When the Checks Stop Coming In: Real Housewives Of Atlanta Get Ganked

The Real Housewives were real green when it came to TV contracts and the fact that NBC/Bravo can do what they want with the series… and will. The RHOA are pissed off about this decision:

RHOA: “This is some bull sh*t. We’ve been fighting their as* for the longest to keep the show from going to syndication without us making a dime … Damn, we’re not getting a dime and they’re making all the money… WOW … They can play the show forever and we will never get a check, that ain’t right…”

NBC’s “Real Housewives” franchise is moving into syndication. Reruns of the “Housewives” series will begin airing weekdays on Ch. 4 next fall, NBC announced yesterday. While nothing is official yet, it’s expected that all four of the “Housewives” franchises — New York, New Jersey, Orange County and Atlanta — will air in syndication.

The originals air on Bravo, NBC’s sister cable network. It hasn’t been worked out how the repeats will air, but episodes from each individual series — like “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” — are expected to air in continuous blocks for continuity purposes.

This is the difference between a real celebrity and a fake one. We’re pretty sure this had to be in the contract somewhere. The girls won’t be getting a dime either. All of this in the midst of Kandi opening up a boutique. Better save that money. SMH

    Umm…why Khandi look like she got a package in the front…bad pic.

  • KEYSHA LIKES IT HOT

    Knadi, Lisa & Kim are not the broke ones… Ne Ne, and She’Man Sherre need to save that money honey. They came in without a quater and will leave with only a dime cut down to five cents. Hope She’Man Sherre’s clothing line get’s picked up by Lord & taylor or atleast Rainbow. And Ne Nee needs to sale all of her books just to break even. Good Luck & God Bless!

    yea. kandi’s check from Real Housewives is nothing compared to what she collected from writing songs like “No Scrubs”. I wish her the best with her boutique.

  • NY said…

    So much for not going over the fine print. How many buznesszzes they have between them? who is running this cotton mill anyways? bet Andy making a killing while they all Tardy for the Money… eyyyy!!!

  • tb

    They better save that $45K per episode and stop acting like they the shit. NeNe better head over to E! and see if she can get a gig over there.

    adams,meka

    She might be smart at manipulating people but the same way that you come into a situation is the same way that you have to leave… Kim may know how to get over on people but when you motivation is lead by wickedness your common sense and your ability to have wisdom will diminish…

    What the hell is up with Sheree hair???

  • Brooklyn, Stand UP!

    They should change the name of this show to “5 ugly azz goldiggers”.

    The only one who doesn’t have to worry about money is Kandi. As a songwriter she can write 1 song and be straight for the year. I am sure she has money in the bank.

    People learn something about money. 1 million in the bank and you can live off the interest if you live within your means. And Kandi looks as if she does.

  • PUSSYCATFUN

    IT WAS IN THE FINE PRINT…THEY WERE TOO BUSY BRAGGING ABOUT BEING ON TV TO REALIZE THEY SIGNED A DEAL WITH DEVIL……LOL!

  • http://www.thetruthaboutcelebrities.blogspot.com Truth

    I believe that “BRAVO” is more interested in KHANDI – NOT – the other real (fake) wives of Atlanta.

    They wanna be but they’re not!

  • http://www.thetruthaboutcelebrities.blogspot.com Truth

    Expect Khandi to come out with her own television show.

  • Black is Glamour

    LMAO LMAO LMAO @SPEAKING THE TRUTH….Oh my gosh thats crazy…

    anyways…how stupid can these chicks sound? I mean I thought by the way they were carelessly spending there money (or should I say theyre husbands money)on the show, that they would careless about the network payin them some fat checks…should have analyzed all that sh*t B4 ya did the show. smh.

  • e-ka

    Umm Kandi has horizontal money, Dumb a##!!!

  • diva4marc

    kandi outfit makes her appear a bit masculine…

  • C-Red

    Wow, tv networks are shady as hell. There has to be a standard. I don’t care too much for thse chicks, but that is f**ked up to not get a dime for the syndication. that is how they are suppose to realy ge their money.

  • NewOrleansBaby

    yea Kandi is going to get her own show with them it’s going to be called “Stepping Out” Its going to based on overcoming all that drama the car crash,getting over the death of A.J, and raising his twins..then she’s going to do a come back album and round up Xscape for a reunion..duh!! That’s how it works. How lame.

