Jeff Lewis was spilling the tea at BravoCon 2025 — as per usual.
Jeff hosted the first “Ask Andy” panel alongside Andy Cohen on Friday, November 14, and no question was off limits. Andy was asked about all the Real Housewives having podcasts and how Bravo polices the women from not sharing spoilers.
Andy noted that the Real Housewives who moonlight as podcast hosts are “pretty good” about waiting until their shows air before discussing any drama publicly. Jeff, however, alluded to it being much deeper than that.
Jeff said he heard rumors that there are “fines” if the women discuss spoilers. Andy appeared to deflect and ignore Jeff’s quip, instead moving on to another fan question.

Keep scrolling for some of the biggest revelations from the “Ask Andy” panel at BravoCon 2025:
Unfiltered Housewives Thoughts
While Andy loved The Real Housewives of Orange County trip to Amsterdam, Jeff thinks the show needs a reboot.
Andy also called Bronwyn Newport an “incredible addition” to The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but Jeff noted that he’s not a huge fan of her husband, Todd Bradley. (Andy also noted that RHOSLC is his favorite franchise at the moment.)
Andy called The Real Housewives of Miami “the gift that keeps on giving” and said they’re “close” to a new cast for The Real Housewives of New York.
As for an update on The Real Housewives of New Jersey? Andy said they will bring back the show when production has found “the right group.”
The Karen Huger Conversation
Andy said that he was “really impressed and engaged” during his conversation with The Real Housewives of the Potomac star following her release from prison, and fans will get to see all of it.
Bringing Back Rachel Zoe
The new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star “fits perfectly” with the cast, and Andy is “thrilled” about the upcoming 15th season.
“She jumped at it and really embraced it and it was perfect,” he said of Rachel.
Who He Wants to See Reconcile
Andy said that he’s hoping RHOSLC stars Mary Cosby and Angie Katsanevas can set aside their differences because he “treasures their friendship.”
Teasing Rhode Island
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is coming “soon,” Andy teased.
“It is the perfect tiny little state and everyone seems to know each other and the women are absolutely themselves,” he explained, calling the women a “unique and wonderful group.”
