Meghan King Edmonds shocked fans on Tuesday when she announced that she decided to quit RHOC after only three seasons, but sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively the reality star was fired!
A production insider reveals Edmonds, 33, got the axe after trying to use her current pregnancy as bait for more money. “After revealing that she was pregnant again on the season finale last season, Meghan tried to use the twins as leverage with producers to get an extended contract and pay raise,” the source insisted.
As fans know, the sharp-tongued star is expecting twin boys with former baseball star husband Jim, 47.
“She did the same thing with her first pregnancy and it worked. But producers weren’t biting this time around. They felt that she didn’t bring anything to the table and everyone was sick of her manufactured fake drama!”
Edmonds revealed the news in a blog post Tuesday, writing:
“As you might suspect filming this show takes a massive emotional toll and filming is grueling. I have made soul sisters in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge and that can’t be lost."
She added, "They have touched my heart and I would do anything for them and I know they feel the same way about me – what a gift to have found that on RHOC!”
But according to the source, Edmonds' lengthy statement only added to speculation she was canned by Bravo!
trying to pretend that she doesn’t care and putting the blame on others when she knows that it is her own fault.”
