‘Housewives’ reunion gets awkward after Andy Cohen screams ‘Shut up!’

Andy Cohen’s patience finally wore out during part three of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion on Tuesday, as the cast - most notably Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs – would not stop yelling at each other.

“Shut up!” Cohen yelled. “I got a dinner reservation, honestly.”

While some viewers were taken aback by Cohen’s reaction, the majority of fans on Twitter appreciated his candid response to the quarreling stars. That being said, he took a moment at the end to address the outburst.

“I want to apologize to all of you for screaming at you several times. Man, sometimes when I get with the Jersey girls, I turn into a Jersey girl.”

The moment didn’t end with the episode however, as Cohen later incorporated it into his talk show Watch What Happens Live and was vindicated by fans

“Okay, this poll is about me,” Cohen told the audience. “Did I go too far screaming shut up at the women? Yes or no?” Over 90% of viewers who voted thought Cohen was justified in his reaction.
