Fans Call Out "Disappointing" Andy Cohen Over RHOP Reunion, Claim He Was "Gaslighting" Monique Samuels and Praise Production For Altercation Footage

Andy Cohen is on blast from fans after Sunday’s airing of the second part of The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion.

The reunion ringmaster took just as much of a beating as the RHOP ladies on Sunday as fans of the franchise aired out their grievances for what they perceived to be some insufficient questioning.

During part two of the reunion, Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard-Bassett were taken to task for their epic altercation this season, and fans felt Monique was grilled perhaps a bit more. These fans slammed Andy for some of the questions he chose to ask Monique as Candiace walked off stage in tears.

“Andy stop looking so confused. You / Bravo didn’t allow us to watch Monique processing through her emotions[,]” one fan tweeted, posting a screenshot of Andy’s expressions from the event.

Many fans then called out the Watch What Happens Live host for “gaslighting” Monique by making it seem as if she wasn’t telling the full truth. The RHOP viewers also pointed out production’s editing in clips from the fight to corroborate Monique’s re-telling of events.

During one particular segment from the reunion, Monique stated that Candiace had her hands in her face before things got physical, and she implied that was partially what led to the escalation of events. Andy denied this claim from Monique, but then production showed a clip of the scene that supported Monique’s claim.

@Andy it’s disappointing that you’re gaslighting Monique about the fight. Footage doesn’t lie,” a user tweeted. 

I’m honestly shocked at @Andy. He was looking real one sided last night,” wrote another user. “I wonder if his views are still the same cause the editors came through for Monique. They played back everything she was saying.

“Andy really just said that there is no footage of the glass, so what did the producers just show[?]” tweeted another viewer, adding a “confused” GIF with their question.

The third and final part of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion airs next Sunday at 9/8c on Bravo.
