The article listed one example: Nicole refused to attend the reunion, and apparently spent two full days in her Tokyo hotel room after a fight with Terry, during the housewives’ trip to Japan.
Right. The use of the word antics is a little over dramatic but whatever. It’s their show.
That’s a shame. I really like Nicole. She is an actual housewife not a single vet etc.

The filming of season 3 of The Real Housewives of Sydney, which was due to start this week, has been delayed, due to infighting among the cast and unsigned contracts, according to The Sunday Telegraph. Instead, the production company has been spending time scouting for locations.

More reason to start filming ASAP.
It was announced at Foxtel’s 2025 upfronts today that season 3 of The Real Housewives of Sydney would air next year.

That’s a shame that it’s been delayed. I was wondering why they hadn’t announced the cast when a few weeks ago it was rumored to commence in October.
RHOS cast members make demands following on-set altercation
Filming of the Real Housewives of Sydney came to an abrupt halt following an altercation on set.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal producers have been forced to undertake some careful editing after an altercation took place between housewife cast members.
After the incident, some women refused to return for the next scheduled date of shooting, meaning producers had to edit the series from what they had already filmed.
The cast members have also threatened to boycott a reunion unless they view the entire season before it goes to air.
The production company creating the second season of the hugely successful reality TV program said production was on track and they had all 10 episodes in the can. It issued a statement yesterday stating they provide a safe working environment for the women.

Socialite ‘dials in’ for toxic reunion as Real Housewives of Sydney drama splits cast
After months of infighting, production of the difficult third season of Foxtel’s Real Housewives of Sydney is finally in the can.
Sources close to the program have confirmed production company Matchbox was, in the end, forced to abandon hopes of shooting a 10th and final planned episode of the BINGE show, instead delivering a climactic reunion episode in its place which features just six of seven cast members.
Missing from the reunion is original castmate Nicole O’Neil who dialled in from an overseas location, said to be London.
It wasn’t long before tempers flared anew in season 3, which airs on Foxtel and Binge in 2025, and a group of aggrieved Housewives threatened to quit the show.
Persuaded not to leave, the women rushed on with shooting however by episode nine, cast tensions came to a blistering head at a party which descended into a physical and verbal fight.
Complaints from the feuding Housewives were subsequently escalated up the ranks to HR bosses at US production company NBCUniversal, owner of Matchbox.

Either bring Melbourne back or move forward with the rumored Gold Coast version from a couple of years ago. The Sydney version has been a disaster from the start and is too toxic to salvage.

It was almost an entirely new cast last season though, so theres just as much chance of this happening on a new Melbourne or Gold Coast version. There was drama last season but it wasn’t as crazy as this sounds.
I wonder if its snowballed drama from existing cast members last season or if its the newer cast members that have ruffled things up. I thought half of the cast were being replaced and Nicole was out but it seems like from articles that is maybe not the case? Bad decision if so. They needed to break up that already existing divide.
I’m disappointed that it means 1 less episode. These seasons are too short already. They need to film more content like the US versions which cut a lot of scenes or just show flashes of some interactions. If they had more they could’ve easily padded out an extra episode.
The trailer for Real Housewives of Sydney season 3 is out.

Looks gooooooooood.
New housewife also, “the Double Bay Princess” - Martine Chippendale.
From Chippendale to Double Bay. Very posh. 
So I guess Nicole’s gone?
Nicole is mentioned here.
Meanwhile, Nicole O’Neil faces empty-nester blues and mounting tension with the Terry Biviano .
Oh excellent.
Thanks!
Nicole is far right.
I mentioned above that she is in the article shared, which presumably came from the press release.
