BravoCon 2025: Andy on Melissa & Teresa, Carole Radziwill RHONY rumors, RHORI | Virtual Reali-Tea

They had several meetings, one at a mausoleum between Joe and Teresa, one involving Melissa as well, and then there were some text messages between Louis and Joe that Teresa filled us in about virtual reality. Hi, it’s Danny Murphy. I’m Evan Real. And we are back from Bravo Con 2025. I’m still buzzing. I had the best time ever. Bravo just I don’t know. It hit different this year. Like it was so good. It was such a good time. Cuz we can be honest, we’re not the biggest Las Vegas fans, but when Bravo is there, it’s our city. It is the most beautiful city on earth. Whenever Bravocon is in town. It really makes me love Las Vegas. Probably cuz everybody there is so pretty. So beautiful, so stylish, so handsome. Like Andy Cohen. Yeah. Our VRT hottie of the year winner. We had a lot of fun talking with him. We did ask him if his dating life changed after being crowned the hottie of the year. He said it was like, “All right, he’s so humble, which makes him even hotter.” Oh, you know, he’s our hottie of the year. Well, humble, but he does dish a little bit. Yes. So, we had to love him. We had to ask, of course, Bravo come bring so many announcements, and we saw our mid-season trailer for Potoic. Yeah. and they teased an Andy Karen sitdown after she came out of prison and we got to talk to him about what went into that and how he’s excited for a fantasy that you’re having a sit down with the grandmom. How what can you tease about that and how was going into that? Um it was a couple days after she was released. I went to her home in the dead of night after Watch What Happens Live. I took a very late we did this. I just kind of snuck into PTOAC and snuck right back out. Uh and it was very emotional and uh I heard things from Karen that I had never heard before. Yeah, we were chatting with her castmates earlier and everyone was very they were applauding her and praising her for opening up about her addiction and wanting to talk about that and that’s kind of like the first time she has said it herself even though the other women have kind of mentioned it. How did it feel to hear her say it herself? Um, it was really I I was very impressed with the whole conversation. I’m excited for you guys to see it. I’m so stoked for this. I cannot wait to see how it goes down. I can’t wait to see Karen talk about her addiction. I’m excited to see how she talks about her addiction. Yeah. And also because a lot of the ladies, we talked to a lot of the PTOIC ladies that we love and they kind of opened up about uh the mid-season trailer and what is to come there, too. Yeah. Jazelle seems to be very happy that Karen’s ready to admit that she might have an issue with alcohol cuz I I do feel like the girls have been saying this for a while. Even Robin say they were dancing around it too. I love how happy were you that Robin Dixon was there? So happy. It was so great catching up with her and it like the way that she was able to speak about the Dr. Wendy debacle so funny. She’s like she’s like I don’t watch TV. I watch crime shows. I was like and she clearly has no connection or care about Dr. Wendy. So she was like just ready to ditch with that. did you reach out? She’s like, “No, why would I do that?” Cuz that would be a little fake. Yeah, cuz they haven’t spoken since the last reunion she appeared. What’s your biggest question for the for the Wendy’s situation? Well, I I mean, I first would want to hear what she has to say and then I’ll have my follow-up question because I like and it’s you know what’s crazy is that like nothing even personal towards Wendy’s. This would be like towards anyone. I just love this type of stuff. Like I love like legal drama and like a little bit of dine. Yes. I love it. Like that’s how I that’s that’s I I don’t watch housews. I watch legal stuff and I watch like cuz you’re an investigative journalist, you know, when you did the pizza trick and everything like that. I feel you could get down to the bottom of things now. Because you love uh keeping up with all this. What do you Cuz did you see Ashley tried to apologize to Wendy about some of the funny the things she was saying and Wendy did not receive it. What are your thoughts on how Wendy’s operating around Bravo this year? Yeah. Well, I don’t blame Wendy for not receiving