Andy Cohen Apologizes for Calling Heidi Montag “Trash” in 2011: “That Was Mean”

by

This week, Andy Cohen issued an apology for his 2011 remarks towards Heidi Montag. He admitted that those comments were hurtful and inappropriate, referring to them as “unkind.

During a recent interview on Andy Cohen’s show, SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Cohen brought up a dispute that started when Pratt, who married Montag in 2008, posted on social media that he would never appear as a guest on Watch What Happens Live because Cohen had said he would rather gouge his eyes out than watch my wife.

During an interview, Andy Cohen mentioned a disagreement that began when Pratt (who married Montag in 2008) wrote on social media that he would never appear on Watch What Happens Live again because Cohen had said he’d rather blind himself than watch my wife.

In a 2011 video, Pratt mentioned an instance where Cohen criticized Montag. This was when Cohen expressed disdain about the possibility of Montag appearing on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, stating, “I’d rather stick knives into my own eyes than see her on this network.” Later on, he issued an apology a few days after his initial comment.

Cohen mentioned on Andy Cohen Live several years back that he had already apologized for the incident, and he reiterated this apology during their recent podcast conversation with John Hill. He clarified that while it was over a decade ago, what he regrets most is his use of disrespectful language towards her, specifically referring to her as ‘trash’. This is something he no longer condones and deeply regrets, so he extends his apologies once more.

Hill continued by informing Cohen, “Once is sufficient for me, I must admit your apology was sincere. You acknowledged your mistake and accepted responsibility for it, showing true remorse.

Hey Hill, I wanna say thanks for your reply. Just wanted to mention something: Some of the stuff we said and did on TV over a decade back, well, we probably wouldn’t do it the same way today. It was a different world back then, but let me be clear, I’m not trying to make excuses for it.

Hill made it clearer what Cohen meant by adding his own thoughts: “The frustrating part is when people claim, ‘In the past we could use the R-word.’ However, it’s not about reusing that term. We’ve gained valuable insights and that progress is beneficial.

Cohen concluded the discussion by expressing a summary thought: “When I said ‘I suppose I’m apologizing again,’ I was referring to the fact that I had already offered an apology during a broadcast some years ago. So, perhaps this isn’t a timeless issue. Maybe I only need to apologize for it every three years.
