At the recent BravoCon, Bravo executive producer and show host Andy Cohen was asked if he would ever make up with Kathy Griffin after their falling out. To everyone's surprise, he responded that they had actually emailed recently.

Kathy decided to show the proof through an Instagram video posted on the 25th. The comedian revealed a few details of the email that Cohen sent her.

"My former nemesis, Andy Cohen, has been talking about me publicly at BravoCon. Someone asked him if he would ever make up with me, and he said, 'Never say never,' and he emailed me this long email, and it was definitely interesting."
"I emailed him back right away. And I don't know what's going to happen there, but I have a lot of feelings about that because I feel hurt in a lot of ways that I don't think he quite 'understands."
"But I appreciate that he said 'never say never.' Because I did love working at Bravo and I would love to do a special at Bravo again or a series or whatever. And never say never."

What happened between Kathy Griffin and Andy Cohen?

The rift between the two can be traced back to 2017 when Andy was onboarded to host CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live alongside Anderson Cooper, replacing Kathy, who got fired for posing with a mask of Donald Trump's face covered in ketchup resembling blood.

Later, when TMZ asked him about the New Year's news, he joked he didn’t know who Griffin was, quoting an iconic moment by Mariah Carey; however, Kathy didn't see that and had already released a 17-minute-long YouTube video going at home, before he gave his explanation.

Cohen had seemed to move on, as in 2018, he told Howard Stern that,

“I got the job on CNN, I’m on Bravo all these hours — I get it. So, hate me. I’ll be that guy for you, if it makes you happy and gives you peace. I’m just not going to take it on. I’m at peace. I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

However, that was not the end of it, as over the years, the two of them have quipped about each other in public. In 2019, in an interview with People magazine, the comedian said Cohen was "one of the worst bosses" she ever had, which Andy dismissed, saying, "She's made up a lot of stuff about me in the past few years that has just been untrue and sad."

But as Andy said, "Never say never," and maybe one day the two will reconcile.
