It’s something of a tradition on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live Special for Bravo’s Andy Cohen to trash the outgoing mayor. Every four years, the new mayor is sworn in at midnight, just as Andy and Anderson Cooper are finishing up.
After taking shots for four plus hours, Andy admits that he’s sometimes “blacked-out” by this point. So just as he blasted outgoing mayor Bill De Blasio four years ago, as new mayor Zohran Mamdani was being sworn in, Andy went on an alcohol-fueled tirade against outgoing mayor Eric Adams.
His Honor was not amused. In fact, he hit back at the Watch What Happens Live host, accusing him of having a drinking problem.
Eric Adams claimed Andy Cohen needs AA
Subsequently, on New Year’s Day the former mayor hit back on X, suggesting that Andy should go to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). Rather than accepting Andy’s drunken rant as another example of free speech in entertainment, Adams took the low road.
Calling Andy’s two-minute diatribe “crazy drunken rant,” Adams continued, “If anyone actually cares about him. They’ll tell him to get help.” Couching his comments as a message of “concern,” the mayor added a sanctimonious, “Public intoxication is a disease. [Andy] should seek help.”
Four years ago when Andy drunkenly made fun of Ryan Seacrest, he admitted he’d been somewhat “over-served.” But he added, “I will not be shamed for having fun on New Year’s Eve. That’s why I’m there.”
During his informative monologue about the outgoing mayor, Andy called Adams’ time in office “chaotic” and urged him to retire from politics. Taking exception to this, Mr. Adams’ fired back that Andy was only “safe in Times Square” because “we did our job.”
