“I never really comment on contracts or hiring or firing but I will say that we’re gonna miss Carole a lot. She was an important part of the show for six years,” Andy told Us Weekly. “I’ve known her for a long time, since the late ‘90s I think. So we obviously all wish her well.”
Now that Carole is leaving the show, Cohen isn't worried about finding a new Housewife for Season 11.
"The great thing about New York is the history, so we love people who have history with the group," he told Entertainment Tonight. "Dorinda had history with the group, but you had never really seen her before."
Ramona Singer shared an emotional reaction to the news that Carole Radziwill was leaving RHONY after six seasons on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen a few weeks ago.
"I don’t want to cry and ruin my makeup. No, no, I’m sad because I love Carole inside and out. I think she’s really warm, special, down-to-earth, truthful, giving, kind, supportive of women, genuine, smart, fabulous. I’m like, wow," Ramona shared on WWHL. "There’s gonna be a void."
Last month, Carole confirmed her exit from RHONY in a statement to Bravo TV's The Daily Dish. "After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONYC, I have decided to return to what I do best — journalism and producing. I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament," she said. "I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next."
