“Listen, any old person or anyone who just doesn’t really understand what’s going on with the Internet or how many scams are going along, people are susceptible to stuff like this,” he said.
“And if you read the Victim Impact report, it was pretty stunning. So I sat on Smith Sisters Live. I’m hoping to go talk to Jen this weekend. I’m hopeful that I can do that sit down with her in front of some cameras and deliver that to you. I’m really hoping to do that…when I saw the six and a half year sentence, I thought, oh, she’ll do close to three years,” he continued.
“For a federal crime, you have to do 85% of…” he began to say, as John Hill said: “Yeah, probably five and a half, you know, is like the earliest she could get up. She’s definitely gonna be in there for five.”
“Well, listen, it’ll be a big loss for the show. We have great casting for next year. I got so many tweets from people saying this has been such an interesting period where she’s been waiting to be sentenced and people have been saying to me, ‘well, is she on the show or not?’ I’m like, do you understand that this woman is being sentenced to jail on January 6th?” he said.
“They’re not gonna give her no time. So you tell me, is she on the show? Like, what do you want me to say about whether she’s on the show? She’s going to serve her time. So you tell me, is she on the show or not? I don’t understand what people want me to say…it seems like the judge figured it out for us, didn’t he?”
As for what to do with the show, he said: “Oh, well we’ve figured that out. No, we have excellent casting for next season. Yes. I’m feeling good. I’m feeling good. But I am saying it is a loss. It’s a loss to lose her from the show.”
Andy Cohen also addressed Lisa Rinna leaving the show.
