The season 13 meeting of Real Housewives Of New York is ON

The season 13 reunion of the real New York City housewives is in the process of being scheduled, several program experts reported exclusively to DailyMail.com.

Insiders revealed that the cast members are not in terms of speech, so producer Shed had to work hard to get all the women to agree to meet.

“Ramona went to dinner with Eboni to make peace and LuAnn had to be persuaded to answer her phone while living her best life in Europe, but we are doing it.”

Sources added that although the meeting will be filmed in late September or early October, creator and executive producer Andy Cohen and the Bravo network are delaying production next season in hopes of giving more time to the network the opportunity to “reinvent the program.” “

“Our last episode aired this Tuesday and nothing had been scheduled, but now we believe women are in a better place to hold the conversations they need to have.

Adding: “The division had been so deep between the cast that we were concerned that it was an absolute landfill fire that would seem horrible to each of the women and the network.”

A program source told DailyMail.com: “I think this works well for the cast as they are paid per episode.

“By holding a meeting, the newest cast will earn more than $ 10,000, while the OGs will get more than six figures.

DailyMail.com previously broke the news that the season 13 meeting was being postponed from the original release date of August 5 amid the turmoil in the cast.

“It breaks my heart to think that our big show has become a place where it’s so divided and it’s no longer fun,” a source said.

“It ended up being more dramatic in the press and on social media than there was on the show,” the informant continued.

The ratings of the Bravo franchise made a splash this season as viewers continued to tune in week after week, leaving Bravo and production company Shed media struggling with how to save the show.

“After the meeting, the show will be paused while the producer and network find out how they can renew it for next season by making it look like this season doesn’t exist,” the sources said.

Bravo’s Andy Cohen and Shari Levine know what they’re doing. With a slight pause, the noise can be reduced, they can reinvent the show, bring it back and make it fun again, ”he continued.

Several sources on the show have told DailyMail.com why they believe viewers were so turned off this season.

“Four things made this season a challenge,” a production source explained.

“Bravo and the production made a terrible decision by letting go of both Dorinda and Tinsley, the cast was too small without enough plots to hold a season, New York was at the center of COVID when filming began, so it was a nightmare to film anywhere and show the city, and Eboni’s constant preaching on the show and then the destruction of the show in the press left a terrible taste in the mouths of his cast and especially the viewers .

“Never in a million years did I think RHONY would wake up, but yes and it has cost them a lot,” the source added.

Season 13 went from Dorinda Medley, the fan favorite, as well as Tinsley Mortimer, and featured Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney and newcomer Eboni K. Williams.

This season, the show Bravo recorded the lowest episode of all time, with only 764,000 live viewers. (The only episodes ranked lowest were the “secret” recap episodes of season seven and season 12.)

Williams, the first black housewife in franchise history, has had her head with the Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps shows throughout the season.

Some have accused Fox News’ lawyer and host of being “too awake” and attributed his serious stories about racial relations to being at least partly responsible for the falling ratings.

Others, however, have praised Williams for not being afraid to have tough conversations and have called on Ramona for her sometimes blatant ignorance of cultural issues such as racism.

Regardless, the tone is a way out for the once deliciously absurd show, which featured people like Aviva Drescher throwing her prosthetic leg around the room or Leah McSweeny throwing naked tiki torches at the Hamptons.

“Our viewers don’t want to receive lectures. They want a fun show: middle-aged, suggestive women, with money fighting for small things. Yes, we talk about the major problems our nation faces, but this can’t be the center of our program, “a source told DailyMail.com

“It’s not our show, but week after week, scene after scene, everyone is being schooled by a former Fox News presenter.”

The Real Housewives of New York premiered in 2008 with Bethenny Frankel, Luann de Lesseps, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin. It was the second installment of the Real Housewives franchise after the original, Orange County.
