That was it. It was $500 bills,”*** Teresa said. However, Jacqueline insisted she remembers producers giving Teresa more cash. ***“They were like, ‘Just act like you’re paying [in cash].’ There was like 100s mixed in with other smaller bills,”*** the Bravo alum explained. ![Teresa Giudice pays in all cash during season one of RHONJ. ](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/rhonj-teresa-giudice-cash-scene.png)Teresa Giudice pays in all cash during season one of RHONJ.

It looked like I had all that money cash on me,” ***the season 14 RHONJ star recalled.
