For weeks, we’ve all been recovering from rumors that Andy Cohen’s nudes went viral. Basically, an X-rated photo of a bare body was circulating social media, and apparently it belonged to Andy, whose rumored to be stepping down.

Andy Cohen faces rumors he’s ‘stepping down’

Andy Cohen is facing rumors he’s got a big announcement in April, with many convinced he’s stepping down from Watch What Happens Live. Since 2023, the host has been hit with speculation that he’ll leave Bravo.

However, if his previous comments are anything to go by, Andy is not leaving. At the moment, it’s purely hearsay, and when this happened two years ago, a spokesperson said, “There is absolutely no truth to this story.”

The spokesperson said the rumors were “obviously made up by a source who is not credible.” And in BravoCon 2023, Andy said: “Next year is my 20th year at Bravo. Next year is our 15th year of Watch What Happens Live.”

He added: “I’ll stay as long as Bravo wants me, as I once said to a very long running housewife being on TV is a gift, it is not a right. And so, you know, we’re all fortunate to be on TV for however long we are.”

One main theory is that Andy wants to relocate the show to Los Angeles to buy a bigger garden space for his children, even though he only recently moved to New York so there was more room for his family.

Reality Shrine has contacted Andy Cohen’s representative for comment.

The speculation comes weeks after ‘nudes’ leak

Weeks ago, Andy faced speculation that it was his body whose nudes had leaked. He’s teased that he’s had intimate videos be leaked to the public eye in the past, but this time, he never confirmed nor denied whether they were his.

Heather McDonald alleged on her podcast on March 11: “I heard a rumor, not a lot of details to this rumor, that come April, there’s gonna be some announcement that Andy will be stepping down.”

She added: “I don’t know if that means immediately in April or like in the next year, there’ll be a transition and we’re just letting you people know. I don’t know if that means he’ll only do the reunion but not Watch What Happens Live.

However, she said it could just mean that Andy will still host the radio show, but that there is a possibility of leaving everything behind and simply just co-hosting a talk show in the morning, such as on SiriusXM.
