Andy Cohen was supposed to interview Jen Shah ahead of her sentence in federal prison, but at the last minute, Jen pulled out…accusing producers of trying to manipulate her and control the narrative.
Now Andy is speaking out…and he says the REAL reason is something very different.
“She released a statement that was not really true about what our negotiations were,” Andy said on Watch What Happens Lives. “What she wanted was, I believe, for us to do a series. She wouldn’t do the interview unless we did a series leading up to her going to jail and following her, which we kinda felt like we had seen.”
“Also, what I wanted was answers,” he continued. “She had lied to me. She had lied to all of her friends. She had lied to everyone. So I wanted to talk to her about what really happened, and she didn’t want to.”
Jen was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison for her part in a nationwide telemarketing team that targeted the elderly.
“Maybe Howie Mandel would’ve given her a more safe space,” he said, referring Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval’s exclusive interview following the Scandoval reveal.
