Earlier this month it was announced the show would be on pause which shocked the Dubai ladies who thought they were going to film soon. The Real Housewives of Dubai reunion also had a series low with ratings at 189,000. 

Andy Cohen is now speaking out on the pause calling it “smart business.”

It’s just smart business,” Andy Cohen, 56, said, while on the red carpet of Bravo Fan Fest 2024. “We have a lot of Housewives going right now. And it’s one of the reasons it took so long to get The Real Housewives of Atlanta going, and one of the reasons we’re in a deep pause with The Real Housewives of New Jersey. We just want to make sure we get everything right and be very deliberate with everything we’re doing.”

Season two’s cast starred the returns of Chanel Ayan,Caroline Brooks, Dr Sara Al Madani, Lesa Milan and Caroline Stanbury, with Taleen Marie joining as a new housewife. 

The Real Housewives of Dubai’s first season had a season average of 590,000 viewers while season two’s averaged 291,000 an episode. But Andy says the pause doesn’t have to do 100% with the ratings.

“The great thing about the Housewives in general is that the numbers are super high for all of them across the board, especially when you factor in Peacock and streaming,” he tells PEOPLE.You can’t look at overnight or live ratings anymore. It just doesn’t tell the whole story. And when we’re making decisions, we’re really looking at the full picture.”

“We love these shows,” Cohen adds. “We all want to get it right.”
