Bravo has reportedly decided to cancel RHONY Legacy because the ladies could not agree on pay.
RHONY was going to be rebranded as “Legacy,” with old cast members while a new lineup of the show would also air on the network.
Original cast members, including de Luann Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Dorinda Medley were rumored to be taking part in Legacy.
Sources told Page Six the talent felt they were getting lowball offers from Bravo, and that the network wasn’t willing to guarantee that they would appear in enough episodes per season.
“It’s not worth it,” a source told Page Six. “And it’s insulting. These are women who have made the show a hit in the first place. They don’t deserve to be nickel-and-dimed.”
“The network seems to have just lost interest in pursuing the ‘Legacy’ edition at this point,” said another production source. “It seems producers are more focused on the ‘RHONY’ reboot, which we are hearing is fun, funny, and aspirational.”
