‘RHONY’ Cast Battle For More Pay As Bravo Scouts New ‘Housewives’ — Cast Salaries Revealed!
The battle is on! Now that the final installment of The Real Housewives of New York reunion show will air this Wednesday, the claws are coming out for next season’s contract negotiations.
Page Six is reporting that Bethenny Frankel, the costar leading with a six-figure salary, is “poised to take in up to $1.5 million for the new season.”
An insider explained what goes on during contract negations.
“There is the usual back-stabbing, claw-digging and nastiness” due to the other women wanting as much money as Bethenny, who has been “deemed reliable reality TV…she is controlled chaos.”
The salaries for the other ladies on the show are reportedly around $400,000 each, which is a lot of money considering they started with measly $15,000 per season. Many consider this to be easy money and an insider put it this way, “It’s four days a week for six months of drinking, going to parties, and bitching.”
Meanwhile, word on the street is that Bravo is looking, once again, for some “new blood” for the show now that Jules Wainstein has announced she will not be returning.
Sources are saying they are even considering the transplant of a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to the show. Yolanda Hadid’s name wasn’t specifically mentioned, but it would make sense with two daughters modeling in the Big Apple and her marriage to David Foster over.
Bravo has denied plans to transfer a housewife from Beverly Hills and says the salaries are inflated.
