Andy Cohen Faces Backlash as 'RHOBH' Fans Slam Host Over Dorit Treatment

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans have called out the show's reunion host Andy Cohen after he was seen yawning during an interview with Dorit Kemsley.

The ladies of the Bravo show sat down with Cohen, who is also executive producer of the Housewives franchises, for the Season 12 reunion after a very dramatic season which saw multiple fallouts between the cast members.

The first of three reunion specials aired on Wednesday, October 12, and saw Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Sutton Stracke, Garcelle Beauvais, Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton join Kemsley and Cohen to break down the season.

During the episode, Kemsley was seen discussing her October 2021 burglary, during which three male intruders broke into her home while she and her two children—Jagger and Phoenix—slept.

While she was talking, Cohen could be seen trying to suppress a yawn—a moment that did not go unnoticed by fans at home or Kemsley herself.

Upon seeing what Cohen was doing, Kemsley asked him: "Am I boring you?"

Cohen immediately began to apologize as Kemsley asked: "Are you kidding me? Again? Two years in a row, Andy?"

The show then cut to a flashback from the Season 11 reunion where Cohen was also caught yawning while Kemsley was talking.

In that clip, Kemsley also asked: "Am I boring you?" to which Cohen responded: "I'm sorry, I just swallowed a yawn. But you are not boring me."

Cutting back to the Season 12 reunion, Kemsley said to Cohen: "This topic is a lot harder for me than it is for you," referring to her burglary.

After the scene aired on Bravo, fans rushed to social media to call out Cohen for yawning while Kemsley was talking about such a sensitive topic.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer posted: "Andy yawning when Dorit was explaining what happened to her was very disrespectful #RHOBH."

"Andy yawning while Dorit was talking about the robbery feels shady, especially since some people have been speculating it was staged #RHOBH," wrote another, as a third posted: "Not Andy yawning at Dorit AGAIN! And while she's talking about her burglary! I would have walked off #RHOBH."

Other fans found the moment more humorous and lighthearted, with one viewers evening claiming the scene was "priceless."

"This is priceless. Andy yawning during one of Dorit's monologues for the second year in a row. #RHOBH," wrote the amused fan.

"Andy yawning again while dorit was talking was wildly hilarious. She has gotten so much better about talking so much but lmaooooooo #RHOBH," added another.

Newsweek has contacted representatives for Kemsley and Cohen for comment.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion will continue October 19 on Bravo at 9 p.m. ET.
