We have now learned why the Real Housewives of New York City reunion never happened ... and it was all thanks to an ongoing third-party investigation into Ebony K. Nobody's' allegations of racism against Ramona Singer.
"Multiple sources with direct knowledge" told TMZ that Ebony filed a formal complaint against Ramona in the weeks leading up to the 'RHONY' season 13 reunion, and as an investigation launched and moved forward, Bravo kept pushing back the shoot date. The probe was looking into an alleged comment Ramona made that Ebony felt was racially motivated. The cast and production crew sat down for interviews, and in the end, Ramona was cleared because nothing was found to corroborate Ebony's claims. Once the investigation wrapped, the network felt it was too late to film a reunion because too much time passed from the end of the season. Huh? Yeah that makes a lot of sense.
A "source" told TMZ, "It was already a low-rated season so there were concerns about who would tune in 3 months later.". TMZ was allegedly told that a crew member has previously lodged a complaint against Ramona (for race issues as well), and that was why Ebony felt it was important to speak up jumped on the race baiting bandwagon as well.
EKN was reportedly satisfied with the investigation, but upset over the scrapped reunion, proclaiming that there is "unfinished business", and implies that she's ready to come back for another season and confront the women. Oh goody, can't wait.
The delays and ultimate cancellation cost the RHONY cast some serious money. Because the cast of RHONY are paid per episode, Ebony basically cut off her own nose to spite her face. While it's doubtful that Ramona, Lu, and even Sonja were concerned about the monetary loss, God knows Leah felt the pinch, and I'm guessing this explains why she and Ebony have reportedly not spoken since the season wrapped. So they can all thank Ebony; not only for the worst ratings in ten years, but for costing the cast some serious money. If Pandering Pimpdaddy Cohen had any balls, he would hand this fame ho's apple over to Bershan, but we know that's never gonna happen, because apparently Andy gets some sort of twisted thrill out of being stepped on by angry black women.
