Teresa, from the Housewives of New Jersey is asking the hit television franchise to either pay up or she’s out! For those of you who aren’t sure who Teresa is, she is the lady who famously flipped over the dinner table during an argument with her nemesis, Danielle.She is also the New Jersey housewife who has been having some financial trouble since the downturned economy hurt her hubby’s business.According to those in the “know,” Teresa and several other women in the cast want more money. They have decided not to begin the third season of the show unless their deals are upgraded.Theresa wants Jersey Shore money, which is approximately $30,000 per episode. She also wants a portion of the merchandise sales. Theresa has threatened to walk if she doesn’t get her way. No word from Bravo.I think that I’m ‘Team Teresa’ on this one. She and the girls should receive a portion of the merchandise sales. It’s their likeness and antics that are making the producers money. Regarding their salaries, I’m not sure. MTV is funding Jersey Shores and their pockets maybe a bit deeper then Bravos but I’m not sure. Either way, good luck girls. You deserve a decent percentage of the product you make possible.
