The producers really want to bring back the drink maker

Look for the oft dumped socialite to return for the next season of this Housewives franchise.

The producers really want to bring back the drink maker, but the feud with the racist/host is precluding that, even at a 300% raise.

‘RHONY’ reunion on hold amid low ratings and fan backlash

“The Real Housewives of New York” is getting ready to take a nap in the city that never sleeps.

Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney, Ramona Singer, Eboni K. Williams and Luann de Lesseps were set to film the Season 13 reunion on Aug. 5 but were told that the taping is on hold until at least September amid a decline in ratings, a source confirmed to Page Six on Wednesday.

A source told the Daily Mail that “all hell is breaking loose behind the scenes” of the show right now and, “While the cameras are down, the drama is continuing.”

While “RHONY” typically films in the fall and winter months, a source told the Daily Mail that the women were told that they would not begin filming again until early 2022 — months behind schedule.

Last week’s episode was the lowest-rated one ever, according to the Daily Mail, with 764,000 live viewers.

“Leah and Eboni are not a good fit for this show. #Rhony used to be my favorite franchise. Now all they do is bickering and talking about race. It sucks. I miss the old days with Bethenny or Carol or even f***ing Jill Zarin…,” one fan tweeted.

Another chimed in, “@BravoTV There is a time and a place for discussions of race & racism and, I’m sorry, ‘Real Housewives’ just ain’t one of ‘em. Don’t be dumb; stick to the formula. Keep it fun.” – Source
