Teresa Giudice 'RHONJ' Future Revealed - Star Filming Under House Arrest
With Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice getting out of prison this week, a lot of fans have been curious as to what this means for her future on Bravo. We previously reported that the star would be released from prison early, but would still have to complete the last few months of her sentence on house arrest, and viewers have been wondering what this meant for the show. It seems that the decision has been reached and Giudice will indeed be a part of season 7 of RHONJ. She will film while she is under house arrest.
According to Radar Online, the veteran housewife, who has been with the show since season 1, will be able to complete filming, since it is considered work. After a much delayed season, Giudice will begin filming as soon as she gets out of prison, reports are saying.
"Since it's work, it will be allowed, and the Bureau of Prisons has signed off on it," an insider explained to the news site.
So will fans just be getting to see a lot of interior shots of the Giudice's mansion during Teresa's house arrest? Not entirely, as the star is being granted permission to leave the house in order to film, since the show is considered her job.
"Teresa will be permitted to leave the house for work purposes, doctor's appointments, to meet with her lawyers, and to go to church," the news site explained.
The first night of filming that will talk place outside of her house will be on Christmas Eve, as we previously reported that she will spending the night at her brother, Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga's, house.
It also seems that if something should be questionable to Teresa, regarding an appearance or work, she will not be doing it, according to sources.
"Teresa's lawyer, James Leonard, has done a great job with prison staff and probation officials," an insider explained. "If there is any question about whether an outing complies with terms of the house arrest, Teresa will err on the side of caution. She will not do anything to jeopardize the terms of her release."
