ONLINE fighting between the ladies of The Real Housewives of Sydney has hit new lows as the women claim they’ve been censored by producers.

One Sydney Housewife told Confidential producers feared the word “bullying” being linked to the program and had asked the women to self-regulate their online activity.

“The word bully is a bad word in Housewives land, they done want it used, but the truth is some of the behaviours of the ladies are bullying behaviours.”

The remarks came as Housewife Lisa Oldfield moved to delete a post from her account yesterday morning.

She had posted a meme in which fellow Housewife Krissy Marsh’s head was stuck on Chewbacca’s body and Victoria Rees’ face was stuck on a can of Victoria Bitter beer.

Oldfield told Confidential it had been her decision alone to delete the post, saying she can’t be censored.

“It was brought to my attention some people were interpreting the post as bullying, and I am certainly not a bully,” she said. Oldfield said her husband David had also warned her about her social media use but declared she “doesn’t listen to him”.

While the catty infighting helps attract online attention for the program insiders are aware dangerous lines can be with online trolling.

The new reality show has captivated the country with the outrageous fighting between the seven ladies making their Melbourne counterparts look tame.

One Sydney Housewife revealed to Confidential the fighting has far from stopped since filming wrapped last week, with the online jabs continuing to get worse.
