Andy Cohen is making it clear that he has nothing to do with the firings of four "Vanderpump Rules" stars, but he says it was "the right decision."
"There's so much happening in the Bravo universe. I will say this: So much talk about 'Vanderpump Rules,' and then of course the reunion ended up airing last night. I will say this about what happened: I absolutely support Bravo's decision. I think it was the right decision," he told listeners Wednesday on SiriusXM's Radio Andy.
On Tuesday, Bravo confirmed that Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni would not be returning to the hit reality show due to past racist behavior.
Bravo executives didn't run the decision by Andy — nor would he expect them to.
"I want to remind people because I've been getting so many tweets and messages and whatever about 'Vanderpump Rules' and about 'Southern Charm' and other shows," Andy continued. "I am not, I don't — I feel like I remind people this all the time — I'm not in charge of programming at Bravo anymore. I am not an executive producer of 'Vanderpump Rules.' I don't have anything to do with the show except I love it and that I host the reunions."
Stassi and Kristen have come under fire over the last week for past racist behavior, including an incident brought to light by Faith Stowers, who appeared on seasons 4 and 6. Faith — one of only two black cast members in the show's history — reminded fans that Stassi and Kristen called the cops on her in 2018 after falsely accusing her of a crime. The two women even boasted about the incident on social media and on a podcast.
They've since apologized.
Faith now feels "vindicated" that Stassi and Kristen — who are reportedly "distraught" — have been fired.
During the fallout from Stassi and Kristen's actions, racist tweets from Brett and Max resurfaced.
