- She skipped the trip
to Chesapeake Bay,
and she's here to roast
"Housewives"
in a tongue-in-cheek way.
It's "Watch What Happens Live"
with Gizelle Bryant
and Phoebe Robinson now.
[cheers and applause]
* Andy Cohen's

On Bravo TV *
- Hey, everybody, welcome
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I am your host Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
joined by two guests
with whom I never thought
I'd discuss salad tossing,
but after tonight's "Potomac,"
we gotta.
Uh, please welcome
Real Housewife of Potomac,
and the "Word on the Street,"
Gizelle Bryant.
Hey, Gizelle.
- Hi. Hi, Andy.
- Good to see you.
- Uh, my next guest has somehow
managed to write a book,
star in a comedy special,
and stay fully up to date
on "Housewives,"
proving that she is, in fact,
doing the most.
Please get yourself
a copy
of "Please Don't Sit on My Bed
in Your Outside Clothes."
It's out now. It's by our friend
Phoebe Robinson.
Hey, Phoebe.
Great to see you.
Tonight's bartender is
the author of a new book also.
It's called
"The One You Want to Marry
"and Other Identities I've Had."
So maybe she can
go halvsies
on a wedding planner
with Karen Huger.
Just a thought.
Say hi to Sophie Santos.
Hey.
- Hey, everybody.
-All right, drinking game
alert-- my guests won't know it.
Any time you hear anyone
say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
drink until you can't
Chesa-speak, bae.
Uh, let's get into
tonight's episode.
Okay, thoughts
on the great salad toss
of Chesapeake Bay.
Uh, Mia throwing
the salad at Candiace.
I'm sure you were glad you were
not in the kitchen at that--
- I was so happy.
- Yes.
- Like so-- when I got there
and I heard about the salad,
I was just happy
I wasn't there.
- Right.
- Yes.
- Um, and do you
have-have a side that you--
Now that you've seen
how this happened...
- Yeah.
- How do you feel.
- I-I gotta pick,
uh, Mia on this.
- Wow.
- I know.
And I love Candiace to death,
but her mouth is a garbage can.
Like, her mouth is horrible.
- Right.
- Yes.
- Um, your thoughts.
- I-I agree. I think Candiace
can be very funny,
but then she can
take it too far,
and then, I'm just like,
you gotta stop being physical,
because some people are
gonna want to play back,
and she doesn't like that,
so we just gotta
keep it classy.
- Well, this does
come up next week also--
the idea that, um,
of Candiace as a provocateur.
And so, obviously,
given everything that
happened last season,
here we are again.
- Yeah. Right.
- Thoughts on that?
- I feel like--
you know, first of all,
Mia is about three times
Candiace's size.
It's really not the woman
that you want to go after,
and just stick to
talking about her feet,
not her mama,
not, you know,
whether or not she's
a prostitute or a stripper
or her husband
being a pimp.
It's not nice.
- Right.
Thoughts on, uh, Gordon
telling Mia to shut the eff up?
- Let's-- ooh.
I don't want to judge
other relationships,
but that was wild as hell,
and he's too old
to be acting like that.
It's like, "Gordon, I will take
your Metamucil from you
"if you talk to me
like that again."
- Ooh.
- Aha! The Metamucil!
- It's too rude.
- Um, Gizelle, um,
got this question
a lot for you.
- Yeah?
- Uh, we're gonna be talking
about your house
in a couple minutes.
- Okay.
- But Catherine from Dallas
said, "Why have a party
at your home
"when it was
under construction?
"Why not host
at a nice restaurant
"or an event space?"
- Because they wanted to come.
So come.
- Yes, they did. Right. Okay.
- And construction
was going on,
um, as anybody who's doing
construction right now knows,
you do not stop the construction
man when he's at your house.
You let him
do his thing.
- Right. Okay. Okay.
- So-- and I--
Plus, I liked it.
And plus, it was a sh-- show,
so, you know,
I was here for it.
- Okay, well, Phoebe
killed it as a moderator
for Michelle Obama's
book tour,
but she's about to have
an equally highbrow discussion
regarding some
equally powerful women,
give or take.
Phoebe, I need
your Bravo takes, okay?
With "BravOH No
They Didn't!"
Uh, did Mia cross a line
by asking Dorothy if Chris
was on Candiace's payroll?
- Yeah, Mia was
bein' messy.
She knew what
she was doing with that,
bein' like, "I'm a CEO."
I'm like, "Girl, you in
a parking lot.
