I have been speculating since last July that Andy Cohen is engaged or perhaps even married. Now TMZ has caught up with Andy and has gotten his response to the speculation. Go watch the interview here and come back and tell me what you think about his reaction to the question.
He sounds really emphatic about Sean being straight and just friends. So much talk about this one guy and him though, seems there usually is some truth to rumors. Not that celebs don’t deny things they are actually doing, but Andy seems to have such bitterness about any gay criticism, he looses all cred about anything, IMO, if we later do have facts they are a couple. It is one thing to refuse to discuss your personal life, lying about it is wrong, especially when you sorta make a platform or on a soap box about it.
I hope he does find a good relationship, but I think in this time of enlightenment, he should not be choosing a guy that will not man up to his sexual preference. Andy has been out too long, to public, for that to be acceptable to him.
I thought Anderson Cooper’s story of him just never talking about being gay because he thought everybody knew anyway, was dishonest BS. He choose not to go public to protect his career. That is understandable. His doing New Year’s Eve with Kathy Griffin was a tell. She seems to prefer gay men as friends and coworkers. I think that was the point and time Anderson was ready to let us consider the possibility he is gay.
I think he really thought people knew but also was protecting his career by not openly admitting to it. It’s understandable to me. Though I’d guessed long ago that he was gay, makes me one of those people (general term) that he thought knew.
While he never shouted it from the roof tops, during his Channel One days is was pretty widely known he was gay. It was when he moved to CNN that the executives wanted him to zip it shut over any personal life talk in fear that is would cause viewership to drop.
I don’t think Sean Avery would have any problem admitting he is gay, if he is.
I never bought the rumors about the engagement, however, Andy’s reaction seems a bit much. Particularly when you consider the questions he forces the housewives to answer during the reunions. Watching it just made me think ‘the lady doth protest too much’. He must be “banging” someone’s husband and is feeling guilty.
Ha! I despise Andy, but strangely, I believe him here. I LOVE that he seems to be chiding the guy for asking him a question Andy would most certainly ask of someone else! What a tool. Andy seems to be trying to make the point that you shouldn’t assume that a gay man and a straight man can’t be just friends, but is that really it? Does Andy have any straight guy friends..? I don’t know. I will say that I believe Sean Avery is straight, and I doubt he’d pretend to be if he wasn’t.
don’t know anything about sean avery but also believe nobody should be outed who doesn’t want to be, whether he’s gay or not. only exception would be some hypocrite who likes to diss gay people. we make way too big an issue of it.
