Just because Teresa Giudice is headed to prison, doesn’t mean she’s done making a buck off of Bravo!
Production insiders have revealed to Radar Online that Teresa and her family are currently filming the seventh season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, which will document her final weeks as a free woman.
“It was a no brainer for Teresa to decide to do the show,” says one source. “She obviously needs the money to pay off mounting debts. The producers were thrilled because it will result in a ratings bonanza.”
There’s no word yet on exactly how much she’s getting paid, but considering Teresa’s salary for past seasons has exceeded $500,000, it’s a safe bet that filming between now and January should enable the Giudices to pay off the remainder of their six-figure restitution.
In addition to participating in what’s likely to be her final season of RHONJ, Teresa is planning a pre-prison Christmas special that will allow her to “say goodbye” to her fans before beginning her sentence on January 5.
In an unprecedented move for the network, Bravo has reportedly agreed to pay Teresa’s four daughters for their time on camera during the coming months.