the apology because to be honest, like if Ashley really felt apologetic, she would have probably reached out to her, you know, personally offline, sent her a text. Hey girl, that you know, I did a little too much. So, I don’t blame Wendy for not receiving. Have you reached out to Wendy at all? You haven’t? Okay. Are you interested in checking in with her? I mean, you guys had an up and down relationship. It would be It would be phony. I won’t say phony, but like I haven’t like had a I haven’t talked to her since like season 8 reunion. And it was never like we we really just have never been on good terms for a long time. And so it would be kind of phony if I was just to be like, “Hey girl, I hope you guys are doing well.” You know what I mean? But hey, you know, a lot of people don’t speak during and after reunions, but make amends. We got to see Carol Radswwell in the flesh after her and Andy squash their beef. And can I tell y’all something? The crowd was going electric for her. Yeah. We went to Countest and uh Countest Cabaret and Carol’s in the audience. There was a chant for her. People were screaming for her and all that excitement. We were wondering, did that get her a little, you know, a little excited to maybe go back into the Bravo verse? We talked her about it. I don’t think so. Now, Andy did shut it down yesterday. The idea of a hybrid roy show. Yes, absolutely. If that were ever to be green lit, though, if it were to ever happen, you wouldn’t do it. Why not? Why not? I think that’s like I pass that. But um but listen, I know Aaron and I uh are friends from outside the show. I mean, I just met her and her husband. We have a lot of mutual friends and we had dinner last week and she’s great. Yeah. And I’ve met Jessel. I knew Jenna before. I mean, I know all those girls and of course, you know, the OGs are the OGs, but I don’t I don’t you know, Andy was very clear about that. And I think that’s good because there was been a lot of rumors about it. Makes me sad that Carol is no longer interested in reality television. However, we can keep up with her on her substack, which is very exciting. I But I would like to see her get back in front of the camera. I think the the fact that she came to Bravo and she’s kind of getting in the mix a little bit is indicative of her maybe changing her mind in the future about that cuz I think Carol does like the attention a little bit and I love that for her. Who doesn’t? Yeah, exactly. Someone asked Andy about calling Britney Baitman the thirstiest on Call Daddy. Uhhuh. And Andy was like to clear that up. Why are people saying thirsty is a bad thing? It’s not. And then he also was like, “We all are. We all are here because we like being on TV. We’re all thirsty.” Right. Exactly. Which is so real. Um the biggest story I feel that came out of Bravo. Yes. Teresa, Joe, Melissa, Louie. Now, I got to say, guys, they were together the entire weekend. They really were. They spent a lot of time together. I feel like the entire convention was just electrified by this reconciliation. It was crazy to see. I did not think we were going to get here this fast. Like fullon reconciled so soon. But they had several meetings. One at a mausoleum between Joe and Teresa. One involving Melissa as well. And then there were some text messages between Louis and Joe that Teresa filled us in about. They took photos at the Bravo Awards. And what I like too, you asked Teresa what she says to the fans that might be saying this is for the cameras for potential. and she she clapped back at that perfectly. So, take a listen to that. For the people who are questioning it, what’s your message to those who don’t think it’s genuine or think that you guys are doing it just to be back on the show together? Yeah, definitely not. I mean, ask my brother cuz he knows me so well. And I think Melissa, she’s been in my life for 22 years. She knows me really well, too. Um, well, my brother especially, he knows I hold grudges. So, if I let this go, it’s real. And I do feel like I don’t I here’s the thing though because you can have Andy who we kicked off with. We did ask him about if he was excited. He seemed a little tired of it. Yeah, he seemed a little tired of the question. And I think he also seemed a little perturbed by the potential of this being performative cuz he did say, “I hope they’re doing this for the right