Bravo puts Real Housewives of Dallas on hiatus after an unpleasant Season 5

Variety

“There are currently no plans to bring The Real Housewives of Dallas back next year, and beyond that nothing official has been decided,” a spokesperson at Bravo said Tuesday. As Variety's Kate Aurthur notes, The Real Housewives of Dallas "has not been officially canceled, because Bravo rarely does that," pointing out that only one Real Housewives series, Real Housewives of D.C., has been officially canceled. Real Housewives of Dallas, which has struggled with low ratings, is being shelved for now after a particularly messy, fraught and sour season. "In Season 5, Dr. Tiffany Moon, who is Asian American, joined the cast, and faced strong headwinds from her fellow cast members," says Aurthur. "Brandi Redmond, whose 2017 Instagram story in which she affected an Asian accent had gone viral in the months before production, told Moon she made her uncomfortable, and that she couldn’t be herself around Moon. Cast member Kameron Westcott and Moon butted heads for much of the season, especially after a dim sum brunch at which Moon pushed the women to eat chicken feet. The two of them argued on Twitter also, especially over Westcott’s appearance on the Bravo talk show What What Happens Live, on which Westcott appeared to compare Moon to a Thai sex worker. (Westcott’s attorney later told Variety that the comment had been taken 'out of context,' and denied that Westcott meant the comparison: 'She was referring to how the other Housewives acted during a trip to Thailand.')" At one point amid the brouhaha, Bravo had to issue a statement standing by Moon.
