Are Producers Firing Taylor Armstrong?

February 12, 2013 | By | 90 Replies Continue Reading


This season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is almost over and that means a new season will start shortly after. So will everyone return? Not likely! In fact, E! News is reporting that Taylor Armstrong probably won’t be returning!

Sources say, “producers are looking at other options. They feel like Taylor’s storyline has become too dark and they need to shake things up a bit. They have been talking to quite a few new people. There are also discussions about Faye Resnick  possibly coming onboard as a full time-member.”

Producers are reportedly also looking to hire Rod Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster. Alright so I think this is Taylor’s last season and she only returned this season because producers felt bad for her since she was going through so much drama! I doubt Faye will be asked to be a full-time housewife but you never know. Are you ready for Taylor to get the Bravo boot?!

    Faye Resnick??? The hell am I reading? Did the producers not notice the backlash when she was on earlier in the season? They got rid of her Bravo Blog for a reason….

    Of course, that’d be a dream come true for her.

    • YeahRight says:

      If Faye joins the cast , then I am out as a viewer . Taylor is bad enough , she needs to go and Faye needs to never be seen on air again imo.

      • Sam says:

        That’s why I’m a little shocked. Not a lot of people like her, so why would the producers invite her to be a full time housewife? Kind of stupid, if you ask me.

        • Another RHO_ Fan says:

          Faye Ratsnest would be a death sentence addition to RHOBH! Are the producers brain dead?

          As far as Taylor is concerned, the producers should do all they can to get her into rehab…if they have anything that remotely resembles a conscience!

          But I doubt that they do.

        • CaTfAcE says:

          Well sometimes that does work when people hate a person so much it tends to get them more invested in the show, even though they don’t technically want to be. Plus they may tune in just to see her get taken down a few notches. Stuff like that is weird sometimes, you think it will turn everyone off but it turns out that being turned off by the person makes them want to tune in for other reasons. Who knows, it could go either way I’m sure. That said, I hope Faye will not join the show…I can’t believe I’m saying this but I would rather keep Taylor than Faye.

          • Maru the Cat says:

            I get your point, but this might be too divisive. RHOATL hasn’t found its stride with Sheree leaving last year and Kim leaving this year. And many of us are hanging on by a thread with RHONJ (I want to see who producers ask back after this 5th contractual season)

            I vote no for Faye. Surely there are many fabulous women to choose from in Beverly Hills! I still think of the OJ trial when I see her.

            I want to see Paul next season too.

          • CaTfAcE says:

            Yeah I certainly do not want to see Faye every episode, besides the obvious something really annoys me about her and hearing her voice makes me want to rip my ears off lol.

      • Say What?? says:

        Kyle has been trying to get Faye on the show from the very beginning but producers dont like her! That, in my opinion is the reason Kyle was so mean and nasty to Brandi from day 1! Kyl is rumored to get a portion of the contract for all housewives she brings into the group.. Brandi was brought in by producers and not Kyle.. so kyle has no vested interest in Brandi.

        She does have a vested interest in all the other ladies.. its all about the $

        • BM Barbie says:

          I’ve heard the same thing. Honestly I HIGHLY doubt they would bring in Faye as she has been lurking in the shadows since Day 1 and has never been offered the position. Lord knows she’d sell her soul to be famous…oh that’s right. Already sold it.

        • Maru the Cat says:

          I heard she gets a cut too, its very skewed!

      • sandybo says:

        all I can do is agree. Nothing more to be said or I will throw up thinking about Fays. Yuck.

      • IRiSHMaFIA says:

        I agree. Can’t stand ugly hag Faye.

      • IRiSHMaFIA says:

        I agree. Can’t stand ugly hag Faye.

    • southernbell317 says:

      AGREE! Bringing Faye on would be STUPID! I will have to check out as well as a viewer… I will not watch her…. good riddance to Taylor as well

    • Buck Henry says:

      Fae RatsNest really does want on the show but I don’t think they will allow it. But having Rod Stewarts ex-wife being one is truly stirring the pot since Adrienne is dating her son. They will pick her over Fae and still use Fae as a friend.

  2. Rebecca says:

    So they want to bring on Adrienne’s potential (step?) mother-in-law? LOL

  3. KIM says:

    If Faye is on full time, I will officially quit watching this show. I am sick of drama being on every single episode, it is turning into Basketball Wives

  4. rhfan says:

    I really hope this is Taylor’s last season!

