According to a new report, Teresa Giudice is getting a huge paycheck to film her reunion with her Joe Giudice for the upcoming tenth season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. If you recall, the father-of-four was released from ICE custody last week and left the U.S. for Italy as he awaits the final decision on his deportation appeal.
“Teresa is getting a huge paycheck to take the girls to Italy and film the reunion with Joe,” the insider told Radar Online. “She’s going the first week in November with the girls, and the RHONJ cameras too.”
“Teresa is getting around six figures to film these extra scenes with Joe in Italy.”
E! News reported that Teresa and her daughters are looking forward to visiting Joe in Italy. The outlet claims that everyone is very excited for the upcoming trip. At the same time, those closest to Joe just want to quietly enjoy the huge new step.
Fans of the series went wild online when photos of Joe after prison release went viral, showing his incredible weight loss transformation. Sources reveal to E! News that the father-of-four lost at least 50 pounds when he was away. "He looks and feels great," a source shared. "He did it through a combination of diet and lots of working out while he was away."
Joe was reunited with his brother Pete, who left a day before to welcome him upon his arrival in Rome. According to our friends Team Giudice, Joe's mother also went to Italy with Pete to welcome her son after being released from ICE to help him get settled in Italy while he awaits the final decision in his deportation appeal.
The news comes after Giudice was freed from ICE custody and flew to Rome, Italy on Friday. The 47-year-old, father of four is “free” his lawyer James J. Leonard Jr. said in a statement to PEOPLE. “He is en route to Italy right now. He spoke to Teresa and Gia from the plane and he is extremely happy to be released, more than words can describe,” the lawyer continued.
“We are still fighting and it is his desire to return home to the United States to be reunited with his family.”
TMZ was first to report his departure plans for Friday night, with sources telling the outlet that Joe flew to Rome via economy.
As previously reported, Joe was denied his original request to be released to the New Jersey home he shares with wife Teresa Giudice and their four daughters. He then filed a petition in late September to go to Italy instead. That request was approved earlier this month.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, lawyers for Joe said he was hoping to get out so he could work to make money for his family.
They also stated that Joe is still hopeful his appeal will be granted, allowing him to come back to the United States. In the event that he does prevail in his case after he has been sent to Italy, Joe requests that ICE facilitate his return home.
