Andy Cohen Negotiating ‘Departure Package’ With Bravo

It looks like Real Housewives head honcho Andy Cohen can't stand the heat.

Amid swirling controversy and falling ratings, the 55-year-old Bravo patriarch is in discussions to part ways with the network he helped shape, sources exclusively tell In Touch.

"Negotiations for Cohen's departure package are underway as he grapples with the fallout from mounting accusations by his stars," says a source.

Thank fucking God. Culture needs to move on.

Doubt this is true.

by Anonymousreply 2April 18, 2024 7:46 PM

If this is true, I believe there would be juicier shit about to unravel, but I don't think so-

I think Cohen has not really done anything that would cost him his job.

This does not sound right to me..

Kneejerk reaction: "Oh, thank God."

Second reaction: "Shit, he's just going to go work somewhere else."

by Anonymousreply 4April 18, 2024 7:54 PM

That's the question, R4.

Where else could he work?

What else would he be good at?

Maybe he can fill the void of the Wendy Williams show, because he's definitely good at being a talk show host.

Plus, he has built up quite a list of celebrity relationships from Watch What Happens Live. So he has a huge contact list.

He'll probably end up on Netflix or Hulu. A lot of women still watch them housewives shows. The man is a cash printing machine w his shows.

Would In Touch lie?

by Anonymousreply 7April 18, 2024 8:07 PM

Andy and Wendy fill the same talk show niche.

Both are shady gossips.

With Wendy's show off the air, Andy could definitely fill the void.

Andy will score a major payday, lay low for a year or so then land at another network. He probably wants to go since Bravo's glory days are coming to an end.

I’m sure he’ll find another gig.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Don’t let the door hit you in that substantial azz on the way out, skank.

I hope he owns the rights to WWHL and takes that with him wherever he ends up if this is indeed true. There is something kind of weirdly comforting about it to me. With fewer/no "Bravolebrities" on it, I can only see it getting better.

Jerry O'Connell can take over WWHL. He's sort of a straight version of Andy.

This smells like a clever tact to navigate around a pay cut and residual specifics by spooking Bravo.

by Anonymousreply 29April 18, 2024 10:17 PM

People are bored with scripted "reality" shows. There is too much good original programming on the streaming services to watch any variation of Housewives.

by Anonymousreply 30April 18, 2024 10:24 PM

What out does he need? He is a Bravo Employee. He was forced out as a Bravo exec a long time ago, negotiating his ep credit on all HW shows. The only one who his exit would hurt would be him. His whole career is tied to being with Bravo. He lost his Sirius channel cut down to just a show on Sirius an even that is all about housewives and bravo.

by Anonymousreply 31April 18, 2024 11:40 PM

You’re deluding yourself, R31.

Even the housewives acknowledge that Andy Cohen is their boss.

They are also very obviously afraid of him.

Even if his title is fake, his power and influence at Bravo is clearly not.

by Anonymousreply 32April 19, 2024 4:08 AM

He also did not lose his Sirius channel. Not sure where you got that idea.

by Anonymousreply 33April 19, 2024 4:09 AM

Nah - just because some crazy people who thought they would make it big on their show throw around some baseless rumors and gripes, he ain't going anywhere.

Love him or hate him - he's good at his job.

And he's only giving people what they want. Otherwise they wouldn't watch.

by Anonymousreply 34April 19, 2024 4:18 AM

r32 Again, he has ep title, He is an Executive Producer on all Housewives shows and will be for the foreseeable future but he is NOT a Brabo executive. He can be let go, WWHL can be hosted, and they can Star Jones him anytime they want. That would be very messy though. He was supposed to be gone. When they originally ousted him there was an exit strategy. Back when all this happened, there was supposed to be a whole slew of "guest hosts" for WWHL to try out his replacement. He started his production company but the only show he ever sold was that lame all-male View-like show on Bravo for six weeks . I do love that they keep reporting his age as 54. His reported birth year is 1968 he is 56.

The network and executives loathe him, he’s only still on the air because he’s playing blackmail cards.

Bravo's been a toxic shit factory long enough for a 21 year old to say, "I used to want to be a Real Housewife when I grew up."

Haven’t several celebrities said that about Datalounge through the years?

I’m with r30. The less “reality” TV the better.

by Anonymousreply 43April 19, 2024 5:20 PM

It doesn’t matter if he is Bravo executive. If he is an actual executive producer on every single Housewives show (and he is) then he likely has more power than any single Bravo executive.

by Anonymousreply 44April 19, 2024 5:49 PM

Was he fired yet?

by Anonymousreply 47April 19, 2024 10:26 PM

They won't fire him but look for him to transition away from WWHL. Probably guests hosts while "daddy" is on vacation. He has EP credit on all Housewives shows but if he does not work for Bravo and does not work for the production companies, he might be shit out of luck.
