Many were shocked after a judge sentenced Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Joe and Teresa Giudice to time in prison—41 and 15 months, respectively—and some Bravolebrities are even coming forward to speak out on the ruling.

Former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin took to Twitter to share her concern over the reality couple's four daughters and wrote, "I am in shock. I really hoped the judge would show more leniency. Please give her space and time to process this."

She continued, "No matter what you think of Teresa and Joe.. Our hearts are breaking. I am physically sick. Please pray for their children and family."

While the majority of other housewives in the successful franchise remained quiet on the serious matter, there were others who shared their feelings on social media.

Jersey Belle star Jaime Primak posted, "No matter how wrong Teresa Giudice is, 15 months away from her babies will be hell on earth.."

USA Network star Todd Chrisley also gave a shout-out to Teresa's co-star and close pal Dina Manzo in his message on Twitter: "Hello gorgeous, hope you are well. please give our best to Teresa and Joe, they are in our prayers, tell them both."

And while Melissa Gorga hasn't broken her silence on the rulings, just yesterday she tweeted with a fan about being glad that the focus of this season is not on her drama with her sister-in-law.

"I'm so glad @melissagorga & @joegorga are able to sit back, relax & watch someone else's family drama for a change," the fan wrote, to which she replied, "Lol.. For once! Xo"

It was also just announced that Teresa and Joe themselves will speak about today's hearing, their uncertain future, and all the changes they're about to face in a special Watch What Happens Live sit-down chat with Andy Cohen.

The interview will mark the first time they'll publically speak post-sentencing.
