‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Season 5 Cast: Lisa Vanderpump ‘On Fence’ To Sign On As Others Hold Out For More Money? [VIDEO]
More drama for Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in! After news that Bravo had fired Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia went viral this week, rumors have emerged that the remaining veteran reality TV stars are holding out for more money.
Why Lisa Vanderpump Met With Andy Cohen
On May 30th, TMZ reported that Bravo has asked back five of the ladies, but that the women haven't signed on the dotted line, yet. Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Brandi Glanville, Yolanda Foster and Lisa Vanderpump have all been asked back for Season 5. Sources told the site, "zero have agreed to come back."
Why? "Lisa has made it very clear she's on the fence about renewing her contract for personal reasons, but we're told the other women are, more predictably, holding out for fatter paychecks."
Carlton Gebbia Calls Firing A 'Blessing'
Vanderpump reportedly is concerned about coming back for another season of RHOBH after feeling "bullied" by her fellow housewives during Season 4. So much so, that over Memorial Day weekend, Bravo honcho Andy Cohen took a trip to Los Angeles to speak to Vanderpump at her new restaurant PUMP with her good friend Lance Bass.
"I have got a lot going on," Vanderpump told Radar Online after the season 4 finale of RHOBH had aired in March. "If it becomes about a b---- fest then it is not something I signed up for; but if it becomes about documenting my life, which is the show I signed up for and having fun and supporting women that is something I want to do. But the way the show was in the end, the last episodes, that is not something I would care to repeat."
Meanwhile the other women, including original housewives Kyle and Kim Richards are out for more money.
With Gebbia and Giraud out after only one season of RHOBH, who could replace them? TMZ reported that Bravo is looking at Foster's ex-husband Mohamed Hadid's new fiancée Shiva Safai.
