When Andy Cohen sat down to host The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 12 virtual reunion, it was only a matter of time before everyone got emotional.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

And so when Nene Leakes and Eva Marcille got into an argument about red carpets and appearing on the cover of magazines, Andy decided to implement a strategy to lower the temperature on the heated discussion by hitting the "mute" button.

It was a move that Porsha Williams found a bit comical, as fans saw in Part 1, which aired on May 10. "Oh, they went on 'mute'. No, y'all, did not," Porsha responded with a chuckle.

You can check out the full moment, above.

Andy has been open about how legendary this reunion taping was, even in a virtual setting. "Even though it was virtual, it was epic as every Atlanta reunion has been," Andy shared in his Instagram Story after the sit-down before Part 1 premiered. "The Atlanta Housewives, man, they're trailblazers. They worked so hard to make that reunion happen. We had days of technical rehearsals and stuff just to make sure it would look good. And I think it did. Believe it or not, content-wise, there's so much stuff there, and tipping my hat to the Atlanta Housewives today."
