Andy Cohen Addresses Rumor That Teresa Giudice Is Leaving 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'

Andy Cohen is speaking out.

The Watch what Happens Live host spoke out about a rumor that Teresa Giudice is leaving Real Housewives of New Jersey on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on Thursday (May 18).

Teresa has been a cast member on the show since Season 1.

“There are people that I mention in the book that I’m waiting to hear what their reaction is. Like last night, Teresa said, ‘I need to talk to you about some things that are in the book.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ And I guess there was a moment at the last Jersey reunion where I have a conversation with Teresa, and I don’t know exactly what I wrote in there, but it seemed to me that she was done with the show,” he began.

“I believe that I said that to her. And we had a conversation off-stage. She’s like, ‘you know, I didn’t quit the show at the last reunion.’ I go, ‘that’s not what I said.’ Now I believe, of course it’s been picked up in the quote press as maybe saying Teresa Giudice was gonna quit, or ‘Andy Cohen thought she quit’ or something. But I just thought she was done and over it after the last reunion,” he continued.

“And I believe I said something to her, and I think I maybe even said, ‘I don’t know, maybe you should step away. What do you think?’ And I do remember, and this isn’t in the book, a week later I got a long text from her saying, ‘I’m not leaving the show and I never wanna leave the show,’ basically. So she and I hashed that out.”
