Real Housewives of New Jersey cast members are reportedly not happy with Bravo’s decision not to film Teresa Giudice’s tax woes.
Teresa and her husband, Luis Ruelas, have outstanding tax debts exceeding $3 million. According to court documents, Teresa owes $303,889.20, while Ruelas is responsible for nearly $2.6 million.
“It is very telling that cameras are not up and filming Teresa and her latest financial crisis,” a source told OK! Magazine. “In the past, production would have rushed to capture this on camera. There’s so much real, raw stuff going on, it would only make sense that Bravo would want to film this.”
This is not Teresa’s first encounter with legal and financial troubles; she previously served an 11-month prison sentence in 2015 for mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud. Bravo filmed Teresa and her then-husband Joe Goudice’s troubles and even paused the show until she was released from federal prison.
“Clearly Bravo isn’t as interested in RHONJ or in Teresa’s story as they once were,” the insider added. “It’s starting to make the cast question if the show will ever be returning to the screen, as they are losing quality storytelling they could be obtaining right now.”
