The co-executive producer confirmed the news of Savetsky’s departure from the Bravo reality show due to anti-Semitism — which Page Six broke on Wednesday — while giving a very personal take on the matter as a fellow Jewish American.
“I can confirm that she is leaving, unfortunately,” he told People on Friday. “What I can also tell you is that when I’ve spoken out against anti-Semitism, the response that I’ve gotten has been quite alarming.”
Cohen, 54, believes we’re “living in really messed up, weird times right now,” which he feels have been exacerbated by wide-reaching platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
“I think social media makes it a whole lot worse. It’s a really rough time,” he lamented. “As a Jewish American, it saddens me to see what’s happening with anti-Semitism.”
Her departure is probably for the best — especially if she made the comment she’s rumored to have made.
