The original cast of the Real Housewives of New York is back together to begin filming their spin-off, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, also called RHONY Legacy. 

The upcoming spin-off came with on-and-off drama, as some housewives blamed each other for the delay of its filming, saying unclear contract negotiations were at the base of the misunderstandings. 

Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer and Kristen Taekman are all set to appear in the fifth season of RHONY Legacy. 

Singer surprised fans with her return, notably stating last November that she would not take part in the new season.

She posted a series of photos of their first day in St Bart’s, captioning it, “Let the ultimate girls trip begin.” 

Fans noticed Jill Zarin‘s and Bethenny Frankel‘s absence and asked if “Jill [was] flying in to surprise everyone?” and if “Bethenny [was] there yet?”

Zarin reportedly walked out of the series because she was not getting paid the same salary as the others, while Frankel decided to leave RHONY in 2019. 

A couple of years later, in an interview with Paris Hilton, Frankel revealed that she “was literally there because of the money.”

A premiere date for the Ultimate Girls Trip has yet to be set.