    As I have said many times, Bravo should fire any HW whose storyline becomes more about “feel sorry for me” than about “look how fabulous I am”.

    Regarding that Faye, ewww she is bad enough as a “friend”. I don’t think most people want to see her sour face any more often than we do now.

    Seriously, BH is full of fabulous women. Why settle for sad sacks?

    • BM Barbie says:

      “Bravo should fire any HW whose storyline becomes more about “feel sorry for me” than about “look how fabulous I am”.”

      Amen sister.

    • CaTfAcE says:

      Because the sadsacks are the only ones willing to humiliate themselves on such a demeaning, catty show lol. I think Yolanda is the kind of woman everyone says they want (classy, rich, not into drama) but once we got a woman like her no one likes her hardly because she is so boring haha. Us viewers don’t know what the heck we want. :P

      • BM Barbie says:

        Haha Catface, SO true! I love Yolanda, but she has zero business on this show (again, I’ll say that is a GOOD thing!).

        • CaTfAcE says:

          I think I would like her on a different show. Being on the housewives makes her seem stuck up and boring I guess, I don’t know. She just doesn’t fit, which is funny because HW shows are supposed to be about rich, “classy” ladies lol. Damn you Bravo for getting me hooked to the drama and being amused by it’s ridiculousness.

      • rhfan says:

        LOL Catface, you’re right!

        Maybe they could find someone who is a sadsack, sometimes and “fabulous” the rest of the time ;)

        I don’t mind crazy, just am tited of the whiny.

        • rhfan says:

          *tired of the whiny

        • CaTfAcE says:

          I know what you mean rhfan! I would take crazy any day over whiny and feeling sorry for themselves all the time. Kenya on Atlanta doesn’t bother me, she is just funny to watch even though I know she is acting for the show, but Taylor is just ugh…well you know.

  5. Lexy says:

    Please let it be, let Taylor be gone. They already have too many ladies as it is. I think even maritza can go, she has no story line at all. All the others can stay.

  6. Beachiest says:

    Faye Resnick????????? They cannot be serious. That will be the day I stop watching the BH franchise.

  7. Jelly says:

    Honestly they should just fire Taylor, and Yolanda and Adrienne and the cast would be fine on its own.

    Kyle, Lisa, Brandi, Marisa and Kim can hold the show just fine.

    • CaTfAcE says:

      Agree! Maybe Kim as a part time housewife though. Well I guess she already kind of makes herself part time by never showing up.

    • What Happened Was.. says:

      Agreed….open the door and let Drunk Taylor out and tell Yolanda to hold hands with her…and exit left…

    • sandybo says:

      Come on let’s get rid of Kim too. I don’t give a rats a$$ about this self centered boring twit.

      • lifetimemovie says:

        I agree. Her excuses for missing events are getting so ridiculous. The dog hit my nose….sigh

        • BM Barbie says:

          No no no, it’s not that the dog hit her nose, it’s that, “I was ON MY WAY when I got hit in the face. I got hit in the face. Yes. By what? Umm, my dog.”

          So the dog was in the car with you?

          I have a theory that Kim got the puppy for the litany of excuses it can provide for her…it ate her homework…it hit her nose….it ran away….it can’t find its passport…

  8. Srt_3 says:

    I’ve noticed whenever Taylor is on WWHL she makes some specific comment about “their” show. Has anyone else noticed that?? It’s like she’s peeong all over AC to claim her stake.

    I think she needs to go. She’s a hot mess

  9. Annah says:

    If they get rid of Taylor I MIGHT consider watching BH again. I was so pissed they kept her on that I haven’t watched a single episode this season. I TRULY cannot stand to look at that woman. I just hope she gets REAL help for herself and her daughter.

  10. Hautemomma73 (Tracey) says:

    Please, please, please, please let this rumor be true!!

  11. Charay says:

    Yea they should get rid of her, Kim & Adrienne

  12. michers says:

    Oh man! Just when she is getting started flapping those lips! I like the “tell-all” Taylor! She is holding steady to the fact that Adrienne is a liar.. and I like it.

