Cast Shake-up!
When The Real Housewives of New York City returns to Bravo for season 14, it will be minus the usual familiar faces. On March 23, executive producer Andy Cohen announced that there would be a total cast overhaul — and an insider says Ramona Singer, 65, isn’t pleased with the snub. “She thought she’d be a Housewife until the show was canceled,” the insider dishes. “Her entire life revolved around [it].
She’s acting fine in public, but behind the scenes, she’s inconsolable.” While producers want to start fresh with a more diverse cast, there are also plans for a few old favorites to return for a new throwback series. Luann de Lesseps, 56, “is in talks to star on the new Housewives ‘Legacy’ show,” shares the insider, with a source adding that execs want the “old-school cast” for that. “Their salaries will be less, but what else are they going to do?”
