Carole Radziwill Makes Surprise Return to Bravo After 7 Year Absence — and Shares Hug with Andy Cohen: 'So Crazy'
Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to Bravo on Aug. 4 during an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen
The former RHONY star hugged Andy Cohen and joked about being back in the Clubhouse for the first time in seven years
Radziwill promoted her new CNN documentary American Prince: JFK Jr. about her cousin John F. Kennedy Jr., airing Aug. 9And just like that, Bravo's very own Carrie Bradshaw is back.
Carole Radziwill made a surprise return to the network on Monday, Aug. 4, in an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
It's the first time the What Remains author has been on the network since her departure from The Real Housewives of New York City seven years ago. She famously had a falling out with executive producer Andy Cohen, though as PEOPLE exclusively revealed in November 2024, the two had squashed the beef.
Certainly that's what viewers saw on his late night show. Entering into Cohen's Clubhouse after a game of 'Mystery Housewife Caller,' Radziwill greeted her former boss with a big grin and an enthusiastic hug.
"It's Carole Radziwill!" Cohen told guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, giving her a round of applause. "Making a triumphant return! Good to see you!"
Radziwill, for her part, took a moment to get used to her surroundings. "This is so crazy, by the way, to be here," she admitted, looking around.
"I know, it's been a minute! Radzi, it's been a minute!" Cohen told her, using his nickname for her.
Yang and Rogers then showered Radziwill with praise. "We're honored to be here for you coming back," Rogers said. "One of the things that made me fall in love with Housewives. I remember, season 7, when you went on the vacation with Dorinda [Medley] and you were both connecting over your [dead husbands], that was really when I was first truly moved by a Housewives show. I just, I love you on the show."

Before the series ended, Radziwill plugged her upcoming appearance on CNN's upcoming three-part documentary American Prince about her cousin, John F. Kennedy, Jr. It airs Aug. 9.
"It's nice because I don't participate in a lot of that, but I had a chance to say something nice about John and George [magazine]," she said. "I'm probably the only woman in the world who's tired of seeing John without a shirt on, so I get to talk about what really mattered to him and his passion and his magazine and of course, Carolyn [Bessette-Kennedy]."

Cohen and Radziwill were friends before she joined the cast of RHONY in season 5, which aired in 2012. The two appeared to be friendly during her years on the show, but things between them became fractured as her friendship with Bethenny Frankel fell apart.
For years, the two only communicated while trading jabs in the press and on social media. But at Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in November, Cohen told PEOPLE that he and Radziwill had "reconnected" after six years of not speaking.
"It feels great," the 57-year-old father of two said at the time. "Carole and I knew each other for years, before she was ever on the Housewives — for many years. I think I've known her more outside of the Housewives than I have in the Housewives. So it was definitely good to reconnect."
Speaking with PEOPLE soon thereafter, Radziwill, 61, said she was glad she and Cohen had finally talked.
"We both came to understand that our disagreements had everything to do with the high-pressure nature of the show and very little to do with our friendship, which preceded it," she said. "Andy and I are very much on the same page now, and I'm happy about that."
Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen airs Sunday-Thursday evenings on Bravo.

Kenan Thompson & Allison Janney Honored At Las Culturistas Culture Awards With Titan Of Culture & Lifetime Of Culture Accolades
Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang's Las Culturistas Culture Awards made their splashy debut on Bravo, honoring Kenan Thompson and Allison Janney with special trophies. The award show that celebrates culture honored the SNL star with the Titan of Culture award, while Janney was presented with the Lifetime of Culture award. More from Deadline 'Las Culturistas Culture Awards' 2025 Red Carpet Photos: Paige DeSorbo, Bowen Yang, Jamie Lee Curtis & More Las Culturistas Culture Awards 2025 Nominations List: Paige DeSorbo, Lady Gaga, Michael B. Jordan, Egg McMuffin & More Score Nods 'RHOM' Season 7 Midseason Trailer: Kiki Breaks Down Over "Death Threats," Adriana & Julia Friendship Fallout & Marysol Accused Of Being A Manipulator Former SNL co-star Aidy Bryant took the stage at The Orpheum Theater to present Thompson with the accolade. 'Give the Black man the black one,' Thompson joked as he took the stage, referring to the color of his trophy. Thompson's clip package included scenes from his days at Nickelodeon's All That and Kenan & Kel, as well as his time on the NBC late-night sketch show. 'Thank you very much, wow! This is amazing! Yes, it is I, thespian Kenan Thompson. You know me from my work, including but not limited to the words, 'Tweedle-dee-doo,' 'What?!', 'Shut up!', 'No! My Gucci shoes!', and ''Ooh-wee, what's up with that?'' He continued, 'It really is a dream come true for me to win a Las Culturistas Culture Award. Thank you to Aidy 'Sweet Baby' Bryant. Aidy was on SNL for 10 years. And that is only 190 years less than me. I have been on your TV forever. I'm going to be in your hearts for even longer, I hope.' To present Janney with her award, Kristen Wiig took the stage as herself, versus a character she may or may not have played earlier in the show, who was said to be the Riddler's secretary. 'I don't think anything better will ever happen to me in my life. That was extraordinary. May I just say that after 30 years, I am finally excited to receive an award … that is worthy of accepting while not wearing any pants,' Janney said while accepting her award. 'Bowen and Matt, thank you so much for having me tonight. You don't really sit around thinking about your impact on culture. But thanks to you and this very sparkly award — this is f**king gorgeous! I could wear it as a hat — I want to thank Kristen [Wiig] for being here. Working with her on Palm Royale, you all know – she's magic and I love her very much of being here tonight.' She continued, 'I've had an incredibly lucky life and I've had the opportunity of working with so many amazing people and one parakeet — but seriously, I've always said that acting is a team sport, and working in an ensemble with a community of artists brings me more joy than anything I ever could have imagined. And to have my work become part of the cultural zeitgeist and recognized by the Las Culturistas community, it's incredibly humbling and probably my favorite award show I've ever attended.' Now let's all remember how Jamie Lee Curtis greeted Allison Janney on the red carpet of the award show in the video below. Following its broadcast on Bravo, Las Culturistas Culture Awards is also available to stream on Peacock.
