Andy Cohen Reacts to Julia Stiles Calling Him Out on Dancing With the Stars
How Jenna Dewan, Channing Tatum’s Daughter Everly Reacted to Her ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Casting
Andy Cohen is walking back a misstep.
During the Dancing With the Stars season 35 two-night premiere Sept. 16, Julia Stiles addressed comments Cohen had made about the dance routine that got her character into Julliard in Save the Last Dance.
“The quote is imprinted in my brain,” Stiles told her duet partner Ezra Sosa, before the show cut to a 2025 clip of Cohen saying, “Can we all just agree that Julia Stiles is not the greatest dancer on the planet?”
But after Stiles and Sosa shut the house down with a quickstep performance to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” even judge Derek Hough declared, “Andy Cohen, you can eat it.”
To Cohen’s credit, he ate his crow with a smile during the subsequent episode of Watch What Happens Live Sept. 16, making himself the show’s “Jackhole of the Day.”
“Julia, I am so sorry,” Cohen said. “I am the last person who should be giving anyone feedback on their dancing.”
Cohen playfully added a video of himself badly dancing at a concert, before emphasizing, “Great job, Julia Stiles.”
