Teresa Giudice $1 Million 'RHONJ' Salary in Jeopardy After Prison Release Date

Teresa Giudice might be coming out of prison with a job to look forward to, but is The Real Housewives of New Jersey's new position already in jeopardy? Well it might seem like it, at least if these new reports have anything to say about it. Giudice achieved a major feat by scoring a huge salary increase for her post-prison employment on the Bravo reality show, but should she not deliver on the drama her $1 million payday will be null and void. That's right, should the starlet not spar with her co-stars, it is being speculated that she will be fired on the spot and not see a penny of her salary.

According to reports from Radar Online, the starlet should be using her time in prison to ramp up her comeback plan, because if she doesn't deliver on the drama then she can kiss reality TV goodbye.

"Producers told her in no uncertain terms that they want more table flipping, and less of the quiet PTA mom they saw last season," an insider explained to the news site. "If producers feel Teresa is holding back from the drama, she will be fired immediately, and won't be paid her $1 million salary."

One of the stories that producers are hoping to get on camera, according to The Inquistr, is Teresa's interaction with Joe before he goes off to prison. They are really hoping that she will corner him and ask him about the rumors that he had been unfaithful to her while she was behind bars.

"[Producers are] eager to film Teresa and Joe together before he goes off to prison," the insider explained. "It's expected that Joe won't surrender immediately after Teresa gets out, and producers will want Teresa to ask him about allegations he cheated on her behind bars."

However according to People, some of Teresa's co-stars, including season six pal Amber Marchese, don't think that the spotlight is a place for Giudice anymore.

"I don't think they should bring Teresa back," Marchese tells the news site. "I don't have an issue with her working. She can work all she wants. I just don't think it's appropriate for her to be on this type of show any longer."

The series is expected to return sometime next year for season seven.
