Despite being in prison, Teresa has recently signed a sign a six-figure deal with Bravo, granting the network the rights to her first post-prison interview when she comes out in December.
Giudice will apparently receive $200,000 for the sit-down interview and the deal was apparently agreed upon because Teresa’s contract with Bravo to film “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” does not include her post-prison interview.
It was actually Teresa’s lawyer who brokered the deal with the network and was able to get $200,000 because several entertainment news programs also bid to get the same post-prison interview.
Giudice still owes the government some $214,588 in restitution as a result of her fraud case and the authorities are slated to garnish up to 25% of her salary with Bravo until the debt is completely paid off.
There are also reports saying that Giudice is asking network officials for an advance payment of her salary from the post-prison interview for her family to pay off some outstanding bills, but it was turned down because they are still uncertain if she can indeed grant the interview by December.
The spinoff TV series will be more than enough for the family to defray their payables and other living expenses while Teresa Giudice awaits completion of her sentence.
