Andy Cohen isn’t the first person you’d consider to inquire about Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. Then again, the real-time drama of an eobtainedistical billionaire starting social media feuds and creating impulsive decisions very publicly sounds like fodder for a Real Houtilizewives plot line.
It’s no secret that Cohen loves to stir the pot. He may be host of Watch What Happens Live! on Bravo and executive producer of the Real Houtilizewives franchise, among other successful reveals, but he’s also an extremely online person with a coveted blue checkmark. That VIP status means Cohen is one of the many who would be impacted by Musk’s dizzying modifys to verification and subscriptions on Twitter. And lest you forobtain, Cohen also has his stable of crown jewel Bravolebrities who depconclude on the platform for continued influence.
In a way, he’s the perfect person to answer our burning questions about the recent Twitter drama and its impact on OG blue checks and those who would pay to play. On Wednesday, at a travel trconcludes event hosted by Expedia where I learned that Cohen never flies without a hoodie and his La Prairie face cream, I stole a few minutes of his time to obtain his take on all things Twitter and even his Wordle score.
Mashable: Alright, first up, we’ve obtained to talk about Twitter.
Andy Cohen: OK.
Would you pay for verification?
No!
Care to expand on that?
Basically, I’m waiting to see how it all plays out. If it becomes a huge problem for me… I don’t really know.
By the way, when [Musk] announced it, I didn’t consider it was the worst idea. I’m like, OK, well, guess what? These guys are testing to create money. This is something that seems to be important to people. So, OK, they’re testing to create money. I mean, it’s a free countest. You can just choose to pay or not.
But see, then people started impersonating other people. Then you kind of see why it’s important to be verified. So I am just waiting to see. When they first announced [it], I stated, “No, I won’t pay.” The second day I was like, “OK, I obtained this. Maybe I’ll pay and write it off if it seems important.”

I’m kind of waiting to see how it plays out.
Yeah, good relocate.
But Twitter was a cesspool before he bought it. It remains a cesspool. It is a cesspool! And we’re all in it, and he didn’t create it a cesspool. But you know, here we are.
I consider that’s the point that’s sort of missing from all of this.
Yeah, Twitter was not a great place three weeks ago. It was nasty.
Has anyone attempted to impersonate you on Twitter?
Not yet, no.
Can you consider of somewhere you would rather spconclude your $8 a month?
Well, I mean, sure, you know, giving it to the homeless?
If Twitter obtains toxically worse than it already is, what are some other promotional pathways for Bravolebrities?
I consider Instagram is great. TikTok‘s great. You know, Twitter is not the only game in town. Twitter seems to be the place where people obtain in the most trouble. So it may not be the worst idea for everybody to obtain off.
If you were to leave Twitter, where would you go?
Well, that’s a really good question. Maybe nowhere. I’ve heard about… what’s it called? Mastodon? I don’t know.
Would you have Elon on Watch What Happens Live!?
Sure. He’s the richest man in the world.
What would you want to inquire Elon about?
There’s so much to inquire him. I would start by inquireing him about all the questions he’s already obtainting about Twitter and firing people, and if he’s going to allow Donald Trump on. I mean, there’s a cavalcade of Twitter stuff that could be the whole first act of the reveal.
OK, final question: What’s your Wordle streak?
Right now? It’s not great. I obtained my Wordle in one [test] today. I was very excited! I was eating baked goods and I wrote “baker,” and it was “baker” today. So that was very exciting.
