Andy Cohen Dishes on Biggest Douchebag on Bravo, Best Housewife Casting & Hottest Husband, Plus Who He’d Throw a Drink at & Most Drawn-Out Feud
Andy Cohen revealed his most iconic Bravo moment while appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Alex Cooper‘s podcast.
As the 57-year-old Watch What Happens Live host answered a series of rapid-fire questions, he shared his thoughts on the talent that’s come and gone from the network, named the woman he failed to have sign on to the Real Housewives franchise, reflected on the petty feud that went on too long, and more.
“We got the yacht! We got the yacht!” Andy proclaimed, quoting a The Real Housewives of New York City season eight moment from Luann de Lesseps, 60, on the October 29 episode of Call Her Daddy after being asked about the most iconic moment in Bravo’s history.
When questioned about the best recent housewife casting addition, Andy said, “[Stacey Rusch] on [The Real Housewives of Potomac].”
As for the hottest husband, he also signaled an RHOP star.
“[Angel Massie], the new Potomac Housewife, her husband [Bobby Massie], former NFL player, he’s kind of, he’s bringing it right now,” Andy admitted.
Then asked which husband he’d throw a drink at, Andy said, “I don’t condone violence,” before signaling Jim Marchese, 56.
“There was a one-season Housewife from [The Real Housewives of New Jersey] called [Amber Marchese]. It would be her husband,” he confirmed.
Looking back at a missed casting, Andy named Erica Reid, the wife of record producer L.A. Reid, 69.
“People complained about the lack of diversity on RHONY for years. And there were a few very high profile women of color in New York that we were, that I was sitting with, I was meeting with, that didn’t happen … one was Erica Reid,” Andy explained. “L.A. didn’t want to be on the show. I mean, it was like a whole thing. And I know Erica, and she’s amazing. And she was kind of the one that got away for RHONY for years.”
Moving on to the petty feud that lasted way too long, Andy pointed to The Real Housewives of Orange County.
“[Gretchen Rossi] and [Tamra Judge] right now are arguing about things that happened 15 years ago,” he shared.
He was also asked if he believed Katie Ginella, 41, was lying about what Gretchen, 46, told her about the “naked wasted” incident of RHOC season four.
“Unclear. Lots of stories. Watch the reunion,” he replied.
Also on the podcast, after naming himself as the “biggest douchebag” on Bravo and admitting he “[hoped]” to see Karen Huger, 62, return to RHOP, Andy said he’d prefer to have Karen as a cellmate over Jen Shah, 52, and revealed his favorite song from a Bravolebrity.
“I love Candiace Dillard-Bassett’s song ‘Drive Back.’ Absolutely love it,” he shared.
Then, when asked if it was better than Scheana Shay‘s “Good as Gold,” Andy added, “I love ‘Good as Gold’ … Don’t come for ‘Good as Gold.’”
‘RHOSLC’ star Britani Bateman blasts ‘crass’ Meredith Marks for shady nickname: ‘Doesn’t need to stoop that low’
Britani Bateman is firing back after Meredith Marks took a not-so-subtle jab at her — and her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” co-star Whitney Rose.
Throughout the press cycle for the Bravo series, Marks has referred to Bateman as “S–tani 2,” while calling Rose “S–tney 1,” shady nicknames that clearly didn’t sit well with Bateman.
“I think it’s crass and I think it’s beneath her,” Bateman tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” exclusively. “She’s a smart lady. She doesn’t need to stoop that low.”
Britani Bateman breaks down her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” beef with Meredith Marks during a chat with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
Bateman believes Marks is “crass” for dubbing her “S–tani 2,” while nicknaming her other onscreen foe Whitney Rose “S–tney 1.”
The tension between Bateman and Marks has been simmering ever since Season 5, when the latter accused the “friend of” newcomer of secretly recording a heated altercation between cast members during a group bus ride.
Bateman has firmly denied intentionally filming the chaos, insisting it was all a misunderstanding.
Still, the scandal created a lasting rift between the two women — one that continues to spill over into the current season as Marks’ sharp tongue and penchant for wordplay find a new target in Bateman.
Bateman (far left) and Marks (far right) started clashing in Season 5, when the former joined the series as a “friend of” the cast (pictured here with Kristen Wiig at a Hollywood event in July).
Marks accused Bateman of secretly recording a heated altercation between cast members during a group bus ride — which Bateman has insisted was not the case, just a misunderstanding.
While Bateman is no stranger to the drama that comes with being part of the “Housewives” orbit, she says that she prefers to keep things classy — a trait she attributes to her strict Mormon upbringing.
“I wasn’t even allowed to say ‘shut up,’” the singer shares. “Yeah, like that’s how Mormon we were growing up, which I love and I raised my kids like that too. And I love that.”
Bateman says Marks is a “smart lady” who is capable of having more couth when it comes to verbal jabs.
Although Bateman (far right) and Marks (second from right) remain at odds, the TikTok singing sensation is happy to report that she and frenemy Brownwyn Newport (far left) are in a better place today.
While things remain icy with Marks, Bateman is thrilled that any contention with Bronwyn Newport seems to be thawing. Despite previous friction, the women seem to be getting closer and closer both on and off camera.
“I’m really starting to appreciate Bronwyn,” gushes Bateman. “She’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, she’s savvy and she’s kind.”
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
