An offer is going out to a controversial ex-cast member

Bravo is going into meltdown at the moment with several of their biggest franchises in the need of new cast members.

I’ve got the tea on some of the offers that have gone out.

Bravo badly wants the wife of a controversial A lister for Real Housewives of New York, but they may have to have to settle for a former cast member that is desperate to return. More on that the latter part of that here.

Denise Richards is the top choice for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but a few of the producers doubt that she can bring anything other than publicity and attention; in lieu of drama, an offer is going out to a controversial ex-cast member.
