Andy Cohen BLASTED Larsa Pippen For Attacking A Child – Hear the Outrageous Exchange
Andy Cohen has opened up about losing his cool with Larsa Pippen during the filming of the Real Housewives of Miami reunion.
The Watch What Happens Live host set the record straight during Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live,” admitting to shouting at the reality star over comments she made to co-star, Nicole Martin, during the season.
“[I] do want to give you a little more inside tea, which is everyone was speculating after the Housewives of Miami reunion,” he shared. “I posted something saying, ‘I yelled at Larsa [Pippen] and I apologize, Larsa.’ And so people have been trying to figure out, well, what did I yell at her about? What did I get so heated about? And I, to be honest with you, I kind of remembered, but then when I saw the clips, I was like, ah-ha. That was it.”
The Bravo boss explained that he didn’t like it when Larsa, 48, pointed out that the 3-year-old son Nicole shares with fiancé, Anthony Lopez, was born out of wedlock.
“I usually don’t editorialize and I did with The Housewives of Miami. Basically Larsa was kind of — it seemed to me — weaponizing to Nicole that her child was born out of wedlock,” he explained. “Like she was saying… I could be calling out that your son was born out of wedlock. Now when you say, I could be using something as a weapon, you’re basically doing it.”
Andy, 54, went on—”And it was a little bit of semantics because Nicole kept saying, ‘You called my son a bastard.’ And she said, ‘I didn’t, I just said he was born out of wedlock.’ And to me, to even bring it up… So then I said, ‘Well, that was an asshole thing to say to her,’ and I was pretty heated about it.”
Andy explained that he felt it necessary to speak up as a single dad to 4-year-old son, Benjamin, and 10-month old daughter, Lucy.
“And it will come as no surprise to anyone why I got so heated. I have two children. I’m a single dad of two children,” he said. “So there is no other person, there is no other parent. But I got super sensitive to the idea of that being weaponized. And that’s why I jumped in there, and there you go.”
Andy’s explanation comes after the Bravo executive shared an inside peek at the heated back-and-forth while filming the reunion, in January. Andy gave a behind-the scenes look at the drama when he teased the tense moment with Larsa on his Instagram Story.
“We’re still shooting and I didn’t have screaming at Larsa on my bingo card today,” Andy said in his posted video.
Larsa Pippen could be heard off-camera asking— “Are you going to apologize?”
“I’m sorry, Larsa,” he said. “I don’t like screaming at women. I said it on the break, ‘I don’t wanna scream at women.’ Anyway, sorry.”
Real Housewives of Miami cast member, Lisa Hochstein, 40, chimed in amid the drama, reminding Andy—”You screamed at me last year,” which prompted a second apology from he host.
The Real Housewives of Miami is currently streaming on Peacock.
