Andy Cohen has been candid about his complicated relationships with the Real Housewives — especially after they exited their respective franchise — over the years.
Cohen became the Vice President of Original Programming at Bravo in 2004. Two years later, he served as an executive producer for Real Housewives of Orange County, which premiered in 2006. While Cohen’s role at the network has changed over the years, he continued to produce every Housewives franchise, including The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and more.
While his relationships with the shows’ stars are always complex, once a Real Housewife confirms their exit, things can get even dicier for Cohen.
“I very much believe in boundaries. And sometimes I keep boundaries up with people who have no boundaries. These are people who invite cameras into their homes,” he told Paper magazine in 2019. “It’s a complicated relationship … I’m a boss, I’m a friend … I’m an adversary, I’m a button pusher. I’ve become legitimately friends with many of them. I care about them. So it’s nuanced. And sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s not great. It’s an emotional relationship.”
