'Vanderpump Rules' News: Cast Demanded More Money & Better Plane Seats From Bravo? [VIDEO]
The stars of Vanderpump Rules recently demanded Bravo raise their pay.
Although the Vanderpump Rules cast is pulling in big numbers when it comes to ratings, a new report claims the group hasn't been paid very well for their time in front of Bravo cameras. In turn, they reportedly requested the network give them a raise and upgrade their future plane seats.
According to a TMZ report on Thursday, the cast of Vanderpump Rules "only made $5K for the WHOLE first season -- but when ratings soared they all went looking for raises."

Throughout season two of the show, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff impressed critics and fans when it surpassed the ratings of its mother show. However, Bravo allegedly didn't bother rewarding the cast with a raise. Instead, the network left it up to the men and women of the show.
"Bravo budged on the cheddar ... handing them each roughly $3K/episode for Season 2, and $5K/episode for Season 3, but while [Vanderpump]'s sipping free booze in first -- everyone else will still be in the pretzel and peanut set. They're stuck in coach," the site explained.
As for why the cast wasn't able to convince Bravo to fly them first class, TMZ claimed execs didn't want them "losing that working class charm."
Vanderpump Rules season three airs on Monday nights at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
