Andy Cohen Claps Back After Sarah Michelle Gellar Calls RHOBH “Boring”
Andy Cohen isn’t pleading the fifth this time.
The Watch What Happens Live host didn’t take kindly to Sarah Michelle Gellar’s brutally honest assessment of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ ongoing 15th season, particularly after she shared her hot take during an interview in the same studio that houses his eponymous radio show.
“It’s like, ‘Sarah Michelle Gellar hates the [Real] Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ with all this Radio Andy signage everywhere,’” he said on the March 25 episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “And I go, ‘You know what? Don’t bring someone into my studio to trash my show. How about the door is locked when I leave? How’s that?’”
“Maybe think twice about posting that all over social media,” he continued, “where it says ‘Andy’ everywhere behind SMG.”
As for Sarah’s opinion, the late night star—who is dad to kids Ben, 7, and Lucy, 3—added, “She wrong, by the way.”
Days earlier, the scream queen didn’t hold back when asked whether she was enjoying the latest season of the long-running reality series.
“No,” she said during an appearance on Page Six Radio March 18. “I think it’s boring.”

After praising cast members Rachel Zoe and Bozoma Saint John along with “friends-of” Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly, Sarah admitted she was still warming up to season 15 rookie Amanda Frances.
“If you choose to go on this show, then you have to be ready to open yourself up and be honest,” she explained. “I feel like she missed that.”
Meanwhile, Bozoma, 49, recently offered her own rebuttal to the I Know What You Did Last Summer star’s analysis of the series, arguing that viewers are seeing authentic depictions of the cast’s lives.
“There has to be moments where you get deep, and sometimes that depth doesn’t require a lot of action, because our lives are really real,” she told Page Six in an interview published March 27. “There’s a lot of drama going on. That doesn’t necessarily mean conflict between us, but it is drama within each of our individual lives, and you gotta allow space for that.”
While Sarah’s take on RHOBH continues to make waves, keep reading for E!’s official ranking of every Real Housewives star…

167-170. The Real Housewives of D.C.
Bravo’s ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation’s capital brought together four women so forgettable you’d be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

166. Kimberly Bryant, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Who?

165. Tammy Knickerbocker, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Vaguely familiar, but…

164. DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

163. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County
This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.
Chad Kirkland/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
162. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Utah’s newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after “offensive” and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.

161. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Her defining trait was “cougar.”
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
160. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County
The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows’ insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.
Bravo
159: Annemarie Wiley, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The nurse anesthetist’s flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
158. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but…didn’t do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
157. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife…that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.

156. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
155. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County
While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn’t understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn’t really cut out for this Real Housewives life.
Jai Lennard/Bravo
154. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka’s first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy’s mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

153. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we’ll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

152. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we’re not sure we’ve ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.

151. Amber Marchese, RHONJ
Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

150. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of Miami
All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!

149. Cristy Rice,The Real Housewives of Miami
This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.
Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
148. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City
As one of RHONY‘s more recent one-and-dones, Jules’ tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama.

147: Amanda Francis, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Hate is a strong word, but it’s hard to remember anyone who was as swiftly disliked by Bravo fans as RHOBH‘s season 15 newbie Amanda Francis.
The author, financial advisor and self-professed “Money Queen” rubbed not only her castmates the wrong way, audiences were also put off by Amanda’s obsession with material things and questionable career advise.
But it was her refusal to engage in any sort of confrontation with her castmates that truly signaled she wasn’t made out to be a Housewife. It’s a hard job, and not everybody is meant to do it.

145-146. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ
So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.
Chris Haston/Bravo
144. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars’ bigger, louder personalities.
Bravo
143. Taleen Marie, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Taleen was a nice addition to RHODubai‘s sophomore season, but we only have one season to judge her on.
Phylicia J.L. Munn/Bravo
142: Angel Massie, The Real Housewives of Potomac
To say Angel failed spectacularly at being a Housewife would be an understatement. With one miss after another, the WAG and wife of retired NFL star Bobby Massie fumbled her way through season 10 as her more seasoned and shadier costars relished in her unsuccessful attempts to fit into the friend group.
Despite her shortcomings, it is pretty epic that her Colorado glamping excursion ended with the cast lost in the wilderness and eating fast food from a roadside gas station.
Definitely a first for the Housewives.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
141. Eva Marcille, RHOA
The America’s Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.
Bravo
140. Katie Ginella, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Per usual, we typically need to see more than one season to place a first-time Housewife higher on our list. But Katie came in swinging during RHOC‘s 18th season, immediately going up against veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes a brave woman to call B.S. on Ms. Fancypants.
Clifton Prescod/Bravo
139. Stephanie Shojaee, The Real Housewives of Miami
We’ll be honest: Stephanie is not our cup of tea. While her vast wealth had the makings of a great Housewife, the fact that she continuously used her private jet as leverage to hold power over her new costars during season seven left an icky raste in our mouth.
Maybe Steph can redeem herself if she returns for season eight.
Rich Polk/Bravo
138. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Sara’s positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn’t provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her.
Andrew Eccles/Bravo
136-137. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
RHONJ‘s season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. The former friends unfortunately didn’t bring much more substance during season 14.
