Teresa Giudice turned down ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Teresa Giudice has turned down the chance to appear on “Dancing With the Stars” after getting out of jail. Reps for the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star had been talking to ABC about her joining the “DWTS” cast for its next season, which starts this spring.

A source said, “Teresa was offered a six-figure sum, but she decided against it. She feels that she needs to spend time with her family and be there for her children right now.”

Giudice, 43, served time at the Federal Correctional Institution, a minimum-security camp for women in Danbury, Conn., from Jan. 5, 2015, till Dec. 23, but remained under house arrest until Friday morning.

While Giudice may have passed on “DWTS,” she still has her commitment to “Real Housewives” and has been shooting for the Bravo show.
