Will Real Housewives of NJ be put on hold while Teresa Giudice is in prison?
We’ve heard this rumor before and now that TMZ is covering this it seems true: The Real Housewives of New Jersey may actually stop filming for the next year while resident villain Teresa Giudice serves her time in Danbury Federal Correctional Institution. TMZ reports that Teresa is so central to the show that Bravo executives are “‘strongly leaning’ in the direction of putting the show on ice, because without Teresa it’s boring. Bravo is worried a bad season could tank the show, and it’s just safer to wait.”
Of course this is pissing off Teresa’s costars, who will have to hustle harder than usual to maintain their flashy lifestyles when the cameras aren’t rolling. TMZ explains that this will give Teresa the advantage when it comes to negotiating her paycheck upon her release. She’s the one they want and she can hold out for more money.
Radar Online claims that Teresa has basically no friends left from the show, which makes sense because she’s a narcissist who doesn’t listen to reason. Apparently Jacqueline Laurita was trying to be friendly towards her in her time of need, but got fed up and isn’t bothering anymore.
“Jacqueline is known for being a compassionate friend, regardless of how many times someone has burned her,” an insider dishes. “But she has clearly reached her boiling point with Teresa.”
“Anyone paying attention to the show has seen Jacqueline continue to try to repair their friendship, but each attempt was met with resistance from Teresa,” continues the insider. “It seems that Teresa has finally succeeded in pushing her away.”
The source points out that Laurita found a public — yet subtle — way to diss Giudice. “We saw no tweet from Jacqueline reaching out to Teresa when she went to jail…This is clearly different from how things would have been in the past.”
Teresa was also once friends with Kathy Walkie, but “treated [Kathy] like crap” so Kathy’s not her friend anymore either. Teresa is sort-of still in with Dina Manzo, they did that New Year’s resolution video together for Glam, but that’s a tenuous friendship.
Meanwhile Radar got ahold of the new inmate orientation pamphlet for Danbury Correctional Institution. Inmates of course have to keep their area clean and neat, which is funny to consider in light of Teresa’s extreme entitlement. On the show she said she was building her own home because “It’s just skeeve looking at other people’s houses. I don’t want to live in somebody else’s house, that’s gross.” Surely some of that was a put on for the show, but imagine how dirty the shower floors must be in that place. I would give good money to see Teresa have to tape maxi pads on her feet until her commissary money comes through. No wonder Bravo wants to postpone the show until she comes back. Teresa’s projected release date is in February of next year.
