Bravo Puts 'Real Housewives Of New York City' On Indefinite Pause But 'Hopes' It Will Return
It's a sad day for Bravo fans, as the network has announced its plans to put "The Real Housewives of New York" on an indefinite pause. The news about the beloved iteration, which first aired on Bravo in 2008 and featured stars like Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer, arrived days after NBC Universal (Bravo's parent company) shared its plans to expand the "Real Housewives" series with a new city. According to a new report from Page Six, sources close to Bravo and "RHONY" producers have said the network is placing the series on an indefinite pause after 15 seasons on the air. However, it may not be the end of the show in the Big Apple. Page Six also confirmed that Bravo "hopes" the show will return in the future. "We're trying to figure that show out," an insider said. "We want to figure it out. We think there's still life in it." The news about the "RHONY" hiatus isn't the first time the network has halted the New York-based show. After season 13, which featured Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney, and newcomer Eboni K. Williams, Bravo canceled the reunion before saying they were at a "crossroads" regarding how to move the series forward. Months later, Andy Cohen shared that they were starting from scratch and hosting a "major casting search" across the city in hopes of breathing new life into the wildly popular version of the show. "And when you start from scratch, Beverly Hills was a really successful season 1 cast, Jersey was a really successful Season 1 cast, Salt Lake City was a really successful season 1 cast. Those were people who were in each other's lives, who knew each other, who were relatives. That's one of the things that is going to be fun about this. Because when we find people that we love, we can say, 'Who are your friends? Who else is in your life?'" he said. "I think it will be the rainbow that is New York City. That's the goal," he added. Loyal Bravo fans and "RHONY" defenders have already begun reacting to the news online, with one watcher saying they'd "never forgive Bravo for ruining their best franchise." Another viewer slammed the network for the "disrespect" they've shown the "RHONY OGs who built the franchise." "The OG RHONY was a wild, beautiful ride [and] truly iconic," a third fan posted. "I loved it deeply. The reboot had its moments, but let's be real, it didn't hit the same. I've already mourned the OG loss, but Bravo saying it's really over? I'm not okay." Although disappointing for some, Bravo's move to pause "RHONY" indefinitely may not be the end for the over-the-top production. In 2021, eight years after Bravo paused "The Real Housewives of Miami," the network announced its plans to reboot the show on its streaming app, Peacock. Cohen said in 2020 that he'd been a big "advocate for Peacock bringing back Miami." The revived cast includes returners Alexia Nepola, Lisa Hochstein, and Larsa Pippen, as well as newcomers Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, and Dr. Nicole Martin. It's also not lost on fans that the "RHONY" announcement came days after Bravo shared its plans to launch a new iteration of the "Real Housewives" franchise in Rhode Island. According to the press release, the series will follow a "tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations." "With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there's no escaping your past … or each other," it continued. But that's not the only new series joining the Bravo family. The cable service also shared three other shows that will hit the air, including a "Ladies of London" reboot, which will feature "British blue bloods, ambitious American expats, and glamorous international socialites," a "Valley" spin-off, starring Reza Farahan and MJ Javid, and a "Wife Swap" series featuring "Real Housewives."

Bethenny Frankel slams Teresa Giudice for being in ‘another marriage with financial legal issues'
More money, more problems. Bethenny Frankel slammed Teresa Giudice for being in 'another marriage with financial legal issues' amid her union with Luis 'Louie' Ruelas. 'I cannot believe that Teresa is in another marriage with financial legal issues,' the former 'The Real Housewives of New York' star said in a TikTok video Monday. 'I have to pull when I tweeted, 'If Teresa Giudice does not sign a prenup, I will jump through my phone.' I remember — and this was picked up everywhere,' she added. Frankel, 54, said watching the 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star's financial issues play out is like 'watching a movie' and 'you're like, 'No! Do not open that closet!'' 'I feel terrible but, like, fool me once, you're a fool, fool me twice, I'm a fool. … There's never been a worse picker in the history of pickers than myself besides Teresa,' she said. Frankel, who was previously married to Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997 and Jason Hoppy from 2010 to 2021, said 'she still wins' because she was '10 years on a two-year marriage' and didn't 'go to the clink.' 'Also, why would you both go on TV? Like, there's something wrong with someone who goes on TV knowing that you have a dead body in your trunk. It's almost like it's being made up, like it's unfathomable. It doesn't make any sense,' the former reality TV star concluded. Frankel captioned her post, 'OMG no say this is not so #teresaguidice #rhonj #bravo #andy #noooo.' The Skinny Girl CEO and founder's comments come after news surfaced that Giudice and her husband, Ruelas, reportedly owe $3 million in back taxes.

After Joe, 52, served nearly two years in prison, he was deported to his birthplace, Italy, in 2019.
