'Real Housewives of New Jersey' News: Joe Giudice to Serve Sentence at Same Prison as Apollo Nida
Two of the spouses of stars from the "Real Housewives" franchise are slated to soon be roommates at a New Jersey prison.
Radar Online reports Apollo Nida, the already imprisoned husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks, was recently transferred from a prison in Kentucky to the FCI Fort Dix correctional facility in New Jersey.
The website adds that is the exact same facility where Joe Giudice, the husband of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice, is scheduled to commence serving out his 41-month sentence on bank fraud-related charges soon after the new year.
Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice remains jailed on similar charges. She is slated to be released from her 15-month sentence sometime around Christmas.
Teresa Giudice has already signed on to rejoin the cast of "Real Housewives" once she is free, and some media outlets have reported her salary could rise as high as $2 million per season.
Bravo network officials are rumored to be delaying filming on the new "New Jersey" season in hopes of being able to incorporate her in as many scenes as possible. The 43-year-old Teresa Giudice has also signed to pen a prison memoir chronicling all her behind-bars experiences.
Meanwhile, the 37-year-old Nida recently penned a letter from the low security prison where he is being held, assuring all that it "won't be long before he is a free man."
However, the Bureau of Prisons lists his actual release as Aug. 29, 2020, nearly six years from his first day in confinement. Nida was sentenced to eight years behind bars after pleading guilty to bank fraud and identity theft.
Recently, Nida had plenty of unsolicited advice for the incoming Giudice.
"Stay humble and don't act better than anyone," he advised the old "RHONJ" star. "Just observe your surroundings,"
