Bravo’s Andy Cohen set the record straight about his comments about the upcoming reboot of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Earlier this week, Monsters and Critics reported Andy had confirmed a reboot for RHONJ was coming.
It wasn’t anything we didn’t already know, as he has been saying change is on the horizon since Season 14 premiered.
In his remarks, Andy mentioned fresh faces taking over the Jersey franchise, which got the rumor mill buzzing that the current The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast was all fired.
Andy has again used his radio show to shut down rumors about the Jersey reboot.
This comes as Teresa Giudice has a message for Bravo regarding the future of the show she helped make a success.
Andy Cohen sets the record straight on RHONJ reboot ‘fresh faces’ comment
On his Radio Andy show Andy Cohen explained that he had simply confirmed to a caller the other day that change was coming to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
“I was just riffing,” Andy stated, “She had not heard we are going to reimagine the show in some way. I am like ‘Yeah well we’re rebooting it.’”
The caller argued that Teresa needed to stay, but others, like Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs, needed to go. At one point, Andy stepped in to end the conversation.
“She was yammering on about Teresa, and this and I go, ‘Well, who knows, maybe it will be all fresh faces,” he expressed before adding that his words were then blown into facts.
Andy clarified that he wasn’t saying all new faces are taking over the Jersey franchise. Again, the WWHL host reiterated that nothing has been decided yet and won’t be until after Season 14 ends.
Ironically, Andy set the record straight as Teresa had some words for Bravo amid the reboot talk.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Teresa Giudice has a message for Bravo
Teresa appeared on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, to discuss all things New Jersey and gush over her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. Of course, Kelly wanted the lowdown on the rumors that RHONJ was getting a reboot with new faces.
The Live with Kelly and Mark host couldn’t imagine them doing the show without Teresa and said as much.
“I mean, thank you. I would hope not. So, Bravo I hope your listening,” Teresa expressed. “I mean listen Bravo you know I guess they have a decision that they, you know obviously that they’re gonna be making.”
Teresa took a moment to point out those who tried to sabotage her happiness, alluding to Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga.
Andy Cohen and Teresa Giudice have said their piece. In the meantime, RHONJ fans will just have to wait patiently for news on Season 15. Buckle up because it’s going to be a long wait.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. Seasons 1-14 are streaming on Peacock.
One could only wish Teresa and Jen Aydin WOULD NEVER come back, but sounds like Teresa rules the roost. Too bad.
If Andy Cohen does not include Teresa Guidice in the New show renewed
Then he better change the name because it won’t be the real housewives of New Jersey
it will be the nice housewives of NJ when teresa gets the boot along with her weirdo creepy husband
yesterday needs to go her only storyline is getting back at Margaret and not speaking to Melissa and be hateful evil and fake !!
Lol and exactly WHAT is Margaret’s storyline? Ha ha you Margaret lovers are deluded
meant in my comment Teresa needs to go !
I would hope Bravo would reconsider their take on keeping Teresa. She is the one that starts everything and when the others come back at her she doesn’t like it. Teresa and Louie and Jenn are pot stirrers every time. They hit first for no reason maybe for a story line. As a viewer If they remove Teresa and Jenn for one season and see how it goes, they would have a much better show that’s worth watching.
