Teresa Giudice Cooking Show: Lucrative ‘Bravo’ Deal Worth Estimated $2 Million A Year, Post-Prison

Teresa Giudice may be not be too happy about the prospect of serving her upcoming 15-month prison sentence, relating to 41 counts of fraud which she and her husband Joe were convicted of on March 4, but she is reportedly delighted about the multi-million dollar deal she just agreed with Bravo.

Following her jail time, which commences on January 5, Teresa will host an all-new Bravo cooking show and will also return to her spot on Real Housewives of New Jersey on a part-time basis.

In trying to offer a fair sentence to the couple, the judge ordered that Joe’s 41-month sentence will commence only after Teresa’s has finished, for the sake of their four daughters, Gia, 13, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 8, and Audrianna, 5.

A Daily Mail report from today alleged that a Bravo insider told them that a cooking show was a natural choice for the housewife and, what’s more, she is slated to net an estimated $2 million annually for it.

Apparently, despite her shady financial dealings, Teresa Giudice is a dab hand in the kitchen as is proved by three successful cookbooks which she published that have all been on the New York Times Best Seller list. Skinny Italian, Fabulicious and Fabulicious!, and Fast & Fit.

The insider told the Mail that Bravo and Giudice have been planning for the new show.

“Teresa and BRAVO have been taking this time to plan a big media event when she is released from prison either late next year or early 2016. Teresa has been so popular with the viewers that they know this is going to be an amazing event. They are going to stay in touch with Teresa while she is in prison by taping phone calls and if possible, they will do jailhouse interviews with her.”

Another insider told the publication that, as well as the cooking show and the part-time slot on RHONJ, Teresa plans to file for divorce from Joe just as soon as she feasibly can.

“Teresa is livid with Joe for putting her in this position so she is fed up and going to send him the divorce papers and tell him to sign them while he is sitting in cell — or else! Teresa depended on Joe too much to take care of the family and now she is paying for it! She trusted Joe and that’s why they got into trouble — he was greedy and did some shady deals to live large.”

Despite her previous misdemeanours, it seems that Teresa Giudice will likely be set up for life, having declared bankruptcy, as she looks to a future in the world of cooking shows, which she will no doubt enjoy much success with.
