Despite reports claiming Barney and Dubrow would not be returning to the reality series, a new source revealed they will return. In fact, the new source said all the season nine wives would be back.

"The entire RHOC cast will return next season with a possible extra cast addition. And yes, everyone is a getting a big raise after a big season of ratings," LALATE reported on Sept. 8.

Following filming on The Real Housewives of Orange County season nine, both Barney and Dubrow made odd statement about their futures with the series. In a blog post, Barney admitted she was unsure of her fate with Bravo, while Dubrow said nearly the same thing. In addition, Dubrow's husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, told Wetpaint Entertainment last month that he didn't want to go back to filming on the series.

Still, LALATE insists fans will be seeing more of Barney and Dubrow.

"Both stars will be back," LALATE continued. "The money is very good, and the women (despite how they appear on camera) really enjoy doing the show with all but one co-star."

This report is in direct conflict with a couple of previous reports.

On July 30, Radar Online reported Barney had been fired after Bravo grew tired of her diva behavior. Days later, the same site claimed Lizzie Rovsek had also gotten the axe, reportedly because she was too "boring" for the series.
