Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen are about to enter Couples Therapy . Not for real, of course. For VH1. Sources confirm to The Huffington Post that these former Real Housewives of New York City stars will soon embark on another reality TV project with that network. Filming is already underway, with crews following Alex and Simon around the streets of The Big Apple. McCord, Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop all got the axe from Bravo last year, with Alex the first to re-enter the world of television. She and Simon are expected to dish on their time as cast members during this new series, while also sharing details of their lives post- Housewives . We just REALLY hope we don’t hear any more about Van Kempen climaxing during child birth .
Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop have all been let go from The Real Housewives of New York City cast, according to a Bravo source. Rumors about the casting change began last week amid reports that Zarin, McCord and Bensimon were fired from the show. At the time, their reps denied it. Looks like there was obviously some truth to it, sadly. “Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and LuAnn De Lesseps will be returning for Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New York City,” a network spokesperson said . “We’ve had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers. It is a friendly departure among the other ladies.” “We continue to have on-going discussions with them.” Whatever the hell that means. McCord told People: “Of course Simon and I are sad not to continue with RHONY but it’s a friendly decision and discussions with Bravo are ongoing for other projects.” Zarin’s rep said: “Jill is humbled by the extraordinary amount of media interest in her response and looks forward to personally opening up about all of this very soon and announcing some exciting new projects.” Jill was the first to really tease her departure this fall. Bensimon, meanwhile, said through a rep that she was still negotiating her contract. Even if she were to return, it’ll be a new-look RHONY . When Season 5 airs, Countess LuAnn and Ramona will be the only original cast members returning. That leaves a lot of open, snobby slots to fill. To you agree with the decision to fire Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barsho? Sound off in the comments below …
Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord will not be returning to the Real Housewives of New York City for its fifth season, according to a new report. The Huffington Post story, citing sources inside Bravo, claims the trio has been pink-slipped and they were given the news on Thursday. But is it true? Bravo has not officially commented. A rep for Zarin said, “Jill is still in discussions with Bravo for season 5 and no final decisions have been made.” Just recently, Zarin implied she would be back, so it’s unclear what to believe. Bensimon’s rep said no immediate casting decisions have been made. McCord Tweeted , “Speaking for myself only, there is no decision yet whether I’m in or out of #RHONY. Nothing’s finalized, though I’d like to do another year.” If those three were bounced, Ramona Singer and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps would be the only remaining original cast members on the reality show. Sonja Morgan and Cindy Barshop joined later. What do you think? Would you like to see all or none of these NYC Housewives back next season?
