Make a joyful noise and sing “Hallelujah,” for Carole Radziwill hath returned to the flock. Radziwill made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! on August 4, making her first appearance on
Bravo in seven years. The episode’s official guests were Las Culturistas’s Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, ahead of their comedy awards show, The Las Culturistas Culture Awards, airing on Bravo on August 5. Cohen had the two Bravo fans play a game to guess which mystery Housewife was in the studio, which they failed at. Who would guess that Radziwill, who has been feuding with Cohen since her departure from Real Housewives of New York in 2018, would turn up at the Clubhouse? Radziwill talked about which Housewives she still regularly sees (none), however, she did recently run into Luann de Lesseps and Ramona Singer at a party, and Radziwill said, “Literally, it was like we were in a scene — they should have had cameras.” She even busted out a pretty accurate Ramona impression, saying, “Ohmigod, ohmigod! I’m so great! I’m doing so great! I have a boyfriend.”

Radziwill and Cohen knew each other prior to Radziwill’s time on Bravo; the two fell out following the season-ten RHONY reunion, during which she accused Cohen of favoring Bethenny Frankel, whom she was feuding with at the time. Cohen said during the reunion that both Radziwill and Frankel “bashed each other” on the show, and Radziwill, who didn’t feel as though she “bashed” Frankel, said Cohen was “full of shit.” Then, while on Bravo’s Play by Play on September 25, 2018, Cohen said, “It was very Trumpian of [Radziwill], and I was very surprised by that because what show is she watching? All I was doing was pointing out, yeah, you both have been talking shit about each other.” Radziwill, a virulent Trump hater, then replied on Twitter, “I stand by #FOS,” adding, “Trumpian is what @Andy did. Created a false equivalent. He said we both bashed each other ‘all season.’ Look at the clips. I was in the same outfit a black top. B/c it was all the last episodes in interviews taped 2 weeks before the reunion.”

The two have been at each other’s necks since. Cohen said in the 2021 Dave Quinn book Not All Diamonds and Rosé that he was upset at Radziwill’s exit because “I really felt like I had changed her life,” and Radziwill clapped back that “Housewives changed Andy Cohen’s life, not mine.” Then, an anonymous Housewife in a 2024 New York Magazine Cohen profile said that “The show went from silly humor about middle-aged women getting drunk and being delusional about their status and having funny, petty arguments, to Housewives investigating and doing opposition research and making up false story lines and leaking stories on each other and trying to get one another fired.” Cohen responded, “It’s not even a question that it’s Carole.” But now, just one year later, Radziwill and Cohen have patched things up. “This is so crazy, by the way, to be back,” Radziwill said upon entering the Clubhouse. “Radzi,” Cohen responded, “it’s been a minute!” And how long can we make peacetimes last? Long enough to get her back on a new and in-crisis RHONY?
