'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Reunion Aftermath: Bravo Star Behind-The-Scenes Drama Filming For New Season Before Prison Time, Wants Daughters To Get Paid!

Real Housewives of New Jersey just started airing it's drama-filled reunion shows, but they've already begun filming their next season before Teresa Giudice goes off to prison. According to Radar Online, Season 7 for the reality franchise staple is underway with Teresa's family being at the center of the show.

"It was a no brainer for Teresa to decide to do the show, because she obviously needs the money to pay off mounting debts," a source told the site. "The producers were thrilled, because it will result in a ratings bonanza."

This time the RHONJ star wants major dough for her daughters' involvement in the Bravo production.

"Teresa is using the girls as leverage to get more money," the source continued. "She knows viewers will want to see how they are coping with the fallout from their parents' legal problems."

Even though filming has started, the reality star and the network have yet to come to a deal regarding her four girls: Gia, 13, Gabriella, 9, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.

As MStars News reported, Teresa will also be starring in a holiday-themed special episode before going off to prison on Jan. 5, where she gets to say goodbye to the viewers who have watched her since the first season of the show.

It's been quite a tumultuous couple of months for Teresa who was sentenced to 15 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of mortgage and bankruptcy fraud. Husband Joe Giudice, who also plead guilty, received 59 months behind bars for two separate crimes.

In MStars News' exclusive interview with RHONJ stars Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, the twins told us they couldn't discuss the next season, but rumor has it they will be a part of it as well.
