Teresa Giudice's lawyer says she's in 'tip-top shape' and claims she's a 'whole new' person emotionally

Teresa Giudice’s lawyer, James Leonard, Jr., is updating fans on his client, who remains behind bars until right before Christmas day.

The mom of four has been getting into excellent shape while in the Danbury, Conn. jail she’s serving a 15-month sentence in. Her physical well being isn’t all that she’s been working on though, according to Leonard.

"She's in absolute tip-top shape," he told E! News. "She's rock-hard mentally, physically and emotionally."

Her lawyer also mentioned that people will be “very surprised” when she gets out of jail and returns home to New Jersey, because he claimed, "It's a whole new Teresa coming home."

There’s been rumors Bravo is halting production on Real Housewives of New Jersey until Giudice gets out of jail, so we might be able to see this “new” side of her on the small screen sometime in the future.

Giudice’s husband, Joe Giudice, is filming a Bravo special with the couple’s daughters about life without their mom, which she will make an appearance on via phone.
