'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Feud With Husband Joe Over First Prison Picture With Kids: How Much Did They Get for Photo?

It looks like Joe Giudice has some explaining to do. While Teresa is stuck behind bars, her hubby is trying everything in his power to make ends meet at home. The Real Housewives of New Jersey dad is taking care of his four daughters while Teresa serves her 15-month sentence in prison for fraud. But when the RHONJ star's husband sold a picture of Teresa in prison to a magazine to make a little extra money, it didn't seem like the reality star was so receptive. And how much did they get for the photo?

The first photo of Teresa behind bars was released yesterday, April 1, on the cover of Us Weekly, where the starlet is sitting with her husband and the couple's four daughters, when the family visited her Danbury, Connecticut, cell.

While fans of the housewife were happy to see her reunited with her family, it doesn't seem like Teresa was too pleased with the picture going public.

In fact, a source told Radar Online that the picture showing Giudice in her green jumpsuit and curly hair "is absolutely humiliating to her because in the photo, she just doesn't look good. She didn't want the public to ever see her like that!"

It has been reported that Joe and the family are having some financial troubles while Teresa is away, and selling the picture to the magazine was a way for Joe to make a quick buck -- $75,000, to be exact.

"Joe had no choice but to sell the photo because the magazine wouldn't publish a feature on the family without it," an insider revealed to the news site. "A picture of Joe and their four daughters wasn't worth anything. The money shot was Teresa in prison."

Fan are still anxiously awaiting the casting new for RHONJ Season 7, which as of now it is unclear if Teresa will be part of it.
