AceShowbiz - Andy Cohen, host of "Watch What Happens Live", has weighed in on the fate of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" following the cancellation of its season 14 reunion. Addressing rumors of a potential season 15 reboot, Cohen stated that the decision will be determined "as that comes."
Cohen emphasized that the focus is currently on exploring alternative options for the season's closure. He noted the success of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" as an example of how a hiatus can facilitate a fresh start and cast shakeup.
The "RHONJ" season 14 cast has been divided, with Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga refusing to interact after a major rift. Cohen expressed his understanding of the challenges posed by the group's tension, but emphasized the importance of resolving it for the show's success.
Regarding the canceled reunion, Cohen suggested that viewers will gain perspective once they witness the upcoming season 14 finale. He described it as "a classic" that will justify the decision to forgo a traditional reunion.
