The Real Housewives of New York City<\/em><\/a> alum Bethenny Frankel<\/strong> <\/a>is calling out Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a> for his subtle reaction to the recent allegations made against Bravo.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Andy\u2019s] belittling the alcohol discussion and the racism discussion, which is really shocking honestly, especially right now,\u201d Frankel, 52, claimed during a Thursday, November 2, episode of her \u201cReWives\u201d podcast. \u201cI think he probably just thinks he\u2019s invincible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frankel\u2019s comments came after Cohen, 55, left a laughing crying emoji in the comments section of on an Instagram post<\/a> shared by the account @watchwhatcrappens earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The upload poked fun at the Monday, October 30, Bravo expos\u00e9 published by Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>, which contained allegations of racism against Ramona Singer<\/strong> <\/a>and claims that production was insensitive about Leah McSweeney<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s struggles with alcohol addiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cVanity Fair breaks the news that adults drink and Ramona is racist,\u201d the account wrote, implying that the piece didn\u2019t report anything that wasn\u2019t previously common knowledge.<\/p>\n

Frankel isn\u2019t the only one who was unimpressed by Cohen\u2019s reaction to the social media upload. McSweeney, 41, who spoke to Vanity Fair<\/em> for the expos\u00e9 along with Frankel, shared a screenshot of Cohen\u2019s comment via her Instagram Story on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow. Andy thinks racism and addiction is hilarious. Good to know,\u201d she wrote alongside the photo.<\/p>\n

Vanderpump Rules<\/em><\/a> alum Kristen Doute<\/strong><\/a> also voiced her disappointment with the @watchwhatcrappens post and Cohen\u2019s comment. \u201c\ud83d\ude44 not cool,\u201d Doute, 40, commented on the initial upload before responding, \u201cWow,\u201d to Cohen\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIn honor of Us Weekly\u2019s first-ever Reality TV Stars of the Year issue, we\u2019re rounding up the moments that had Us shook in 2023. As the year of Scandoval, it was no-brainer to name Ariana Madix the No. 1 spot\u00a0\u2014 and give the jaw-dropping, three-part Vanderpump Rules reunion a spot on the list. \u201cI don\u2019t [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Apart from his subtle emoji reaction, Cohen has yet to publicly address the allegations against Bravo. (Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to Cohen for comment.) However, there have been consequences for Singer, 66.<\/p>\n

Singer was removed from the BravoCon lineup earlier this week after Page Six<\/em><\/a> published a screenshot of a text in which she used an abbreviated version of the N-word. The reality TV star had been texting a Page Six<\/em> reporter about a previous Bravo investigation into racist remarks Singer allegedly made<\/a> in front of former costar Eboni K. Williams<\/strong><\/a>. (During the text exchange, Singer denied making the racist comment to Williams, 40.)<\/p>\n

A source exclusively told Us<\/em> on Thursday that Singer and Bravo execs came to a \u201cmutual agreement\u201d that staying away from BravoCon was the best move for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cBravo execs didn\u2019t say she couldn\u2019t come. She had a conversation with them about attending and she said she was not up for it and was too distraught,\u201d the insider shared. The source added that Singer was \u201cvery upset\u201d by the situation<\/a> and plans to \u201clay low right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

A source close to the network, however, told Us<\/em> that Bravo pulled the plug on Singer\u2019s trip to Las Vegas without her input. \u201cRamona was told she is not coming to BravoCon,\u201d the second insider said. \u201cIt was not her choice to not attend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Real Housewives of New York City premiered in 2008, but not every Housewife has gone the distance. The season 1 cast of RHONY included Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Bethenny Frankel, Jill Zarin and Alex McCord. While Kelly Killoren Bensimon joined the cast during season 2, Sonja Morgan became a full-time cast member during [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frankel, meanwhile, said during Thursday\u2019s \u201cReWives\u201d episode that she thinks Cohen should also skip the three-day convention<\/a>, which kicks off Friday, November 3, at the Caesars Forum and the nearby Paris Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndy Cohen is laughing at something regarding racism, why [was he not] asked to leave BravoCon?\u201d Frankel said.<\/p>\n

The SkinnyGirl founder added that the bad Bravo press is giving Cohen a taste of how she and other Housewives have felt in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in Andy\u2019s career, he\u2019s starting to feel what it feels like to be a Housewife,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery day, something you say being written about, no one there to save you, no one there to protect you, you\u2019re ultimately on your own, getting canceled, losing sleep, drinking more than you should because you\u2019re having such anxiety \u2026 it\u2019s really serious.\u201d<\/p>\n
