Andy Cohen got messy when referring to Bethenny Frankel without ever mentioning her name.
Bravo TV‘s exec mentioned it all, except for the former Real Housewives of New York star’s name in a conversation with Lisa Rinna on Radio Andy.
Andy swung at Skinnygirl:
The father of two recalled a RHONY episode. “There was a fashion show.”
“It is the woman who used to be on the show with a margarita mix, and you …”
“… and Luann [de Lesseps]” interrupted Rinna. “And Kelly Bensimon,” added Andy.
After a back and forth, Andy thought, “It might have been the one when ‘The Margarita Lady’ [aka Bethenny] told Luann, ‘You’re a snake'” on camera.
Bravo TV fans reacted to Andy’s shade:
- We love Messy Andy 😂
- OH MY GOD 😂😂😂😂😂😂
- Love that diss 😂
- The Margarita Lady 💀
It’s about Tom the reality reckoning:
During the height of Scandoval, Bethenny proposed a ‘Reality Reckoning‘ to protect talent and crew from exploitation and safe working conditions.
This – in addition to B’s vocal disdain for the network – is most likely why Andy won’t mention Bethenny by name … imho.
“I’ve defined fair & reasonable terms & consider those making $0 on the bachelor to a housewife making millions. This is a 1st pass & how I’d negotiate, w/ my institutional knowledge & wisdom in this industry w/ over a decade on 8 tv, w/ 10 books, 5 podcasts, multiple businesses & what was the fastest growing spirits business in history. I know a contract.”
Bethenny and Rachel [formerly Raquel] Leviss:
ICYMI, Rachel’s first interview post-Scandoval was with the former RHONY star … to Andy and the network’s chagrin.
Bravo TV fans slammed B for profiting off of Rachel’s trauma.
Summer House‘s Kyle Cooke entered the chat to call out B’s hypocrisy. “The irony of it all: Bethenny cashing in ads as she ‘exposes bravo’s exploits’ and gives Rachel ‘a voice.’”
The Traitors season one competitor continued, the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast “literally has more ad spots than any other podcast I’ve ever listened to.”
“Rachel won’t see a dime lol,” continued Kyle adding, “I bet she had to pay her way to fly to B just to record this.” Solidifying his point, Kyle concluded, “Of this was a true PSA it would be ad free.”
