Former RHONJ star: Bravo owes Guidice family

Former “Real Housewives of NJ” star Danielle Staub discusses Joe and Teresa Guidice’s prison sentence.

Wendy Feldman, Teresa Giudice’s crisis manager, has called it quits after working with the reality TV darling for a matter of weeks.

“A relationship takes respect and effort as well as honesty,” Feldman told Page Six Tuesday morning via email. “This relationship was filled with more problems than usual clients have because of the constant refusal of Teresa to accept responsibility for the smallest thing. This may be due to poor prior advice and so a coping mechanism or just plain denial. In any event, federal prison is no joke and must be navigated with extreme care. In the end that wasn’t done and so the relationship had to take a new direction. This is very sad. And after months of hard work not a decision made lightly. I wish it was different but I have other clients who need their interests protected as well.”

Teresa, according to E! News, petitioned to serve her 15-month sentence at the Danbury Federal Prison in Connecticut made famous by the Netflix show “Orange Is the New Black.”

“It’s important to note that the filing yesterday was not done correctly and in fact makes it look like one can just pick their prison,” Feldman explained about the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star’s request. “That’s simply not true. The Bureau of Prisons designates prisons and criminal history makes status of camp eligibility very clear.”

Teresa will begin serving her time on Jan. 5 at an undetermined location. The star’s husband, Joe, won’t begin serving his 41-month sentence until hers is completed.
