Andy Cohen teases major ‘bombshell’ at RHOBH Reunion

Undoubtedly, the reunion is going to be tense but entertaining. In the past couple of weeks, viewers have seen a lot of arguments between the Housewives.

Before the long hours of filming, Andy gave a sneak peek by beginning to ask through an Instagram story, “How do we feel like it’s going, ladies?”. Seconds later, Kyle Richard appears in the frame and responds, “I feel like it’s going fantastic. Beautifully, Andy. As expected.”

Things did not end there, the Watch What Happens Live Host then shared a major “bombshell” that dropped days before the day’s events, teasing that a “mystery has been solved that I didn’t even know existed”.

He didn’t provide any further details and hasn’t posted on Instagram, leaving fans wondering what had happened.

Diana Jenkins, who missed the reunion in person after contracting Covid-19, is said to be joining the cast virtually.
