Is Andy Cohen in hot water for bringing Rhyheim Shabazz on Watch What Happens Live as a bartender? Supposedly, Bravo execs are clutching their pearls that the adult film star appeared on the late-night program.
If true, this would be pretty salacious and another example of Andy getting in trouble behind the scenes. The only issue is that the story is coming from unnamed (and probably unreliable) sources.
Sources have things to say about Andy Cohen’s latest WWHL booking
Andy had Rhyheim behind the bar on March 13. He was bartending while Anitta and Uzo Aduba appeared as the guests. There have been hundreds and hundreds of guest bartenders across WWHL’s 15-year run. They only get about 15 seconds of screentime, but “insiders” told Radar Online that the higher-ups felt like including Rhyheim was a bad move.
“They’re livid,” the source claimed. “This is not the direction we want the show moving in – it’s reckless.”
“The show is supposed to be cheeky and fun, not full-blown NSFW,” the insider continued, adding that Andy may have “gone too far.”
Another source, whom the outlet claimed was an “executive,” dismissed claims that Andy could be facing backlash for booking Rhyheim. Consequently, they chopped it up to the fact that Andy can get away with whatever he wants.
“He’s the golden goose. He books who he wants – and he knows Bravo wouldn’t dare stop him,” the insider allegedly said.
These accusations also come right as the “reality reckoning” has started getting renewed attention. Additionally, there’s a former Housewives producer who became an adult film star running around on podcasts, accusing the network of icing him out over his side hustle.
Plus, there’s also the former RHONY star suing Bravo and calling them out for creating a troublesome work environment. With all of that in mind, these “insiders” will probably keep saying whatever they can to piggyback off the trend of bashing Andy and Bravo.
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday-Thursday on Bravo. It can be streamed on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
