Teresa Giudice is getting paid to bring the drama back to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Teresa Giudice Will Appear On Joe's Special [Report]

According to a new report, Giudice's lackluster sixth season of the show was less than thrilliing for producers, and fans, and going into the upcoming seventh season, they are taking the necessary steps to ensure Giudice ups the ante.

“There was a lot of anger and disappointment towards Teresa because there was this sense that she held back,” an insider explained to Radar Online on Friday. “It was extremely frustrating for the show because Teresa wasn’t bringing the drama that the fans had expected. Producers told her in no uncertain terms that they want more table flipping, and less of the quiet PTA mom they saw last season. If producers feel Teresa is holding back from the drama, she will be fired immediately, and won’t be paid her $1 million salary.”

Giudice will return to production on the Bravo reality series later this year, following her release from the Federal Correctional Facility in Danbury, Conn., where she is currently serving a 15-month sentence for bank and wire fraud.

Producers are “eager to film Teresa and Joe together before he goes off to prison,” the source continued. “It’s expected that Joe won’t surrender immediately after Teresa gets out, and producers will want Teresa to ask him about allegations he cheated on her behind bars.”
