Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter Leaving RHOC? EXCLUSIVE

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Shannon Beador has been fired, Vicki Gunvalson has been rehired as a full real housewife, Gina Kirschenheiter has been let go, and Kelly Dodd remains uncertain? These are among the latest massive reports swirling this RHOC Holiday season. But LALATE can exclusives report that, while no casting decisions have yet been made, production is reportedly loving of casting rumors this winter. Unlike any prior season, there is a whole list of strong contenders to replace any RHOC cast member who contends their orange is so secure for next season that they need a raise.

First, has Shannon Beador been fired? Of all the wild rumors circulating this week, this is among the most repeated. LALATE can report that no decision has yet been made about Beador. However, LALATE can also report two items about Beador’s future are apparent.

First, RHOC was reportedly not happy about Beador’s bowl-hit event. While Beador and her doctor claimed she was injured, viewers did not buy it.

Second, viewers are not appraised of what happened behind the scenes with Shannon, her injuries, and how production handled her head and eye claims. But RHOC has a longstanding history of cast members exiting after on-set injuries that season (including Heather Dubrow after the Glamis injury). “You don’t complaint when on set. If you do, you are let go”, a source has told LALATE.

Third, Beador’s pay scale is getting rich. Beador before this season bragged about her tenure on the show. That tenure delivers a higher PayScale. But the network might not be interested in paying Beador’s PayScale going forward. “Shannon didn’t help her casting future by telling Andy Cohen on WWHL recently that she is not planning to get engaged soon. Bravo loves engagements.”

Next, is Vicki Gunvalson returning full time? LALATE reported at the start of the season she would be back full time next season. However, re-hiring Vicki is expensive, with a salary in excess of $800,000 purportedly per season.

Third, Gina Kirschenheiter might be let go. Hired at $65,000 per season with a roughly 8% or more pay raise per season, Gina could be ready for a $100,000 third season salary. But the network might not think Gina Kirschenheiter’s storyline is worth six figures.

Finally, Kelly Dodd’s future was uncertain at the beginning of the season, LALATE had then reported. But as of now, Dodd, Burke, Judge, and Gunvalson seem likely to be returning next season with Gina and Beador potentially on the chopping block.
