According to Teresa Guidice, the photographers wanted the first snapshot of her fresh out of jail. Giudice said, “They wanted the first photo and I did it, I was like, ‘If they’re going to get it anyway, I might as well make money off of it.'” While she was serving time, she managed to arrange an exclusive photo deal with People magazine for pictures taken as she left prison at 5 a.m. on December 23, 2015.

The reality TV star couldn't recall exactly how the paparazzi got in touch with her back then as it's “been a while now,” but she figured it might have been through her lawyer or representative at the time. Teresa didn't spill the beans on how much cash she raked in from the photo deal.
