In an interview with Meghan Markle, Andy Cohen revealed that Bravo once banned the use of the word “b-tch.”
“You know, it’s funny. We banned the word ‘b-tch.’ We’ve had a weird relationship with the B-word on the Housewives,” Andy said. “And there was a housewife that wanted to use it in her tagline and we finally — the women who ran Bravo said, ‘we don’t want the B-word in the show open for the Housewives. This is a negative.”
He added, “I think that what ultimately wound up happening was… the case was made by the woman like, ‘no, this is a positive to me.'”
Andy’s response was in response to Meghan saying that most of the women she’d spoken to did not have a problem with the word.
“I was doing an episode purely on the B-word, but most of the women I spoke to had very little issue with the word [because] it’s so oversaturated that it’s almost diffused. And instead, they were saying, what is charged for them, is how easily women are now being called ‘difficult,’ and that it’s really just a euphemism for the same thing but it has more of a dig to it,” Meghan shared.