"Let's just all chill out."
It's too much.
- Was it unreasonably shady
of Gizelle
to bring up
the Eddie cheating rumors
and question the inspiration
for Wendy's new look?
- Gizelle, you my girl.
I love you.
But you knew "Zen Wen" was not
going to be Zen anymore...
- It was shady.
It's fine.
- if you brought that up.
- It was shady.
It was shady. It was fine.
- Okay.
- Um, "Salt Lake City"--
whose side are you on?
Jen or Meredith?
- Oh, Meredith.
You can't talk
about people's kids.
Like, I love Jen,
but that's too far.
- Okay, let's talk candles,
and I want
your opinion here, too.
- Yes.
- Was Karen being shady
with her 3-wick
candle announcement,
or was she letting Wendy
have her moment?
- I think she was
being shady,
but I like three wicks,
so I would support Karen.
- Your thoughts?
- It's the three wick for me.
- It is.
- Yeah. Yes.
[laughter]
- Gizelle Bryant,
"It's a 'three wick' for me."
- Yes.
- Um, why do you think Heather
in "Salt Lake City"
is determined to fix
her friendship with Jen
despite, um, being called
"Shrek" and a manatee?
- She needs to go on a date,
'cause you don't need
a friend like-- If your friend's
calling you "Shrek,"
that-- go on Bumble.
- Yeah.
- Find you some dick.
Find some dick. Come on.
- Also-- "Find some dick,"
says Phoebe Robinson...
- Yes, find some dick.
- Uh, author of "Please Don't
Sit on My Bed
"in Your Outside Clothes."
[applause]
"Find some dick,"
is what she is recommending.
"Salt Lake City,"
uh, what do you
make of Mary quarantining
across the country
from her husband
communicating with
her mannequin heads?
- You know, there's
a sizeable age difference
in the whole
sort of relation--
I think they just need
to part ways.
- Yeah.
- It feels like they're done.
- I'm very excited,
because Mary M. Cosby
will be making her in-person
Clubhouse debut next week.
- Ooh!
- Very excited about that.
Um, all right, do you think
Candiace is too harsh
when she retaliates
against the women,
or are you here for her
obsession with Mia's big feet?
- She-she goes
way too far
'cause you don't
talk about family.
Like, if she has big feet,
who cares?
- Yes!
- And was her music video
in fact "low budget"?
- It was...
you know, it was--
it was appropriate
for the budget they had.
- Yes. Yes.
[laughter]
- That was so good.
That was good.
- Thank you.
- Wow, well done.
- Yes. Yes.
- Please run for office,
Phoebe Robinson.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Uh, now last week,
Gizelle named the women
who she had refused
to let near her toilet,
but I hope I'm
on the list of people
she'd let into her
thought process
when it comes to her
controversial renovation.
Gizelle, it's time for you
to "Defend! Your! Home!"
- Oh, my-- what the hell?
- Okay, get ready
to tell the haters
while they're--
why they're wrong
about your home, sweet home.
- Okay.
- Uh, the west wing
not matching
the main home,
and being two stories.
- It's my--
The entryway is not--
the house is not done, so--
- Okay, will the rest
of the house
match the look
of the west wing?
- When it's done, yes.
- Okay, your eclectic furniture.
Getting a lot of comments
on that.
- I like my furniture.
- Okay, the staircase
leading to nowhere.
- It's gone right now.
- It's gone.
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Yes, and that--
wait a minute, and that area
is gonna be, like,
an outside fireplace,
movie area.
- Movie area!
- Wow!
- The purple walls
in the living room.
- It's actually gone.
- Gone.
- Yeah.
- Painted over.
- Wallpaper.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- Uh, your Versace--
oh, having a sofa
in your bedroom.
- Yes!
- Yes, okay.
- Yes.
- Your Versace bedding.
- Love it.
- Okay, your bedroom windows
with no blinds.
The neighbors
can see you naked.
- I have cur-
I have curtains
that are very expensive,
they're silk.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- Uh, your painted white
brick fireplace.
- Love it.
- Okay.
Your giant framed photo
of you in the hallway.
- Now, you know
I love that.
- Okay.
Your garage
having a door,
but only part
of a wall.
- Yeah, I--
to be honest with you,
it's-- per code, I cannot
enclose it all.
- Per code.
- Okay, thank you
very much, Gizelle.
[cheers and applause]
Now, after tossing back
quite a few shots,
Mia's husband, Gee,
was as unrestrained and free
as the romaine lettuce
his wife launched
into the air,
and since he was
following in the messy footsteps
of househusbands before him,
it's time for
some Spousal Support.
