Teresa Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey News: Teresa Rumored to Have Been Offered $2M to Return to Shows; Are Cast Mates Infuriated?
Bravo Network executives are rumored to have offered Teresa Giudice $2 million to return to the cast of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," reportedly infuriating all of her fellow cast mates.
Sources tell RadarOnline that show execs recently extended their offer to 43-year-old Giudice, currently serving out the remainder of her 15 month sentence on bank fraud related charges at the Danbury Correctional Facility. With time for good behavior, it's reported Giudice could be released as early as around Christmas time.
With all the acrimony the Bravo offer appears to be generating among other cast members, the plot lines could already be drawn for return and the show's next season.
"The other ladies haven't even signed their contracts to return, and this convicted felon is having the red carpet rolled out for her," a source told Radar. "Teresa's contract has been finalized and Bravo is ready to focus the entire season on her return."
Still, not everything is etched in stone. Reports are whenever Teresa is released from custody she will still be on probation and thus required to get the approval of her probation officer to be able to return to the show.
Radar previously reported probation officials have been slow to green light her return, even though she recently signed legal documents agreeing to allow the government to garnish up to 25 percent of her salary from the show to pay off the $400,000 she still owes in restitution stemming from her conviction.
Once Teresa is formally released, her husband, Joe, is scheduled to begin serving the 41-month sentence he was slapped with on similar charges. He too recently signed with Bravo officials to begin filming his own spin off show which will chronicle his life as a single parent to the couple's four young daughters while his wife remains incarcerated.
