Andy Cohen Addresses ‘RHOP’ Season Five Reunion Backlash And Blames It On Editing!

Bravo viewers slammed Andy Cohen for coming across biased during the Real Housewives of Potomac season five reunion and leaning in favor of Candiace Dillard and Gizelle Bryant against Monique Samuels. 

During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with guests Rachel Lindsey and Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie Drew Sidora, Cohen addressed the backlash he received for hosting the RHOP reunion taping.

Cohen asked Lindsey,  “Were you furious with me like everyone else was at my reunion hosting?” 

The former “Bachelorette” responded, “I wasn’t furious. That’s not the right word. I did think you were more on Candiace’s side than Monique’s,” she admitted. “You were a little bit … You held her feet to the fire more than …”

Andy admitted that he received the same criticism quite a bit and claims that he was trying to push for the reunion to be four parts. “I really talked to Candiace, a lot, about her role in this, and the fact that really people think that, a lot of people think that she provoked it, and she said ‘drag me.’ And we talked about that in relation to what Kenya and Porsha went through, and I don’t think enough of that made it in the show, clearly, so there you go,” the explained. “I know a lot of people were very upset.”
