Party Down South Cast Battling For More Money
CMT has a hit show and its Party Down South, but the hard-partying rednecks of the series are facing what the Jersey Shore cast faced after their first season was coming to a close.
We have been watching and cover Party Down South from the beginning and yes we are the ONLY site doing that for Party Down South, but now that the series is set for a second the cast is currently in negotiations for more money.
Did you know that each cast member was only getting paid $500.00 per episode for Party Down South?
That’s dirt to play in the dirt!
Anyways, CelebNMusic247.com has learned that the cast is DEMANDING more money, but CMT is playing hardball and is prepared to cut some of ’em loose if they can’t agree on new contracts.
Earlier this week Harvey was schooling the cast that they hold the cards and should stick together and hold out for more money like Snooki, JWoww, The Situation, DJ Pauly and the rest of the Guidos of Jersey Shore did back in the day.
Sources close to the show tell us CMT had a conference call last Friday with the cast and their newly hired managers — and one of the stars, Mattie Breaux, went off … bitching about salaries, and a plan to shoot seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back.
We’re told Mattie eventually hung up, but producers were unfazed — and are now saying if Mattie wants to quit … they won’t stop her.
We’ve also learned the cast will get $1000 each to shoot a reunion episode next week … and they’re hoping the new contracts are signed by then.
CelebNMusic247.com has also learned that soon there will be dolls made of each of the cast members and the producers of the show want to release a line of Mattie Breaux mini-skits for tall women. With things up in the air we will keep you posted on what will happen.
We are fans of the show and think CMT should keep the original cast members for another 4+ seasons, because they’re the next Jersey Shore. Ya’ll have a hit on your hands CMT!
