and she'll put your ass
in the hot seat.
It's "Watch What Happens Live"

Hey, everybody, welcome
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I'm your host Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse
with two iconic guests.
My first is a comedian,
writer and performer
who blew up on Instagram
after blowing up people's spots
in her IG Live interview show.
You can currently catch her
on "Dickinson,"
now streaming
on Apple TV+.
New episodes drop on Fridays.
It's our friend Ziwe!
Hey, Ziwe!
[cheers and applause]
My next guest is
a megastar model and actress
who is expanding her body
of work as a writer.
Her debut book "My Body"
has everyone talking.
Please welcome
Emily Ratajkowski!
Hey, Emily!
Great to see you!
- Thank you.
Thanks for having me.
- Congratu-- everybody's
talking about the book.
- Oh, thanks so much.
- Congratulations. Very cool.
- Thank you.
I'm so happy to be here.
- And you two are actually
legitimate friends, right?
- We're actual friends.
We were just
talking about that.
- Wow, I love it.
- Yeah, we connected--
I-I loved her essay
in "New York Magazine,"
and I-- we started becoming
friends after that.
- Yeah, and now we, like, see
each other kind of a lot.
- Yeah, too much.
- Like, every week.
I think we-we've been spending
a lot of time together.
I thought she was gonna
say no to this, honestly.
- Okay, perfect.
- I was like,
maybe she's sick of me.
- Well, this makes me happy.
You know what else
makes me happy?
Today's Veterans Day,
and our bartenders tonight
share two distinct honors.
Not only are they
military veterans,
they're also two
of my favorite
"Watch What Happens Live"
staffers.
Say hi to David Hohn
and Arianne Rain!
Hi, guys!
[cheers and applause]
- So both Army vets, right?
- Yes.
- Did you two
look this good in the Army?
- No.
- No. Okay.
Is working for
"Watch What Happens Live"--
are there any similarities
to the Army?
- Yes.
It's why I feel at home.
- Oh, my God.
Really? Okay.
Drinking game alert--
My guests won't know it,
but any time you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
take an M-Shotta
of booze.
Um, by the way,
if anyone's doubting
that the two of you
are actually friends,
here you were
on Halloween.
Uh, this is super cute.
You're giving me
a little "Legally Blonde."
Is that right?
- Yes. Yes.
I was going
as Reese Witherspoon
as "Legally Blonde"
as a Playboy Bunny.
- Mm-hmm.
- Perfect. I love it.
And you were just a witch.
- A witch.
I-I mean, it was around
the corner from my house.
I'm a mom now.
I-I have excuses.
- It's a modern deconstruction
of Halloween.
- Thank you.
That's what she told me.
So I was telling
people that.
- By the way,
you know what's so funny?
During COVID, for some--
the-the paparazzi were
in front of my building a lot.
They're never
in front of my building,
and I said to them one day,
"Why are you guys here?"
It was, like,
April of 2020,
and they said the only
two people in town
are you and Emily,
and I said,
"Oh, that's so funny."
Well, there you go.
- That's a big, like,
source of pride
for native New Yorkers,
if you stayed through COVID,
so, um, I'm really happy
that the record
has been set straight.
- Absolutely. We were there.
- Now I'm a New Yorker.
Yeah, we were there.
- Uh, Ziwe,
if you didn't come here raring
to go
with hot takes on all
the latest Bravo happenings,
hell has officially
frozen over,
or it's snowing in Pasadena,
whichever feels less likely.
So let me present you
with some Bravo goings on.
Tell us,
"Is That Okay, Ziwe?"
Um, in "Potomac,"
is it okay
that Mia tossed a handful
of salad at Candiace?
- Um, I don't think
it's okay to waste food,
but I hate salad,
so, middle-- mixed.
- And whose side
were you on there?
- I was on Mia's side,
I think,
but Candiace follows me, so...
[laughing]
- Um, is it okay
that Mary purposefully
wanted to fool Whitney
into wearing a gangster
mafia dress coat
when everyone else was in
Italian streetwear?
- Iconic.
That's how I would
describe that behavior.
I'm terrified of Mary.
I will say nothing else.
- Okay. Is it okay
that Erika told Sutton
she was acting like a bitchy,
effing, CU-Next-Tuesday
at the reunion?
- I love Sutton Stracke.
I'm-I'm a-slutton
for Sutton.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- I've forgiven her
for her-her-her--
you know, mis-misdeeds.
- Okay.
- Honestly, no,
it wasn't okay.
- Okay, is it okay
that Candiace
came for Ashley's forehead
every chance she got?
