68

Andy Cohen is speaking out against claims that the ladies of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island cast all look the same.

On Thursday, as he also confirmed his approval regarding the news that several Real Housewives of New York City OGs, including Ramona Singer, 69, Jill Zarin, 62, Sonja Morgan, 62, Luann de Lesseps, 60, and Kelly Bensimon, 57, were headed to E! in The Golden Life, Andy, 47, responded to a fan who suggested the women of RHORI needed name tags.

After Bravo shared the trailer for season one, fans and Real Housewives couldn’t help but take notice of how similar the ladies appeared. 

“I can’t tell them apart!!” Melissa Gorga, 46, admitted of the all-brunette cast in a comment shared to Bravo’s Instagram page.

“I met the girls they look so alike couldn’t tell a part,” posted Chanel Ayan, 47.

Another viewer added, “They all look the same. They need name tags,” which sparked Andy to react.

“Remember when no one could tell Meredith and Lisa apart? I promise you’ll get used to it!” he replied.

Meanwhile, on an episode of his radio show, SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy said he was “so excited” to hear that the RHONY cast would be starring in a new show.

“I’m so excited for them. I texted the ladies yesterday. I think it’s gonna be a great show. I could never root against these women. I absolutely love them. I love them together. So does America. I’m gonna speak for America, and I think it’s gonna be great, and I can’t wait to watch, and I’m happy for them,” he told listeners. 

As fans may have heard, the upcoming series will feature the women in Palm Beach, Florida.

“They all live in Florida … I believe Jill, Sonja, and Ramona live in Florida, so that’s where they really are, so I think it’ll be great,” Andy continued. “If you watch [The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip] that they all did, it was really fun. That felt like kind of a series finale in a weird way. They kind of wrapped it all up, but now they’re embarking on their new lives, and yeah. So, I wish them well.”

“I’m happy for the fans who wanted to see this, and I’m happy for them,” he added.
