Overview
- Cohen said sometimes the only way to regain control at tapings is to "go crazy," and he has told cast members to "shut the f*** up."
- He cited Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow, Jacqueline Laurita, Toya Bush-Harris and Dr. Simone Whitmore as the hardest to stop from talking over others.
- He described a shift from hours-long prep to a lighter routine, now doing one production call after school drop-off and focusing on seating and the order of issues.
- He acknowledged complaints about RHONY’s lack of diversity and said Erica Reid was the high-profile prospect who "got away."
- He reflected on franchise shake-ups, calling the end-of-season-four RHONY departures a bold, controversial move, and said he aims to stay neutral while representing fan concerns at reunions.
