Andy Cohen won’t get the last word if Carole Radziwill has anything to do with it.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star slammed the Bravo honcho on X Tuesday after he claimed she was the anonymous “RHONY” star who shaded him in his recent New York Magazine profile.
“Someone can make a truthful observation &there’s always one short-ish dude waiting to be offended,” she snarkily tweeted.
“At this point why would any normal person use their name? They’re all so vindictive which I believe is the point of the quote& confirmed by Andy’s nasty response.🙈.”
In several other follow-up tweets, Cohen’s former friend called him “condescending” and “absurd” and said he should apologize for calling her out.
Radziwill’s tweets are a response to a conversation Cohen, 56, had during Monday’s episode of his SiriusXM radio show, “Radio Andy.” He was asked about the anonymous “RHONY” alum quoted in his recent “New York Magazine” profile.
“It’s Carole Radziwill, no question,” he confidently told his co-host, John Hill. “It’s the one mean quote in there, and it’s the only anonymous quote. There are 18 reasons why it’s Carole.”
Cohen also said he thought it was “so weird” that Carole would have kept herself anonymous — especially after all the times she’s shaded him publicly.
“Carole has said a lot of unkind things about me that she has tweeted and been quoted about. So, I was like, why are you going off the record here?” he said. “It was so weird to me. I didn’t understand.”
He added, “And also, we haven’t really fired that many New York Housewives. It’s very obvious.”
In the article, the unnamed former Bravo star dissed “RHONY,” saying, “The show went from silly humor about middle-aged women getting drunk and being delusional about their status and having funny, petty arguments, to Housewives investigating and doing opposition research and making up false storylines and leaking stories on each other.”
The person then went on to critique Cohen’s baby shower — specifically the part when Lisa Rinna encouraged people to get up and “dance for Andy and his baby.”
“I just thought it was such a cringe moment,” the reality star explained. “Because that’s the dynamic. Everyone just dances for Andy Cohen.”
Cohen and the journalist used to be close, but their relationship seemed to hit some bumps as time passed and drama grew between the “RHONY” cast.
It came to a head during the season 10 reunion in 2018, when Radziwill accused Cohen of siding with Bethenny Frankel as they feuded over their struggling relationship.
She announced her departure from the show in July 2018 after six seasons.
