Andy Cohen plans to keep Jen Shah as a former “Real Housewives” star.
The Bravo host made his feelings on the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum clear behind the scenes during a recent taping of “Watch What Happens Live.”
In a video posted from a Q&A with audience members at the Bravo Clubhouse, Cohen, 57, was asked if there was any chance of Jen Shah or Monica Garcia coming back to the Salt Lake franchise.
Cohen didn’t miss a beat. “Jen Shah, I never want to see again,” he said.

Shah, 51, was an original main cast member on RHOSLC for three seasons before being sent to prison on a wire fraud conviction. The mom of two is currently incarcerated at Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas, where her sentence has been reduced multiple times. Shah is scheduled to be released from jail on Aug. 20, 2026, according to People magazine.
Some Fans Want to See Jen Shah Return to RHOSLC
Fans had a mixed reaction to Cohen’s comment about Shah. Many supported the idea of her return to teh Bravo reality show.
“I really wish he didn’t feel that way. Was hoping for a Jen Shah return,” one fan wrote on Instagram.
“Ugh, I’m not gonna lie. I wanted to see her one last time to see what she had to say for herself,” another agreed.
“I still want Jen back,” added another.
“Whether you like Jen Shah or not she paid her debt to society. Bring her back!” another wrote.
Others said they were happy that RHOSLC has moved on from Shah.
Other commenters reacted to Cohen’s silence on Garcia, who appeared on RHOSLC for one season before being unmasked as the mastermind of the Instagram account Reality Von Tease that trolled the other cast members.
“There’s hope for Monica! Hahah,” one fan wrote.
“I want a season with Monica and Jen going crazy at each other lol,” added another.
Andy Cohen Was Asked About Jen Shah & Monica Garcia in the Past
Cohen is often asked about Shah and Garcia, who were two of the most polarizing “Real Housewives” stars of all time.
In an interview with Deadline in November 2024, the Bravo producer addressed speculation that the two women could someday return to the Utah-based franchise.
“I mean, Jen is incarcerated,“ Cohen told the outlet last fall. “I don’t know when she’s getting out, so I think that seems off the table.”
“I’m a big Monica fan, but I think that’s kind of a conversation for the future,” he added.
