The Real Housewives of New York City

Bethenny Frankel is single.

But is she ready to mingle once again with the program that made her famous?

Late last year, rumors were swirling that Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon were getting engaged.

A lot of fans loved their romance. But all good things must come to an end.

For the first time, Dorinda Medley is confirming being fired by Bravo.

It's a shame, too, she says -- because she'd been hoping for a redemption arc.

Eboni Williams is officially holding an apple.

And making history in the process.

Weeks ago, we reported that Leah McSweeney was coming back to RHONY ... as soon as she finished her negotiations with Bravo.

She finished, she's in, and she landed herself a massive raise.

The Real Housewives of New York City are returning for a new season...

...  at some point.

Almost as soon as news dropped that she had "quit," it was reported that Dorinda Medley was fired from RHONY.

Now, a new report explains why Bravo had to cut her loose.

This much we know to be true:

Dorinda Medley is outta there.

It's the end of an era at Bravo.

After five years as a certified fan favorite, Dorinda Medley announced today that she's stepping down from her role as one of the Real Housewives of New York City.

Sonja Morgan is here to end all the speculation.

And also to give us a look at how she spends some of her massive paycheck.

Leah McSweeney is not finished with Ramona Singer, folks.

Not by a long shot.

It is pretty safe to say that Tinsley Mortimer has been short on friends this season. But that was only one factor in her decision.

She is leaving New York and The Real Housewives thereof for Chicago.

Leah McSweeney is not merely a cast member on The Real Housewives of New York in name only.

She's also here to keep it real.

As much as viewers have enjoyed Dorinda Medley's explosive drama on The Real Housewives of New York City, she's only human.

Watching her grief play out on screen is hard for her, and Dorinda admits that she recently reevaluated her entire life.

Last week, The Real Housewives of New York City went wild touring a mansion. That, it turns out, was nothing.

This week, the Housewives partied hard at Ramona's house ... and ended up totally trashing the place. That is not where vibrators go!
