Why Andy Cohen Doesn’t Want Heidi Montag To Join The Real Housewives

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in September 2023, Heidi Montag admitted to wanting to be on the “Real Housewives,” since she feels that she’d be a good fit. “[Andy Cohen] made a statement a while ago that he would never want me on it and that I wasn’t for their franchise, but I think that he’s so wrong,” she told the outlet. She went on to assume that it may be because Cohen is a fan of Lauren Conrad’s. “I would think that he would appreciate the reality star that I am. I completely make sense to be on one of these shows,” Montag said, suggesting she’d be a good fit on either the Orange County or Beverly Hills franchises.

Interestingly, Cohen says that his decision not to consider Montag for the “Real Housewives” has nothing to do with people she used to be friends with. “I didn’t watch “Laguna Beach,” so I don’t even have much institutional knowledge of them,” Cohen admitted on his SiriusXM radio show (via Us Weekly), adding that the thought of Conrad didn’t even cross his mind when thinking about Montag joining “Housewives.” Of course, Montag seems to be doing just fine despite her lack of Bravo casting. She has starred in a number of other reality television shows, including “The Hills: New Beginnings” and “Celebrity Big Brother.”
