Andy Cohen Reacts to Rumor Claiming He Wants Lisa Vanderpump Back on RHOBH and Addresses Her Run-ins With Kyle, Plus Teases RHOP Reunion and Hints Karen Was Involved

Andy Cohen reacted to a rumor claiming he’s hoping to see Lisa Vanderpump return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Tuesday’s episode of his SiriusXM radio show.

Days after addressing the recent taping of the Real Housewives of Potomac season nine reunion, which Karen Huger, 61, did not attend, the 56-year-old Watch What Happens Live host addressed the idea that he wanted Lisa, 64, back on RHOBH while also giving a nod to her frequent run-ins with Kyle Richards, 56.

“It was repeated all over the place that I’m trying to get Lisa Vanderpump back on [RHOBH]. Now, let me restate my abject love for Lisa Vanderpump, but I don’t know where the rumor came from, and I don’t see her coming back to that show,” Andy revealed on the January 20 episode of Andy Cohen Live as co-host John Hill agreed.

“She doesn’t need to go back. You guys don’t need her back. She’s got her own thing going on,” John noted.

“I know,” Andy replied. “Also, I mean, she and [Dorit Kemsley] and Kyle are, you know, I guess she’s kind of friends with [Garcelle Beauvais], but like I don’t even think she has any desire, or they have any desire to interact.”

That said, Andy Cohen admitted he “[loves]” when Lisa and Kyle run into one another.

“They’ll kind of send each other their bill for their drink … I think Vanderpump either paid Kyle’s bill once or sent her her bill. I could be getting that story wrong, but they always have a funny, it seems like when they run into each other publicly, they have a little shade with each other, which I appreciate,” he explained.

Meanwhile, during the January 13 episode of Andy Cohen Live, Andy teased the upcoming reunion for RHOP.

“What do I give away? I will say this: I think it was the best reunion of the [RHOP], either ever or since the reunion where [Monique Samuels] brought the binder,” he described. “It was so unexpectedly funny but also it really moved the needle in terms of storywise with a few people. It was very surprising and I once again feel like a broken record hyping up reunions, but it was really good.”

Continuing on, after noting that the reunions for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and The Real Housewives of New York City were equally as “outstanding,” Andy confirmed that Karen did not attend the reunion because she was in rehab and suggested she was involved in some way.

“[But there] was some movement in the Karen Huger camp, I don’t want to give anything away, but it was great,” he shared. “[And] I will say, watching the back half of that season under the lens of what we know about Karen’s, the body cam and the verdict, it’s fascinating.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c, and The Real Housewives of Potomac season nine airs Sundays at 8/7c, both on Bravo.
