This article is from the New York Post Page 6, so take it with a grain of salt. The “sources say” has Jill Zarin written all over it, , as Rob Schuler has stated pretty much the same thing on Huffington Post.
Seems Bravo doesn’t want these women telling tales from production, which we know they will do if cut.
The Russell Armstrong suicide may have been a lucky break for them
From the New York Post
In the wake of the maelstrom surrounding the death of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Taylor Armstrong’s husband, Bravo has rethought recasting its New York version of the franchise, sources say. Bravo had been angling to energize the New York show by casting more beautiful “downtown types.” “They cast a wide net,” said a source. “They looked at over 30 women, and narrowed it to three [new cast members].” But after the Armstrong tragedy, Bravo delayed production and decided not to shake things up. Sources say the network is also concerned about telling the old cast they’ve been axed. “The last thing they need right now are more surprises,” a source said. “The first one to get axed is going to write a book, and these girls know the secrets of production. The show’s still working on some level, even if Bravo is tired of the story lines.” A Bravo rep said, “Production was pushed, as we are finalizing some details for the new season. The cast will be notified once shooting is about to commence.”

It is inconceivable that they dont have ND clauses in their contracts. If this were true, some lawyers/law firms are fired!
Good Lord will that woman ever go away? Jill is the very reason that I refuse to watch these shows any more. Her vile behavior to Bethenny and just about everyone she come in contact with is too much to take. And Lulu is no innocent in any of this either. When Bethenny called her a snake, no truer words were spoken.
If Bravo is smart they will dump everyone but Sonja, Ramona & Alex. Only then will I consider watching again. But if they keep J & Lu, forget it.
God I wish for the day that I never have to hear the name Jill Zarin again!
I agree….Wouldnt you think that Jeana (especially since OC was based on her life, wasnt it?) or Danielle would’ve attempted to do a tell all?….I’m betting Jill is putting plants thinking she is going to scare someone….
I don’t believe anything Rob says. I am sure that Bravo has it in the contracts that these women sign that under no circumstances, can they write a “tell all” book. There is a reason for “no compete”clauses in contracts and I’m positive something like a television show would have that in there. If not, we would have seen a lot of tell all books by now. Seems to be Jill planting MORE stories just to keep her name relevant.
