Insider Info: The Housewives are allegedly banding together to bring down Andy Cohen

Source???

They’re giving him side eye.

^ great source...

THREAD CLOSED

I heard this from a reliable source and there are morsels floating

The power with stay with Andy as he will just pick new ones - which would be great as there is a sense of entitlement with the older ones.

Bethenny is trying to stay relevant....must be exhausting. Look what Kim Zolziak had to do.

R5 Andy is a puppet.

^ interesting and a clear pick of the eye!

Whatever the issues may be with Andy Cohen - at least he's one of us. I'll take Team Cohen over Team Housewives any fucking day of the week and twice on Sundays. I can't stand those harpy shrews. How can ANYONE stand them?

As for Bethany - fuck that bitch and her cheapass "drugstore 'beauty' influencer" attempt. She's not beautiful and she's not influential. She's just incredibly annoying. Her desperate attempts to stay "relevant" fail and fail and fail again. She's annoying. She's OLD and she constantly whines and complains. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. She made her money off of the Housewives gig, she had her 15 minutes of fame and it has reached its conclusion. It's time for her to go the fuck away.

R8 is a misogynist

R8 Mizz Andy is definitely not ONE OF US.

R9 is delusional. Have you ever actually SEEN that show? I'm guessing that you have not. My god, talk about a bunch of misogynists - you're actually talking about every fucking "housewife" in those shows.

They loathe and despise each other and every woman on earth far more than any man ever could.

Are they also sick of their own misogyny? Women can be misogynists too.

Cohen has no power in this and he won't speak on it because he is employed by Bravo so going all Norma Rae would put him in Jeopardy. Cohen is DYYYYING to get away from Bravo. He feels he is a bigger star than just a RH monkey. He went after the Pat Sajak job like gangbusters only to lose out to Ryan Seacrest...again. At this point I think he does it to fuck with Cohen.

R13 Miss Cohen should just realize that she’s not palatable to the mainstream public, he’s stuck with his freak shows.

He must be palatable to mainstream somebodies somewhere, he's been on Bravo for a hundred years with this shit.

Andy is approaching his 60’s so I don’t see a long shelf life for him. He seems like his ego is larger than his responsibility, and I would guess he is one scandal away from being fired (especially if the women are complaining about him). Bravo could easily replace him.

What does 60 possess?

I mean you're the one watching it, r11.

Nope. I watched the first season of the first Housewives a hundred years ago (the OC?). I've only seen clips of the most outrageous, attention-seeking antics and shrieking at the top of their lungs that pop up from time to time (often right here on the DL).

It is not necessary to actually watch this dreck to have a negative opinion about it.

I do, however, enjoy using the phrase PROSTITUTION WHORE! whenever possible.

More like the Frankel bitch has a fantasy of taking over Andy Cohen's job and drip-fed this stupid story about "them all ganging up" on Cohen to push that narrative.

[quote]Cohen has no power in this and he won't speak on it

Obviously. It's impossible to stand on top of an abstract concept and speak. He could speak ABOUT it though.

I confess to being a longtime and regular Housewives viewer, always reasoning that I am in on the joke and it’s harmless. I do think though that 20 years from now, our children will be like “what the fuck did you all support?” It will be seen as an unfortunate sign of these times (like COVID and Trump), and will not have a positive legacy.

R23 they’ve already caused a suicide. What’s next? Where is the limit?

[quote] Insider Info: The Housewives are allegedly banding together to bring down Andy Cohen. They’re sick of him and his misogyny.

Yeah - it’s about time. We’re all sick of this two faced douche mouth bag. Time marches on, and AC does not need to be a part of that.

He MADE these useless, tacky cunts.

It, like a lot of reality TV, has cultivated us to accept as normal things that are absolutely abnormal. Fuck, Teresa flipping a table seems almost quaint at this point. If you’re 40 or older, you remember life before and it’s more of a sideshow, but everyone younger than that has pretty much lived their entire lives with this role modeling. It’s changed us.

*I meant groomed, not cultivated.

R27 is a motherfucking prostitution whore!!!!

Let me’z a tells yous asumbin about ma fambile

He’s not worried.

Nobody is denying he’s made a lot of money. So do corrupt lobbyists. It’s a meaningless metric.

The shows have gotten more and more toxic. Like Erika telling Garcelle’s son to fuck off and dragging Denise over a weekend fling with Brandy. It’s a gross product.

R29, people can't say (or preferably screech) "PROSTITUTION WHORE! PROSTITUTION WHORE!" too often.

That motherfucker never gets old. We, ourselves, right here at the Datalounge where it should be in nearly constant use, do not say it often enough.

Miss Andy better lawyer up.

Bethenny is so goddamn full of herself though. “I was playing chess.” No you weren’t. You got fucking lucky. A little smarter than others, sure, but she acts like she is some Machiavellian mastermind.

I still say she's scheming for Andy's job. I don't have any problem with reality show whores unionizing, go for it. It has nothing to do with this obnoxious cow.

