According to OK! this RHONY reunion special has been “canceled," following rumors Ramona is being fired.
A source told the outlet: “Ramona has pulled out of taping the reunion special that was scheduled for the first week of August.
“Andy [Cohen] is freaking out, and there is even talk of legal action as Ramona is in breach of contract.”
The insider went on: “Ramona is sick of all the race talk. She knows she’s going to be destroyed at the reunion and isn’t willing to go through with it if she’s already out. This is why Bravo didn’t want the news about Ramona getting out until after they taped the reunion.”
The insider added: “All the other ladies have been told the taping has been postponed but not given a new date...
"Ratings have hit an all-time low. Bravo gambled by making this season about race hoping it would bring in a new audience. That didn’t happen but rather the old audience left.”
Last week's episode saw Ramona tell the series' first Black cast member, Eboni K. Williams, she doesn't understand her feelings of “suffering.”
She said: “You’re living a great life, I don’t understand. I want to live your life … I want your life, b*tch. It’s real good.”
In an earlier episode, Ramona called one of her house staff in the Hamptons “the help.” Eboni later shared the comment was “triggering” for her.
Eboni admitted in a confessional: “At this point with Ramona I’m seeing some things I like — very welcoming, opened her home to me, invited me on this trip. And then I’m seeing some things I don’t really like so much. Calling the lovely Michelle, who’s there to help her, the ‘help.' So the jury’s still out on Ramona.”
Earlier this week, RadarOnline reported Ramona has not been "invited back to the next season of the show."
Although she has been faithful to the show since "day one," a source revealed that 'her time is up.'
The insider continued: “Ramona will not be invited back to the next season of the show, which is currently not in production for a couple of reasons. One, she is too expensive. She is the only lady that has been on the show from day one. And her salary reflects it."
The inside source added: “Plus, the basic premise of the show doesn’t work anymore. A bunch of older white women behaving badly was fun a decade ago but not today."
The insider concluded: "The world has changed and if the show wants to survive another decade it must change too and that starts with the cast.”
