Jenni “JWoww” Farley may put a smile on her face when she appears on Watch What Happens Live — but deep down, the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star is actually “petrified” of host Andy Cohen. And, yes, that’s coming from the woman who once claimed she would “rip” the heads off of guys after having sex with them.
Farley made the revelation while appearing on Friday’s (Aug. 4) episode of Barstool Sports’ Out and About podcast alongside her co-stars Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Deena Cortese and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola. Just the night before, the women stopped by The Clubhouse with the rest of the Jersey Shore cast to promote the MTV show’s new season.
“I was petrified. [Cohen] scares me,” Farley admitted, to which co-host Pat McAuliffe, who was fired from his production assistant job on WWHL back in 2010, replied, “He is scary, right?”
While Giancola thought the Bravo boss was “nice” to the cast, Farley explained why he makes her feel uneasy. She said, “He’s intimidating because you never know what’s gonna come out of his mouth, and as a woman, you can become very insecure very quickly.”
However, Polizzi pointed out that the two have a “history” of beefing.
“Every single time I’m on his show, he asks me like, ‘What plastic surgery have you gotten done?'” Farley explained. “And I’m just like, ‘It’s 2023, bro. Like, who gives a shit?'”
Decider reached out to Cohen’s reps for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Fortunately for the reality star, Cohen didn’t bring up her cosmetic procedures on Thursday night’s (Aug. 3) episode of WWHL. Although, it’s a good thing Farley didn’t answer his question asking for the “rudest celebrity” they’ve met since rising to fame in 2009. Instead, her co-stars took one for the team.
“Joy Behar!” Polizzi called out, before adding, “Joy was so mean to me. She cornered me in the bathroom and said, ‘You’re not Italian!'”
Meanwhile, Cortese and Giancola hesitantly confessed that Ryan Reynolds wasn’t as pleasant as he seems when they had an encounter with him.
“Me and Sam had our separate thing. I love him. I truly love him. I love his wife,” Cortese said. “Ryan Reynolds was not great to us. I love Ryan Reynolds, still. And I love Blake Lively. He, like, didn’t want to be by us. So I was like, ‘Oh, my god.'”
