Andy Cohen is putting a stop to Jennifer Aydin’s bold claims, making it clear that no decisions have been made about her return for The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Aydin may have spoken too soon about her return to the show, and Andy Cohen isn’t having it.
The Bravo exec has denied any official decisions regarding the Season 15 cast, leaving fans speculating about what’s really going on behind the scenes.

Some X (formerly Twitter) users were quick to comment on the situation, with one remarking, “Andy definitely said ‘you did not make the cut,’” and another adding, “oh she’s definitely fired now lol.”
