‘Orange Is The New Black’ Star Taylor Schilling’s Prison Advice For ‘Real Housewives’ Star Teresa Giudice

Teresa Giudice is headed to the prison that “Orange Is the New Black” is based on and the star of the Netflix series has some words of advice for the reality star – mainly don’t be anyone’s “dandelion.”

Access Hollywood’s Liz Hernandez spoke to Taylor Schilling on the American Music Awards red carpet, where she shared some tips for “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, who is due to serve 15 months behind bars in Danbury, Connecticut.

“Keep to yourself and find a few allies,” Taylor said of the Bravo star, who was convicted of bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy in October.

Taylor, whose “OITNB” Piper Chapman character knows a thing or two about upsetting her fellow inmates (do we need to remind you about the sandwich her character was served in Season 1?!), encouraged the “Real Housewife” to watch her back.

“Don’t mess around too much,” the actress continued. “She needs to watch herself.”
