Hopefully, this is the last time I have to talk about this departure.
Yesterday I wrote an article about the "TRUTH" behind Denise Richards' exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills which included quotes from Andy Cohen admitting the network was in negotiations with her to return, while other outlets reported Denise left on her own accord.
After combining all the different sources I came to the conclusion that Denise was obviously in negotiations with the show, asked for more money, and when they said no her PR team leaked stories claiming it was her decision to leave. Well, now there's a new source claiming just that. See, I'm always right.
According to Page Six, a Bravo insider confessed that the actress turned reality star demanded an "excessive" amount of money to return and Bravo refused to give her what she wanted.
Rumor has it that Denise was getting $1 million a season, so I can't imagine how much money she was asking for. The source added that Bravo executives “negotiated a lot” with Denise.
I love Denise fucking Richards but she sent them a cease and desist which fucked up the production of the reunion and didn't really want to engage with the group, even before the Brandi Glanville drama, so she must've been delusional to think Bravo would pay her even more money than they already are. The source revealed:
“People think that she didn’t want to come back and that it’s because she got ‘mean-girled’ [by other cast members]. The truth is she did want to come back. But [Bravo] didn’t want to pay her what she asked for. It was way out of her pay grade. She would happily have come back, but for a huge price.”
While this is what the Bravo source told Page Six, her camp claimed that Bravo called her last week asking if she wanted to return and after a few days to think about it she decided to quit the show.
I don't even know why Denise's team is trying to save face by leaking stories to the press saying she quit when Andy literally admitted they were in negotiations...
Well now we know why Denise won't be back, depending on whose side you want to believe, but I truly feel that if she didn't send out those cease and desists Bravo would've been a little more generous with their purse strings.
