On the same day, Cohen says Singer called him upset because he had invited Jill Zarin back to the Real Housewives Of New York set for a tennis scene. “Apparently a cast revolt was brewing about her coming back for even one scene,” he says. “I completely understood her point of view, actually, and we killed the shoot.”

Best friend Sarah Jessica Parker texted him after the show calling him out. “Tell me the truth, could you concentrate on tonight’s guests?” he says she wrote.