- Um, forehead on forehead
crime is not okay,
and I think we have to--
we have to defund,
abolish, deconstruct--
I don't like that.
- Um, is it okay that Mary
gifted the ladies
Louis Vuitton aprons
that were, in fact,
not Louis Vuitton?
- You know,
it's really confusing,
because when it-
it was an Italian
theme-themed party.
- So maybe Gucci
would have more--
- Certainly not
a French brand,
but also we don't support
fake, fraudulent--
- Brands. Yes.
At the reunion,
is it okay that Erika
snapped at Crystal
for saying that she didn't
seem angry enough?
- No, I love Crystal.
- Your general feelings
about Erika at the reunion?
- Erika makes me
supremely uncomfortable.
And I found it--
what's the word? Eerie?
Um, you know,
I think I wouldn't behave--
I don't--
I'm terrified of her.
Mary, Erika-- fear.
- Um, in "Potomac,"
is it okay
that viewers
were suggested--
subjected to
a sexy date night
between Michael
and Ashley Darby?
- What is the opposite of
porn?That's how I felt.
- Um, is it okay that Lisa
came for Garcelle
because she didn't thank her
for the pasta?
- Garcelle is
a living legend,
a modern Rosa Parks.
She is our--
she is a gift to the--
Think about
"Real Housewives."
She is breaking barriers
for "Beverly Hills."
I saw laughs.
I heard them. No.
She is what we deserve.
She is an icon.
She is a legend,
and she is a moment.
- Thank you very much, Ziwe.
I appreciate it.
Um, well,
this is our first time
having supermodel Emily
in the Clubhouse,
so I want to capture
a snapshot
with some get to know you
questions
in a little
"Clubhouse Quickie."
What was your first
modeling gig you booked,
and what did you think of it
at the time?
- Um, I did
"Teen" magazine,
um, and I was like--
I had crimped hair,
and I remember the makeup artist
overtweezed my eyebrows,
and I was very upset.
Thank God they grew back.
- What's your most--
what's your most-used emoji?
- Um, now it's just the, like,
lame smiley face.
I'm so sorry.
- Okay. That's nice. I like it.
- The-the pink cheeks.
You know what I mean?
- So, smile.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Uh, what was
your first concert?
- Um, God,
I want to say
Beyonce, Alicia Keys,
Missy Elliott trifecta,
um, in Anaheim, and I really--
it left an impression.
- Um, what was
your first kiss?
- First kiss?
Um, seventh grade.
It was the theater,
and we were, like, between--
It was after rehearsal,
and we, like,
made out backstage,
and everyone--
It was very scandalous.
- Oh, and it was, like,
a theater guy?
- It was a theater guy.
- Did he come out later?
- I'm sure.
I actually don't know.
We haven't--
I don't know where he is.
- Guilty pleasure
TV show to binge?
- Oh, my God,
all-all of the TV?
I don't have a specific one.
All TV, just in general.
- What's the first thing you do
when you wake up?
- Um, go get my son, feed him,
put him back in bed,
and he falls asleep
for another hour,
and it's heaven.
- What was the hardest step
in writing your book?
It's so personal.
- Yeah, the whole thing
is very personal.
I'd say honestly publishing it
might be the hardest part.
- Yes, yes.
- Yeah, which I didn't expect.
- Right, all right,
thank you very much Emily.
[cheers and applause]
By the way, is there
any one person
that you were nervous
about reading it?
A family member?
- Yeah, I mean,
I think, you know,
my parents, of course,
you're always worried
about your parents
reading that kinda stuff.
Um, but honestly,
it's felt really good
to, like, get it out
in the world, and have
people I love read it,
you know?
- And the response
has been great.
- It's been great.
- So congratulations.
Since both of my guests
always look so put together,
I would love to get
their style reads
on our favorite folks
who tend to get messy:
Bravolebrities.
It's time for
"Fashion or Trash, Hun."
Ziwe and Emily,
if you like the following looks,
say "fashion."
If not, chuck 'em
in the trash, hun.
Okay, what about
Kyle's very youthful
reunion look
and wild hair?
- I'm gonna say fashion.
- Okay.
- I love the hair.
- It's giving
Lizzie Maguire realness.
- Okay.
Uh, fashion or trash, hun:
Mia's floral full-length gown?
- I'm gonna say trash, hun.
I'm so sorry.
- You know, and I'm going
to say fashion,
because look
at all those dots.
Dots are fashion.
- "Dots are fashion."
Fashion or trash, hun:
Jen's bright leather
italian streetwear look.
- Fashion, I love
the beret.
- Yeah, I'm honestly a big fan
of all of these.
- Oh my god,
it's giving appropriation.
- Okay.
