Overview
- Cohen said he asks producers to “mark” moments when he raises his voice so those clips can be left out of reunion episodes.
- He acknowledged telling cast members to “shut the f*** up” at times, adding that yelling at women is a “bad look.”
- He identified frequent over-talkers at tapings, naming Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow, Jacqueline Laurita, Toya Bush-Harris, and Dr. Simone Whitmore.
- He contrasted earlier hours-long reunion prep with a far more relaxed routine now, describing lighter planning before filming.
- He called recent New Jersey reunions especially difficult and tied ongoing Giudice–Gorga tensions to a season that ultimately had no reunion, while also noting Erica Reid as a RHONY casting he long pursued.
