Whether you liked Alex and Simon or didn't, you had to know that being on RHONYC meant the world to them. No surprise then that they'd want so desperately for Bravo to change their mind and bring them back:
She begged. She pleaded. She was rejected.Kind of ironic too that they'd get fired when you consider that Alex and Simon were always out in front supporting all the liberal causes that Bravo likes to push. But I'm sure that with all the reality TV shows out there, we won't be seeing the last of the McCords.
Despite issuing a statement last week that made it appear as if she were totally cool with being let go from The Real Housewives of New York City, sources confirm that Alex McCord went to producers over the weekend and asked for her job back.
They said no.
"Bravo doesn't want to cut the relationship, Alex and [husband Simon van Kempen] are nice people, but as for the show and them they are done," an insider tells E! News. "They will be asked to make guest appearances on other Bravo shows, perhaps as judges, or in guest spots - expect to see them in one form or another. They don't want to burn a bridge."
The McCords were making $275,000 per season and will now need to find a new platform on which to plug their new line of Egyptian cotton sheets and towels, Aluxe Home. Our heart goes out to them.
