It’s over for Jennie Nguyen!
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member has officially been fired from the Bravo show after racist social media posts from her Facebook account surfaced over the last few weeks.
In the 2020 posts, which were written during the Black Lives Matter movement following the murder of George Floyd, Nguyen called BLM protesters “thugs,” shared racist memes, and regurgitated pro-police talking points. The mother-of-three shared an apology on social media last week, saying:
But that was too little, too late for fans — not to mention, the network, which announced it has now “ceased filming” with Jennie on Tuesday.

A statement from the network read:
Andy Cohen shared similar sentiments on Monday’s episode of his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, telling listeners:
The 53-year-old host went on to reveal that he and Nguyen’s co-star, Lisa Barlow, only quickly discussed the controversy on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live because they pretaped it last Wednesday, just hours after the posts started making headlines.
He explained:
Barlow, a friend of Jennie’s for years, said during the WWHL taping that she does not “condone” her co-star’s posts, adding:
Other RHOSLT stars — including Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, and Jen Shah — have also denounced Jennie’s posts and unfollowed her on IG. Shah, who has a Black husband and sons, called out Nguyen directly, noting that her apology seemed “disingenuous.”
The second season of Salt Lake City is currently airing on Bravo, with Nguyen just entering the season’s main storyline. The post-show reunion was filmed earlier this month.
