During a new episode of Andy Cohen Live on the Radio Andy channel, Andy discussed his concerns about Tom Sandoval getting booed, as well as some juicy tidbits about who didn’t hook up during the weekend.
“I was really upset,” Andy revealed. “I’m jumping around. I was about my thoughts about the weekend.”
Andy’s first point of concern was Tom Sandoval, a controversial figure among Bravo fans. Andy admitted, “I was not happy that Tom Sandoval… I had text him the day before. I said, ’I’m really worried you’re gonna get booed. Do you have any kind of plan?’” Comparing Tom’s situation to Lisa Rinna’s experience from the previous year, he expressed his desire to see Tom welcomed back into the Bravo community.
“It’s been a year of him being booed,” Andy said. “So like at some point, we’re gonna have to let him back into society to assimilate with the world. You know what I mean?”
Despite Tom’s rocky history with the fans, Andy was pleased to report that he saw a change in Tom’s mood throughout the weekend.
“I saw him today, and he was in such a great mood,” Andy shared. “I think he even wound up the weekend getting a ton of fan love as it went on.”
Acknowledging Tom’s past mistakes, Andy hoped that people might eventually forgive and forget, saying, “I think people kind of saw him, and he made a terrible stupid mistake and hurt a lot of people. And, you know, at some point, I think people will maybe not hurl things at him. Time will tell.”
Moving on to lighter topics, Andy also dished about the romantic escapades of the “Southern Charm” cast during BravoCon. “My favorite thing is every morning checking in with the ‘Southern Charm’ guys to see who they were flirting with, who they were trying to sleep with,” Andy revealed with a mischievous grin.
While he didn’t want to reveal any hookup details, he did spill the beans on who didn’t hook up during the event. “I’m not gonna blow any hook up,” Andy emphasized. “I’m gonna let the people who, yeah, I will tell you who didn’t hook up.”
Andy disclosed that Brynn Whitfield had her eye on Shep, a member of the “Southern Charm” cast. However, it seems that their potential romance hit a roadblock. “I think Shep might have been a little tipsy golden retriever,” Andy quipped, implying that Shep’s inebriation may have been a factor.
“I think she was like, ’This isn’t gonna happen,’” Andy continued. He added a hilarious anecdote about Shep’s quirky advances, saying, “I think on the way over to the Bravo Awards, he started asking her about whether they should like procreate or something. So, yeah, that didn’t happen.”
BravoCon, with its blend of drama and laughter, offered fans and stars alike unforgettable moments. Andy Cohen’s recap on “Andy Cohen Live” showcased the diverse experiences and emotions that unfolded during the weekend, from the unexpected warmth towards Tom Sandoval to the intriguing dynamics among the “Southern Charm” cast.