Bethenny has become the aging shrew she claimed to despise - a harpie who is addicted to fame and controversy. A complete stunt queen always trying to get in the press.

R16, a lá Don Lemon. Scandal and fired. No more Housewives over night.

I don't delight in anyone's demise, but I am no Andy Cohen fan.

The girls are gathering

Bethenny is a raging narcissist and probably bipolar. She posts so many completely manic videos on Instagram where she’s talking a mile a minute with crazy eyes - rapidly rating everything from makeup to seafood to products at the dollar store. And now she’s appointed herself the founder and leader of the “reality reckoning” movement trying to get the reality tv people to unionize. Apparently Nene has been talking about this union thing for years, but no - Bethenny is the first one who ever even think the thought.

She’s a train wreck that I can’t look away from 😂 and she’s probably a billionaire - thanks to housewives! So the joke is on me!

R41 a billionaire, thanks to Bobby getting her on the show!

I watch the shows. I think unionizing would be great for the on-air talent, but I think it is essential for talent behind the scenes, I think they’re absolutely mistreated.

Reality show production is the dreck gig of the entertainment industry.

Bethenny is so self-righteous- not surprised by this…

Several years ago, a "new friend" asked if I watched the housewives. "God, no," I said. "Whaaaat?! You've GOTTA watch the housewives," he said.

Ugh. THAT friendship went nowhere, and he turned out to be a pretentious, user TWAT.

BYE, girl.

I never watched any of those Housewives shows or Vanderpump Rules (I don't know what that means).

R46 - Well, you really proved your point. Damn.

She’s going down

This can’t happen fast enough

In a choice between those fucking shrew "housewives" and Andy Cohen, I'll take AC, thank you.

How about neither?

Hahaha! I hope this bankrupts the walleyed Andy Cohen, the fucking tool. Bethanny is also a tool, but in this instance I’m on her side.

Team Bethenny!!!

Andy is complete scum. He hates other gays too, unless they’re young and ready to put out to chase clout that’ll never amount to anything.

[quote]However, a source tells us exclusively of the former Bravolebrity, “I’m sure if she was invited to BravoCon, she wouldn’t be saying this.”

lol

R55 who the fuck wants to go to BravoCon?!!!?

Lol as if Bethenny gives a fuck about Bravocon…

She’s a raging narcissist with a savior complex and she’s out to save these baby reality tv people. The last thing she cares about is Bravocon.

I wonder if Andy actually cares though.

Miss Andy is 55 and looks 68.

I’m not a fan of Andy but Bethenny and Lisa Rinna are both disgusting.

What side do I take?

NBC universal is breaking to Bethenny’s demands. She must have the dirt on them.

Andy will be canceled within 12 months.

Good. I’m so over him.

Wow. So. I mean. Wow.

It’ll probably have to be pretty revealing to cancel him for good.

If you can't see through Andy Cohen and you think he's your friend then you deserve to feel foolish when he drops you. Not an Andy fan but these two are insufferable. Nene could have turned her housewife fame into an acting career because she's actually pretty good and appeared on Broadway twice but she's a pain in the ass and burned bridges. That's not Andy's fault. BF's talk show tanked. She flopped on Shark Tank. Accept responsibility for your failures and stop blaming the network that made you semi famous in the first place.

Bethenny always says she only went on RHONY to push her products & make money - i.e., not for the fame. She always says she doesn't understand why already-rich people want to be on reality TV, i.e., why already-rich people want to be famous. Yet, here she is, already rich, and still on YouTube as a purported beauty guru, still clamoring for attention.

This can’t happen fast enough

**DLers Like This**

Bethenny is full of shit. Yes, she wanted to get rich but she fucking loves the attention. She tried to be and actress and then did the Martha Stewart show. Plus, she was always trying to make it into the scene, which is not something you have to do. It’s something a certain kind of New York woman does if they want social status.

R70 I don’t think she would deny any of that

I don’t care how you feel about your former employer, the dumbest fucking thing you can do is trash them and to trash them with such vitriol is a career killer. She will never work in this media again. What a dumbass.

R72 mainstream media is dying, in case you haven’t noticed. Self-produced social media content is the next wave. The housewives shows ratings are plummeting.

She’s got enough money and produces her own content on Instagram, tik tok and YouTube. She doesn’t give a fuck about burning bridges with Andy Cohen.

Bravo probably won’t be around in its current format in 10 years. Gen Z has the attention span of gnats.

R73 you honestly believe Bethenny Frankel is the future? LOL Ok

This thread turned out to be true. Add Ramona to the list.

It’s very brave of the housewives to buck the tyranny after 20 years. They apparently really are a bunch of shrinking violets, at heart.

Is he cancelled yet?

Indeed, OP.

Sad last days… 😢

Andy is allegedly being phased out of HWs. RHONJ had no reunion not because they couldn’t be in a room together rather because they’re testing out if Andy is essential. More franchises will skip or reformat the reunions. Next step is for corporate to figure out how to pull WWHL out from under him.
