'RHONJ' Spinoff: Teresa Giudice Leaves Series; Star Filming in Prison, No Longer a Housewife

Teresa Giudice might be in prison, but the good news just keeps on coming for the Real Housewives of New Jersey star. Not only did she just secure a pretty hefty payday for her first prison photo that appeared on the cover of Us Weekly, but she's also reportedly getting back in the TV business. That's right: The RHONJ starlet is reportedly in talks to star on her own Bravo spinoff series. The star will film in prison.

While Giudice has only served three months of her total 15-month sentence, Radar Online has learned that she has been in talks with Bravo to be featured on a new spinoff show revolving around her prison life and her family at home. Teresa's husband, Joe, has also been in negotiations with the network for the new series, which will include footage of Teresa behind bars.

It seems that while Joe was skeptical of being part of a spinoff, the father of four didn't really have a choice, as he has been struggling to make ends meet.

"The last thing Joe wanted to do was a reality show, but it was really the only option because there was no money coming in," an insider explained to the site. "With Joe still not working, just putting food on the table was becoming very hard without handouts from their parents."

While fans are anxious to see how the mother of four is doing behind bars, according to The Inquistr, should the spinoff actually happen, Teresa will only be featured through her phone calls and emails, as any on-air time could result in her early release being dismissed.

"There will be no cameras allowed inside the prison, and prison officials will be monitoring the situation to make sure Teresa continues to obey all the rules," a source explained. "Failure to do so could result in her early release, scheduled for February 2016, to be nixed."
