She may be in hot water with Hannibal Pictures, but Sonja Morgan is raking in the dough from her work on Real Housewives of New York City.
According to documents filed in her bankruptcy case, Morgan is set to make $426,500 from the reality TV show. No wonder she was one of the first to sign back onto the show!
Prior to the start of production on season 6, certain cast members refused to sign their contracts over salary disputes. Countess LuAnn de Lesseps was the last one to give Bravo her John Hancock.
The documents filed by Hannibal Pictures, the production company that sued Morgan for failing to raise money for a movie involving John Travolta, states, “Morgan’s current annual gross earned income of $426,500 derived from her employment as a performer on the reality television program The Real Housewives of New York, as reported in her monthly operating reports filed with the Court."
Morgan was forced to file bankruptcy because of the $7 million judgment — which reached a staggering $8.5 million total with interest and attorneys’ fees included, RadarOnline.com previously exclusively reported.
Judge Rita Miller not only upheld the financial settlement, but she also gave Hannibal Pictures an additional year to enforce a lien on Morgan’s earnings and assets.
