Is the highly anticipated Real Housewives of New York City: Legacy dead upon arrival?
According to reports, Bravo has pulled the plug on the RHONY spinoff before filming even began after contract negotiations with the cast stalled over salary demands.
Per Page Six, an email was sent to the cast, which is speculated to consist of Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, and Luann de Lesseps, around 6 p.m. on Monday evening. The email rescinded their contract offers and consequently shelved the show.
Sources close to production told the outlet that Bravo finally realized that Legacy wasn’t “worth it” after the cast declined the network’s “generous” offers. They felt like they weren’t being paid their full value nor securing the number of guaranteed episodes they believed were warranted.
One source told the outlet, “Never say never,” to the show being revisited in the future, but for now, no plans to bring the show to air are currently planned.
But wait for it.
Just as the news broke of Legacy collapsing, executive producer Andy Cohen tweeted out a seemingly contradictory tweet disputing the validity of recent reports.
“Don’t believe everything you read #RHONYLegacy,” he cryptically posted.
