Leah McSweeney is getting a pay raise for the upcoming thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of New York City.
According to Page Six, McSweeney has been given a bump from $3,000 to $10,000 an episode.
McSweeney, who just signed on with WME talent agency, confirmed she was coming back. The publication reported that the other cast members also got an increase in salary. Another source told the outlet that all the women, including McSweeney “got the standard wage increase.”
Meanwhile, it's been reported that there will be strict shooting guidelines amid the pandemic, including multiple COVID tests per week, quarantining and closed sets with no extras, said the source. “If they are at a restaurant there will be no other patrons,” according to Page Six.
The source added that the show will also be featuring a new cast member, a 37-year-old black woman whose identity remains a mystery. The women will be shooting in the city and the Hamptons.
