On Sunday's emotional episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In, Teresa Giudice detailed her experience of getting "shaken down" in prison.
During the second installment in RHONJ's thee-part special detailing Teresa's stint in a Connecticut correctional facility, the 43-year-old reality star reveals that she was strip searched by prison guards.
"I got shaken down," Teresa said. "Like our room got shaken down, I guess they were looking for a cell phone or something."

It all started when Teresa asked her daughter Gia to tweet for her. Apparently, Prison guards believed the tweet actually came from Teresa while behind bars, and they were determined to find the phone she used.
"They're so invading!" Teresa recounted. "Like you have to bend down and cough."
The one thing Teresa seemed most concerned about was her daughter feeling guilty about the incident.

"I don't want her to think she did anything wrong," Teresa said. "She didn't do anything wrong, she did what I told her. I asked her to do it."
Teresa's husband Joe got emotional thinking about the uncomfortable situation.
"I never thought my wife would be getting a shakedown," Joe said. "That definitely makes me upset thinking my poor wife has to go through this bulls**t in there."
