Real Housewives of New York OG Bethenny Frankel continues to publicly attack her former boss and friend, Andy Cohen, on her podcast, Just B.
It’s safe to say that Bethenny Frankel won’t be appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen anytime soon after her latest comments about the Big Daddy of Bravo.
On Thursday’s episode of her Just B podcast, the Skinnygirl mogul blasted Andy Cohen for the “problematic” questions he asks on WWHL.
“The last time I went on that show, I was with my daughter, and … he’s asking these questions like, ‘Who’s the ugliest Housewife?’ And you’re like, ‘Oh, let me think,’” Bethenny Frankel told her guest, Real Housewives of Atlanta OG NeNe Leakes.
The questions Bethenny mentioned were all hypothetical examples of questions Andy has allegedly asked. Andy didn’t ask Bethenny any of these questions when she appeared on WWHL in December 2022.
Bethenny insisted that the questions being asked on Bravo’s late-night talk show are “that bad.”
“[He’ll ask stuff like], ‘Who’s the worst mother?’ Questions that are so problematic.”
The RHONY alum went on to say that she believes Andy is “always protected,” while the guests of WWHL get “f–king skinned alive.”
She compared it to getting “Tobasco sauce poured over” their “naked” bodies.
“We’re out there, being thrown like pieces of meat, just to get ripped apart by [the press],” she continued. “It all just seems so gross.”
Bethenny didn’t stop there and went on to claim that Andy “resents” her and “never” protected her on RHONY.
“The truth is I never burned the [Bravo] house down because I thought maybe I’d go back into the house,” said Bethenny, adding that she thought they were “kind of really friends” as she and Andy would often “text back and forth.”
She quickly noted that she only visited Andy’s house once and that they only ever discussed “Housewives” related topics.
Now, Bethenny believes that they “kind of don’t like each other” and that they were “both playing this game.” She then said that Andy never celebrated her successes and has “resentment” towards her because she was “supposed to be beneath him.”
“I’m think[ing], I don’t think he likes me at all,” she continued, adding that she spent years protecting Andy although he “hasn’t been protecting me.”
Meanwhile, Andy recently took his own shot at Bethenny Frankel on his Sirius XM radio show, calling the RHONY alum “hypocritical.”
“You are as hypocritical as a former Housewife that’s been making a lot of noise about Bravo lately,” Andy told his Radio Andy co-host.
The Real Housewives of New York airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

I see no reason for her to go after Andy. The entire HW series of franchises are about as misogynistic as one can get. And Bethany had a major hand in making it so.
It is the women who agree to humiliate themselves on these shows furthering the misogyny that I don’t rally understand.
First Bethenny, your biggest mistake is if you looked at Andy as anything more than your Boss..same mistakes Bravo celebrities from Patty S., Jonathan Anton (the hairdresser guy), Lisa Vanderpump, Nene, Vickie, Jill have all made. He is your boss, he wants to make money, success for himself and Bravo period. They are all employees and that is why Andy does not care about putting all Bravo celebrities in the worst or best light on HW or WWHL as it is a means to an end. Andy will betray them, even those HW that have given years to Bravo’s success. He has a proven history of it. Don’t expect anything more than for him to hire and fire you, and sign a paycheck.
Yes, they are all employees who made him rich. He doesn’t have to be your BFF but he needs to show some respect and deal fairly with this “staff”.
I love the fact that someone has finally taken on Andy Cohen. Of course it would be Bethenny. Think what you want but that woman has balls.
Of steel…??

Andy is gross. Truth
Andy is upset that Bethany is finally bringing all this to light, And his true colors are finally being exposed. he is never protected these women any of the housewives when they go on his show even at the reunions he let them go after each other like a ringmaster at a circus, and had no problem with them, tearing each other up and down as long as he made his money, and he thought he was superior to them that’s all that matter to him. To be honest I think he needs to go and only until he does can NBC/bravo turn this matter around the ratings are at all-time lows for the housewives franchise.
Her word is worth more than his. And that’s why he’s so mad. Keep it going B.
Tell em, sis! He’s repulsive. A misogynistic, wonky-eyed little jewish money-grubbing turd. I hate this man. Drag him, Bethenny!!
