Kathy Griffin appears willing to mend fences with Andy Cohen after years of public animosity, but the host of Watch What Happens Live isn’t reciprocating. Sources reveal that Griffin, who previously labeled Cohen “deeply toxic” following her removal from CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live in 2017, has undergone personal growth and is open to reconciliation. An insider notes, “Kathy’s grown a lot since the fallout. She’d even appear on Andy’s show if he asked. She’s not holding a grudge anymore — she’s ready to move forward.”
In contrast, Cohen is reportedly hesitant to confront Griffin, as fears loom over what she might divulge during a potential reunion. A Bravo source shares, “Andy’s terrified. He knows if Kathy’s on his set, she’ll speak her truth.” The prospect of such a candid discussion could lead to a ratings triumph, but it also leaves Cohen feeling vulnerable, as he prioritizes the careful curation of his public persona.
The long-standing feud between the two, which initially stemmed from their friendship on the Bravo network, has since taken a personal turn. “It’s personal now,” another source indicated. Cohen’s concerns about his image seem to outweigh any potential benefits of rekindling their professional relationship, as one network insider commented, “He’d rather keep his distance than risk being exposed on live TV.”
Should a reunion occur on camera, it would likely become one of the most viewed episodes in Watch What Happens Live history, though it may lead to Cohen’s departure from the hosting role. Many in the television industry are eager to see whether this unlikely reconciliation could unfold, perhaps highlighting the often complicated dynamics of fame and forgiveness in the entertainment world.
