In a new interview with Vulture, Andy Cohen says the *Real Housewives* shouldn’t be *"on trial for their political and cultural views."* The *Watch What Happens Live* host also defended controversial *Real Housewives of Orange County* star Kelly Dodd. *“The line between celebrating someone’s outspokenness and not liking someone’s outspokenness is really blurring these days,”* Andy said to Vulture.* “Bravo is meant to be escapism, and I don’t personally think that the people on Bravo should be on trial for their political and cultural views. That doesn’t seem that fun to me!”* While Andy is not a fan of Kelly's take on Covid-19 and lockdowns, noting that her views are *“troublesome,”* especially after she called the virus ‘God’s way of thinning the herd,’ he believes she is entitled to her opinion. *“I disagree with her point of view about COVID, but there are a lot of people who share her opinion,”* Andy said. *“And by the way, she is in Orange County, where her opinion is probably the prevailing opinion.”* RHOC is expected to return for season 16 in late 2021 or early 2022. ## Thoughts on Andy's comments?
