Andy Cohen made an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast and, of course, spilled a bit of Bravo tea.
“Has anyone during a reunion ever really really pushed your patience and you’ve been like, ‘I’m so f***ing over you,’” host Alex Cooper asked during the Wednesday, October 29, episode.
Cohen, 57, initially said the “last couple” Real Housewives of New Jersey reunions gave him a “really hard time,” with the ongoing Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga drama resulting in the latest season not even having a reunion special.
“I don’t like screaming at women, it is a bad look. But there are moments — and they left them in the show — where I’m like, ‘Shut the f*** up’ or whatever,” he said. “By the way, sometimes the only way that I can get people to be quiet is to literally, like, go crazy.”

Cohen said he’ll tell producers to “mark that” moment when he raises his voice because he doesn’t want them to use that footage.
“There are enough that are in the show but some, it’s just me talking over a cacophony,” he said. “I think that there are some people who it’s just harder for them, and it’s no disrespect, it’s harder for them to have the intake of what someone’s saying and then speak back and then figure it out.”
He named Giudice, Lisa Barlow and Jacqueline Laurita as three Housewives who have the hardest time not talking over people. He also named Married to Medicine stars Toya Bush-Harris and Dr. Simone Whitmore.
“The thing about the Housewives is I am also one of their bosses, in theory,” he also shared during the episode. “When I’m wearing my Housewives reunion hat, I am trying to be the most neutral version of myself while also representing what the fans are saying because I know what the fans are saying.”
Cohen admitted to getting more “in the weeds” with Southern Charm or Vanderpump Rules because it’s “fun” for him.
“It’s one of the reasons I love those shows and why I think people enjoy watching me doing those shows,” he shared. “I love giving men with um men with Peter Pan syndrome s*** who make bad decisions. I love it.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Cohen discussed his experience with “passionate” Housewives fans. Especially when they caused some drama between him and Giudice in the past.
“There was a narrative going on around [Giudice’s fans the] Tre Huggers that I was super unfair to Teresa and that I hated her,” Cohen recalled. “Teresa and I have always had a really good relationship. But I think that there was a period of time where she was getting confused by what the Tre Huggers were saying online.”
He added, “If you look at certain clips in isolation, you may think, ‘What does this guy think of me?’ or ‘Why is he being like this with me on the show?’”
Cohen said he and Giudice had a “very serious” conversation before she went “away” to jail in 2015. “We really talked it out and it was great,” he added.