  13. Lynda Doll says:

    Clearly BravNo saw the blogs go into overdrive after Fayke had her fifteen seconds.. no doubt this will be the new Jersey. . F*CK no!! Stupid networks and their teeny minds and big ass pockets.
    Gah.
    Alsooo.. all the talk of Wakowines tweets re not Tre (sure sure)
    The second ep of last season’s reunion Jac called Tre a MORON to Carowine under her breath….
    :O

  14. kags6752 says:

    I can’t stand Faye and if she is gonna be on the show next season I Will no longer watch that show… Take Adriene out too both of them are pathetic people and bullies!!!! Don’t like Camille or Kyle too much anymore either….if Brandi had more $$ or more houses to sell maybe Mauricio wouldve kept his mouth closed a couple weeks ago…

  15. RB says:

    I don’t believe this story at all. These EXACT same reports came out after Season 1, saying that Camille, Kim and Taylor would not be back. The same story went around again after Season 2 saying that Kim and Taylor were being let go. This happens at the end of every season and they all still come back (although I do think they need to cut Taylor like TWO seasons ago)

    • BM Barbie says:

      I would normally agree with you, but I do think they’re getting rid of Taylor, mainly because she has barely been on this season and it seem like they’re phasing her out. (thank gawd)

      • Jelly says:

        And I know Camille is not coming back and I am pretty sure Adrienne is out too.

        • BM Barbie says:

          Yes, I heard the same thing Jelly. Definitely not Adrienne anyway, so if you say for sure no Camille then that’s all three probably out. But I agree with your other statement that the remainder of the cast can hold their own. I also heard they’ll likely not ask Yolanda back, and if they did, I’m not sure she’d return anyway.

          • Jelly says:

            I hope Yolanda doesn’t come back. I will be super happy if Yolanda leaves along with Adrienne and Taylor. Camille said she has no interest in next season after all that happened this season.

          • BM Barbie says:

            Yolanda has no storyline except for her husband, and shows little interest in the show altogether. Plus lord knows she doesn’t need the money. I highly doubt she’ll return.

          • CaTfAcE says:

            I don’t know BM, she does need those extra horses she can’t afford lol.

        • Maru the Cat says:

          Jelly – where did you read Camille isn’t coming back? I missed that story!

    • Aunt Sadie says:

      Helz, bring in Nene, she’ll spice things up for sure!!

      • BM Barbie says:

        I was just about to say up the thread, let’s get Nene on RHBH, she’s in Hollywood now and way more fun than these women! BLOOP

  16. Cajsa says:

    I have no interest in the corpse eater at all. I find it offensive every time that vulture gets trotted out with her friend Kyle. Certainly one factor in realizing that Kyle is of questionable character is her long standing friendship with the ugly buzzard.

    I think it may be for the best if Taylor is let go. The media exposure does her no good. However, a part of me is liking her role pointing out the hypocrisy of Camille, Kyle and Adrienne who were not nearly so concerned about the legal taxonomy last season when Camille was outraged that Russell was suing her when she got a cease and desist letter. And Adrienne’s infamous “friends don’t sue friends” remark was about a cease and desist letter. That they are making a distinction this year is the purest form of hypocrisy.

    That Kyle agreed to ban the Armstrongs from her home because of the C&D while she is bringing Adrienne along to the tea in a similar situation just tells her that one person’s C&D is not the same as another’s and that the rules for Taylor are different than the rules for Adrienne and that Camille as a victim is different than Brandi as a victim of legal intimidation. It’s a critical point to make and no one else can make it.

    Camille obviously consulted an attorney when she received the C&D and said she could not interact/talk with the Armstrongs. So, her astonishment that Brandi is consulting a lawyer is beyond disingenuous. Certainly, Brandi is showing more fortitude than Camille did. I didn’t see Brandi demanding that Adrienne be banned from the party.

    Seriously, the hypocrisy those three women have wrapped themselves in would drown them if they were in water.

    • BM Barbie says:

      I completely agree, I was actually quite appalled by much of last night’s episode. How on Earth did Adrienne sit there and insist there was no letter? And then her painfully obvious deflection, “What about what you said on Twitter? What about what you said on Twitter??” She was very clearly flustered.