Ladies, I'm gonna
go through behavior
by some Bravo husbands.
Say if you would be cool
if your mi-- with your man
doing that thing.
Um, your man
going toe-to-toe
with a woman in
your friend group
who you've been
beefing with.
Okay or no-go?
- No-go.
- Stay out of it.
- Okay.
Your partner
telling you he's happy
you're getting
your pre-baby body back
after having a second child.
- No-go. Pull over.
- Yeah, his-his pre-
his pre-baby body is trash,
so why is he
saying anything?
- Okay.
- Ooohhh.
- Uh, the husband is
standing up to your mother,
who's been giving him crap
from day one.
- Yes.
- You're okay with that.
- I'm okay with that.
- Yeah, she was harsh on him,
and he was really trying hard.
- Okay, your partner
complaining to you
that your focus
on growing your career
is preventing you from
paying ample attention
to him.
- Uh, this is a tough one.
He needs to be a little bit
more supportive.
- Yeah, like, be a--
And romance her a little bit.
Like, she's busy working li--
lights-- light a candle.
Light three wick candle--
- Right, right.
[laughter]
Your ex-husband
building a new home
for your current boyfriend.
- That's crazy.
- That's a no.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- Your partner
shortening your name
when he's getting
stern with you,
like Mark Daly
using the name "Ken"--
- I love it.
- You love it.
- It's so-- 'cause
Kinga dishes it out
and then when he calls her Ken,
she's like, ooh!
- But it's a man's name?
[overlapping chatter]
- Okay, uh, your man
teasing and mocking you
with a bread basket
at dinner,
knowing you're on a diet.
- Nooo.
- No.
- I'm leaving that date.
That date is over.
- Right. Yes.
All right, your ex,
who you co-parent with,
buying your daughter's equity
in a restaurant
for their birthday.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
You gotta build
generational wealth.
- And what is happening
with that restaurant?
- I-In COVID, it closed.
- Ohhh.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
The girls didn't wind up
losing any money on that.
- No.
- They didn't have to,
like, pay anything.
- No.
- Well, their dad did.
- Their dad did.
He lost the place.
All right, very good.
Thanks, Jamal.
Uh, we are gonna
be right back.
After this, we've got--
[cheers and applause]
**
- That's why I think
we have to train
in order to watch
civil rights movies, you know?
You gotta train
the way runners do, right?
Like, if you wanna
become a runner,
you do a couch
to 5k program.
[laughter]
We should do that for watching
civil rights movies, you know?
Like, the first week,
all we're watching?
Space Jam.
[laughter]
- All right, that was our guest,
Phoebe Robinson--
[cheers and applause]
You can also get her book,
which is in stores.
Welcome back to Watch
What Happens Live.
I'm Andy in
the Bravo Clubhouse,
joined by Potomac Housewife
Gizelle Bryant.
Over at the bar,
it's the author of
"The One You
Want To Marry,"
[gibberish]
Sophie Santos.
And you two are
good buddies, right?
- We just met.
I am so obsessed with this suit.
- Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
[applause]
- Drinking game reminder:
anytime you hear this word,
in honor of Chris Bassett
hitting the sauce early,
drink because it's before
5 o'clock somewhere.
By the way, you were s--
just saying something nice
that happened at your
reasonably shady party, uh,
with Karen Huger.
- Yes, um,
while-- they didn't show this,
but when my kids came out
to make sure their
mommy's toe was okay,
'cause it was broken,
um, Karen jumped
out of her seat,
and gave each
of my kids a hug.
- And that meant a lot to you.
- That meant a lot to me,
and it shows that, you know,
we can fuss and fight,
but the kids
stay out of it,
and that's what real good
girlfriends do.
They fight,
leave the kids out of it.
- I love to hear that.
- Yes.
- All right, let's go
to our virtual fans.
Gizelle, here's
Jackie and Jordan
from Indiana with
a question for you.
- Hi, everyone.
Big fans of you all.
So my question
is for Gizelle.
Why did you say Wendy
was overreacting
about the Eddie rumors,
when you didn't
talk to Karen
most of last season
because she was asking
where Jamal was.
Do you think that's
a double standard?
- Okay, but that's not true.
I talked to Karen all season,
even-even when
I didn't want to.
And, um, and it's-
it's not, you know,
Wendy was overreacting
because everyone said
they didn't believe it.
If I said I believed it,
then you have a reason
to go crazy.
