Overview
- Cohen said he sometimes yells to quiet the stage during chaotic tapings, acknowledging that telling cast members to "shut the f*** up" is a bad look.
- He stated he asks producers to mark or not use footage of him raising his voice because he does not want those moments featured.
- He identified frequent over-talkers at reunions, naming Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow, Jacqueline Laurita, Toya Bush-Harris and Dr. Simone Whitmore.
- He described a shift from hours-long prep and pre-taping calls to a far more casual routine before hosting reunions.
- He reflected on casting choices, citing Erica Reid as a "one that got away" for RHONY in discussions tied to the show’s long-criticized lack of diversity, and recalled the season-four revamp as a particularly bold firing decision.