      Adrienne’s lawyers served Brandi with an official C&D. If I remember correctly, Russell sent an email to Camille threatening to sue, I don’t even think he actually had his attorneys draw up a formal C&D! And Adrienne and Paul were essentially the ring-leaders in having Taylor and Russell turned away at the White Party. The “Friends don’t sue Friends” that some on here want to take so literally applied LESS in the Russell vs Camille (hello, were they friends???? NO.) than it does in Adrienne vs Brandi because at least they are co-workers. Taylor was completely right in calling out the hypocrisy of Camille and Adrienne in yesterday’s episode, even if her delivery was booze-fueled and poorly articulated.

      • Maru the Cat says:

        I have wondered how Adrienne lies so easily and feel she has probably lied a lot over the years, in big ways and gotten away with it. Anyone else would fess up/apologize. She seems very used to lying while looking into someone’s eyes. Shifting to Brandi’s single tweet was an odd / silly move in that verbal duel. Loved that Brandi kept her cool.

        Again, very good post Cajsa & BM Barbie.

    • Leila says:

      Yes!!! Agree, Agree, Agree!!!!

    • What Happened Was.. says:

      Lisa invited Adrienne to the tea….Fays was not invited by Lisa…

  17. Aunt Sadie says:

    Taylor is not stable enough for the show! This season just proved how much help she really needs. Little McKenzie needs a stable life outside the public eye. Tic tic tic, don’t see that happening.

  18. Melody says:

    Taylor has no relevance this seasons except for those moments when she makes it about her.

    The scenes next week are actually a bit disturbing.

    She was weird and creepy last night.

    I think she’s gone and Adrienne will be gone too

  19. VLK says:

    Oh please, let Taylor go. I always found her most self-centered and as always it’s all about her…. And Fay R??? Ewwww…..I will not watch it if she is on…..

  20. Ssminnow says:

    Adrienne, Kyle, and Taylor need to go. Adrienne is just reaching out for attention, I used to love Kyle but now I find her shady, and Taylor is just a hot mess. If Faye ends up on the show I’m Done with the housewives all together. Faye is judgmental and is just clearly trying to jump into the housewives bandwagon.

  21. samael says:

    “sources said” aside, one of the most famous moves of franchise’s is to put the problem cast member in the appropriate rehab..then fire them if the cast member does not comply.

    All humans are aware that “scripted is scripted” = bravo to the T.
    Bravo is knowingly employing a cast member who is visibly in pain and masking it in a vat of alcohol. Normally it is the person’s choice…but in hollywood/bravo land – it would be the responsible approach.
    I don’t think Taylor should be fired..she should ask Kim where she went to rehab and sign in. It would be laughable for bravo to fire her because she drinks too much..all of their franchise’s promote alcohol.
    I don’t think now is the time for bravo to abandon a woman who is in pain..visibly.

    Anyhooo..so far this is “sources said”

  22. cindy123 says:

    I’d rather see Taylor then that bitch Faye. Can’t stand her.

  23. Patty R says:

    Faye Resnick? Can’t be serious….the nice thing about Beverly Hills,have enjoyed the classier ladies…. I remember way too much about Resnick……no thanks

  24. disgusted says:

    Aren’t there other rich bored HWs in BH that can take Taylor’s place ???

  25. Marcelo says:

    Taylor brings more than Kim does..I feel Kim on there because she is Kyle and Kathys sister thats it…Fire ADRIENNE she is boring and dry toast her and her maloof hoof lol Save Taylor

  26. NeNeFan says:

    No Faye please. I’m just gonna roll my eyes every episode, and that’s not gonna be good. Maybe I’ll stop watching.

    If they’re gonna bring Faye, they might as well keep Taylor.

    Taylor ISN’t that bad sometimes. Maybe they should deal with her drinking problem, or some other issues she’s dealing with, the push her back to part time like Camille.

    just no Faye please. No thanks.

  27. Not So Hoppy says:

    I can’t stand Faye, but she’s better than Taylor!

    Taylor’s behavior last night was abominable — both on BH and on WWHL!!

  28. it's a little fat shoe says:

    I’ll take drunk Taylor over the morally corrupt Faye Resnick any day of the week!

  29. sana says:

    wow that would b great !!!! I would LOVE to see Taylor gone!!
    it’s gonna be funny if the producers decided to bring Leann XDDDD Talk about drama!
