'Real Housewives of New York' Season 6 Cast: LuAnn De Lesseps Signing Delayed Due to Salary Conflict?
LuAnn de Lesseps is still involved in a Real Housewives Of New York City salary dispute, reportedly making her one of the show's stars not signed on yet to return for season six.
De Lesseps refused to sign a deal that would keep her on the reality series due to her request for more pay, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Fellow cast member Aviva Drescher was originally with her in the fight, but she has since given in.
Production is already under way for the new season and Drescher confirmed via Twitter on May 23 that she has signed a contract to return on the show. The pair were the only two of the six cast members to decline original offers when negotiations delayed production earlier in May. Sonja Morgan, Heather Thomson and Ramona Singer all came aboard May 9 after a week-long standoff with Bravo executives over what a source close to the cast called "unacceptable" salary offers.
Carol Radziwill tweeted on May 10, "I still haven't decided. Payscale is ridix + it irks me to be given ultimatums." However, a Bravo spokesperson confirmed two days later that she will in fact return to the show.
In season five, de Lesseps and Singer were the only original cast members remaining on The Real Housewives of New York City. The show first aired in 2008.
