[Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2023/01/29/bravos-lost-interest-in-rhony-legacy-as-contract-talks-stall/) reports that Bravo is losing interest in making the *RHONY: Legacy* spinoff show a reality after a dispute with the cast over money.

Apparently, a bump in the road occurred during contract negotiations. One source claims the network low-balled the cast however a production insider says the Housewives believe they should be making around $1 million an episode. As a result, [Bravo](https://allabouttrh.com/2022/04/05/bethenny-frankel-reveals-she-was-asked-to-be-on-bravos-rhony-legacy-spinoff/) has *“lost interest in pursuing the ‘Legacy’ edition.”* While main cast members are usually guaranteed 12 episodes a season on[Real Housewives](https://allabouttrh.com/2022/04/04/carole-radziwill-says-it-would-be-an-epic-fail-if-she-joined-rhony-legacy-plus-luann-de-lesseps-says-she-cant-see-spinoff-show-without-ramona-singer/) however sources say that Bravo is only willing to promise four episodes to each Housewife for the first season of *RHONY: Legacy*. *“It’s not worth it,”* a source close to the cast quipped,* “And it’s insulting. These are the women that have made the show a hit in the first place. They don’t deserve to be nickel-and-dimed.”* Meanwhile, a source close to production insisted, *“They are generous offers but a few of the women now believe they should make what the cast of ‘Friends’ made in their heyday.”* *“The network seems to have just lost interest in pursuing  the ‘Legacy’ edition at this point,”* said a production source, *“It seems producers are more focused on the ‘RHONY’ reboot which we are hearing is fun, funny, and aspirational.”* Various reports have claimed that the shortlist for the *RHONY: Legacy* cast included Sonja Morgan, Luann de Lesseps, [Dorinda Medley](https://allabouttrh.com/2022/10/31/dorinda-medley-belives-ramona-singer-shaded-upcoming-rhony-legacy-in-order-to-protect-herself/), [Jill Zarin](https://allabouttrh.com/2022/05/06/jill-zarin-says-bravo-has-not-called-her-for-rhony-legacy-talks-nene-leakes-lawsuit-against-the-network/), and Kelly Bensimon. Tinsley Mortimer was also being sought after by the network. ## Thoughts on this all?
