'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Teresa Giudice News Update: Reality Star Set to Pen Prison Tell All
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice is planning to release a "prison tell all" just hours after she is scheduled to be released from federal prison on band fraud related charges.
People Magazine reports the novel will be entitled "Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again," and will be coauthored by staff writer K.C. Baker and released on Feb. 9.
The 43-year-old reality star's official release date from the Danbury Correctional facility is slated for Feb. 5, though some news outlets have reported she could be home around Christmas time with time off for good behavior.
"While we've all watched Teresa's life unfold on television, 'Turning the Tables' will mark the first time we will hear all of Teresa's incredible life story, including her recent stint in prison," said Gallery Books publisher Jennifer Bergstrom.
Meanwhile, Giudice is already starring in the family's spin-off reality show "Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In" via jailhouse phone conversations with her husband Joe and their four young daughters. The premise of the Bravo-aired show centers on Joe's struggles to hold his family together while his wife is away and still incarcerated.
In addition, Teresa has already resigned to rejoin the cast of "Real Housewives" once she is released and some reports have pegged her annual salary to be in the neighborhood of $2 million. The windfall couldn't come at a better time for the family who recently lost their Montville Township mansion to foreclosure.
There's no official word about how much publisher Gallery Books is paying Teresa for the novel, but this hardly marks her first foray into the world of book publishing. She previously coauthored several bestselling cookbooks under her "Skinny Italian" brand.
Once Teresa has been released, Joe is slated to soon commence serving out the terms of his 41-month sentence on similar charges.
