'RHONY' SPOILER Kristen Taekman Fired After Bethenny Frankel Fight?

She might have just returned to the Real Housewives of New York City, but it seems that Bethenny Frankel is looking to make some changes to the cast very soon. While she has feuded with some of the other gals on the set, it looks like all the feuds make for good TV except for the one that she had with Kristen Taekman. Frankel's return might have breathed some fresh air into the storylines that were falling flat during season six, but new reports are claiming that for season eight it looks like there will be a casting shakeup with Kristen out and Bethenny very much in.

According to Radar Online, Taekman's position on the show is very up in the air, as viewers have noticed that she hasn't been meshing very well with the other girls, and doesn't have much of a presence on the show this year.

"Kristen will probably not be invited back to the show because she doesn't fit in and her storyline is stale," an insider explained to the Page Six.

Bethenny's return to the show is likely to be Taekman's last rendezvous with the girls, as the site is saying that her picking a fight with Frankel is going to lead to the returning show runner wanting her off the series.

"It will be the nail in Kristen's coffin," the source explained of Taekman's feud with Frankel. "Bethenny wants her off the show. She is now the anchor. Kristen is likely departing."

However, despite the rumors it doesn't seem that any official casting decisions have actually been made yet regarding who is going and who is staying for season eight.