  • NewOrleansBaby

    @ C-Red

    NO, actually that’s how real actors get it. YOu think the Flavor of Love hoes still get paid…I think not. That’s why they are E-List celebs, the D-List is for out of work actors.

    The true meaning of Southern Hospitality: Country women who smile in your face and offer you a glass of sweet tea or lemonade to get you to open up. Once they know your business, you become the subject of their gossip. Gossip, Hateration, and Backstabbing is simply “A Way of Life” for black people down South.

  • 6 Figgas

    Live and learn. Better luck next time trix…

  • HoneySuckleGirl (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS….LOL)

    It seems as though the real housewives of Atlanta are on BET. Toya, Tiny, and Monica. And at one point Keyshia Cole.

  • bcan

    i love kandi so why does she have on shorts & the other ladies have on dress…did she not get the memo??

  • Classy Lady

    They so wrong for that

  • Nova

    Kandi is straight! She’s a songwriter so she’s going to be alright. Plus, she gets royalties from songs she’s written in the past.

  • The Best I Ever Had

    @ Cynthia & Khristal

    You 2 have got to be the same person. You always post right after each other and comments are always similar.

  • HoneySuckleGirl (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS….LOL)

    @ The Best I Ever had

    I said the same thing on another post. So obvious right?

  • chaka1

    They should have had an attorney review those contracts. They better use their five minutes of fame to launch other careers.

  • Truth… and Di*k Hurts

    who cares about these low rate, low budget ghetto ho’s, is there any women out there that really aspires to be like them, live like them?, if so that’s sad and pathetic..you should aim higher…..

  • jazzyphile

    This is why studio/industry like reality shows. The studios don’t have to pay much as participants are unknown and will sign anything to get on TV in order to be a fake celebrity or they use “C-D listers” trying to get back in the game as they will work cheap. The stidios don’t really have to contract with traditional TV writers and pay them like they use to as the reality stars are more or less placed in fake situations to see how they would react. There is no script per se–they just have to act a fool (NeNe, Frankie, Flavor Flav, etc).

    In the end the studio make a lot a money on the cheap. The sudios win as reality participants have no clout (RHOA) and can do whatever they want with the product/show.

  • blu buddafly

    people want to be seen so bad they will take any deal offered. It seems that people want to be famous more than they want money. The RHOA’s just wanted to be on TV they didn’t think until later about how much money the network generates off their stupid butts. Now it’s too late.

    Sometimes performers think if a show/cd/series is a hit they will renegotiate their contracts but these CORPORATIONS HAVE LAWYERS that will make sure that will never happen. If they hold out, they get replaced.

    People need to stop being desperate to be famous. Folks will do any and everything for free or almost free to get attention and these CORPORATIONS (and that’s what the networks/record companies/film studios are) will take advantage of the desperate.

    Oh well Hope Ne Ne’s book sells maybe Greg can get Social Security…Kim better get out and promote Tardy for They Party. Lisa better get ED back into NFL shape or work on his diction so maybe ESPN will pick him up..Kandi will be alright….She-He should ummm err uhhh. I dunno what she could do to earn money she has no talent at all. I think she’s just F-D off!!!!

  • Heather

    This is what happens when you are broke and uneducated. I know this ish was in the contract…read the fine print or hell just read. Khandi is the only one not phased by this, but im sure she CAN AFFORD a lawyer to addendum or revise her contract. I think Khandi should hve her own show or they should start eliminating these broads with people in Khandi’s circle!

  • JAZZO

    That’s the first negotiation they should have made. Shame on them…

  • Romy

    These real housewives needed real lawyers

  • Souljagir

    Oh FYI Kim received 100k for the last season not telling what she’ll get this season lmao!

  • RazeKane

    Aaahhhh dammm…you mean to tell me these upstanding women didn’t read the daggone contract which stipulates they ain’t gett’in chit…SMFH.
    These ladies should have changed the contract after the first season to reflect royalties from syndication.

