Moments after the ball dropped, Andy Cohen unleashed a boozy rant against former NYC Mayor Eric Adams live on CNN. The Bravo star torched Adams' chaotic tenure while co-host Anderson Cooper tried desperately to rein him in. It was peak New Year's messiness in Times Square.
Oh honey, if you thought New Year's Eve was all about resolutions and fireworks, think again—Andy Cohen just served up the ultimate shade fest on live TV! Right after the iconic ball drop on CNN's broadcast, the Bravo boss, drink in hand, went full scorched earth on ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams. He called out the politician's run as utterly chaotic and basically told him to gallop off into retirement 👀.
Cohen didn't hold back, mocking Adams' exit and taking what sure seemed like a jab at his dismissed federal corruption case. Anderson Cooper, ever the pro, struggled to shut it down, while BJ Novak jumped in with damage control. Novak even quipped that Cohen needed to be cut off—fair, considering the no-filter vibes. Cooper awkwardly slung an arm around his longtime co-host in a bid to de-escalate, but uh, mission not accomplished.
But wait, there's more tea! Cohen sarcastically toasted one of Adams' final acts: launching the Office of Rodent Mitigation. 'He cracked the former mayor may have actually reduced the city's rat population,' our sources spill, adding that Cohen hinted it might be more metaphorical than literal. Classic shade on the Big Apple's endless cleanup drama. He wrapped it all up with a toast to 2026, declaring it a fresh start—a cheeky nod that New Yorkers are so over the Adams era.
Meanwhile, in a wildly dramatic twist, new NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn in early Thursday morning in a private ceremony deep in an abandoned subway station beneath City Hall Park. Talk about entering stage left with flair! Live TV, alcohol, and Anderson Cooper? Never a quiet combo. So, is this the end of Adams' spotlight, or just the rats jumping ship? 🔥
