'Do you know what the law means?' Teresa Giudice risks violating her parole after husband Joe invites another FELON to her book launch

Not understanding that sometimes rules apply to everyone may be one of the reasons this star is currently sitting in jail.

In a sneak peek of the Real Housewives Of New Jersey, it was revealed that Joe Giudice put his wife Teresa at risk of violating her parole after wanting to be the host with the most to his friends, one of whom had a rap sheet.

In a teaser provided to People on Friday, the 44-year-old makes a major guest list slip up that could have serious legal ramifications for his wife.

Filmed prior to Joe heading to jail for 41-months and just after his 44-year-old spouse was released, in the clip the couple are headed to Teresa's memoir launch.

With a big shindig planned to celebrate the book, Turning The Tables, Joe decided to invite all his friends along, including a pal named Chris.

Chris is a convicted felon and as part of Teresa's parole she cannot she cannot be around other convicted felons.

Despite knowing this, her husband invited his friend to the party, who arrives at the event - which is held at a bar - with his underage son.

In a piece to camera, Teresa reveals why it is such a big deal: 'I told my husband he could invite whoever he wanted, I did not know he invited his friend that was bringing his 12-year-old son - you had to be 21 and over.'

Making matters worse: 'My attorney Jim found out he's a felon, so one of the rules that I have to follow is that I can't be around other felons.'

Despite this, as Chris arrives at the party, he calls Joe to make sure everything is fine with his attendance.

Parole in jeopardy: In a piece to camera, Teresa reveals why it is such a big deal as part of the conditions of her release from prison was that she does not associate with other felons

'Whose law?' While his wife informs him Chris cannot bring his son in as 'it's the law', Joe thinks the rules don't necessarily apply

'Whose law?' he demands.

Returning to his phone call, Joe said: 'I'll see what I can do when I get there. Go to the door and see what happens.'

That ma be the issue: The 44-year-old star tries to make it clear to her husband, 'Do you know what the law means?'

An infuriated Theresa then asks: 'Do you know what the law means?'

'I would never jeopardize you my love, I love you,' her husband promises.

Joe's understanding of the law has, of course, not been the best in the past hence why he is currently serving a 41-month prison sentence as of March this year.

The big house: Joe is currently serving 41-month sentence while Teresa just finished 11 months in jail for fraud (the pair are pictured outside court in 2014)

Both he and Theresa plead guilty to a number of fraud charges with Theresa serving 11 months in jail.

The reality star was originally sentenced to 15 months but was let out early just before Christmas.

The couple did start their sentences at the same time so that there was a parent which their children Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana.

That was lucky: The reality star was originally sentenced to 15 months but was let out early just before Christmas (she is seen here at her launch in February)
