Andy Cohen has highlighted the bizarre behavior of some internet trolls.
In an Instagram posting, the late-night talk show host posted screenshots of an interaction he had with someone online.
The person who messaged Cohen bluntly states: “You should try and be a better person for your son.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Cohen became a dad when his child, Benjamin, was born February 2019. He often posts photos of himself and his kid on his social media.
“What am I doing wrong?” replied Cohen.
“Oh wow didn’t expect a response. I was just being a troll. You’re doing fine. Sry,” responded the stranger.
“I am indeed a real person. Thanks for understanding,” says Cohen.
“It’s so cool that you responded,” says the now start-struck messenger, before warning. “You probably shouldn’t confront trolls though.”
“You probably shouldn’t troll people though,” replies Cohen.

Cohen captioned his posting, “Social media in a nutshell.”

Among those to comment on the exchange was actor Andrew Rannells, who simply said, “Oh good lord.” Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi responded, “Sheesh.” Many were quick to tell Cohen what a great dad he is and to ignore the haters.

Andy Cohen prob trolled himself or had someone on his payroll do it so he can display what a “great job” he’s doing. Just your typical gaslighting from a narcissist

Yea right, are you from THIS planet ?

“Be a better person” means: don’t let your son see any of the trash you put on TV.

That was exactly my thought. Shield him from all the trashy garbage people he helped make famous.

If you don’t get a Pulitzer for the hard hitting and correctly spelled piece of journalism I’ll be shocked. I don’t who could unearthed and exposed this better.

Dude, probably best to form a full sentence when criticizing others writing.

Coehn was set up on a date with one of the staff of the Stern show and showed up drunk to the date, had a bunch of drinks during the date and had to hit a party afterwards.
He sounds like a handfull.

This was clearly a set up- anyone with half a brain could have told Andy what he was doing wrong. He’s petty, immature, ignorant, deceitful, irresponsible, self centered, vacuous and is personally responsible for lowering the country’s IQ by ten points with his trashy TV shows. After attacking our community’s #1 hag, Kathy Griffin, I can’t believe this queer themed site panders to Andy Cohen. This convinces me that your site is paid by certain celebs to run positive stories about them- Cohen, Underwood, Black, etc.

You talk so much crap about a man you don’t know and who doesn’t know you. I’m pretty sure Andy is doing great living life and raising his son to be concerned what an old hating queen thinks of him. What have you got going on for yourself besides bad mouthing people who haven’t a clue you exist. Do something productive because I’d like to know your personality in person since your so great and holier than thou. Kick rocks grandpa and shove a dildo in your mouth.

And yet all of you haters keep frequenting this site. Queerty must be doing something right.
dhmonarch89
we do it for you- how would you get through the day without being sanctimonious to us for our sanctimony to the site????

I really don’t think that people should put their children on public social media. You can’t do that and then demand privacy. Kids don’t choose their visibility.
