Andy Cohen has been synonymous with Bravo since its inception, particularly known for The Real Housewives of Orange County. However, recent allegations against the network have raised questions about his position. Notable figures like Leah McSweeney and Bethenny Frankel have publicly criticized Bravo’s practices. Rumors are circulating that Cohen may step away from his role, potentially ending his long-running show Watch What Happens Live.

During an episode of Juicy Scoop, hosts Heather McDonald and Zack Peter discussed a rumor about Cohen’s future. McDonald mentioned that an announcement regarding his departure could be made in April, though the specifics remain unclear. Cohen might either completely exit the network, continue hosting some shows, or take on a different role.

“I heard a rumor, not a lot of details to this rumor, that come April, there’s gonna be some announcement that Andy will be stepping down,” McDonald stated. “I don’t know if that means immediately in April or like in the next year, there’ll be a transition and we’re just letting you people know. I don’t know if that means he’ll only do the reunion but not Watch What Happens Live. Or if it’ll just mean, ‘I’m just doing the radio show, and I’m leaving all this behind, and I’m gonna do a talk show in the morning.’”

“Nobody Wants Him Replaced”

McDonald expressed that there is no desire for Cohen to be replaced. “Nobody wants him replaced. Nobody wants to see some young buck, girl or guy, replace him on Watch What Happens Live,” she remarked. Peter added that he also heard the rumor of Cohen’s potential departure but lacked clarity on what “stepping down” would entail.

“My understanding was the announcement is coming in April, but we don’t know what, and all I got was he’s stepping down, but I didn’t get follow-up details as to what stepping down meant,” he explained. “Maybe it’s gonna be like this is the final season of Watch What Happens Live … [or] maybe they’re gonna move Watch What Happens Live to Peacock and try to reinvent it.”
