The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast will reportedly go into production on its upcoming seventh season next week.
As series friend Britani Bateman, 54, took to her Instagram Story, where she confirmed that, despite rumors of her alleged firing, she would be returning for the new episodes, an online report revealed which of the season six wives, who included Lisa Barlow, 51, Mary Cosby, 53, Heather Gay, 51, Meredith Marks, 54, Whitney Rose, 39, Angie Katsanevas, 52, and Bronwyn Newport, 40, would be back.
“🚨 BREAKING 🚨 I’m hearing production on [RHOSLC] Season 7 will begin *next week*, everybody is back,” Queens of Bravo confirmed on X on February 20, also sharing that a newbie was expected to be added to the cast.
“And they will be joined by a new housewife!” the fan page revealed.
Meanwhile, as seen in a screenshot shared by Bravo Snark Side on Instagram, Britani confirmed her return amid a Q&A with fans on her Story.
“Are you on for next season? I’m so stressed,” someone had written.
“I am,” Britani replied.
In recent weeks, there have been tons of casting news shared in regard to season seven, including a claim that Meredith was leaving the show after turning down a demotion and a rumor suggesting that two cast members could be downgraded to “friend” roles.
More recently, news of an alleged “mega-clause” hit the web.
“Renewal letters have gone out to the RHOSLC ladies for Season 7, and they include a new mega-clause which is non-negotiable for all new and renewing cast,” an insider told The Real Housewives Zone on Instagram. “It’s called the Narrative Integrity Clause. Basically, the cast are not allowed to create, influence, or leak storylines about the show or other cast members off-camera. This includes using third parties as a proxy. Any on-camera discussions about unverified activity will be cut from the final edit, and any verified activity is punishable on a scale that includes financial penalties, loss of screen time, demotion, and firing.”
“[Production] isn’t f**king around,” the source continued. “They’re tired of grasping at straws with this bunch and know they need to regain control. The clause has had a mixed reception amongst the cast, two of them are holding out on renewing, hoping it will push production to cave (they won’t, and they’ve got a shortlist of potential new HWs to backfill spots if needed).”
