Andy Cohenis revealing the real reasonNicole “Snooki” Polizziwill never join the cast ofThe Real Housewives of New Jersey.
On Monday’s episode of his SiriusXM showAndy Cohen Live, theWatch What Happens Livehost, 54, and Polizzi, 35, addressed the alleged feud between them after he previouslyshot down the possibilityof her joining the Bravo franchise.
“Now Snooki and I have been in a public war that I was not psyched about because I don’t want to be in a war with you, Snooki,” he said.
“Neither do I. You were just a little sarcastic so I had to come back,” she responded.
Cohen then explained how the spat between the stars started after he declined someone’s suggestion to put theJersey Shorestar onRHONJ.
“And so to me, it’s like putting Mickey Mouse in a Bugs Bunny cartoon,” he added. “It’s too different. You know what I mean?”
Polizzi confirmed she was “not mad” about Cohen’s comment, but said she didn’t appreciate his tone. “I just didn’t like your little, ‘Nah, I’m good,'” she said.

The Bravo executive noted how he understood her perspective and added, “That’s where I take it too far.”
Cohen affirmed, “Snooki and I are not in a war.”
The pair’s resolution comes after Cohen addressedhis “fake fight"with Polizzi on a June episode ofWWHLwhile Polizzi’s pal Joey Camasta was serving as the show’s guest bartender.
“Now, I am in a fake fight with Snooki that is not a real thing. I love Snooki, OK?” Cohen told Camasta. “I feel like people keep trying to poke her and prod her into something, and then it gets in the thing that she and I are in some fight. Will you please tell her I love Snooki?”
“So in my mind, I just thought it’s like putting a Kardashian on, like, another show that has nothing to do with it,” he added. “It’s like two different worlds. That was my only thing. It was nothing personal.”
In 2020, Cohen put the rumors of Polizzi being cast onRHONJto rest during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryan.
“First of all, we are already in production on next season of the show. So, the answer is: at no time soon would that happen,” Cohen said of Polizzi being cast on the Bravo reality series.
“That’s a rumor that’s popped up a few times over the years,” Cohen continued. “It’s always something that I’ve kind of discounted. I’ve thought, it’s two different shows — I don’t see it.”
