Brandi Glanville Slams Andy Cohen After His Investigation Sparking Drama In Their Already Complicated Relationship
Brandi Glanville is in the news yet again after Bravo concludes its investigation against host and producer, Andy Cohen.
Andy Cohen was incredibly excited to have the legendary host as a guest on his show, and maybe it was that excitement that drove him to questions he thought would make an impact. Looking back on it, he regrets asking very personal questions that might have made Oprah uncomfortable.
Andy Cohen Is Embarrassed Of His Weird Question To Oprah
Over ten years after Andy Cohen’s faux pas with Oprah Winfrey on national television, the Bravo host is finally apologizing for his inappropriate comment. The iconic host attended the Watch What Happens Live show back in 2013, and while Andy Cohen remembers that moment fondly and had a lot of fun, he deeply regrets one of his actions that night.
In what was probably meant to be a funny question but quickly turned inappropriate, the host made the mistake of asking Oprah a very intimate question about her sex life, worded in a very awkward way. He asked if she had ever “taken a dip in the lady pond,” which meant if he had ever had sex with a woman, to which Oprah curtly replied, “No, no, I have not. Thank you.”
He now realizes the question crossed a line and wishes he hadn’t said it.
“[Interviewing Oprah Winfrey] was a huge moment for me and for the show,” Andy Cohen shared. “I’m such a fan of Oprah. It meant so much to me that Oprah Winfrey did the show. It’s gone brilliantly and I turn around and ask her if she’s ever had sex with a woman. I mean, couldn’t I leave it alone?”
He was also very embarrassed because Oprah “didn’t know” what he meant when he used the strange term “lady pond.”
“I thought I explained it pretty well there,” Andy laughed, “but listen, I was so grateful that Oprah did the show and I still am.”
Andy Cohen Was Recently Accused Of Inappropriate Behavior
While Andy Cohen has taken responsibility for his inappropriate comment towards Oprah Winfrey, there have been a few other accusations of questionable behavior going around recently.

Andy Cohen Pleads With Bravo Executives To Keep His Job Following Workplace Accusations
Sources claim Andy Cohen is desperate to keep his hosting duties following several accusations from fellow Bravo stars.
“In a video sent by Mr. Cohen to Ms. Glanville in 2022, Mr. Cohen — appearing obviously inebriated — boasted of his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via Facetime,” the letter reads.
Andy Cohen responded to that, apologizing but also claiming that it was simply a joke and that Glanville knew that.
“The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi. It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke. That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize,” he wrote on X/Twitter.
