Lisa Oldfield Denies ‘Real Housewives Of Sydney’ Cancellation Rumors; Says “It’s Completely False, That’s Just Speculation”

Last week, Woman's Day's insiders claimed that The Real Housewives of Sydney 'won't be renewed' for a second season. Now, Lisa Oldfield, one of the show's cast members is shutting down reports and reveals it's "not true."

"That's not true, it's completely false, that's just speculation," Lisa told The Daily Mail Australia. "By no stretch of the imagination have we been told The Real Housewives of Sydney won't be renewed, we have very much been told to sit tight, and asked that we aren't allowed to do anything drastic with our hair or anything like that."

"We are still very much beholds to our contracts, we still have to ask very much to have permission to do anything like I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here," she added. "We are always reminded that we are ambassadors for The Real Housewives brand and to not sign up to anything that could affect the brand."

Sources previously revealed that RHOS "will begin filming in 2019" after a year hiatus and apparently they were going to be adding new cast members "to shake things up and change the dynamics."

As previously reported, the controversial show was rejected by U.S. network Bravo for being too extreme - this was the first time a Real Housewives franchise was not immediately picked up for syndication.

If you recall, the fate of the show was in question after Bravo decided not to commission the show for being "too extreme" for American viewers, in which Foxtel's head of television Brian Walsh revealed that he was concerned about the cast, hinting changes would have be made to the housewives line up.

"A lot of the women in this show were nasty for nasty’s sake and have no redeeming features," he said. "I particularly felt Lisa Oldfield and AthenaX Levendi were driving their own agendas."

Brian said he would be steering changes in the second series to make sure the women were better behaved and more friendly towards each other.

"I’ve raised my concerns with the production team from this season. I felt the bad language and behavior throughout the series did go too far," he told The Daily Telegraph.

While there was many hints that Lisa Oldfield and Athena X Levendi were being cut from the show, is understood a revolt from fans of the show have forced producers to reconsider.

“Lisa and Athena may be confrontational on screen, but fans love them,” the source told The Herald Sun back in July. “When rumors came out that bosses were keen to cut them, fans were not impresses, now Foxtel is being forced to reconsider.”

The publication claimed that while all the women are under three season contracts, Matchbox Pictures, who produce the show, can let any cast members go at their discretion.

Lisa Oldifield's husband David hinted that the show was not returning for a second season when the couple where contestants on Ten's reality show, "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here!" earlier this year.

Particular taking a dig at Lisa's RHOS nemesis Krissy Marsh, David said: "She doesn't understand that the show is over. A couple of them we know are not dealing with the fact that whatever they were... they are not that now."

Dismissing the cast as a bunch of 'fame whores', he added: "They really did have their 15 minutes of fame."

While the series was not picked up by U.S. network Bravo for being "too extreme," but the show found international success in New Zealand and the U.K.

The Sydney cast consists of spiritual goddess AthenaX Levendi, businesswoman Lisa Oldfield alongside former model Krissy Marsh, day spa queen Matty Samaei, ’90s pop star Melissa Tkautz, former Miss World Nicole O’Neil and socialite Victoria Rees.
