Producers at “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” have pulled their after show from Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, to prevent their content from showing up alongside antisemitic posts, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
A source exclusively tells us Wednesday that production was concerned about their content “living adjacent to inappropriate, hateful or antisemitic advertising or content.”
“Staffers wanted the content to live in a safe space.”
We’re also told that Andy Cohen, who is Jewish and both an executive producer and host on “WWHL,” was involved making this decision.
Reps for Cohen and Bravo did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
The X account for “WWHL” first announced via the platform that they were moving their after show on Nov. 26, just over a week after Elon Musk was slammed for supporting an antisemitic post on X.
The tech mogul, 52, wrote at the time, “You have said the actual truth,” in response to a post that said, “Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”
Musk has since apologized but denied that he is antisemitic, causing several advertisers to pull out of doing business on X, including Walmart, Apple and other major corporations.
“WWHL”‘s announcement regarding the removal of their after show reads, “You can stream the #WWHL After Show on Facebook Live starting tonight! 🥳🎉” and is still pinned on the social media platform.
The decision was met with mixed reviews with one person commenting, “Love this switch up!!!,” while another wrote, “No thank you.”
The Facebook account for “WWHL” boasts 570,000 followers, which is actually more than 460,000 followers that the longtime-running talk show has on X, so its viewership may not be impacted.
Despite the Bravo after show being removed, “WWHL”‘s actual account is still active on X, as well as the network’s and Cohen’s personal accounts.
Earlier this month, Page Six learned that Bravo has been having ongoing and “emotionally charged” conversations about how to properly respond to the Israel-Hamas war following the Oct. 7 attacks.
While some have allegedly been left unsatisfied, others have taken notice of poignant moments such as when Cohen, 55, and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Dorit Kemsley, who is also Jewish, lit a menorah to honor the first day of Hanukkah live on “WWHL.”

“This felt important to do this year,” Cohen wrote alongside a clip of the lighting, while Kemsley, 47, added, “This was such a special moment.”
NBCUniversal, the parent company of Bravo, also released a statement on Oct. 10, that read, “We are horrified and deeply saddened by the brutal attack on Israel. Our hearts go out to the families who have lost their loved ones through unspeakable acts of terrorism and the devastation of war.
“As these catastrophic events unfold, we are so grateful for the tireless dedication and bravery of our NBC and Sky news colleagues who are on the ground risking their lives to shine a light on this terrible conflict.”
We also previously learned that NBCUniversal committed $2 million to humanitarian efforts in Israel.
