Cohen, 53, began the conversation with the singer by asking her how she slept, to which, she responded: "Very well."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cohen was surprised to hear that, but Jayne explained that she was "happy" to talk openly about her drama and "close this chapter" of her life.
Among the earlier questions the star was asked was whether her attorneys advised she leave the show. She said they did.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"But I said no because I have nothing to hide," she explained, noting that lawyers warned her that things could get "flipped around on" her, but she chose to stay on-air anyway.
She also addressed fans' continued calls for her to leave. "Why should I be fired?" Jayne asked Cohen. "Why are you presuming that I’ve done something? Why aren’t we letting the legal process play out?"
Jayne added, "You’ve heard one side – and a lot of bulls--t on that side. Give me a chance to defend myself. Watch me. I’m ready for the challenge. Watch me do it."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She later said that after leaving her husband, she's "trying" to date and is looking for someone that's well endowed so she can have some "hot sex." Jayne also shared that since divorcing Girardi in 2020, the Bravo show has been her main source of income.
Jayne then addressed her marriage.
First, Jayne said that she was sad to learn that Girardi wasn't able to attend her debut on Broadway in the musical "Chicago" early last year.