But I said I didn't
believe it.
- All right, and here's Tomitcha
from Massachusetts,
with a question for Phoebe.
Hey, Domitcha.
- Hey, guys.
Gizelle, I want you to know
I love you and your shade,
but my question
is for Phoebe.
Since you just released
your third book,
what do you have to say
to your former manager
who said you weren't
famous enough yet
to write a book?
- Oooh.
- Kiss my black ass, bitch.
[cheers and applause]
- Yeeees!
YEEEEES!
- Thanks, virtual fans.
- Yes.
- Um, Gizelle, Cal D. thinks
you just need to sit down
with Wendy, she got
her feelings hurt,
she continues to
lash out at you.
Just sit down
and talk it out.
- Who got their
feelings hurt?
- Wendy.
- Um, of course,
her feelings are hurt.
She's very insecure,
and that-- and I tried
to have that happen,
and she never wanted
to sit down with me.
And that's fine.
'Cause I'm over it.
- So you're saying that
you think it's a her thing
and not a you thing.
- Definitely not a me thing.
- It is a Zen Wen thing.
- Yes.
- And is Zen Wen zen?
- No!
- Well, Phoebe's book dictates
where you can and can't
wear your outside clothes.
Well, Gizelle's friends
think all her clothes
belong outside
on the curb
on trash day.
So I want to see
if Phoebe agrees
as we play
"Fashion or Trash, Hon?"
We're gonna raid
Gizelle's closet
and look at some
of her past looks.
Phoebe, uh, if you
like what you're seeing...
- This is--
I'm never comin' back.
- say "fashion."
If not, you throw it
in the "trash, hon."
Let's go.
- All right.
- Here is Gizelle's
season one, episode one
maxi dress. Phoebe?
- You know what? I like
a maxi dress. Fashion.
I like it. I like it.
- Okay, very good. It's fashion.
Okay, how about
a red leather wrap top
and clear framed glasses?
- Uh...
- Nah.
- You know--
Trash?
- Okay.
- I'll give you that.
I'll give you that.
- Okay, trying to channel
her former first lady vibes
in white and snake
skin accents?
- I was in costume.
I was in costume.
- Okay, what was the costume?
- Yeah.
- To be-- I was in co-- I was
portraying a first lady.
I was in costume.
- Okay.
- Okay, then fashion.
- Okay, very good.
How about this,
uh, red top
and bedazzled
Gucci headband?
- I was in France,
wasn't I?
Where were we then?
- Phoebe?
- They don't wear that
in France, Gizelle!
Gizelle, that's trash!
- I was-- I was in Portugal.
-That's trash. No, no, no.
- She was in Portugal now.
She was in France,
and now she's in Portugal.
Uh, Gizelle's dynamic look
to tourist.
That was in Portugal, okay.
- That was in--
No, that was Fra-
Oh, that was Portugal. Yes.
- Yes. Uh, Phoebe?
- Portugal was a rough time.
- I...
- It's-- that was not that good.
- That's recyclable trash.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh, for someone else. Yes.
I like that.
- So maybe as separates
that would work?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Separates would be cute.
- This is as politician.
- What about a striped cape
and flowing locks?
- Oh, that was good.
- Okay, I like that.
I like the cape.
I'm here for the cape.
- She was everything.
- Okay.
- Yes.
- Okay, we gave her one.
Uh, a lace top,
pink shorts,
and gladiator heels.
- Oh, I-- that was terrible.
I admit it that
that was terrible.
- Yeah, that's trash.
That's trash.
- Yeah, we were in Bermuda,
and I thought those were Bermuda
shorts, and they weren't.
- A lot of the excuses
for the clothes
are location-based.
- It's true. It's true.
- Okay, so you're
blaming the location
where you were
on the outfits.
- I thought they were Bermuda
shorts. They weren't.
- Okay. Okay. No, yeah.
Those were not Bermuda shorts.
- No. No.
- A simple Google would have
un-- discovered that.
- Andy's being shady.
Andy is being shady.
- I am.
- Not reasonable.
- I am rising to the occasion.
How 'bout a little cheetah
jumpsuit action, Phoebe?
- You know what?
I like that.
I would wear that.
- Okay. Very good.
- That's fashion.
That's fashion.
- Okay, how 'bout
a gray boat party dress
with statement necklace?
- That necklace
is crazy.
- I kinda liked it.
Okay. Fine.
- I'm gonna trash it.
- Okay.
- Okay. That's fine.
