The Real Housewives of New Jersey's sixth season came to an end last year ahead of Teresa Giudice's 15-month prison term, which won't be complete until early 2016. Because Giudice has been a main cast member since the show began, fans have been curious about how Bravo will handle her time behind bars.
According to a recent Rumorfix report, the network has been working to recast Giudice's role, but according to Cohen, all casting rumors regarding The Real Housewives of New Jersey are "false."
"I haven't seen any New Jersey casting," he explained. "Here's the thing. They are doing a wide net, so we haven't cast Jersey. Anything you've heard about casting Jersey is not true right now."
In addition to Johnson, Rumorfix claimed Tobi Petrocelli and Rose De Jesus, a lesbian couple, and Maria Bach, ex-wife of Sebastian Bach, were in talks to join the show for season 7.
