Drama pays!

Teresa Giudice is cashing in on hubby Juicy Joe’s deportation crisis, getting a whopping $500,000 to film about the situation, RadarOnline.com exclusively learned.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s imprisoned husband, Joe Giudice, could be kicked out of the country at any time after a judge ruled his deportation process could proceed and the Bravolebrity is going to showcase the scandal on television.

“Teresa was offered big bucks to film a special about Joe’s deportation and she agreed to do it,” an insider snitched to Radar. “Half a million dollars to share the story on camera.

“It is going to be like the other specials when she was in prison and will show how she and Joe and the girls are handling the scary prospect of Joe getting deported.”

“Records show that an immigration judge ordered Mr. Giudice be removed from the United States on March 14, 2018,” an official for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review told Radar in an exclusive statement.

Desperate for cash as Joe’s hearing in August loomed, the source told Radar that Teresa agreed to film the special.

“Teresa will do anything for the money. She never stops thinking about taking care of her girls and she agreed to this so that they would have money for college. She is a good mom and wants to provide for her children.”

Though Joe’s sentence will not be completed until March 2019, the reality dad could be kicked out of the country and booted to his native Italy before that time, the Justice Department told Radar.

If Joe is able to complete his sentence, he will immediately be turned over to ICE custody upon his release.
