That’s right: Jennifer Lawrence was a huge Bravo fan who helped… Summer house Investigate sound leaks.
On April 24, the network began a full investigation into how audio footage from the April 23 reunion special taping made its way onto social media long before it aired. The three-part reunion didn’t begin airing until late May — and concluded Tuesday night.
Just days after the leak, on April 26, Bravo ended its investigation, firing the person described as a “reunion movie co-producer” for his role in the leak. Andy Cohen, executive producer and host of the Bravo show, condemned the breach, also sharing at the time that a Bravo fan “who you’ll hear more about solved the case.” [and] “I provided crucial information.”
On Cohen Watch what happens live! Tuesday night, after the reunion wrapped, he confirmed that Lawrence is indeed that person. At the time, Cohen seemed very excited about this fan — and Bravo and cocktails She mentioned it could be Lawrence. But the network never confirmed this.
“There has been a lot of speculation about the identity of this super fan, including the wild theory that it was actress Jennifer Lawrence,” Cohen said Tuesday night. “I wanted to personally thank that super fan. Guys, that super fan was actually Jennifer Lawrence. Her online investigation helped our team solve this mystery.”
The leaked unauthorized recording was footage of the cast members at the center of the show’s off-camera scandal — Amanda Patula, West Wilson, and Ciara Miller — arguing back and forth about the events that led up to Patula and Wilson coming out and defending their secret relationship, despite Patula being married but estranged from cast member Kyle Cook and Wilson being Patula’s boyfriend and Miller’s ex-boyfriend. Patula and West cited an alleged video of them together, which prompted them to come forward about their relationship.
But this footage did not make it to the final stage. explained Josh Brown, Bravo’s VP of Current Production Hollywood Reporter During a series of reunion interviews, the leaked audio was raw footage during the 10-hour recording and “we would never play the full 10 hours. Choices had to be made. We didn’t really pay attention to what was in the leaked audio versus what we would normally do. We made the loops using the normal creative process. I don’t feel like there was anything cut, and I’m not even talking about the leaked audio, but I don’t feel like there was anything.” “Kabeer missed the scenes.”
At the conclusion of the reunion on Tuesday, Bravo announced an upcoming additional episode. The summer house: the consequences It will air on July 16 and will contain three conversations covering the scandal that has been unfolding since the reunion taping. The encounters were filmed three weeks after the reunion: “Lindsay gives Amanda some tough love while Kyle seeks honesty from West. Ciara meets with Mia in person,” the log reads.
Brown said of the bonus episode THR That the Sessions cast members are “definitely hitting a new place” after what could be considered an incomplete reunion, given all the questions that still swirl around West and Patula’s romance. “I think it’s too simplistic to say ‘close,'” he said of the additional episode talks, adding, “These are issues that are going to take a lot of time to resolve, if they are resolved. I don’t really know where it’s going to go in the future, but it’s definitely reached very interesting new levels of understanding where another person is coming from. “I think viewers will find it very fascinating.”
Meanwhile, the Season 11 crew is still on track to film by the end of June, with filming scheduled to take place in early July. Although Brown admitted that “it’s going to be very difficult to get the cast back together” after everything that happened. However, he said they are not looking at Season 11 as a reboot. “We feel this is evolving,” he said. “It’s really about what the show is, which is obviously about a summer share in the Hamptons, and in real life, every summer, there might be a core group but the group evolves into shared houses in real life. So these things evolve. We can’t say exactly how many people are returning or exactly how many new cast members are joining, but there are always new people to freshen up the dynamic and we were planning for that before any of this scandal happened.” Read his full interview here.
