Andy Cohen seemingly suggests why Jenna Lyons may not return for season 15 of Real Housewives of New York, and fans believe her recent comment on Watch What Happens Live shows she’s “done.”
Though Jenna was a fan favorite in the current season, she refused to engage in much of the drama surrounding the cast. Many viewers found this refreshing and claimed she’s far more authentic than the typical Bravo star.
When asked on Andy’s SiriusXM show if he believes Jenna will return next season, the host answered, “I hope so.”
He then explained, “You know, I think her girlfriend is a little camera-shy, so that’s a challenge, but I do really hope that she does [return].”
Despite Andy’s hopefulness, Jenna sparked more speculation during a Watch What Happens Live interview in which Andy asked what was Jenna’s “thorn” of the season.
“I mean, the whole show,” she answered simply, in a clip shared by @bravosnarkside on Instagram. Andy seemed taken aback by the answer.
Fans then shared their theories in the comments.
“I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t come back to the show either,” wrote one viewer.
“Jenna has WAAAY better things to do,” stated another.
Another user said they “saw this coming.” A fourth fan expressed, “I love Jenna! She’s my favorite but I think she’s too good for this show!”
A fifth viewer wrote, “I love her.. but… I don’t think she’s cut out for housewives.”
Other fans brought up a report that Jenna is skipping the upcoming BravoCon.
“When I saw that she wasn’t going to be at Bravocon, while the rest of the cast is…that was my first clue. I think she might be a one and done,” said one user.
Another speculated, “She said it herself [in the finale] using other words. She felt like she never clicked or wanted to be vulnerable with these women. I don’t blame her. She’s a very public figure and after seeing Jessel and all the gross assumptions they made about her marriage, Jenna probably disengaged. She has a lot at stake.”
The Real Housewives of New York City season 14 reunion begins airing next Sunday, October 22, at 9/8c on Bravo.
