"Whoever Put This Online Is Absolute Trash": People Are Defending Andy Cohen After Someone Secretly Filmed Him Being Intimate At Pride

"Whoever put this online is absolute trash."

As you know, Pride is about a lot of things — like ensuring that queer safe spaces remain SAFE. And every queer person should be entitled to that safety and privacy, whether you're a celebrity or not.

Sadly, this weekend, a fan saw Andy Cohen out at a bar and decided to secretly record him being intimate with someone else at his table.

One pop culture TikToker led to the video going viral with more than 6.5 million views, as they posted a TikTok of the video and green-screened themselves making judgmental faces as it played behind them.

Normally, we'd embed the video and credit the creator, but we're not going to give any boost to this unethically recorded video. 

People criticized the TikToker:

In conclusion, stop recording people without their consent. Celebrities are humans and deserve privacy. ENOUGH.

Andy has not responded to this situation, but we'll update you if he does.
