She might not be out of prison yet, but according to sources, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice might have already landed herself her first post-jail job. That's right, the Bravo starlet might not have stepped from her orange jumpsuit into her ball gown yet, but she is going to have to bring it to the dry cleaner because it is being speculated that this RHONJ girl has just landed her first talk after the slammer. In fact, it seems that the meeting was actually in high demand as a bidding war was happening for the first sit down with the Giudice. So which network got the interview, and are the reports of the $200,000 payday true or false?
Well it turns out that Bravo has kept it in the family and has agreed to pay Giudice a pretty penny to spill all the secrets of her prison life when she is released in the coming weeks- that is, at least according to what Radar Online reported.
"Bravo is giving Teresa the huge paycheck because of her contract to film Real Housewives of New Jersey didn't include the post prison interview," the source explained to the site. "Teresa's attorney brokered the deal and was able to get $200,000 because there was bidding with several entertainment news programs."

While it's a lot of money headed Giudice's way, she was hoping that the payday would come now so that her family at home can pay some of their outstanding bills, but the network wasn't agreeing to that.
"Bravo didn't agree to give any portion of the advance because it's uncertain when Teresa will be able to film the interview," an insider explained to The Inquistr. "Her attorney is working with probation officers about Teresa's post prison requirements. There is a small chance that Teresa will have to go to a halfway house first as she transitions back to civilian life."
However, despite Radar Online's claim, Gossip Cop is reporting that the claims that Giudice signed a contract are "not true at all."
Fans will be able to keep up with Giudice as Bravo will be checking in with the star on a series of specials that will begin airing next month on the network called The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In.
