Andy Cohen is weighing in, carefully, on Jill Zarin being dropped from E!’s upcoming RHONY reunion series, and while he insists the decision isn’t his to comment on, one moment surrounding the fallout clearly shocked him.
Speaking on Andy Cohen Live, Andy addressed the situation after attending a Broadway show surrounded by Housewives who were all buzzing about the controversy.
“I don’t really have anything to say about it besides, ‘Call E!’” Andy said bluntly when asked about Jill’s firing.
Co-host John Hill noted Jill has already lost the job and suggested it might be time to stop piling on. Andy agreed that the situation was already tough, especially given the timing.
“I mean, especially someone who was let go in season four, talked about it with me so much on camera, off camera, was finally coming back, and then a week after the announcement…” Andy said, trailing off.
But what truly stunned him wasn’t the firing itself — it was how Jill’s own family business handled it publicly.
Andy said he is still shaken by seeing the Zarin Fabrics Instagram account post an image of Jill with a giant X over her face.
“I am still, will never get over the sight of the Zarin Fabrics Instagram account posting a picture of Jill with an X over it… I never thought that I would see the day,” he said.
He added that he’s known Jill for nearly two decades and couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“When I saw the Zarin Fabrics post, I was like, ‘Oh my god, the walls are crumbling.’ I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it.”
The irony wasn’t lost on him either — Andy joked that just weeks earlier Jill had messaged him recommending Zarin Fabrics rugs for a reunion set.
The situation follows Jill being removed from E!’s new series after backlash over her comments about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. Andy made it clear the network’s decision wasn’t his to defend or criticize, but his reaction shows how surreal the aftermath has been — even for someone who’s seen nearly every Housewives scandal unfold in real time.
