Andy Cohen is breaking his silence and is sharing his thoughts on the leaked audio drama surrounding The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah.
“Have you heard about the Jen Shah leaked tape of her going against her stylist?” a fan asked Andy during the WWHL: After Show.
“I heard it, unfortunately,” Andy confirmed, according to a report by Reality Blurb. “[And] for anyone who thought she was putting it on for the cameras, I guess you have your answer.”
Kao Johnson, who created Shah’s reunion gown among other looks, took to Instagram after coming across an alleged leaked audiotape of her berating him. It is unclear how it was leaked onto the internet, but Johnson claimed to Page Six that the incident occurred in November 2020.
The alleged audio leak was captured and shared by the Instagram page, realityvontease2.
“Honestly, Koa, this is insane! You need 20 more people? Like how many more people do you need to do one f*cking thing? One thing,” she can allegedly be heard screaming as the designer attempts to explain that he needs more time and help, according to a report by Reality Blurb. “Then f*ck it, I’m not wearing JXA, Send everybody home, I’m not wearing JXA!”
Then, at one point in the recording, Jen allegedly threatens Koa with violence before accusing him of lying.
“I’m like ready to f*ckin – you know we’re gonna put on boxing gloves and I’m gonna beat the sh*t out of you in like two seconds. That’s how p*ssed off, hurt, upset I am,” the voice yells.
The yelling continued with, “Do you know how many f*cking nights you were at my f*cking house and I was up at night because of your f*cking b*llsh*t? Do you, Do you?! Okay, guess what… do I blame you and say it’s your fault? ‘Hey Bravo, it’s Koa’s fault, it’s his fault!’ No, it’s my fault! So own your f*cking sh*t!”
“How old are you, huh? How f*cking old are you,” she allegedly asks. “It’s acceptable where you came from? Your parents taught you how to f*cking lie? You think anybody wants to be with a f*cking liar. This is going to affect you for the rest of your life, your f*cking reputation, your credibility, everything! How f*cking dare you do this to me!?”
Las week, Shah’s lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to two Instagram accounts that shared leaked audio of the Bravo reality star yelling at her former designer, Koa Johnson.
A fan account on Twitter shared a screenshot of the alleged letter asking @realityvontease2 and @shahshepherd to refrain from speaking or posting about the audio clip of Shah berating Johnson.
Shah’s attorney, David Reymann, confirmed to Page Six on Thursday that he sent the cease and desist letters.
Reymann wrote in the letter, “Among other things, each account contains video and/or audio content that was unlawfully acquired from the Shahs’ home security system.”
Johnson previously revealed that he does not know who leaked the audio of Shah threatening him, the incident occurred on Nov. 6, 2020, with multiple people present.
“It was a very, very stressful time,” Johnson said of the 10 months he worked with Shah. “I wasn’t sleeping. I was not taking care of myself physically and mentally, but I was still operating on adrenaline.”
“It was like the most traumatizing months of my life,” he affirmed.
