Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen is speaking out about which housewife he was sad to see leave the show.

The host sat down for an episode of his radio show, Andy Cohen Live, which included author Danny Pellegrino. During the episode, Danny asked the WWHL host the question about who should still be a part of the franchise. 

Of course, there have been many Real Housewives stars who have left the franchise for various reasons, so this question required a bit of thought. However, upon considering for some time, Andy revealed that he was really sad to see Tinsley Mortimer leave The Real Housewives of New York. Tinsley joined RHONY in 2017 during the show’s ninth season. 

During her time on the show, Tinsley was closest to Sonja Morgan. In fact, the two were even roommates for a time, which presented an interesting dynamic for the show. However, she left the show in the middle of season 12 to move to Chicago and be with Scott Kluth, who Carole Radziwill set her up with in 2017.

As some fans know, he proposed to the former RHONY star shortly after the move to Chicago. Unfortunately, the pair ended their engagement in March of 2021. According to reports, Tinsley now lives in Georgia with her husband, Robert Bovard, and her stepkids.

According to Heavy, during the same episode of Andy Cohen Live, Claudia Jordan’s name came up in conversation after Danny Pellegrino mentioned her as someone perhaps Andy regrets having left the show. Of course, Claudia joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the show’s seventh season. 

Andy revealed that he felt Claudia never got a fair shot at success on the show. Apparently, she moved to Atlanta to be on the show and was originally cast as a friend of. However, she was promoted to a full-time housewife during production. Because of the last-minute nature of her being added, Claudia didn’t get a chance to show her real life or have an interesting storyline. However, no one can forget her epic showdown with NeNe Leakes in Puerto Rico.  

Andy went on to say that he would love to have Claudia rejoin the Real Housewives franchise. Danny Pellegrino stated he would like to see her on the Ultimate Girl’s Trip spin-off show, and Andy Cohen agreed. 

Perhaps fans will one day see both Tinsley Mortimer and Claudia Jordan on a season of Peacock’s Ultimate Girl’s Trip. Of course, Tinsley was first supposed to be on season 3 of the reality series. However, she had to back out due to a scheduling conflict. Porsha Williams replaced her that year. Claudia Jordan has spoken openly about the potential of joining the franchise and how things would be different today.
