Andy Cohen is speaking out on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Monica Garcia’s firing. Monica was a one and done and before part three of the RHOSLC premiered – it was announced that Monica would not be returning to the hit show.
During the final part of the reunion, Andy Cohen gave Monica Garcia an opportunity to apologize or make peace with the ladies but ultimately – neither happened.
During SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen live, Andy explained why Monica wouldn’t return next season acknowledging that the news is out they are having a “cooling off period,” with Monica.
Andy says, “Well, here’s the thing. I think the reunion is the chance to come out, say why you did what you did on the season. It’s the Supreme Court of public opinion, and so Monica I think had the opportunity not only to explain herself to the audience, but way more importantly in this case to the other women and I don’t think she successfully swayed any of them to her side.”
Andy believes Monica couldn’t get the girls to trust her explaining, “She didn’t and at the end, I really went around because I was thinking, “Okay, well let’s hear it from them all right now. Where do you stand with her?” and they all expressed that they very much did not trust her, which is a difficult way for her, basically it was, what I was also asking is, “Is there a path forward for you and Monica?”
and the answer was no all the way around, so I think that it’s best, you know, we all discussed it ad nauseum that it would be best to kind of let this one breathe for a while. She’s obviously really compelling television. Maybe she’ll be able to build some inroads with some of the women on her own off camera and, you know, we’ll see if that happens.”
Andy adds that he was really rooting for Monica and noted, “we all know the phrase hurt people hurt people.”
