According to a new report, Giudice's attorney, James J. Leonard, has been working his magic as the Real Housewives of New Jersey star sits behind bars, awaiting her Dec. 23 release date.

“Bravo is giving Teresa the huge paycheck because her contract to film Real Housewives of New Jersey didn’t include the post prison interview,” an insider told Radar Online on Monday. “Teresa’s attorney brokered the deal and was able to get $200,000 because there was bidding with several entertainment news programs.”

Giudice entered prison on Jan. 5, and has been serving her 15-month term at the Federal Correctional Facility in Danbury, Conn. Upon her release, she is expected to return to Bravo for filming on The Real Housewives of New Jersey season seven.

“Teresa had wanted an advance of the $200,000 so her family could pay some outstanding bills, but Bravo didn’t agree to give any portion of the advance because it’s uncertain when Teresa will be able to film the interview. Her attorney is working with probation officials about Teresa’s post prison requirements. There is a small chance that Teresa will have to go to a halfway house first as she transitions back to civilian life.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In premieres on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
