Andy Cohen Issues an Apology to Julia Stiles After Being Called Out For His Shady Comments on ‘DWTS’

When Julia Stiles joined Dancing With the Stars season 35, Andy Cohen publicly doubted her dancing abilities on his SiriusXM radio show.Julia delivered an impressive quickstep performance during the DWTS premiere, prompting Andy to publicly apologize on Watch What Happens Live! and declare himself the week’s “Jackhole.”During rehearsals, Stiles told her pro partner Ezra Sosa about Andy’s criticism and vowed to win the mirrorball trophy to prove him wrong.Julia Stiles may have had her last dance on Save the Last Dance, but she’s officially made her way to the Dancing With the Stars ballroom for the fan-favorite reality show’s 35th season. At first, fans were excited to see her lock into some choreo yet again, while some—including the King of Bravo, Andy Cohen—were a little skeptical.During his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy earlier this month, Andy spoke about Julia’s infamous Juilliard audition scene from Save the Last Dance with her co-star, Kerry Washington.“Can we all just agree that Julia Stiles is not the greatest dancer on the planet?” he said at the time, while Kerry came to her defense and claimed that the film’s choreographer, Fatima Robinson, is a “legend.”However, after Julia crushed it during her quickstep routine during the DWTS season premiere, Andy officially walked back on his comments.He apologized to her on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live!, where he declared himself the “Jackhole” of the week.“Tonight’s Jackhole goes to Me!” Andy said. “Julia, I am so sorry. I’m the last person who should be giving anyone feedback on their dancing.”He later added, “Great job, Julia Stiles! You killed tonight!”Andy’s apology comes after Julia called him out for his initial comments during DWTS rehearsals, when she asked her pro partner, Ezra Sosa, “Andy Cohen, do you know [him]?”“Yes, that diva,” Ezra said with an eye roll, before she admitted that Andy’s comments were “imprinted” in her brain.“We’re going to win the mirrorball, sit on Andy’s couch and be like, ‘Hey,’” she later told Ezra, who agreed and gave her a high five.Welp…if we miraculously see Andy watching from the DWTS audience one of these days, I wouldn’t be surprised!
