Who's Out at 'Housewives'? Alex McCord Responds to New Report, Cindy Barshop Reportedly Not Returning


Popeater.com:
Holy catfight! The 'Real Housewives of New York' reunion special was taped last Wednesday at Capital in NYC and it was full of tears, laughter and betrayal but nothing was as interesting as one Real Housewife talking about the show in the past tense. "Cindy [Barshop] barely spoke at the taping," a cast member tells me, "And when she did talk about her time on the show it was in the past tense. She is definitely not coming back."


Also buzzing around today is a new report by HollywoodLife that in addition to Cindy, original housewife Alex McCord will also not be around for a fifth season, but in an exclusive statement to PopEater, Alex rebuffs such claims.


"If I had a dollar every time an 'inside source,' i.e. a cast member, leaked a 'story' that I was out of RHONY, I'd be a multi-millionairess!" Alex wrote to me.


A spokesperson for Bravo released a statement, telling me "No decisions have been made regarding next season and everything at this point is rumor."


The tradition of the 'Real Housewives' coming together at the end of each season to tape a reunion show has delivered HUGE ratings for Bravo. So much so that these tapings are often edited into at least two hours of TV and have recently even provided footage for a third.


"They started taping at 9:00 a.m. and didn't finish until well past 7," an insider tells me. "The first few hours where everyone is on message is always thrown away and replaced by the more juicy stuff that occurs later in the day when everyone's getting tired and letting down their guard. This year Ramona and Jill go at it."


After the taping, Ramona tweeted that it had been a wild day and that she "survived the reunion." The next day Alex McCord agreed, tweeting, "Intense day of filming yesterday for Real Housewives of New York." However, Jill Zarin, surprisingly seemed to have a great time, sharing, "OMG what a day," late Wednesday night.
God, I hope Cindy doesn't come back, talk abut useless.

  1. Cindy acted like she was above everyone else on the show. I wondered why she came on there in the first place.

  2. Cindy seems incredibly dumb, a real dolt. And who accepts an invitation to go to someone's house for a meal and then takes a phone call and asks the hostess to "keep it down" while she's on the phone? I have been anti-Cindy since the very beginning after 1) seeing the critical way she spoke down to the father of her twins and 2) watching the exchange with her brother in her kitchen where in one breath she hammered him for talking too much and then in the next breath she interrupted him repeatedly and shut him down from every sentence he was trying to say. He saw the irony and hipocracy instantly and the look on his face was priceless. Cindy is a boring, one-dimensional, self-absorbed bitch. Any man who pairs up with her is going to be harangued to DEATH.