reasons.” And then he invoked the Caroline Manzo. Yes. The one and only the iconic Caroline Manzo fans don’t go fans won’t go to your funeral. I think was a version of the quote that she gave back in the day. So, I think Andy hopes that this is for the family and not for the fans and not for acceleration of production for New Jersey housewives. I’m I’m also excited to see Teresa and Melissa walk around cuz I know there’s no New Jersey news this weekend, but they are being so nice to each other. Oh, good. I’m happy to hear it. Yeah. How is that making you feel? Listen, whatever they do, they should do it for themselves and that’s the only reason they should do it. Life is short and uh as Caroline Manzo famously said many years ago, the fans are not going to come to our funerals. So, um you know, it’s you know, life is short. And I know what Caroline means by that, but I wonder if now that she sees Bravo, she’s like, “Oh, they will go to the funeral.” We honestly, we would you know what I mean? We would show up, but also Yeah. I want everyone to live forever. Um, but I know it is a lot. It It really did um take over. I mean, Jersey was kind of like the hot topic of the entire weekend because then we also caught up with Dolores. Yeah. And we got a reveal that Melissa knew about the engagement. Yeah. Dolores and Paulie got engaged and Dolores was very shocked. She was wearing sweatpants at the Apple store. But Melissa was she was on ready cuz she knew Paulie told her. How excited were you for this? Um, so I knew it was happening by the way. I didn’t I can’t believe it. I told Did he tell you he told me at the Apple store? He did. Did he tell you the whole plan? I didn’t know it was at the opposite. I was looking on the phone. I’m like, where the hell are they? When did he tell you? I’m finding this out for the first time now. When did he told me it was happening, but I didn’t know when or where. Oh my. Wait, how long ago did he tell you? Um I I don’t know, like a month a month ago. A month ago. He’s been thinking about this for a month. Uhhuh. Oh my god. That is It was going to happen maybe somewhere else. I knew all about it. Oh my god. Yes. Yes. So I was waiting. I was just waiting. I didn’t know. My family didn’t know. No one. But Melissa knew. Had a little talk. Melissa knows. Oh my god. He didn’t even say it to me purposely. We were just kind of like discussing. No, she gets out of people. This one. I’m very trustworthy. She’s a digger. She’s a I’m trustworthy. Dolores. You know you are. He had his trust in me. And you know it was good cuz it didn’t get back to me in any way at all. See, there you go. I I didn’t rant. And also Dolores has a lot of news coming out because that Rhode Island trailer, y’all. I’m excited as it looks. I’m excited. Yeah, it looks really really good. And I love to see Dolores’s twin Liz. She looks just like Dolores. It’s so crazy. And like it’s the thing where it’s like, you know, when like, oh, we all are the same person cuz the second I watched the trailer, I was like, I’m calling it Liz looks like Dolores but sounds like Meredith Marks. Everybody’s saying that online. She really does. Yeah. It’s And also those are two amazing housewives. So if she’s anything like them energetically, yeah, we’re in for a treat. Ashley I is back on the screens from the Bachelor. Yeah, I’m really excited about that. I kind of felt like this would never happen, a Bachelor Nation to Housewives trajectory because I feel like I I feel like Bravo doesn’t really like to double dip in different reality TV universes. I know that that is why Snookie has not been considered to be a New Jersey housewife for so long because Andy feels she’s so emblematic of MTV and and and Jersey Shore and all that. But I guess with the Bachelor they kind of get put into rotation like maybe it’s a little bit less like that. Yeah. Ashley I hasn’t been on TV in like a decade, right? Or Yeah, it’s been a while. Yeah. And I’m not saying that in a shady way. I’m saying that in like she’s been busy. She’s not been on Snookie. We’re all up to date with cuz she’s still on her family vacation, right? Yeah, that’s true. I think Ashley would be good. And I like that she’s still staying true to her character and crying all the time. Oh, we saw lots of tears in the trailer. Now, you know, I need her sister on to make a cameo. Oh, and that would be really