Griffin went on to suggest Cohen had something to do with the fact that her reality show, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, was taken off Bravo in 2010. Griffin said the guy often decided the entire slate at Bravo, and also gave himself a talk show that “magically” got renewed every year.

A rep for Cohen did not immediately respond to tabloid’s request for comment.

Griffin fired back on Twitter, saying the stars have known each other for years. As such her reality show aired for six seasons from 2005 to 10 on Bravo, where Cohen was formerly the head of development.
“Even when it’s on tape, there are doubters? He is NOT kidding w paps,” Griffin said. She had likewise added how “deeply misogynistic” his boss was for those ten years.
The following day, Griffin uploaded a 17-minute long YouTube video titled Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story and asserted Cohen lives “to take women down.”
At the end of the month, Cohen shared about the occurrence on an episode of his SiriusXM radio show, Andy Cohen Live, and said he had no idea his stunt would misfire the way it did.
Cohen explained he was loomed by TMZ as he was about to have lunch with Watch What Happens Live writer and radio co-host John Hill. In order to “avoid getting involved” with the TMZ paparazzi, Cohen said he had chosen to quote the great Mariah Carey, which was funny in his mind and stupid too.
‘Something that is so innocuous and dumb, so it’s the classic ‘I don’t know her.’
Cohen admitted to failing at his Mariah impression. Most recently, the 51-year-old spoke about their vendetta in an interview with Howard Stern and explained that he had moved on.
