NY Post October 6. 2014
No wonder Teresa and Joe Giudice are so willing to talk.
TMZ reports that Bravo is paying the couple $325,000 to sit down with “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen on Monday night.
The website claims the home of the “Housewives” offered $275,000 for Teresa and $50,000 for Joe. As part of their sentencing, they each owe $414,588 in restitution.
No wonder Teresa and Joe Giudice are so willing to talk.
TMZ reports that Bravo is paying the couple $325,000 to sit down with “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen on Monday night.
The website claims the home of the “Housewives” offered $275,000 for Teresa and $50,000 for Joe. As part of their sentencing, they each owe $414,588 in restitution.
But Page Six has learned that the number is inaccurate and a rep for Bravo declined to confirm the report.
In a teaser clip for the interview, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 42, tells Cohen, “I was so nervous, I was shaking. My nerves were shot. I’ve had sleepless nights. I was shocked. It was very unexpected. I don’t know what to say.”
Teresa will surrender on Jan. 5 and will spend 15 months in prison. When she is released, her husband, Joe, 42, will then head to prison for his 41-month sentence.
The interview airs on Monday at 9 p.m.
“The network won’t be commenting and never does when it comes to salaries,” a spokesperson for the network said.