nice. I’m sure she will. I don’t know her sister’s name. I don’t either. But what I do know is there is a moment of her I brought this up to you dragging a suitcase on the beach. Mhm. And it’s the funniest. I remember watching that and I was just like, “Oh, this girl got me.” Comedic gold. I’m sure she’ll make an appearance on Rhode Island Housewives. Why not? What? Hey, you know what? Why not? Did they reveal a premiere date? 2026. Okay. So, 226 have that. We’re gonna have the new Van Rules, which we heard is very, very good. in the Valley Persian style. Mhm. With Gigi, Resza, and MJ. An ultimate girls trip road trip. Yeah. Which I think should be really interesting. I’m excited for that. They’re going to be taking a road trip. It’s not We’re not sure which housewives are participating it, but they’re going to be taking a road trip across the US to visit all of the housewives cities and revisit iconic locations and relive infamous moments from all the franchises. So, I think that should be good. It is going to be very, very cool. Um, also I feel the Bravo drama does not stop because Sai Madison Lacroy I know this feud is really it’s so wild to me. I did not expect Madison Lacroy and Sai to ever be feuding. So Sai from Rooney from the Rooney reboot and Madison Lacroy from Southern Charm. They did a panel two two years ago. Yeah. at the last Bravo Con in Vegas. And I guess Sy doesn’t really remember meeting Madison and but apparently she was mean to Cuz I want to know cuz that’s a Madison, if you’re watching this. Hi. Um you look glam as ever. I want to know was she mean to you then or was she mean to you this weekend? We just need to know the details. Yeah. To formulate the thoughts cuz it’s hard where it’s like cuz even Michelle Collins who moderate that panel. I’ve had great experience with Madison. I have a great experience with size. So like I don’t know what have you had experiences with with Madison? I have. I’ I’ve never met her so I don’t know what her vibe is. Pleasant. Yeah. So Madison, but also like I’m like not like I’ve had a lot more experiences with uh Sai. Yeah. And Sai cuz you know we’re filming this in New York. We’ve had we’ve been to her house. We’ve been to events with her. She’s a really cool girl. Yeah, we do love S. We’re good. is why I need more details of this because in my moments with Sai, she’s never struck me as like rude. She struck me as just like like I could see her just being like no BS. Right. Totally. So, where this all started is there was a Bravo panel moderated by Michelle Collins where Bravo talent was playing heads up with one another and Austin Croll, Madison’s Southern Charm co-star had the heads up game on his head and it said side to Silva. So, Madison was pointing out clues to get him to guess side of Silva and she said, “Oh, the meanest girl to me ever.” So then Sai clapped back and said something along the lines of, “You must have me confused. Not all brown girls are the same,” implying that maybe her assessment of Sai was had an undertone of racism. So there was that. So we we started out with a bang in this feud and then Madison it was pointed out on social media that she did in fact have a moment with Sai because Sai was saying, “I don’t know you.” Yeah. 2 years ago at Bravo and then Sai made the argument just because I was on a panel with you know DM and Madison leaked the DMs. Yeah. And Madison and Sai Sai basically said you [ __ ] leave me alone. BTW you’re unforgettable. Cry laughing face emoji. Unforgettable. You’re you’re unmemorable is what she said. Unmemorable. I was like wait that’s kind of that’s kind of nice. Yeah. Unmeable. Not unforgettable, unmemorable. So that is was going down there. Never expected that Madison Lroy and Sai would be fighting. I think I just saw at point of recording. I now can’t find it because you know that goes. Someone said Kelly newbie from Atlanta who we love put a check mark under the comment saying um Sai isn’t nice. That Sai isn’t nice. Yes. I’m like, I need more answers and I I need a lot of Well, okay, so Kelly is is team Madison here. So is Venita Aspen from Oh, and Vanita, oh my god, we didn’t have that much time to talk with her. She walked into the press room looking amazing with Champagne and we were like, cuz she remembered us, we’re memorable, too. She remembered us from doing our live show last September and we