Teresa Giudice will never walk away from RHONJ despite growing family feuds

Despite her ongoing family feud, Teresa Giudice has absolutely no intention of ever stepping back from her lucrative starring role on Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

“I would never step away. I started the show. I’ll never give that to anyone because I’m the one who started the show,” the 50-year-old mother of four told People on Thursday.

“Other people try to project that, like, ‘Oh, Teresa wants to go.’ It’s so crazy to me how people are trying to plant the seed that Teresa wants to leave the show… the games that people are playing. no I started this. I’m not leaving until Bravo wants me to leave.’

‘I would never step down’: Despite her perpetually fracturing family feud, Teresa Giudice has absolutely no intention of ever stepping down from her lucrative gig on Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey (pictured Sunday).

Teresa was reportedly paid $80,000 for the first season of RHONJ in 2009, and she was cast more easily thanks to her longtime friendships with Jacqueline Laurita, Caroline Manzo, and Dina Manzo.

In 2019, Radar Online reported that Giudice (née Gorga) was making $1.116 million — or $62,000 per episode — to appear in season 10, so one can only imagine how much she paid for the upcoming 13th season has been paid for.

In contrast, her estranged sister-in-law Melissa Gorga reportedly makes $750,000 per season, having joined the show in 2011’s third season thanks to her marriage to Joe Gorga, podcaster Namaste B****es’ younger brother.

“I never signed up to be on a TV show with my family,” Teresa explained.

“That was my thing. I was excited. It was something new for me and it was like my job and I was excited and then all of a sudden I’m being bombed and mugged by my family. And it was very sad because I felt like my dream was shattered.”
