In the end, it apparently didn't take long for Teresa Giudice to get back to being the Teresa Giudice "Real Housewives of New Jersey" fans have come to know and love.

Radar Online reports Giudice is already feuding in front of the cameras, recently getting into a "major battle" with reality series costar Jacqueline Laurita.

"Jacqueline and Teresa had a big fight on camera," said a source. "Teresa is the one who started the fight."

Word is Giudice approached Laurita and accused her of calling her friends and new cast members to form alliances while she was locked away.

From there, things quickly escalated, with the subject ultimately turning to Giudice's legal issues and subsequent incarceration.

"The fight was about who was phonier and whose fault it was that Teresa went to jail," a source added. "It was the fact that Teresa is still blaming everyone else for her legal problems and Jacqueline thinks Teresa is in denial."

Soon, the argument turned to Giudice's newfound relationship with sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, and the way the two have supposedly settled their long running feud.

"Teresa was making this big insinuation that she and Melissa are close again," a source added. "It makes Jacqueline mad. It's a big scam that Teresa and Melissa are so close. It's all a big lie just for the cameras."

Several media outlets had reported Giudice had been presenting herself as a much calmer, almost "zen" like person since being released from the Danbury Correctional facility on fraud charges just before Christmas.

Some were even speculating that network officials were growing concerned her fans might not be as enamored with the new Teresa as the one they thought they were resigning to return to the show for up to $2 million per season as Buddy TV has reported.

But with her and Laurita now at each other's throats, that seems like a mute issue for show execs.

"They fought about everything and it lasted 45 minutes," a source said. "Then Teresa flipped out and stormed out of Jacqueline's house."

The two are now rumored to be not speaking, but all indications are their feud will prominently figure into the new season.

"There hadn't been any drama yet," the source added. "Nobody was bringing it, not even the new girls. So this is finally the drama."
