"Well, I think the reality is that playing an inmate on television is very different than actually be incarcerated," Cox mused. "I wish her the best and I know it can't be easy for her and her family."

As previously reported, veteran New Jersey Housewife Giudice will serve 15 months' jail time for fraud charges at the prison camp, which serves as the inspiration behind OITNB. She will serve her sentence first, reporting to the facility on Jan. 5, 2015. Her husband Joe Giudice will then carry out his 41-month prison sentence so that one parent will always be home with their four daughters Gia, 13, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.

"Teresa and I have had lots of conversations," Leakes revealed. "We've talked a lot. She called me for some help with some other things and I helped her out."
