Andy Cohen is starting 2026 by throwing a little shade.
The famed Bravo host blasted âthat margarita ladyâ Bethenny Frankelâs âsuffocatingâ TikTok videos.
During the Jan. 5 episode of âAndy Cohen Live,â Cohen and his guest, John Hill, discussed social media chatter about the formerâs New Yearâs Eve Live special.
âI also went on TikTok just to see what the kids were saying about New Yearâs Eve,â Cohen shared.
âBoy, that margarita lady. Oh my god, itâs suffocating. I couldnât,â Cohen, 57, added, seemingly referring to Frankel, who sold her Skinnygirl Cocktails in 2011 for an estimated $100 million.
Hill, 47, claimed the former âReal Housewives of New York Cityâ star posts âlike 14 [videos] a dayâ on TikTok, resulting in him âblockingâ Frankel.
The âWhat Happens Live with Andy Cohenâ host added, âShe doesnât come up on my Instagram. I donât even know if sheâs on Instagram.â
A rep for Frankel declined to comment to Page Six.
Frankel starred on the âRHONYâ on Seasons 1-3 and 7-11. She also fronted two spin-off series, âBethenny Ever Afterâ and âBethenny & Fredrik.â
After the New York Times bestselling authorâs time on Bravo concluded, she and Cohen began feuding over the formerâs outspoken comments about how âtoxicâ the reality shows were.
During a 2022 episode of âWWHL,â Cohen accused Frankel of âtrashingâ the âReal Housewivesâ franchise.
âI actually havenât been trashing the show; Iâve said it wasnât for me, âcause I do think that it was toxic âand Iâm entitled to not want to be there but still want to talk about it,â she told the live audience.
The following year, the former âShark Tankâ star encouraged reality stars to join the writers and actorsâ strike because they were also being financially exploited.
Frankel, who claimed she was only paid $7,250 for her first season of âRHONY,â said she hasnât seen a cent from the series since.
âI myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual,â she explained. âSo, either Iâm missing something or weâre getting screwed, too.â
In response, Cohen said Frankelâs âreality reckoningâ was a âsustained attackâ against him.
