Andy Cohen slams Teresa Giudice over “unacceptable” conduct on RHONJ, triggering renewed tension within the Bravo franchise.

Posted January 1, 2026

Andy Cohen has launched a blistering rebuke at Teresa Giudice over what he described as “unacceptable” conduct on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, sparking a fresh wave of tension that is now rippling through the Bravo universe.

The normally composed Bravo executive did not hold back when addressing behind-the-scenes friction that insiders say has been simmering for months but erupted after a contentious moment during recent filming.

According to production sources, Cohen felt blindsided by what he viewed as Giudice’s increasingly hands-on interference with cast dynamics, accusing the reality OG of manipulating storylines and attempting to dictate who remains on the show.

The conflict allegedly reached a boiling point during a heated exchange that left crew members stunned and forced producers to intervene to prevent an on-camera meltdown.

Giudice, known for her unfiltered intensity and iron-fisted influence over the franchise, is said to have responded with fiery indignation, insisting any suggestion of impropriety was nothing more than Bravo politics and a desperate attempt to scapegoat her as the franchise faces an uncertain future following its recent reboot attempts.

Insiders note that Cohen’s unusually sharp criticism has rattled longtime cast members, many of whom privately admit they have never seen the network figurehead publicly challenge Giudice so directly, given her status as the face of the New Jersey franchise.

Some fear this marks the most significant fracture within the Bravo ecosystem since the explosive fallout of the Gorga-Giudice feud, which left the cast permanently divided.

While representatives for both Cohen and Giudice remain tight-lipped, one production insider put it bluntly: “This isn’t just a disagreement—this is a power struggle for the soul of the show, and the shockwaves are only beginning.” With tensions escalating and alliances shifting by the day, fans are bracing for a seismic shake-up that could redefine the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and permanently alter the Bravo hierarchy.
