Andy Cohen is clearing the air after rumors started circulating about alleged drama over the bill at The Quiet Woman.
During an episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy addressed the speculation surrounding his dinner with the Real Housewives of Orange County cast at the iconic Corona Del Mar restaurant.
The conversation comes after Tamra Judge previously claimed Shannon Beador had a “meltdown” because The Quiet Woman did not initially pick up the check after years of RHOC filming at the restaurant.
But according to Andy, there was no major drama from his perspective.
“There’s been some hubbub that’s bubbled up that I’ve been seeing, and I guess Tamra talked about it, about my dinner at The Quiet Woman with the Housewives of Orange County, which it was the greatest night,” Andy said.
Andy made it clear that he had a great time with the women and praised the restaurant staff.
“It was so much fun and I loved being there with the women and the staff at The Quiet Woman. I was so happy to meet them. I was so happy to meet the owner and the manager and they love the Housewives and they love what the show has done for their business and they were so accommodating of us,” he shared.
Andy also revealed that the restaurant seated the group at the famous middle table where so many RHOC moments have gone down over the years.
“They sat us at the middle table where all the drama has happened over the years,” Andy said.
Still, Andy acknowledged that he had heard rumors about Shannon being upset and speculation about something involving the bill.
“All I know is this. There have been a lot of stories about… that Shannon was mad about something and something relating to the bill,” he explained.
Andy then clarified that he was the one who paid the bill.
“I paid the bill. I was brought the bill. I happily paid the bill and left a big tip because they had so been accommodating,” Andy said.
He continued, “I loved them there and I loved our time there and it was just great.”
According to Andy, after he paid and left, the restaurant’s general manager told him they wanted to comp the dinner.
“I left and when I walked out the front door, the GM said, ‘The dinner is on us, by the way. We are ripping up the bill,’” Andy recalled.
Andy said he did not want the staff to lose out on the tip, which is why he pushed back.
“I said, ‘I don’t want you to do that because I want the tip. I need to tip the waiter,’ or whatever, and so we figured that out and that’s all I know,” he explained.
Andy then made it clear that he was not part of any alleged fight over the check.
“So I don’t know in terms of people reporting that there were fits about the bill being brought, whatever,” he said.
He concluded by emphasizing that he was happy to pay, loved the restaurant and does not think the situation was as dramatic as it has been made out to be.
“All I wanna say is I was happy to pay and I did pay and I love them and it was a really great night and I don’t think there’s any big kind of drama to this story,” Andy said.
The Quiet Woman has become one of the most iconic RHOC locations over the years, thanks to several memorable cast moments and arguments that have taken place there.
