Last week, it was reported that LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, and Sonja Morgan have been reduced to a pay-per-scene status. The three women reportedly wanted Bravo to give them a raise that would make them earn almost the same amount of money as Bethenny Frankel is making, as it has been rumored that the Skinnygirl mogul is earning $1 million per season.

While Bravo has not confirmed the report, Bethenny is speaking out about the contract negotiations and said that all of the Housewives—including her—are "replaceable."

Speaking with Seth Meyers on his late night show earlier this month, Bethenny confirmed that negotiations are going on and thinks that anyone in "The Real Housewives of New York" cast is replaceable.

"There is a negotiation. I think we are all replaceable. In the very beginning when I started, we all had a little clout because it was such a big deal, but… you could find any crazy people—go to any mall in America, you could find some crazy [expletive], you know what I mean?" she told Meyers.

Bethenny said that since every one of them could be removed from the show, she thinks that cast members can only negotiate up to a certain point. She revealed that she got involved on the show because of her business and that she was glad to be on the show because she had a platform, adding that she thought that show was a good way to draw attention to her brand.

E! Online reports that all the "RHONY" cast members are happy with their contracts, including LuAnn, Ramona, and Sonja. The website also claims that new cast member Juliana Weinstein will be making her debut in the upcoming eighth season of the franchise. Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley have also reportedly signed new contracts and have already filmed some scenes.

Meanwhile, Reality Tea reports that Ramona filmed a birthday celebration with Sonja and LuAnn and Bethenny was allegedly not invited to the special event.

Bravo has yet to announce a premiere date for season 8 of "The Real Housewives of New York."
