As rumors proceed to swirl about The Real Housewives of New York City’s spinoff sequence — dubbed RHONY: Legacy — Andy Cohen is talking out.
The Bravo producer seemingly shut down a Page Six report that the community rescinded presents to OG forged members of the New York franchise attributable to plans to scrap the thought utterly.
“Don’t believe everything you read #RHONYLegacy,” the 54-year-old Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host tweeted on Monday, January 30.
Cohen initially introduced plans to separate RHONY into two exhibits in March 2022 after season 13 of the present — which starred Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Leah McSweeney and Eboni Okay. Williams— did not impress viewers.
“We talked about everything. There were people who really wanted: ‘Let’s just totally start over.’ And then there were people who were like, ‘Wait a minute, but what about this group that we’ve invested 13 years in?’ I think that’s why this is really listening to everybody,” Cohen informed Variety. “We have a pretty active research department at Bravo. So I will say when research comes to the programming execs, it’s usually not that surprising given what we’re already hearing.”
He admitted that it was a “big red flag” for scores to say no every week amid “disenchanted” social media suggestions.
“Because this is a beloved show. And that’s part of the reason why it’s taken a bit for us to just sit with this and figure out how we want to make this right, and make it a gift to the fans, which I think this will wind up being,” he mentioned.
Months later, Cohen introduced the brand new forged for season 14 of RHONY — Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Dana Lichy, Lizzy Savetsky, Jessel Taank, Jenna Lyons and Brynn Whitfield — at BravoCon in October 2022. (Savetsky give up the reboot in November 2022.) The community has but to formally verify any forged members for RHONY: Legacy, however Singer has confirmed she was not a part of the present.
“I’m 60 something now, I worked hard my whole life. It’s time for me just to enjoy myself,” the 66-year-old informed Daily Mail final month. “And doing the show is not easy. I mean, people think it’s easy. [But it’s] very stressful, very stressful.”
Cohen, in the meantime, final informed Us Weekly in November 2022 that the Legacy forged was “close” to being official.
“She seems like she’s in a place where she’s really happy with where she’s at,” he added of Singer’s determination.
