In case you missed it, Kelly Bensimon has a list of casting suggestions for the next season of The Real Housewives of New York. She sent her ideas right to Andy Cohen’s inbox. It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that Kelly put herself on the list, but unfortunately for her, it doesn’t seem like Andy is too interested in her help.
Kelly Bensimon’s vision for RHONY’s future
After Season 15 of RHONY wrapped, the show’s casting team put out a call on their social media for Season 16 newbies. With Rebecca Minkoff out of the picture and Brynn Whitfield’s future in question, there’s plenty of room to improve this cast. That’s when Kelly jumped in.
“Everybody says I should be back on Housewives, and I’m happy to do it with … Not to be mean, but, like, not this cast,” she explained. “I sent a whole list to Andy. I was like: Here’s the mothership.”
During a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the man himself reacted to Kelly’s suggestions and didn’t seem too impressed. Apparently, it had a hodgepodge of people who were all connected through Kelly.
“She’s on the list. It was, I think being kind of anchored by her,” Andy recalled.
It would have been lovely if Andy had just run through the list live on his radio show, but he maintained an ounce of professionalism. He kept the rest of Kelly’s suggestions under wraps. However, he did tease that one of the names was someone he’s ”known forever.” That could literally be anyone.
“One of the people is someone that I’ve known forever and someone that you know who is not going to do it,” Andy teased before shutting down the conversation.
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock.
