Bravo Allegedly Considering Dropping Entire Housewives Franchise Following ‘RHOA’ Rookie Brit Eady’s $20 Million Lawsuit

Could Brit Eady’s bombshell lawsuit mean the end of the Housewives franchise?

There are growing whispers that NBC is considering ending the entire Real Housewives franchise following the $20 million defamation and harassment lawsuit filed by newcomer Brit Eady.

Over the years, the network has faced a few big lawsuits and allegations, including a now-resolved legal battle with NeNe Leakes, union threats from Bethenny Frankel, and Leah McSweeney’s lawsuit against Andy Cohen.

According to insiders, Brit’s lawsuit might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.  A production insider shared with reporter Rob Shutter:

“What made Housewives great – the chaos – is now its biggest threat. It’s just lawsuit after lawsuit.”

They added:

“The drama made it great. But now it’s a walking lawsuit.”

Shutter noted:

“The champagne’s flat, the taglines are tired – and Bravo may finally be done playing hostess.”

As reported, during the grand opening of her spa, Kenya Moore showed explicit photos allegedly of Brit. After skipping filming for season 16 reunion special, Brit released a statement claiming she wasn’t the woman in the images. She also alleged that the network was aware of this but still “falsely yet unmistakably implied” to the public that the images were of her.

She added Bravo “contributed to a hostile work environment” by subjecting her to “unwelcome, offensive, and sexualized behavior and comments” when they required her to continue filming after a “gendered attack.” She’s suing for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, sexual harassment and more.

Do you think NBC should cut ties with all things Housewives related? Or is Brit reaching with her lawsuit?
