No need to get Ramotional: The Real Housewives of New York City is back in full-swing and despite recent reports, everybody (who hasn't announced they're leaving the show) will return, including Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Bethenny Frankel and Dorinda Medley.RELATED: Sonja Morgan Confirms Wanting More Money: Bethenny Films ‘RHONY’ [Pictures]
A source told us filming has begun on season eight of the Bravo reality series. Page Six reported Sonja, Ramona and Luann were going to go to pay per scene for their roles, but our source told us everyone is happy with their contracts. E! News has also learned a new cast member, Juliana Weinstein, has also started filming. Another source confirmed veteran cast members were stalled in negotiations, so the other newer cast members got a jump on filming. And don't fret, Bethenny is definitely bringing it. Our source said she's not holding back and is already calling people out on their stuff.
These rumors are nothing new. Countess Luann was demoted from full-time Housewife to "friend" back in season six, yet she still had quite a presence before moving back to a full-time Housewife in season seven. Plus rumors about Ramona having a recurring status with the show also circulated back before season seven started, but she still had quite a lot of screen time last season.
Both Ramona and Luann are original cast members. Sonja joined the show during season three.
Heather Thomson and Kristen Taekman are not returning to RHONY. Kristen told E! News she was going to focus on her business ventures. "My experience during my time on RHONY was fantastic and I made some great new friends," Kristen told E! News in a statement. "At this time in my life, I have decided to concentrate on my family and my new business ventures Pop Of Color nail polish and Last Night's Look, my fashion blog. I will remain a Housewife and part of an amazing franchise forever and that is what is important."
