Teresa, Joe Giudice Ink New Bravo Deal for 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Spinoff; Are They Filming Behind Bars ?
Jailed "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice has inked a new deal with Bravo that will include footage from the 15-month sentence she is currently serving in federal prison on fraud charges.
Radar reports she and husband Joe have signed off on the new, reality show venture, who's cast will also include the couple's four young daughters, Gia, 14, Gabriella 10, Milania 9, and Audriana, 5. A source told the website producers for the new show insisted that at least some of Teresa's jail house conversations with family members will be included in the story lines.
"The family will be required to talk to Teresa on speaker phone," the source added. "As well as to share any email correspondence they have with her."
Rumors are after much deliberation and hesitation, Giudice family members relented and agreed to the terms of the deal "because there was no money coming in" from any other source.
"The last thing Joe wanted to do was a reality show, but it was really the only option," the source added. "With Joe still not working, just putting food on the table was becoming very hard without handouts from their parents."
As a part of filming, cameras will be mounted to the family vehicle whenever someone visits Teresa and the Danville Correction facility. Teresa Giudice recently incurred the wrath of at least some prison officials when authorities confiscated the cell phone of another inmate that had been smuggled in.
"She had candid photos of Teresa all around the prison," a source previously told Radar. "Doing yoga, exercising and more. The woman was trying to get the photos out to sell them."
Shooting on the new show is expected to officially commence this fall. With good behavior, Teresa could be released soon after that, but upon her release Joe Giudice will be required to start serving a near four-year sentence on similar charges.
