According to Radar Online, Giudice's co-stars did not receive the same pay raise, and they are not happy about it; they are demanding a raise, too.
“Teresa’s sister-in-law, Melissa is demanding a significant raise, and wants to be paid $1 million too. Dina Manzo is also seeking a bump in pay.” And another source added, “Jacqueline wanted to be paid as much as Teresa too.”
“And although producers want Caroline Manzo to come back,” the source said, “she is going to be holding out for a big offer, and she isn’t ready to sign back up for all the crazy drama that comes with being on the show.”
As for the other cast members from last season, twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, an insider said they’ve yet to be offered a contract — and it seems unlikely they will be.
“The twins were boring, and didn’t do anything to increase ratings for the show,” the source said.
Giudice still faces nearly $215,000 in restitution payments and court documents obtained by Radar state that the producers of the show "shall withhold 25 percent of any monies held on behalf of, or payable to Teresa Giudice, and pay the sum to the plaintiff."
Giudice is currently serving a fifteen month prison sentence, and is expected to be released in February.
Filming for the upcoming season of RHONJ is expected to begin in the fall.
