Andy Cohen is laughing off plastic-surgery rumors that snowballed after his CNN New Year’s Eve appearance, insisting the tweaks are minimal and the speculation is overblown.
What He Actually Had Done
On the Jan. 5 edition of Andy Cohen Live, the Bravo personality walked listeners through the short list:
- A “teeny” amount of Botox
- Four minor veneers on his front teeth
- 20-lb weight drop from micro-dosing a GLP-1 drug
- Heavy camera makeup, bronzed by Anderson Cooper’s artist
Cohen first shared the same details on Jan. 1 via Threads, adding that the lighting and long hours of glam also played a part.
Health Journey Backstory
The host has been open about his rigorous health routine, revealing in September that he used a GLP-1 to slim down after doctors flagged arterial plaque and high blood pressure. He told listeners it felt “hypocritical” to hide the medication after years of grilling guests on their own body regimens.
Mayor Adams’ Jab
Cohen’s CNN segment also drew fire from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who posted on X that the host’s “drunken rant” was a sign of “public intoxication” and urged him to “get help.”
Key Takeaways
- Cohen’s only cosmetic work is tiny Botox and four veneers
- His thinner face stems from GLP-1 use, not surgery
- Transparency remains core to his public brand
- Political friction with Adams adds another headline layer
By tackling the rumors head-on, Cohen keeps the conversation squarely on his terms-and keeps viewers watching.
