UPDATE: Former star of Real Housewives of New York City, Carole Radziwill, has officially reconciled with Andy Cohen after an intense eight-year feud. This surprising reunion comes as Radziwill attends BravoCon in Las Vegas, where she is experiencing an overwhelming outpouring of support from fans.
Radziwill, who exited the franchise in 2018, expressed her astonishment at the loyalty of the Bravo fandom while speaking exclusively to Decider at Caesars Forum. “It’s quite overwhelming because I’d forgotten how the Bravo fandom is really very loyal and full of love,” she shared. The excitement of fans has reminded her of the intense public spotlight she once enjoyed.
The rekindling of Radziwill’s friendship with Cohen is noteworthy, especially given their highly publicized fallout after the RHONY Season 10 reunion, where she felt Cohen sided with Bethenny Frankel. Their relationship deteriorated over the years, marked by media exchanges that kept the tension alive. “We were very publicly beefing for about eight years,” Radziwill recalled, describing the situation as “crazy.”
However, after a tense moment in the media about two years ago, Radziwill took the initiative to reach out to Cohen. “I texted him and I said, ‘what are we doing? Why are we doing this?'” Radziwill explained. Overcoming her initial nerves, she was relieved when Cohen responded almost immediately to discuss their issues.
While specific details of their conversation remain private, Radziwill emphasized that the reconciliation was necessary. “A lot of the animosity, the angst of leaving the show, and miscommunication have really—over time—been replaced with mad respect for him and what he built here in this community,” she stated.
Reflecting on their past, Radziwill fondly remembered their early friendship, filled with laughter and social gatherings prior to the show’s inception. “He was a really funny guy, even before Watch What Happens Live,” she said. “I’ve always respected him. I’ve always liked him. It’s been really nice to have that friendship back.”
As fans continue to celebrate this unexpected reunion at BravoCon, the implications for both Radziwill and Cohen’s futures in the Bravo community remain exciting. Viewers are eager to see how this renewed friendship may influence their respective journeys moving forward.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Radziwill and Cohen navigate their relationship in the public eye.
