Once she's released from Danbury, Conn.'s Federal Correctional Facility on Dec. 23, Giudice is expected to return to the Bravo reality series, which will chronicle her journey back into her everyday life for the show's seventh season.
"[The cast is] absolutely disgusted that Teresa is going to be paid $2 million to return to the show after being released from prison,” a source told Radar Online on Friday. “The other ladies haven’t even signed their contracts to return, and this convicted felon is having the red carpet rolled out for her."

Giudice and her husband, Joe, pleaded guilty to charges of bank and wire fraud during a March 2014 appearance in court. Months later, during their sentencing, the reality couple received prison time for their crimes. On Jan. 5 of this year, Giudice began her 15-month term, and once her sentence is complete, Joe will begin a 41-month term.
Although Giudice's contract with Bravo has yet to be finalized, Andy Cohen reportedly confirmed to Anderson Cooper last week that her lawyer had come to an agreement with the network.
"Teresa Giudice has signed up informally for Real Housewives of New Jersey 2016, the network’s head confirmed late last night," LALATE reported on Sunday. "Teresa Giudice has not signed a full employment contract for RHONJ. But her lawyer has committed to a informal deal memo indicating that Teresa is ready and willing to rejoin RHONJ 2016."
