Andy Cohen is starting 2026 with a bit of a shadow.
The famous Bravo host slams “that margarita lady” Bethenny Frankel’s “suffocating” TikTok video.
On the Jan. 5 episode of “Andy Cohen Live,” Cohen and guest John Hill discussed social media chatter surrounding the former’s New Year’s Eve Live special.
“I also went on TikTok just to see what kids were saying about New Year’s Eve,” Cohen said.
“Hey, that margarita lady. Oh my god, I’m choking. I couldn’t do it,” Cohen, 57, added, apparently referring to Frankel, who sold Skinny Girl Cocktails in 2011 for an estimated $100 million.
Hill, 47, claimed she “blocked” Frankel because the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star posted “14 (video) likes in one day” on TikTok.
The “Happenings Live with Andy Cohen” host added, “She doesn’t appear on my Instagram. I don’t even know if she’s on Instagram.”
A representative for Frankel declined to comment to Page Six.
Frankel starred in seasons 1-3 and 7-11 of “RHONY.” She also starred in two spin-off series, “Bethenny Ever After” and “Bethenny & Fredrik.”
After the New York Times bestselling author’s time on Bravo ended, she and Cohen began fighting over the former’s outspoken comments about how “toxic” reality TV is.
On a 2022 episode of WWHL, Cohen accused Frankel of “trolling” the Real Housewives series.
“Actually, I’m not trolling the show. I’ve been saying it’s not for me because I think it’s harmful. And even though I don’t want to be there, I still have a right to want to talk about it,” she told the live audience.
The following year, the former “Shark Tank” star encouraged reality stars to join the writers’ and actors’ strike, citing financial exploitation.
Frankel claimed she was only paid $7,250 for the first season of “RHONY,” but said she hasn’t received a cent from the series since.
“I myself have made millions of dollars from advertising on reality shows and online impressions, but I have never left a dime,” she explained. “So either I’m missing something or we’re messed up too.”
In response, Cohen said Frankel’s “reality judgment” was a “sustained attack” against him.
