The ‘Real New Jersey Housewives’ are lining up with the other ‘Housewives’ – they are safely returning to work and Teresa Giudice he is resuming his role as a top dog … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the production tell us that the Jersey girls will start filming for their 11th season very soon, just as ‘Real Housewives’ in Atlanta and Orange County have recently started doing too. Bravo stopped filming all shows in March due to the pandemic.
The cast and crew of Jersey will go through the same Safety precautions As the other shows: Everyone on set gets daily temperature checks, people are encouraged to distance themselves socially, and many scenes will be outdoors.
We’ve heard that crews will be required to wear masks, but it doesn’t appear that cast members are being forced to do so.
As for the stories of season 11? We are told that Teresa will reappear to a great extent … especially her co-parenting with her estranged husband, Joe, who is in Italy after losing an appeal in its deportation case last year. Season 10 covered some of the consequences of that, including the family trip to visit him.
We are told that Joe and Teresa’s frequent FaceTime calls and phone chats are likely to be documented: they are on good terms at the moment and there is no indication of an impending divorce, despite the fact that they are technically divided. It is not known if Joe will have his own camera equipment in his homeland, but it seems unlikely considering the cost.
FaceTime is much cheaper than a 2 or 3 person camera kit!