- Oh, god.
- Um, what is she
appropriating there?
- Isn't that
the italian episode?
- Yeah.
- You can't have
an Italian party.
- But that's a beret,
that's French.
- Yeah, but-- exactly.
- So she was wrong about--
[overlapping chatter]
- Okay, the ultimate,
Crystal's "ugly" leather pants.
Fashion or trash, hun?
- Okay, I'm gonna be honest.
- What?
- Trash, hun.
- I'm gonna say fashion,
because she wore it--
I-I hung out with her,
and she wore the same pants,
and I was like, girl,
do you have other pants?
And-- But I like that,
that's cool.
- Where did you
hang out with her?
- At the Crosby Hotel.
- Wow.
- Yeah, she's awesome.
And they were great pants.
- All right,
thank you very much.
Fashion or trash, hun:
Wendy's orange pencil skirt.
- I think fashion.
I love it.
The-- look at the body,
she looks great.
- Yes, and-and also, like,
note that happi and ness
are also on display,
and so I'm loving
everything I'm seeing.
- Okay, fashion
or trash, hun:
Lisa Rinna's purple
leopard look.
- I'm a huge Lisa fan.
- Really!
- Again, we follow each other
on instagram,
have a little relationship,
so fashion.
- Oh.
- Ziwe is not feeling it.
Okay, how about Jen's
fresh wolf fresh look?
Is that appropriating
wolf culture?
- Yes, yes, I think
that she needs
to give that fur
back to the nature.
- Okay.
- Oh my god.
- Um, okay, last up:
Meredith's sparkly
tuxedo blazer.
- I love Meredith.
She's an icon.
She's a legend.
I mean, it's be--
I-I-- It's-- I wish--
The only thing that
this outfit is missing
is a pearl face mask.
- Why?
- Uh, it's a long story.
- Oh, okay, okay.
- Thank you very much
for playing
"Fashion or Trash, Hun."
Um, by the way,
loved you on Succession.
You said you were
a huge fan of the show.
My question that I've been
wondering this season is
was Kendal always
this dumb,
or is he dumber
this season?
- Is he stupider
this season?
Um, I mean,
it's an exploration.
I think he's really
stupid this season.
[overlapping chatter]
- The wrap didn't
throw you off--
[more overlapping chatter]
How soon you forget.
- Yes.
But I just think,
going into the show
of your kind of
fictional character,
who is actually you,
thinking that he was going
to game the system,
it was... I was very upset.
I was nervous.
- It's iconic, and honestly,
I wish that he had sat down
with her.
- Yes.
All right, coming up,
more with Ziwe and Emily.
Here's who's on
the show next week.
We'll be right back.
**
- If I can be
the first black woman
to sue a white man
in court, and win,
then you can stay awake
one more night
to write my next chapter,
which is about
how I did that.
- Okay, okay.
Yes, you're right.
You've gotta
keep fighting.
Can't give up.
That's what Henry
used to say.
- That's right,
because I'm not gonna die.
No, I'm going home
like a shooting star.
Watch me light up the night
with my energy.
Can you believe
I'm sixty?
- You don't know
your exact birthdate.
- Betty, I'm roughly 66,
and I look good as hell.
- That was a clip
of my guest, Ziwe,
in "Dickinson," streaming now
on AppleTV+.
New episodes
drop on Fridays.
Welcome back to Watch
What Happens Live.
I'm Andy Cohen
in the Bravo Clubhouse,
also joined
by Emily Ratajkowski.
Her debut book, "My Body,"
is out now.
Serving us drinks
at the bar,
it's two Watch What
Happens Live staffers
who both actually served s--
and they serve me every day.
They serve the world.
Say hi to military veterans
David Hone and Arianne Rain.
Hi.
Serving and serving
and serving.
By the way, you're a writer
on "Dickinson" too.
So did you write yourself
a great part?
- I wrote 307,
which I'm also in,
but I did not cast myself.
I just wrote Sojourner Truth,
and then I learned through,
you know, hard work and talent,
it pays off.
- Yes, it does.
Drinking game reminder:
anytime you hear this word,
drink until you'd make
an iconic mess.
Let's take questions
from our virtual fans.
Jackie and Cory from Maryland
have a question for Ziwe.
Look right here.
- Hi, everyone.
Happy Veterans Day
to our friends at the bar.
My question's for Ziwe.
Ziwe, what was your reaction
to seeing Jen Shah
flee right before the feds came
to the Beauty Lot parking lot,
and what did you think
of her saying
that Charrisse had
internal bleeding
in the hospital?
- That was quite compelling.
- It was deeply disturbing.
