Andy Cohen called former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star James Marchese “sick” after Marchese posted a series of homophobic tweets.

Marchese and his wife Amber Marchese appeared on season six of the “New Jersey” installment of the franchise.

In response to Kevin Hart stepping down as Oscars host due to old homophobic tweets and jokes, Marchese tweeted that no straight male would want their son to be gay.

‘So true NO STRAIGHT MALE wants his son to be gay. A gay son is a curse that takes away your #family traditions #heritage #lgtbiq is a a parents nightmare that destroys families. Ruins holidays like #Christmas #KevinHart we support you! #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder,‘” Marchese tweeted.

Marchese continued his Twitter spree by calling people who commented on his post “bigots.” He also claims Europe is “importing Muslim men” because the LGBT community has caused a crisis from a “lack of children being born.”

One person tweeted at Cohen, “This is the most disgusting and vile sh*t I have ever seen in my life. @Andy this is absolutely DISGUSTING! Thank god you fired them after one season.”

Cohen, who is an executive producer of the “Real Housewives” franchise,” responded: “Thank gd is right. Sick. Pray for his poor kids.”

Marchese saw Cohen’s comment and called the “Watch What Happens Live” host “sick” for allowing the antics on “Real Housewives.”
