Sorry Teresa! Melissa Gorga Getting Teresa Giudice's Old Salary For 'RHONJ' Next Season — Found Out How Much
March 23 2015, Published 7:16 a.m. ET
Lights, camera, cash! Bravo producers have decided the show must go on while Teresa Giudice sits in jail and her estranged sister-in-law is going to benefit from her lock up: RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned Melissa Gorga is going to be earning a cool $750,000 for next season — the same as Giudice did previously!
"Melissa has been given a raise in her new contract," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com about The Real Housewives of New Jersey star.
"Her new salary now matches Teresa's old one. Melissa has always been highly paid but now she's getting the same amount of money that Teresa used to get."
The source told RadarOnline.com that cameras will continue rolling even though Giudice is behind bars.
"They want the franchise to continue no matter what now," the source explained.
Even though Gorga is now commanding a huge salary, she lags behind NeNe Leakes, the highest paid housewife in the franchise, who pulls in over $1 million each season.
