Andy Cohen has hosted Watch What Happens Live since 2013

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Cohen recalled being confused by Jillian Michaels' angry exit from the late-night show after a relatively routine episode

Michaels has claimed in the years since that Cohen was rude during her appearance, leading to a "hideous experience"

Andy Cohen is remembering one of his most confounding experiences on Watch What Happens Live.

In a recent sit-down with Entertainment Weekly, the Bravo personality, 57, was discussing surprising moments on his late-night talk show when he recalled Jillian Michaels' appearance on the show in Feb. 2013.

Michaels, who hosted The Biggest Loser at the time, seemed to have a pretty routine experience on the show, appearing alongside Big Bang Theory actress Melissa Rauch. When the show finished filming, however, Michaels' attitude significantly soured.

"She left and she was screaming at my staff. And if you scream at my staff, that's kind of it for me," Cohen recalled of the experience.

Asked about ever having Michaels, who now works as a conservative news commentator, back on the show, which Cohen has hosted since 2009, he replied, "I don't think there's a market for that. By the way, I don't think she would come."

Michaels has shared scathing opinions about Cohen and Bravo's programming in the past. In a 2018 interview with Life & Style, she was asked about whether she watches Real Housewives.

"I hate that s—. I never watch it. I hate watching women tear each other apart. Anybody who watches it, shame on you," she replied.

Of Cohen, she said, "It’s like [the franchise] was created by someone that hates women! I mean, the guy hates them. He’s an a--hole."

Michaels doubled down on her dislike for Cohen a year later, telling Us Weekly, "We've not been friendly for years."

Michaels says she was put off by Cohen being "condescending" in explaining how to take a shot with the shotski, a tradition with guests.

"That was a truly hideous experience. Like in all the years I've been doing this, nothing like this has ever happened," she said.
