Andy Cohen has a comeback.

The television host spoke out after Lisa Kudrow accused Bravo producers of staging a “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” scene during the cast’s trip to Italy this season.

“It blew up that people were saying she was calling me out on fakery on the show,” Cohen began on Wednesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.

He explained to his co-host, John Hill, that the scene Kudrow was referencing was the one in which Dorit Kemsley left fellow cast members Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne stranded in Italy after a blowout fight.

“Dorit said, ‘Screw you,’ and got in the Mercedes van and left,” Cohen continued. “What Lisa was pointing out was there was another Mercedes van there, so they weren’t stranded.”

However, the dad of two said he had heard from producers that Kemsley “stranded them in town.”

“The other car was the crew vehicle that was taking the crew somewhere else,” Cohen shared. “So Kyle and Erika then called the house to ask for a ride back. They called the house and that’s why the van that had just dropped off the crew then returned to get Erika and Kyle.”

The radio host promised that Jayne and Richards “walking on the street” and waiting for a car was “real.”

He added that the reality stars were waiting “for some time” before the crew van returned to get them.

“It’s not even that interesting,” Cohen mused. “I’m sorry to bore you guys, but that is what happened.”

The uncomfortable moment between the author and Kudrow took place during Monday night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”

While on air, Cohen asked the “Friends” star if she watches any “Housewives” franchises.

“Yes [I do],” Kudrow replied before warning Cohen, “I saw the ‘Beverly Hills’ [episode] — you don’t want me to discuss it. I am telling you right now.”

“The other car was the crew vehicle that was taking the crew somewhere else,” Cohen elaborated. “So Kyle and Erika then called the house to ask for a ride back” (as pictured here). BRAVO

“I am just going to say Black Mercedes sprinter twins. I caught that, I’m sorry,” the “Comeback” star quipped, to which Cohen awkwardly chuckled and responded, “OK, yeah.”

Despite Kudrow’s disbelief at the scene being real, Richards revealed that she and Kemsley were no longer on speaking terms after their massive fallout.

Before the episode in question aired, the Bravolebrity told Us Weekly in December that they had a “big blowout” fight because the “Unburdened” author is “not open-minded.”

“When she has something in her head, that’s it,” Richards expressed. “It’s really frustrating to try to have a conversation with her. Unfortunately, we tried to fix things, and it was like two steps forward, three steps back.”

Their argument continued at the reunion, when Kemsley accused Richards of talking behind her back about her spending habits all season.

The mom of two — who reportedly once owed $1.3 million in unpaid taxes — also claimed her former friend went into Season 15 with a “plan” to make her “look bad” amid her tumultuous divorce from estranged husband PK Kemsley.

Richards vehemently denied the accusations and said she was “sad” about their fallout.

Kemsley also went to blows with Jayne during the three part sit-down.

The pair failed to resolve their issues, with the swimsuit designer doubling-down on feeling unsupported by the singer.

Kemsley and Jayne did agree on one thing that day: needing space from each other.

Season 15 of “RHOBH” is available to stream on Peacock.
