I’ve been researching a couple of stories surrounding the Bravo TV Real Housewives franchise, today I had the great fortune to be transferred up the Bravo corporate ladder and got to speak to an executive at the tippy tippy top. It doesn’t get any better than this!
What am I researching? The many recent public claims by individuals shouting from the rooftop that they’re associated with certain Housewife franchises. I decided in was in the best interest of the viewing public to go straight to the source. Little did I know, the information I was seeking answers to would elicit the interest of top Bravo executives.
Below are some of the more interesting answers I received to some of my questions.
“Bravo is not in the business of being extorted for content by desperate people.”
“The casting and contracts for that franchise were completed over two months ago for everyone with the exception of one person who had other opportunities. I can unequivocally say; once contracts are put to bed there are no mid-filming negotiations.”
“That particular person was never contracted for anything more than an unpaid person of interest. Meaning we were interested in them as a possible cast member, whether it be as a friend of a Housewife or as an actual Housewife. At this time, Bravo has no intention of pursuing further relationships with them beyond what’s in place at the moment.”
“Everyone present during filming not only signs a release, but they also sign a confidentiality agreement. Due to a number of leaks, we’re investigating who is leaking information, pictures and video, there is a possibility we may call breach of contact on those involved.”
During our call the executive kept prying in an attempt to find out where or from whom I was obtaining my inside information.
Look for my full exposé in the future, I’ll be naming franchises and names.
In the meantime I look forward to reading your comments as to whom and what franchise you think these quotes are attributed.

Whoa what did I miss. This sounds juicy and I can’t wait to hear the details.
Has to be New Jersey! It’s always New Jersey. There are more casting rumors related to that show than all the others put together. Plus, leaks and pictures…I wouldn’t put it past any of the Jersey women.
I’m thinking it might be the RHONJ and it’s Danielle Staub. I keep hearing rumors that she will be making appearances on the next season.
Jennifer Dalton RHONY. she described herself as a new cast member on her twitter profile back in September.
Er, I meant NJ.
This has to be Real Housewives of New Jersey, and the person leaking information HAS to be Penny. Her and her husband are desperate to be on the show. It’s really pathetic.
Wow talk about a juicy teaser, hope you have your story ready for release soon. I agree with everybody else who suspect NJ and I would put the leaks behind the Manzo clan. Of course for Beverly Hills, I have always believed that Adrienne Maloof or her chief tool Bernie were behind those leaks.
Ed,
You seem like a nice guy. I saw you said that you had 3 other business partners with this site? aLot of people to put at stake. There are always people out there who are trying to make it look like they are apart of all Bravo Franchises. It’s dumb.
I am just going to say this and give you advice. You can say I’m a spammer which I am not!
Don’t get involved in these housewife blog wars. You may say you are not, but you are. Be nuetral. Be the go to person who doesn’t take sides.
The person you chat with on twitter, [REMOVED] this is the [REMOVED] http://www.REMOVED.com find out what his 9 inch black knight stick is and don’t be fooled by the boobs. Google [REMOVED] as well.
Jewish LMAO maybe in a previous life.
If you are wondering why I didn’t use a valid email, last time I commented on a blog using my email, I got harassed, threatened, told my email was going to used and send to places where I would be put on a Spam List that sends out 5000 spam mail daily. Guess what? It happened.
Thank you for your concern.

I see that you removed the names. That is your right, this is your site. I just hope you did the research.
I’m well aware of everything you’ve posted. Again thanks for your concern.

