As you know, Pride is about a lot of things — like ensuring that queer safe spaces remain SAFE. And every queer person should be entitled to that safety and privacy, whether you're a celebrity or not.

Sadly, this weekend, a fan saw Andy Cohen out at a bar and decided to secretly record him being intimate with someone else at his table.

One pop culture TikToker led to the video going viral with more than 6.5 million views, as they posted a TikTok of the video and green-screened themselves making judgmental faces as it played behind them.

Normally, we'd embed the video and credit the creator, but we're not going to give any boost to this unethically recorded video.

People criticized the TikToker:

Posting this video is giving huge virgin loser energy
One person said "The fact that it's a gay man judging Andy for doing gay things in a gay space during PRIDE is so wack. Such loser behavior"

And a lot of people supported Andy.

One person said "Filming grown ass men having fun without consent is weird...don't do it people! I'm happy to see Andy having fun"
Justice for Andy Cohen!!!! Let him do gay shit at pride in peace. It's supposed to be a safe space for EVERYONE so whoever put this online absolute trash

In conclusion, stop recording people without their consent. Celebrities are humans and deserve privacy. ENOUGH.

Bravo

Andy has not responded to this situation, but we'll update you if he does.
