BravoCon 2023, the much-anticipated gathering of Bravo TV fans, kicked off with Andy Cohen addressing the criticism surrounding Bravo’s treatment of talent. As the beloved face of the network, Cohen urged attendees to focus on the fun aspects of Bravo shows and the joy they bring to viewers.
Amidst the cheers and applause from the enthusiastic crowd, it was clear that there was overwhelming support for Bravo and a dismissal of the criticism.

In a heartwarming moment, Cohen expressed his gratitude for the Housewives franchise, crediting it for his success. During a Q&A panel with former Bravo star Jeff Lewis, the predominant sentiment was positive, with occasional remarks about the economic status of Housewives.
Cohen lightened the atmosphere by suggesting that he would trust any Housewife to babysit his children, drawing laughter from the crowd. There were no immediate signs of concern or backlash from the attendees at BravoCon, who proudly showed their excitement and happiness by sporting shirts adorned with Housewives’ quotes and catchphrases.
Looking ahead, Cohen predicted a messy and shady weekend at BravoCon, encouraging attendees to make new friends and enjoy the full Bravo experience. The coverage of Cohen’s appearances at BravoCon will be extensively covered by The Hollywood Reporter (THR), keeping fans updated on all the action and reveals.
As BravoCon continues, it is clear that the joy and excitement surrounding Bravo shows have overshadowed the criticism. The event serves as a platform for fans to come together, celebrate their favorite reality television moments, and bask in the glamour and drama that only Bravo can provide.