I see the artist formerly known as [REMOVED] tried to warn you! Lol, obvious much?
Sgwaid I am not hole! Nor am I associated with hole.
Since you went there and the comment is posted; I happen to think that hole/Faux and Queenz blogs both are one sided and bias! Hole/Faux does post mainly public record information about the Laurita situation and Melissa; at least it’s true, but it’s a bias blog. It’s not as offending as Queenz blog is and the name calling. Queenz blog is down right vulgar as she is on twitter. I do find hole’s twitter name offensive. Neither of them, in my opinion are doing any justice for the people they are attempting too. I know that Faux is a friend of who this site is talking about in this post; just as I know where Queenz gets her tea from. The tea might not come directly from them two sisters or the two who this post refers too; but I can bet my bottom dollar the communication is coming from the both parties I just mentioned.
Queenz tweets passive aggressively things to people; once they respond, she deletes her offending tweet and calls the person a bigot and blogs about it. Do you know how many posts she has been forced to take down and or edit? That is what happens when you use W-Press as a host. If you disagree with Queenz on her blog, watch out. She will announce the I.P. address by replying to the person. She only removed most of the comments because she was forced too by W-Press. When anyone comments about her illegal lifestyle that person then is labeled a homophobic. I do find Faux’s twitter handle offensive as well!
That is their right to tweet or blog about whatever they want. It’s their blogs, just as it is T.V.F.B. I know that; I was merely giving T.V.F.B a heads up. T.V.F.B. often replies to comments such as:
“We here at TvFishBowl strive..”
I just do not want to see this site wrapped up in this RHNJ blog war garbage. So many people are tired of the bias blogs. If T.V.F.B. were just posting on RHNJ and Bravo shows; I would not say a word! It seems to me they are trying to be more on the lines of TMZ, E! and dare I say Radaronline. With their own, twist of course. No, I am saying they are copying; just using as a comparison. I have seen so many sites go down for being bias or thinking they are outing people; to only be labeled as snitches and a blog that cannot be trusted. And no, I am not accusing this site of that.
However, I do think if T.V.F.B. reveals whom they talked to this Bravo people or person about; no one will trust them!
We all know who it is. They did this crap last season. Told everyone they signed a contract; which they did but it was not a full time contract. Then you had the M sisters saying they were liars; both were going back and forth in a twitter war. Then when someone told the M sisters to shut it; both sides made harassing twitter accounts calling each other liars and names. Twitter High School. I love Facebook!
As far as the contracts; it is a broad term. Technically, yes they were right; they signed a contract, but what type of contract was it? You decide. We all saw the results last season and were made fools of their own doing. They swore up and down that they had a contract for season 4. They were on for a 2 scenes. 1 second for both scenes. If I remember right; Bravo covered their self to show the wife; they showed the back of her head. The only reason M sisters got screen time; it’s my belief because of Melissa is a housewife. They leaked information just as the two did . They complained they weren’t on for as much as they filmed. Sounds familiar.
Bravo requires many people to sign a non-disclosure confidentiality agreement. It doesn’t matter if you are friends; or friend of the housewife who will make frequent appearances, same with family to the help. If they film at restaurant or an event, anyone who attends must also sign a non-disclosure confidentiality agreement. I will be fair here to say I don’t doubt that these two didn’t get what they were promised. It must suck for them since they helped and found the cast for them. Production did go to the salon scouting. There was favoritism going on among the production. I can direct you to a post to prove that.
*Raises Hand* I want to see the post.
Since I think I know who TVFB is talking about I guess for professional reasons I would just let it rest but it sure would make a juicy mouth watering story.
You tease TVF!
Nice diatribe. Forgive me for confusing you with another asshat. Say what you will but I have never seen QOM be anything but nice to people who are nice to her and honest to a fault. She has never deleted tweets or done what you accuse her of. I think you’re obsessed. Must be hard wanting to be her and not coming close!
I don’t think it was a diatribe or the person is obsessed. You accused the person of an identity so the person gave his or her opinion of both people.
I think the person hit a homerun on exactly why it’s not a good idea to have a large blog to focus on so many shows and prove what asshats some fame seekers are. That’s just my opinion, that is what I got out of it.
Sad to see so many people be divided because of housewives. lol that’s just me.
Too long. Didn’t read.
The Non Disclosure I guess was a contract to them.
Well Ed, I guess it’s obvious why someone who has a very um, vivid imagination apologized to you! These kids and their blogs and Twitters….it’s almost always obvious when people are lying and making stuff up. Maybe not at first, but eventually. I’ll never understand why or how people believe it! These people are a joke and as you can see, bravo laughs at them and wants to kill then at the same time! Poor guy who dated Melissa just got outed and is getting tweeted to death. You know these ladies blow up poor Andy’s phone about this stuff. No one will get the end result they want-crazy tweeters will still be crazy, bloggers will make up Kennedy assassination level theories and someone or someone’s won’t live out their dreams if c list stardom-but I’d love to see common sense rule!
If you’re going to post here, I’ll thank you to stop using my name, pick a name and stick with it.
I never posted here befor and the name was supposed to be a joke…I will change it though. Sorry!
I have read bits and pieces of rumors about this for months can’t wait to hear more. I’m going to guess RHONJ
New here too just found through twitter
Welcome and thanks r the support
Besides, I think it is entertaining to watch these two who I won’t name make asses out of their selves. A part of me wants to know, but I think we know who it is. I could tell you stories that would have you laughing for days.
Ed/Fishbowl is just doing his job. He likes who he likes for whatever reasons he wants…just like other blogs. Holes/Faux are the ones who are totally 1 sided. There’s also another…STOOPID HOUSEWIVES…yes, SH/Marjorie blogs about all sorts of things (mostly HW’s) bt I’ve actually read some of her posts where she tells her minions to “get back to bashing the housewives”. Yes, she talks about most of the HW shows but she’s never as downright 1 sided except when it comes to Teresa & Melissa. If you go back to when she 1st started her blog & go to the archives, she was against Teresa & now that most of her readers are pro-Teresa, she’s disgusting when talking about Caroline, Melissa, Joe etc. At least Ed doesn’t tell his readers to bash the HW’s-he may give his opinion bt so what? We all have opinions, some nice & some not so nice! Also, Ed does have connections & inside sources & doesn’t just write about what’s already out on the internet & then add his opinion & stupid pics. He writes articles about numerous things-NOT JUST HW’s & also doesn’t stop ppl from commenting about what they think. He definitely doesn’t act like he’s GOD, like SH does. I’ve read some of the posters on SH suck up to her & tell her how great she is & they have her back (with the lawsuit) & they’ll be character witnesses (LOL) plus they act like they’re in grade school & don’t want to step over the line so sometimes they ask permission or say they’re sorry if they post something they think she may not like…SHEESH! I could name a bunch of the posters on SH (which also post on Faux) that will attact you if u don’t agree with them or you have a different opinion & they also worship SH YUCK! Fishbowl is a breathe of fresh air & I’m glad they are here now! I was sick of reading all the trash from SH & Faux (I don’t read Queenz). Oh, here’s another 1, SH always says “ALL the HW’s read SH & we all know it”. LOL She’s delusional. They don’t care what she writes or what her minions think! Anyway, keep up the good work Ed & thank u for not being like most of the other blogs which have been stated in the comments here…I’m sure some of the minions will start posting very soon (of course, after they read your blog LOL).
Thank you for the kind words and support, it’s greatly appreciated.
