Bethenny Frankel Staying, Kristen Taekman, Dorinda Medley Out: 'RHONY' Cast Season 8

The B is definitely back, and she's sticking around. It is being reported that Bravo has just extended an invitation for Bethenny Frankel to return for season eight of the Real Housewives of New York City, and the starlet has accepted. However, with Frankel's acceptance it seems like some of the other ladies might be on the chopping block when it comes to their roles on the series. Frankel made her much anticipated return to the show during season seven, and her involvement has drummed up some new interest in the show. However, while Frankel has already accepted the offer to come back, it seems that her co-stars Dorinda Medley and Kristen Taekman might not be so lucky, as they are rumored to be getting fired.

Radar Online is reporting that Frankel had a clause in her contract saying that if Bravo execs offered her a position on season eight that she had to except, which it seems like she was glad to did, without hesitation.

"Bethenny has already been asked to come back, and she accepted" a source explained to the news site. "It was in her contract that if Bravo made the offer that she would accept."

While the season seven reunion just finished filming, and the show has a few more episodes to roll out before the finale, it is being reported that the girls are getting ready to start shooting again.

However, it doesn't look like Dorinda or Kristen will be part of the celebration, according to The Inquistr.

"Viewers just didn't respond to her at all," an insider explained to Radar. "Dorinda didn't bring anything to the show. She was just boring!"

The site is also reporting that Kristen Taekman is on her way out to make room for "two new sexy ladies that will add to the dynamic of the current group. They need to shake things up."
