The network is said to want to wait until Giudice is sentenced before the ladies tape the reunion. Considering her and her husband's federal fraud sentencing has been pushed back twice, the reunion was postponed as well, an insider close to the production team told Radar Online Friday.
"They keep delaying it. They want to get her sentencing in. "They will continue to delay until she is sentenced. It was going to be filmed in September because that's when her sentencing was. They can use any excuse they want. But it's because they want the sentencing first."
