François Arnaud swerved Andy Cohen’s question about his love life on “Watch What Happens Live” Monday.
When the host asked whether Arnaud is “single these days,” the “Heated Rivalry” star replied, “None of your f–king business.”
The actor’s fellow guest, Mary J. Blige, burst into laughter at the harsh response, while Arnaud shrugged and stuck to his silence.
“It’s not [my business], but I try,” Cohen, 57, quipped. “I’ve got to try. Right, Mary?”
Many Instagram users praised Arnaud’s “sassy” response to the Emmy winner probing into his relationship status on Monday.
“You set those boundaries!” one gushed, while another labeled the response “king behavior” RuPaul would “be so proud of.”
A third netizen added, “Best answer ever!!! Let these newly super famous guys live their lives!!!❤️”
Others, however, railed against “rude” Arnaud for “speaking to [Cohen] this way.”
Cohen’s line of questioning came on the heels of Arnaud, 40, being linked to co-star Connor Storrie — and facing intense online harassment over romance rumors.
The duo were spotted at JFK airport together last week.
Storrie, notably, stars in the hit Crave/HBO Max show alongside onscreen love interest Hudson Williams, and many fans are shipping that duo in real-life instead.
Amid rampant headlines, Arnaud has made it clear he values his privacy.
The “Borgias” alum told the Toronto Star over the weekend about his plans to move to “a building with a doorman.”
He acknowledged, “Maybe a little bungalow with street access, not on a gated property, is not the best thing.”
Arnaud said he is also in the process of “unfollowing everyone” on social media.
He noted that while fans have “generally” been “polite and respectful” toward him as the series blows up, some “younger fans … don’t really understand the difference between reality and fiction” and have leveled death threats against him.
Arnaud told the outlet, “I honestly wish they would just rewatch the show, because it doesn’t seem like they got its message.”
