Andy Cohen Reveals ‘Darkest Moment’ of ‘RHONJ’ Finale

Andy Cohen has shared his thoughts on the "darkest moment" from the Season 14 finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ). Known for its dramatic highs and lows, this season was particularly tumultuous, leading to significant eruptions among cast members. As the finale wrapped up without the need for a reunion, Andy opened up about the specific incident that stood out to him.

Season 14 saw the cast notably divided, raising concerns about the show’s future. Andy Cohen acknowledged that changes are needed and hinted at possible reboots or new cast members in the works, although nothing will be revealed until 2025. Despite the turmoil, the season concluded, leaving viewers with a finale intense enough to negate the necessity for a reunion episode.

Reflecting on the finale, Andy Cohen identified the moment that unsettled him the most. He discussed it on *B*ch Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown, highlighting a specific comment made by Luis Ruelas, Teresa Giudice’s husband.

During a confrontation involving Teresa, Luis, her lawyer, and several other cast members, the group discussed accusations that Margaret Josephs had been communicating with Luis’s ex, allegedly spreading falsehoods. In a tense exchange, Luis said, “I hope her f—ing son suffers the way I suffered, the way other people in our family suffered, dealing with a woman like that.”

Fans quickly criticized Luis for mentioning Margaret’s child in such a harsh context. Andy Cohen, as a parent, found this particularly despicable. He explained, “Let me tell you something, if someone that I didn’t care for invoked either of my children’s names… that is what it would take for me to be Danielle.”

The reference to Danielle Cabral stems from an earlier incident where she lost her temper during a meal after Jennifer Aydin made disparaging comments about her husband’s physique.

Andy Cohen emphasized that everyone has their breaking points. For him, discussing his children unfavorably would drive him to react strongly. He elaborated, “Danielle Cabral’s button is ‘don’t talk about my husband’s pecs.’ Mine would be if you mentioned my children in an unfavorable way like I would go absolutely mental.”

Luis Ruelas has since addressed the incident but did not fully take accountability, leading fans to speculate whether his apology was genuine or merely a reaction to being caught.

On a lighter note, Andy Cohen revealed he enjoyed a particular moment from the finale involving Jackie Goldschneider. Found to have been associating with Luis’s ex, Jackie inadvertently became the target instead of Margaret, whom Teresa had blamed all along. Andy enjoyed watching the scene where Jackie, feeling embarrassed, walked away, with Dolores making a humorous comment about her need for a diaper.

Andy Cohen’s reflections on the RHONJ finale highlight the complexities and emotional intensity that fans have come to expect from the series. Viewers are left questioning what changes are in store for the show’s future and how these dramatic moments will shape what comes next.
