Andy Cohen is speaking out on his real housewife franchises. As previously reported fans of his Atlanta franchise were hit with a double whammy; the RHOA reunion was postponed amid COVID-19 concerns and Bravo boss Andy announced just days later that he’d taken ill with the coronavirus.

Andy now says he’s self-isolating away from his 1-year-old son whose being cared for by a nanny. He also revealed that he had “horrible symptoms” that included fatigue, losing his sense of smell and also his appetite.

“It’s working its way through my body. Yesterday was horrible,” said Andy on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “I have these moments every day where I feel, ‘Oh wait, I think I’m totally better,’ then 10 minutes later I’m like, ‘Ugh.’”

Andy also called into Amy Phillips’ show on his Radio Andy Sirius XM station. According to Andy, those rumors floating around on social media that the “Real Housewives of NYC” and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” are going to be released early are untrue.

Why? Well because the coronavirus has slowed down post-production where things like editing and color-correcting the episodes take place.

“The issue is there’s only a certain amount of episodes totally color-corrected and locked right now, for both of those shows, I think for New York there’s like, eight or nine done and for Beverly Hills, there’s like, five done,” Andy revealed. “Something like that.”

“If we dunk them all out now, we need to have a plan in place. We’re working on having a plan in place where people will be editing remotely. It’s going to be a slower process, it’s going to take longer,” said Andy.

He also added that they’re “really behind in the Atlanta edit” and he’s hopeful that they can shoot the reunion soon.

“If we released all those now, we would wind up screwing ourselves in the end, so that’s the issue,” Andy said. “The truth of the matter is, if this is going to go on for a while, just think of how much more we’re going to be ready for New York in ten days when it premieres! I just think we need to be focused. We’re really behind in the Atlanta edit, we were supposed to be shooting the reunion today for Atlanta. Obviously, that’s not happening. Hopefully we will be able to shoot it soon.”

Get well soon, Andy!

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
