Honestly still reeling from part one of The Real Housewives of New York reunion—specifically thanks to the second-hand awkwardness that radiated from my screen when Andy Cohen asked Jessel Taank what work she’s had done to make her look “airbrushed.”
Direct quote: “I have to say, you’ve gotten a glow-up since last season. You look like an airbrushed version of yourself. What has happened?”

Jessel tried her best to dodge the question, joking “I mean, was I heinous before?” and then claimed to have cut her hair, lost some weight, and gotten a sprinkle of Botox. Which both Andy and Brynn Whitfield were not having. After being pressed, Jessel added “I get Botox, and I get filler. I’ve always done that, OK? And I take care of my skin, lots of water. And I lost some weight.”
Andy then countered with “Your teeth also look different,” and Jessel confirmed she’d also gotten veneers.
“what work have you done” remains at the top of the list of viewer questions every season, every franchise. The HW have unabashedly let us into their beauty regimes since day one; It’s a big part of the series DNA. https://t.co/bitAalU1LA

Some viewers didn’t love Andy going so hard on Jessel’s appearance, but the Bravo host defended himself on Twitter, saying “’what work have you done’ remains at the top of the list of viewer questions every season, every franchise. The HW have unabashedly let us into their beauty regimes since day one; It’s a big part of the series DNA.”

He also responded to a fan who wrote “Patiently waiting for Andy to share all the work he’s done on his body over the years” with “i had botox for the first time 3 weeks ago. been talking about it on the radio a lot. after all i ask the women in the last 18 years of Housewives, i will be transparent if i ever do anything else!”
