Andy Cohen revealed his past email from Carole Radziwill at the start of their former feud. He also addressed if Vicki Gunvalson has outgrown Real Housewives of Orange County, as fans are responding “negatively” to her attitude in the new season.
When Carole left Real Housewives of New York in a past season, she seemingly suggested that Andy chose the side of Carole’s enemy Bethenny Frankel. The reunion was awkward as Andy appeared to defend Bethenny, and Carole refused to let him get away with it. Before that time, Bethenny, Andy and Carole were all friends.
On Carlos King‘s YouTube channel, Andy addressed his past feud with Carole.
“I got an email from her at the end of her last season that said, ‘Don’t speak to me again,'” Andy recalled.
Carlos King then asked Andy if Vicki has outgrown RHOC. (In the new season, Vicki was brought back for the first time in many years. Some fans, however, feel that she think she’s superior to her costars.)
“I think [in some] ways that she’s really over some of the stuff that comes with being a housewife. The viewers are responding really negatively to that. And that’s fair,” he said.
Last month on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy spoke to the backlash against Vicki on the new season.
“In terms of Vicki on Orange County, what I like about it is that we have been watching this woman for 20 years, and you are seeing her … at a different life stage,” he said. “And yes, she’s at a different life stage than many of the other women, but you know, you see her reflecting on her life a lot on that show. She regrets divorcing Don. She is dealing with some ailments.”
“So maybe for the viewers, it’s not vibing because she’s at such a different place than [other castmembers] or whatever,” he continued. “She is an elder. She’s 20 years older than them, but I find that interesting.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air Thursday nights on Bravo.
