The Dancing With the Stars contestant opened up about the show.
ABC
Dancing with the Stars season 31.
A “Dancing With the Stars” contestant revealed that she was first approached to join the show years before she actually said yes.
“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice is partnered with Pasha Pashkov for the 31st season of the celebrity ballroom competition, but she was first asked to join the show more than five years ago while she was incarcerated.
In 2014, Giudice and her then-husband, Joe, were sentenced to jail after being charged with tax fraud. The Bravo star served nearly a year in prison, while her husband served 41 months before being deported to Italy, per The Knot.
Giudice lost nearly one year of time with her four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana, when she was in jail, and she almost lost more– until Bravo stepped in.

While she is a cast member on “DWTS” in 2022 and has been paired with “the perfect guy” for her pro partner, on an episode of her “Namaste B$tches” podcast, Giudice revealed that she was actually asked to join the show for the first time in 2015.