Of all the lies
to come up with,
internal bleeding
is something
that people will
follow up o-- with.
You know? It's like,
I would say
"A family emergency."
Keep it vague.
But the specificity
is what really freaked me out.
- Did you--
what was your reaction
to the last eight minutes
of the show the other night?
- I mean, that wide shot
when they're in the car
and you can see the feds
in the window,
I mean, Emmys, Oscars.
CFDA Awards.
Every single award,
give it to them.
[cheers]
- Megan from New York
wants to know, uh,
she has a question
for Emily, yes. Megan.
- Hi guys.
So Emily, since your essay
about Blurred Lines
was largely taken out of context
when it was leaked in the press,
what do you want people
to know most about
that specific essay,
and about making
that music video?
- Oh, good question.
- That's such a good question.
Um, well, I think people
have to read the essay,
and I think I'm gonna
be able to say here
is really gonna
sum it up.
Um, but I think it's a really
complicated picture.
I had a great time
on that set in many ways.
Um, this one moment happened.
It's also really a picture
of just, like, a young girl
starting to-to model
and be a working model
and think about the prospect
of money and success,
um, and, uh, I just want people
to read the whole essay, so...
- Have you heard
from Robin Thicke
since the essay was published?
- I have not. I have not, no.
- Did you expect to?
- No. It wasn't--
You know, the essay wasn't
written as a gotcha moment.
It's about me sort of setting
the record straight,
and sharing the--
the whole truth
and, um, my experience
with the world.
- What-what's one thing
that you hope
that women take away
from your book?
- Um, I mean, in that essay
particularly,
I want people to kind of talk
about power dynamics
that I think are
often shrouded on-on sets,
but also just on dates
and-and the world in general.
I think when you're 19,
and, you know,
you're coming into adulthood
as a young woman,
you can feel like
you're the most powerful
person in the room,
and there's-there's some power,
but attention, validation,
that comes with that.
Um, but it's-it's really more--
It's more complicated than that.
- Very good.
Yes, it is.
Um, Ziwe, Steph A. said,
"I saw you and Pete Davidson
are both starring
"in a new campaign
for a clothing company.
"Did you meet him at all,
and can you understand
"how Kim K. is interested?"
- I have not--
Oh, I've met Pete before,
but I didn't meet him
during my shoot.
- Okay.
- Um, I think his energy is--
it's enigmatic,
so I-- hey, God bless.
- There's other kinds of ways
that they call that energy now.
- Good bless.
- There's another--
there's a turn of phrase.
- Big dick energy.
- That's right. Thank you.
- I mean, have--
does that mean that
you have a big dick?
- Uh-huh.
- Or you just have-- yes?
- Well, it just means you act
like you have one,
and, like, you give the vibe.
- Got it.
- But you also have BDE.
- Thank you. So do you.
- Thank you.
- That's why we're friends.
- Two tops.
- Mm-hmm.
- Do I?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- Andy, what?
- I know. Well, I mean,
and I'm a power top, obviously.
Sorry, guys.
- Oh, no.
- Uh, Emily has
an Instagram following
of 28.5 million people,
so here are two fun facts.
More people follow Emily
than live in the entire
country of Venezuela,
and she is not seeing
any of your DMs,
so you can definitely
stop sending them,
and she is nodding right now.
- That's true.
- While that tough news
sinks in,
why not play a round
of "Who! Has!
More! Followers!?"
I'm gonna present you both
with pairs of celebrities.
Guess who has the bigger IG.
Okay, Rihanna
or Jennifer Lopez?
Ziwe?
- Rihanna.
- Emily?
- I think I know the answer.
I think it's JLo.
- It is JLo!
- Wow.
- Um, what about JoJo Siwa
or Lizzo?
- Jo-- uh, Lizzo.
- Lizzo?
- Lizzo, by 600,000.
Chance the Rapper
or Lil Nas X? Ziwe?
- Lil Nas X.
- Yeah, Lil Nas X.
- Chance the Rapper.
- Oh!
- Addison Rae or Paris Hilton?
- Addison Rae.
That one was easy.
- Yes, she does.
- But I love Paris.
- Yeah, me, too.
Awkwafina or Olivia Jade?
- Olivia Jade?
- Yeah, uh, I'll say Awkwafina
just to--
- Yes, it's Awkwafina.
- Wow. That was lucky.
- Camila Cabello
or Shawn Mendes?
- Camila Cabello.
- Camil-Camila for sure.
- It's Shawn Mendes.
- Wow!
- Wow, by six million.
Megan Thee Stallion
or Madison Beer?
- Megan Thee Stallion?
- I think I know it's Madison.
- You know it's Madison?
