But when it comes to rumors of a total re-casting, Andy Cohen firmly set the record straight.

If I can't put 100 percent of myself into filming, genuinely and authentically, it really doesn't feel right doing it in a full-time capacity."
"Right now I need to protect and prioritize the things that matter most to me—my company, my people, and of course myself," Olivera added. "However I'm involved this summer, you can bet I'll be rooting for another incredible season from my Summer House fam."
