By DANIEL HUBBARD (Patch Staff)

Teresa Giudice’s money problems could soon be on their way to being solved.

RadarOnline is reporting that “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” has signed a $1 million-deal to return to the show following her 15-month sentence on fraud charges in federal prison.

Giudice, 43, still owes $215,000 in restitution payments. Bravo will withhold 25 percent of “any monies held on behalf of, or payable to” Giudice.

Giudice’s phone call from the Danbury Correctional Facility in Connecticut will reportedly be part of a soon-to-air television special, Radar online reported.

Radar reports that filming for the show’s 15th season will begin in the fall. Giudice is scheduled to be released from prison Feb. 5, however, her lawyer has said she may be released in time to spend Christmas with her family and serve the rest of her sentence under home confinement, according to NJ.com.

Giudice will soon share her prison diary with fans with a book she’s writing.

Giudice’s cast mates are reportedly not happy with her being paid so much to return to the show.

Melissa Gorga, Giudice’s sister-in-law whom she constantly fights with, and Dina Manzo reportedly want to be paid as much as Giudice reportedly will be.

“It sends a very bad message to their fans that crime does indeed pay,” an insider reportedly told Radar.