  • blu buddafly

    @souljagir

    100k is nothing!!! NBC/BRAVO millions MILLIONS off advertising

    That lil 100k was like me giving you a dollar

    nothin to them

  • blu buddafly

    100k is very low pay for a performer in a series and when Uncle Sam gets thru wit it. Kim won’t have nothing

  • ll

    Welcome to the world of realty TV. People who do realty shows get messed over when it comes to money. This is why networks want to do realty shows so they don’t have to pay people. I just don’t see how they are going to rerun shows that have already been seen a million times on cable.

  • http://www.bossip.com MoniSings

    When it comes to contracts, the devil is always in the details. READ THE FINE PRINT! If you can’t understand it, invest in an attorney who can. SMDH at all this “money” these women supposedly have, and no damn sense.

  • MzFitt

    Why do folks think Kim is the “smart” one? You might not like the other ladies, but they are trying to make their own money. Whether or not their businesses fail, you can’t fault them for trying.

    What does Kim do for a living? I personally think a lot of what she portrays on TV is FAKE. Big Poppa won’t be around forever and he’s not leaving his wife and family.

  • God’s_Angel

    I bet Kandi didn’t get a bad contract. She wasn’t part of the original contract signed by the other ladies, and Kandi has been in this game for years. I know D*MN well she has a good attorney to review contracts.

    I also hope that not all of the ladies got taken advantage of. You get what you pay for. And if you get a cheap attorney, they do a cheap job.

    Maybe the ladies that got f*cked can sue their attorneys for doing a bad job…

    I gotta retire ya’ll!

  • memchee

    Is it really that big of a deal if they’re all as rich as they are claiming.

  • GoldenLADI

    YIPPIE! Glad they arent getting residuals, they are NOT ACTORS!!

  • billie

    What you people don’t understand is all the cities pretty much got the same deal when it comes to sydication. OC is not making out better than Atlanta people. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!!

  • moreno

    PLEASE stop hating on these women. They made a mistake, and we all do. I know some of you would give your arms to get the same fame.
    Jeez!

  • honeychild

    My breakdown on the RHOA

    NeNe= cock-eyed,fake,hating,homosexual loving, ghetto B, she is two-faced, not a good friend to anyone, but Dwight. Does have a devotion to her cause, and tries to help women in need. Gave son a reality check.

    Sherry= she is just plain dykish looking to me, maybe BoB left her not because she was unskilled, and undereducated, by her own words, but maybe she was rolling harder than he was. He couldn’t check her Boo. She is also very selfish, and conceited, she too is a jealous hater. She spent a lot of time
    with her army girlfriend, Humm, they went to NY together, ok I think they are lovers. She thinks she is a little more than what she is. She was not a good friend to no one either. I can’t find any cool points about her. She did agree to meet other men and open up her heart, but I think she likes girls and money.

    Kim= Homewrecking, Gold-Digging, White Trailertrash
    Has no self-respect, attention needy, always showing off her things (bragadoscous), has that Dumb-Blond thing down to a science, is a user, not a good friend to no one. One the Pos, she is a good mother to her girls.

    Lisa- Suffers from Slow thought and a fast tongue.
    She is too busy and fast for me, have a baby for your hubby please. She is too quick to fight, she needs to sit her little self down before she gets checked. She wouldn’t be flipping nothing but her mouth to me, regarding a comment she makes frequently about flipping folks. she loves her hubby, she is kind of selfish. knows nothing about fashion. Closet Freak looks like some clothes my kids put together.

    Kandi- Listen to your momma, she was right about the man. I think shes a better song writer than singer, she seems (comfy) better off writing and producing. Loves her daughter, stands by her man,sincer was a good friend to Kim, Lisa, was open. More real than a lot. I’d spend a day with her, if I had to pick. I’d record, I’m Tardy for the Party. Kandi was a little ghetto, when provoked I can relate to her snapping on Nene.

    DeShaun-Boring, she was too Christian for this lot,
    but she is the better soul for that matter, she had class.

  • chez1979

    They got what they could get out of the show which is more then what they had to start with, so they just need to keep it moving. They are not real actors, they are not registered with the Actors Guild or any other union or association to benefit from any kind of legal protection. Had they wanted to approach this reality series as a “jumpstart” to a real acting career like Jenni from “Flipping Out” who is an actress with an agent, etc. they would be getting paid proceeds from syndication. But they took a short-term, quick money approach and not a long-term approach. Too late to complain now.
