It goes down in the DM. after michael rapaport Made another appearance at watch what happens liveone fed up Well done The fan decided to remove the curtain. He shared his personal messages andy cohenWhere he boldly called on the platform to choose Rappaport again and again. To say the least, this exchange has been an eye-opener. This shows how tired some Bravo fans feel of seeing this guy on the network.
Michael recently exited The Traitors Season 4 because a homophobic comment he made about Colton Underwood turned the entire cast against him. Because of Rapaport’s extensive track record of inflammatory and bigoted social media posts, the moment intensified a backlash that was already underway.
An ardent defender of Israel, Michael has repeatedly denied the ongoing genocide in Gaza while mocking Palestinian suffering. He has compared pro-Palestinian protesters to animals and called New York’s first Muslim mayor “disgraced.” Still, Rapaport is always a welcome guest on WWHL.
The ignorance ultimately sidelined the Bravo fan and parody account known as Yolanda Pfister. Their frustration is further heightened when Andy makes a statement about the recent ICE killings, and then announces Rapaport as an upcoming guest.
Yolanda wrote, “Andy Cohen made statements about ICE killings on the same show saying he filed a case against racist Michael Rapaport who said kids in Gaza deserved to die for WWHL…classic liberalism.”
After Michael’s episode aired, Yolanda released a video revealing a series of DMs with Andy. The messages showed a month-long debate about Zionism, Palestine, and the possibility of repeatedly booking someone like Michael. Before his latest appearance, the fan got straight to the point: “Don’t you really admire?”
Andy responded, “You mad that I’m calling Rapaport on my show to talk about traitors and HW? No, I don’t.”
The host continued, “That guy has been coming on Housewives to talk for 15 years, before ‘legitimate’ actors did it. He hasn’t been talking for a year and is now on (Traitors). We’re not discussing his views on Israel and Trump.”
Of course, Rapaport’s attitudes and disgusting past don’t go away just because they’re not on the WWHL cue card. It’s a debate that Yolanda and Andy have maintained for months. However, a DM from last summer suggests that things probably won’t be changing anytime soon.
Andy wrote, “I largely feel like this has been going on for so many years and the people in charge over there (Hamas and Netanyahu) are unaffected by anything I can say or do in this situation. What’s sad is that this is much bigger than all of us.”
