Is Bravo Saying Farewell To One Of Its New York Housewives?
This is truly a case of “reality bites” for NY Housewife Alex McCord and her hubby.
The New York Daily News is reporting that New York Housewife Alex McCord and her flamboyant husband Simon van Kempen may be getting the boot from the Real Housewives of New York. Say it ain’t so!!! Alex may be a bit of a bore, but we absolutely LOVE Simon!!! Watching him shop for pastel shoes, seeing him drop it like it’s hot on the dance floor in red leather pants, and watching him coooooor-dinate his clothes to match his wife’s outfits is always so much fun to watch!
Really, what are the producers of the show thinking?!
From the NY Daily Times:
New Yorkers may finally get a break from the city’s most overexposed “House” husband: We hear that Simon van Kempen and his missus, Alex McCord, aren’t being asked back for Season Four of “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
Rumors of an impending exit for the Brooklynites began swirling just as filming wrapped on Season Three, which begins March 4. Says an insider, “There are a ton of reasons they aren’t being asked back.”
So where do we begin?
“Viewers don’t have a positive reaction to them, so they’re easily replaceable at this point,” the source dishes, although a rep for Bravo insists that “no details have been released about next season” and van Kempen himself says, “We have not had any discussions regarding a fourth season.”
“Also, they don’t really fit in with the other wives,” continues the insider. “All of the other women’s story lines have interwoven, yet Alex and Simon have kept theirs separate. It isn’t nearly as interesting as the other Housewives’.”
Our well-placed snitch says that’s not all: Simon apparently threw a “hissy fit” when he wasn’t paid as well as the other cast members.
“Simon wants to be an equal on the show, but that doesn’t really make any sense to Bravo,” the source says. “After all, he’s not a ‘Real Housewife,’ now is he?”
