[VIDEO] NeNe Leakes Grills Andy Cohen: Producer Admits He Has Power To Fire Cast + Takes Shots At Basketball Wives Franchise

The table’s have turned!

Andy Cohen was in the hot seat, when one of BRAVO’s entertaining reality stars grilled him behind the scenes of Watch What Happens Live! In a short, fun interview, Real Housewives of Atlanta’s NeNe Leakes fired a few questions. For starters, Andy admits that he has a bit of ‘shade’ in his bloodstream. How do we know? Outside of admitting it, he shared that he is a bit annoyed that other networks have tried to replicate his popular ‘Housewives’ franchise. He tells NeNe candidly that he’s

Never seen Basketball Wives.

In fact he jokes (isn’t there always some seriousness to a joke?) that those other shows are:

a bunch of second-rate, sh*tty rip-off shows!

Ouch! He also divulges that he does have the power to hire AND fire cast members from any of the housewives shows. And if you’re interested in being casted? Andy notes that you must have some type of money and be willing to bring something different to the show.
