Teresa and Joe Giudice's upcoming jail hearing will likely cause season 6 of Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) to be delayed, RadarOnline reports.

"Obviously, Teresa is going to be a key character in the upcoming season," an insider told the site.

"Bravo doesn't have an air date for the upcoming season of the Real Housewives of New Jerseybecause of Teresa Giudice's prison sentencing hearing."

Melissa Gorga of RHONJ said season 6 will be a "whole new show" after Teresa Giudice and her husband pleaded guilty in court, allthingsrh.com reports, leaving many fans wondering if an episode will likely discuss her jail and hairline rumors.

 "I think that you guys will enjoy it. It was time for a little bit of a switch up," Gorga said, according to the site.

It was also revealed earlier this week that Teresa Giudice and her husband decided to watch Orange Is The New Black to study likely consequences if sent to prison.

"Teresa's friends told her to watch Orange Is The New Black because it deals with a woman being sent to federal prison. At first it seemed like a great idea, and Teresa really laughed for the first several minutes but when the main character actually turns herself in to begin serving the prison sentence, Teresa lost it. She abruptly turned it off, and dissolved into a fit of tears. She actually had to take anti-anxiety medication to calm down," a source told Radar Online.

"She is truly afraid she is going to die in prison...Teresa feels that other inmates will be out to get her, and no one will be able to protect her. Her family is really concerned about Teresa because this is all taking a tremendous toll on her health."

Teresa Giudice and her husband are rumored to be forced to sell their mansion in order to pay off all of the debts they owe.