- It is Madison.
- Oh, my gosh.
- By two million.
Timothee Chalamet
or Michael B. Jordan?
- Timothee.
- Tim-oh-tay. Tim-oh-shay.
- Tim-oh-tay?
No, it's Michael B.!
Thank you for playing
"Who! Has! More! Followers!?"
Stick around. After the break,
more with these two,
and a special
"Mazel of the Day."
We'll be right back.
[cheers and applause]
* B-R-B
Be right back *

- Hey, everybody, welcome back
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I'm Andy,
here with Ziwe,
Emily, and David
and Arianne at the bar.
[cheers and applause]
Emily, Florence I. said,
"Since you write about it
"in your book,
what do you say to people
"who think that posing nude
is anti-feminist?
"I think it's empowering."
- I think it depends
on who you are.
Um it's-it's different
for everyone.
I love how I'm getting
all the serious questions.
You're getting
all the fun ones.
- Well, I mean, you wrote
a serious book.
- I wrote a serious book,
and I really appreciate it.
Um, yeah, no, listen,
I think that, um,
women wanting
to do what they--
with-with their bodies
what they want
that is up to them,
and that's important,
and we should not judge
other women.
[cheers and applause]
- Uh, Ziwe, Marissa D. said,
"Now that the 'Beverly Hills'
reunion is concluded,
"were there any questions you
felt weren't asked to Erika
"that you wanted
to hear from?"
- I mean, I guess--
So Bravo was shooting--
"Real Housewives" was shooting
while she had moved
from her Pasadena house
to her, like, west side...
- Yes.
- Armie Hammer house,
so I wonder, like,
how do they all--
How did we all miss that?
I'd love to see
what was happening.
- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, like, what--
How quickly did it happen?
Over the course of a day?
Fourteen days? Yeah.
- Right. Right.
The logistics of that.
- Yeah, it's-- I--
- She didn't care--
she didn't seem to care
to discuss that with me
when I said,
"How did you
make that happen?"
That was on-- That was one
of the things she said,
"Yeah, I can't answer that."
- She was really--
She had a lot
of strong emotions.
- Yes. It was a roller coaster.
- You did a great job.
- Oh, thank you.
Uh, Emily, Lila R. wants to know
who you were most excited to
meet at this year's Met Gala.
- Um, I met Beyonce
a couple years back,
and I've never recovered,
and so I walk into the Met
with a lot of confidence now,
because I've-I've met the queen.
- Right.
- And it was-- Yeah.
I've told you this story.
It was right after
"Lemonade" came out,
and I was saying hello
to Solange, and, um,
she was like, "Oh, do
you want to meet--
Have you met my sister?"
And I was like--
- Oh, boy.
- And there was Beyonce.
And I totally
embarrassed myself.
- What did you say?
- Something really embarrassing.
- No, tell us what you said.
- Come on, what'd you say?
- I was like,
"No man has done
"what you have done
with 'Lemonade.'"
I'd had, like, a little bit
of champagne,
and I had decided--
I just decided to go for it,
and it was-- it was wrong.
- How did it land?
- She was so nice, of course,
because she's used to people
losing their minds.
Um, but I've never lived it down
or recovered so, yeah.
I just keep it together now
at the Met.
I'm like, "That's all right.
"We don't have to say hi
to that person.
"We'll be fine."
- Right. It's okay.
Well, it is time for
my "Mazel of the Day."
Since today is Veterans Day,
I'd be remiss
not to use this opportunity
to send a message of gratitude
to all of the brave
service people
who've served our nation
past and present.
Around this time of year,
I like to tell the story
of a woman named Kate
who approached me
at an AC2 show
and gave me
the American flag
that I keep on the shelf
right behind me.
Her husband
was on active duty
in the Middle East
at the time,
and he had worn that patch
on his last deployment.
Before he left again,
he asked her to
give the patch to me
since I kept her company
every night while he was away.
I don't take the significance
of that gift for granted,
and I definitely don't take
the tremendous gifts
our veterans have given us
for granted either.
This patch should be
a nightly reminder
to our military service
and sacrifice
each and every day.
Thank you from
the bottom of my heart
to everyone who has served.
We have no Jackhole tonight.
I want to thank Ziwe, Emily,
David, and Arianne
for being here.
The word of the night was "she."
We said it 16 times.
If you've been playing our
drinking game, no driving.
Get Emily's book. Get my book
while you're at it.
Sunday night, Heather Gay
and Michael Rapaport
after an explosive
"Salt Lake City" episode.
You do not want to miss it.
Watch Ziwe's show
on Apple TV Plus.
We will see you
next time, folks.
