Andy Cohen Opens Up About Teresa Giudice's Emotional Return To RHONJ: “It's The Realest, Most Raw Moment That I've Seen”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be making their grand return to Bravo in July, after being on hiatus for over a year. During a recent interview, Real Housewives executive producer and host of Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen talked about the new season and Teresa's emotional reunion with her family after she was released from prison which will be shown on the seventh season premiere episode.

"I've seen it three or four times, and I wept every time," Cohen, told Entertainment Tonight. "It's the realest, most raw moment that I've seen. When you see these four girls jump in her arms, it's like nothing that I've seen."

According to Cohen, the upcoming season will document Giudice as she tries to manage her legal troubles and adjusts to her new life at home.  "You do see a different Teresa, and you do see how this year away really changed her."

Aside from her emotional homecoming, Cohen revealed that another significant storyline this season is the progression of Giudice's tumultuous relationships with her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and her former best friend Jacqueline Laurita.

"It's interesting to see how the terrain lays out between her and her sister-in-law, who have never gotten along," Cohen teased. "And she and her ex-best friend of 12 years, Jaclyn, those are the two relationships to watch, and you'll be surprised by how they turn out."