That was season one.
- How about this
tattered romper Gizelle wore
during the girls' trip
in France?
- Oh, that was France.
- That's cute. That's cute.
- Okay, that's cute.
That was France. Okay.
Okay, now last,
but not least, um,
how do you rate
her outfit tonight?
- I totally-- yeah, I--
this is like--
you're giving me New York black,
like, I'm the head CEO,
you about to get fired.
I love this look.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Okay, very good.
All right, after the break,
more with these two
and a super lit
"Watch What Happens 5."
Don't go anywhere.
[cheers and applause]
* AC in
The NYC *
* NYC
AC *
- All right, welcome back
to "Watch What Happens Live."
It's Andy here
with Gizelle and Phoebe
and Sophie Santos
behind the bar.
You can get your tickets
to Sophie's standup show
October 5th at
the Dynasty Typewriter in LA.
Congratulations.
[cheers and applause]
What's your main topic
in your standup act?
- Uh, so I wrote a show called
"The Lesbian Agenda."
- Okay.
- And it's a very serious show
where we try to enforce
a new world order,
for example,
casting Rachel Weisz
in every lesbian movie
until she becomes a lesbian.
[laughter]
- Perfect. I support this.
- So-so come to the show
if you're into that.
- I absolutely
support this.
Um, Phoebe, Lindsey F.
wants to know your reaction
when you heard Cynthia Bailey's
leaving "Atlanta"
after all these years.
- You know, I'm sad,
'cause I really liked her
on the show,
but I think she was--
she's ready to move on,
so good for her.
- Yes, great form.
- Very good.
Um, and congratulations again
on the book.
It's very funny essays
and very poignant
and great,
and it's your third book,
and mazel tov to you.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- I have to get it.
- Uh, it is time for
"Watch What Happens 5."
Uh, tonight's Eastern Shore trip
was supposed to be GVO.
But Mia's husband G
was more interested
in getting very L-I-T,
so tonight,
we are counting down
the top five sloppiest
house husband moments
of all time.
- Ooh!
- Our number five husband
has always been a smoke show,
but in the last
few years,
he has taken
the term literally.
It's Maurice-- Mauricio
being stoned out of his mind
before Camille's wedding.
- Hopefully, I mean,
the ultimate goal
is to hopefully be with somebody
until the end, right?
So hopefully, you know,
that's, you know, for-for them.
- I don't think
I've heard
the word "hopefully"
used more.
- Oh, did I say it often?
[laughter]
- That was amazing.
Uh, remember when
the Dubrows
allegedly wanted
to take the Beadors down?
Well, our number four clip
shows David Beador
getting very down
with Heather's
mechanical bull moves.
- How about tequila?
- Okay, let's do a tequila shot.
- Club soda.
Yes, please.
My husband
never drinks shots,
let alone at
1:00 in the afternoon.
- Heather, get on it
and ride it.
Come on, Heather.
Ride it hard. Come on.
Ride it, baby. Ride it
hard, baby. Come on.
[cheering]
Come on! Spread the legs!
- Oh, my God.
- Oh!
- We all know how
that story ended.
And then there was
that time
our number three husband
bit off more than he could chew
when he attempted
a forward roll.
It's Joe Giudice
chipping his tooth.
- Watch this.
- [inhales sharply]
- Oh!
- Aah!
- Oh, he hit his face.
- I chipped my tooth.
- How much wine did you--
how many bottles
did you guys have?
- Ew.
[laughter]
- Oh, my,
it never gets old.
Well, we all know
that, uh,
Giudice's brother-in-law
Joe Gorga is old school,
but he once
got so drunk,
he let gravity
take him to school.
That's number two.
I love this.
[laughter]
- (BLEEP) Why are you all wet?
- I-I don't know.
- Okay, our number one
sloppiest house husband
got so carried away--
three of these are Jersey,
I just want to add--
he had to be carried home.
Here's Bill Aydin.
- I'll go easy.
[laughing]
- Got some beer there.
- Yeah, Bill.
Your wife's gonna kill ya.
- You got him?
- Oh, (BLEEP), man.
Come on.
Somebody help me, man.
Take his legs.
- You got him?
Come on, Joe.
[grunting]
Oh, yeah!
- Oh, my God.
- Anyone home?
- What did you guys
do to my husband?
[laughter]
- All right, congratulations
to the fully grown men
who made the list.
I want to thank
Gizelle and Phoebe
and Sophie
for being here.
**
See you tomorrow night
after "Below Deck."
