Andy Cohen has stirred up controversy with scathing comments about Meghan Markle and her book, “The Bench,” in his latest publication titled “Daddy Diaries.”

In a surprising revelation, Cohen disclosed why he chose not to have Meghan Markle as a guest on his show, “What Happens Live,” back when she was on “Suits” and before her marriage to Prince Harry.

The Bravo honcho explained that despite Meghan’s interest in the Real Housewives of Orange County, he turned down her request, dismissing “Suits” as a mere TV show simulation shot on tape.

In his candid memoir, Cohen delves into his experiences in 2022, including becoming a single father via surrogacy and navigating the challenges of raising his daughter and son, Ben.

Amidst overseeing renovations on his New York City home at Hampton House, Cohen also shares insights on relationships, housewives drama, and the support of his celebrity friends like Kelly Ripa, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Anderson Cooper.

Notably, Andy Cohen has been a vocal critic of Meghan Markle’s literary venture since its debut in 2021.

His scathing tweet branding “The Bench” as “mind-boggling bad” sparked further scrutiny, with critics likening the book to a bland self-help guide for parents in need.

Meghan’s children’s book, priced at £12.99, was inspired by a poem she penned for Prince Harry on his first Father’s Day after Archie’s birth, exploring the bond between father and son through a mother’s perspective.

Critics have lambasted “The Bench” for failing to captivate its intended audience—children.

Instead, the book has been deemed more suited for parental guidance than children’s entertainment.

Speculation even arose about hidden messages within the book, with claims that Meghan included coded references to the royal family, such as depicting Prince Harry in his military attire.

Despite his involvement in reality TV drama, Cohen acknowledges the transient nature of his work and the importance of family.

He reflects on how creating a family has grounded him amidst the whirlwind of entertainment industry frivolity.

While reveling in the drama that surrounds him, Cohen finds solace in the stability and joy that his family brings, emphasizing the balance between his professional and personal life.

In his introspective memoir, Cohen offers a glimpse into his multifaceted life, from juggling fatherhood to navigating the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.

His candid revelations about Meghan Markle, coupled with his musings on family and career, provide readers with a nuanced perspective on fame, relationships, and personal growth.

As the controversy surrounding “The Bench” and Cohen’s critique continues to unfold, it underscores the complexities of celebrity culture and the power of storytelling in shaping public perception.
