Chaos on the Real Housewives of Sydney set as one member abruptly quits the show, another is ‘missing’ and two stars are forced to use rental homes for shooting

The Real Housewives of Sydney is back six years after it was cancelled.

However, things don’t seem to be running smoothly for the second series of the rebooted Binge show.

Filming for the global reality franchise began Down Under last month and is still underway, but there is chaos on set, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

American producer Amy Kohn, who worked on some of the American show’s extremely popular franchises, came to Australia to revive the Sydney series, but has reportedly dropped out.

According to the publication, she left the show very suddenly.

There is also apparently drama between the cast as one member was allowed to go to Europe with her family during filming.

Victoria Montano was “missing in action” for part of the series, according to the publication’s sources, and her co-stars were unimpressed.

In addition, producers were forced to rent two houses in Sydney for filming.

Housewife Terry ‘The Biv’ Biviano and her NRL star husband Anthony ‘Mini’ Minichiello are unable to film at their Vaucluse home as it is under construction.

While wellness entrepreneur Sally Obermeder’s home was deemed unsuitable for the show’s filming requirements.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Binge for comment.

This is because sources previously told this publication that the reboot almost never happened in the first place.

Producers originally found “phenomenal” casts in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and tried to come up with a way to combine the women to create a unique show.

However, network bosses ultimately decided that a Sydney reboot would produce the best series and appeal to overseas buyers as well.

This time around, the network has demanded “fun and ambitious” women from Sydney’s eastern suburbs instead of the “toxic” cast from the original series.

“They’re just looking for funny and fabulous women who can open up their lives and give viewers something glamorous and aspirational,” a source said.

‘It becomes a lot more real and honest instead of made up cat fights.

Foxtel doesn’t want a repeat of the toxic drama from the first season. This reboot will be completely different with lots of luxury and sympathetic ladies.’

They added: ‘Of course there is conflict between the women, but no one is throwing wine or knocking tables. Viewers don’t want to see that anymore.’

However, network bosses ultimately decided that a Sydney reboot would be best for the series and also appeal to overseas buyers.

It is said that Foxtel is happy with how filming is going so far and that the reboot will be a return to form for the troubled franchise.

Original cast members Krissy Marsh and Nicole O’Neil return, as producers were impressed by their wealth and the fact that neither woman got too nasty during the show’s first season.

Krissy has already been spotted on set with Sydney socialite and party animal Caroline Gaultier.

The pair were spotted filming scenes on the beach in Rose Bay with celebrity personal trainer Jono Castano.

Meanwhile, original cast members Lisa Oldfield, Athena X Levendi, and Victoria Rees were immediately ruled out of returning due to the major drama they caused during the first season.

American network Bravo, which broadcasts the Real Housewives franchise, declined to air the Real Housewives of Sydney in the United States after executives called it “too extreme” for American audiences.

“Many of the women on this show were nasty for the sake of being nasty and have no redeeming qualities,” a Foxtel boss said at the time.

Despite producers looking for less confrontational women this time around, one housewife, who is one of the more prominent cast members this season, reportedly had a major headache on set.

A source says the housewife in question is “image-conscious” and “trying to control the story,” causing friction with both her castmates and producers.

However, another source completely dismissed the claims, insisting there were no issues with any of the women, including NRL WAG Terry Biviano, who had clashed with producers on set last month, according to the Daily Telegraph.

When reached for comment, a Binge spokesperson said: “Production is going well and we are delighted to introduce Australian viewers to the new group of Sydney housewives in this reimagined series.”

Meanwhile, Foxtel is rumored to have lost all interest in the Melbourne series after five seasons and has no plans to revive it in the near future.

It comes after rumors about the Real Housewives of Brisbane cast were recently leaked.

Glamorous candidates included PR queen Fleur Madden, couture designer Sonia Stradiotto and jewelry designer Jimena Alejandra.

said Jimena The advertiser that she was approached in mid-2022, “but then they told us they canceled it.”

Fleur added that the network had plans to make the series different and less frivolous than its processors.

“They were specifically looking for business women and women who had their own success, they were trying to make it different,” she told Adelaide Now.

A number of high-profile women had been approached by producers, and some reportedly turned down the opportunity, opting to keep their lives private.
