Michaele Salahi Not Returning To 'Real Housewives Of D.C."?

Oneindia.com:

Michaele Salahi won’t return as a star on ‘Real Housewives of D.C,’ according to sources. A source has revealed that Salahi won't repeat as a star to the show if it is renewed for a second season. Half Yard Productions, a Bravo subcontractor, is hunting for a 'bitchy' replacement for the housewife.


Bravo reps are annoyed with the duo for saying the network has held them back from coming clean. "The notion that the Salahis have been barred under their contracts . . . from speaking . . . is simply not true," the New York Post quoted Bravo as saying.


Castmates aren't thrilled with Michaele either. Lynda Erkiletian and Paul Wharton complained to friends at Peacock Cafe in Georgetown last week about the couple's publicity stunts.

If this is true then it'd be a bad move by Bravo. I don't care how annoying and publicity-driven the Salahi's are, without them RHODC would be a total snoozefest. Sure Bravo could find a replacement, but I don't see them not wanting a piece of the Salahi brand considering how great they are at making themselves part of the news in some, way, shape or form. Besides Bravo execs had to have some idea of what they were getting themselves into when they signed up Michaele and Tareq in the first place.
