It was reported Teresa and Barney Devito got cornered  up against a wall by a 11 million dollar lynch mob of creditors and other people they fucked over who were carrying pitchforks and torches because of Teresa and Barney Devito’s  little fraud and money scandals they were allegedly involved in, causing both of them to finally be  forced willing to pay their debts and withdraw their request for bankruptcy. Teresa says she is scared to shit of going to jail and becoming someones bitch wants to pay back her debts. Her attorney says she feels “vindicated” to pay her debts.

“Teresa and Joe are happy about this,” Teresa’s bankruptcy attorney Jim Kridel tells PEOPLE. “Teresa has always wanted to be able to say that she paid her creditors.”

For a while, though, that didn’t seem to be a possibility, with joint debts totaling nearly $11 million – the combination of mortgages on inner city apartment buildings Joe owned, bills for building materials and the balances of multiple credit cards.

“Almost all the debt in the bankruptcy was Joe’s debt,” Kridel explains, adding that Teresa, 39, “wanted to pay” various credit card bills and smaller debts, which totaled near $100,000, but couldn’t once they’d filed the petition. Once a bankruptcy has been filed, creditors cannot be paid preferentially.

But now that several of the banks have been repaid from the sale of apartment buildings Joe had owned, and a former business partner’s $586,000 claim againt Joe was settled through a building’s sale, the remaining debts are within a manageable range, Kridel says.

“The cost of litigation might exceed what she owes,” he says. “She may not be able to pay all [her creditors] with one check, but she can pay them back. She wants to do the right thing.”

Well it looks like this may become true for Teresa, since besides their buildings selling  which helped in getting their debt smaller; her punk ass is now also signing up with all kinds of different revenue making ventures in order to pay up their 11 million dollar tab. Teresa was reported to sign up with a teeth whitening company and now she is also rumored to be joining Celebrity Apprentice so she can get “fired” later (cause you know she will). Yep bitch gotta hustle and make that money!
