Andy Cohen has confessed that he is “always waiting” for it to be cancelled.
The 56-year-old comedian shared his candid thoughts about working in the world of reality TV during an interview with Vulturepublished on June 3. He admitted that he often wonders when people on the Internet will cancel him.
“It's fascinating to me, the idea that you can say something and have it all taken away from you,” said Bravo's former chief talent and development executive.
He further admitted that he constantly worries about getting canceled, which usually happens when a public figure receives immense criticism online for his behavior.
“Sometimes at night I'll be in bed and think, 'Hey, did I say something,'” Cohen added. “I'm always waiting for what will make everything collapse.”
He See what happens live The host acknowledged that at an upcoming event at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, he considered reading an excerpt from his 2012 memoir, More talkative. However, he confessed that he was skeptical about it, due to how the public might react to his work.
“You have to be intelligent with what you say because there are no more nuances. People just expect to be outraged by every little thing,” she continued.
Cohen's comments come months after he was accused of sexual harassment by ex Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Brandi Glanville. In February, Glanville claimed in a letter that a “drunk” Cohen sent her an inappropriate video message in 2022 declaring “his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while he was thinking about her and invited her to watch via Facetime.” .
The letter, which was sent by her attorney, Bryan Freedman, to Bravo's parent company NBCUniversal, Shed Media and Shed's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, added that she felt “trapped” and “disgusted” by the ” extraordinary abuse of power” by Cohen.
Hours after Glanville's letter became public, Cohen tweeted his own statement. “The video shows [Below Deck’s] Kate Chastain and I clearly joke around with Brandi. It was absolutely in jest, and Brandi's response clearly communicated that she was in on the joke,” Cohen wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize.”
Glanville's legal team responded to Cohen's statement in a letter shared with The daily beast. “Why is Andy Cohen getting a pass? “Any other Comcast supervisor who did that would be fired on the spot, especially if the excuse was that it was a joke,” they said.
“If it was such a well-known joke, why did he apologize? Because she knows that she is in a position of power to control where and how much she works so she can do whatever she wants and behave in an abusive and harassing manner,” the statement continues.
Besides, Real Housewives of New York Star Leah McSweeney also alleged in February that Cohen had a “prone” to cocaine use and “tends to give the housewives with whom he uses cocaine more favorable treatment and edits.”
However, last month, Cohen was cleared of misconduct allegations against him brought by Glanville and McSweeney, following an outside investigation by Bravo executives.
“The external investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed,” it said. “The claims were found to be unsubstantiated.”