were like, okay, not you walking in with champagne. You’re iconic. And she was like, bad [ __ ] do what bad [ __ ] do. And I was like, that is so correct. And this bad [ __ ] commented on a social media post in defense of Madison. I guess with the screenshots of Madison and Sai’s DM exchange where Sai called her unmemorable, Venita felt as though Sai was only proving her point that she is the meanest girl on the planet. But look, like if if you come for Sai, you can’t expect her not to clap. also has Bravo and also cuz Sai just put up on her fits recap of Bravo, throw in the mean meanest fits all weekend. So, she’s leaning into it. She also was saying on her story, she was like, “My story views are soaring. It’s a great day to post sponsored content.” I So, Sigh’s in her bag. She congrats to her. But like you said, Danny, I would like to know more details from Madison about her mean sigh allegations. How was she mean? When was she mean? Was it all a misunderstanding? I feel like it was cuz we do like sign. I don’t think she’s mean. I don’t think she’s mean either. And also now I can’t find the thing where Kelly did the check mark. Kelly, if you didn’t do that, girl, you know I’m sorry and I love you. But um I think she did. I I I check Queens Bravo, which usually has everything. So Queens of Bravo post that for my uh support. Uh but I know I but like someone was saying, this could just be a 2027 squash the beef. Yeah, there we go. 2027. Andy did announce 202. I think he announced that. So much to look forward to in two years. Another Bravo Conan, which is so exciting. But it kind of just blinked and it was here. So I know two years really flies by. It does fly by like two years ago. Uh were there any reality star like like Brunman wasn’t there, Wes wasn’t there, Jesse wasn’t there. Crazy. Brenn Woodfield every was everywhere. You know what I mean? Like time changes. Time does change. Brennatons remember they got stuck. And last year we were still sort of in the throws of postcandal aftermath which is like so wild to think about. And then at the time I think it was just a few months after Mauricio and Kyle had split. So that was dominating the news cycle then and now it’s Teresa and Melissa making up. Wow. Kyle Rich probably left this Robin like thank God. Do you have any predictions for some wild 2027 developments? Like what do you think will happen in 2027? Will Teresa and Melissa still be getting along by then? Yes. You think so? Okay. And I’m also putting out of the universe there will be a new Housewife franchise somewhere. You think so? Yeah. What city would you like to see it in? I’m because this is this is all mind you no one this is all just me speculating. I I’m like the the three places my head is going to and I’ve never been to these places so I don’t know. Seattle, Chicago. Uhhuh. And you know I’m gonna go to a place I’ve actually been before. Houston. Oh. because we had the Dallas housewives. Uhhuh. You think Houston could bring it? Houston and Houston is Yeah. a different energy, a fun energy, and I feel like some I could see reality something there. What about New Orleans? Remember they did Southern Charm New Orleans? But we could bring that Do you think Housewives could work there? That’d be fun. I wonder how was Southern Charm New Orleans? Did you watch it? No. Okay. Um but I met two of the people on it and they were really lovely. Oh, nice. Okay. Don’t remember their name, but yeah. I think a New Orleans housewife could be cool cuz Louisiana girls are so iconic. That is or You got the Nater Sisters. Do a girls trip to there. Oh, yeah. A girl trip in New Orleans. So, you got like really witchy, you know, and voodoo, but also Sweet and Southern. Sweet and Do you have any predictions? I think those are all good. I think Chicago would be cool. I think New Orleans would maybe be cool. And maybe Do you know what? I I think you’re on to something with Texas. I bet you that they’ll reboot Dallas at some point. Oh, okay. I do think that could and would and maybe should happen. So, time mark this and we’ll listen back in two years time. Yeah. Until then though, if you were at BravoCon, get some sleep. We hope you had a great time. If you weren’t, we hope you enjoyed our coverage of it uh all um on the accounts on everything like that. We are keeping you up to date and we’ll keep you updated on more tea to come.
