12. Teresa Giudice Kickstarts Gia’s Singing Career

Although Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was facing federal prison for fraud at the time, in late 2014 she took to Kickstarter to fund a music video by her daughter Gia’s awful band 3KT. The ambitious project sought $7,500 but raised just $926 from 19 backers.

It was closed on December 1st, 2014 and an update said the project was funded by two private companies “outside of Kickstarter” which were not named.

The Season of Joy video did find its way to YouTube, where it received a lukewarm reception at best. Read: it has more thumbs down votes than thumbs up votes, but you know how fickle YouTube can be.
