As Andy Cohen picks feud with Sarah Michelle Gellar over her criticism of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, one of the show’s stars has chimed in.
Bozoma Saint John, who joined the cast of the Bravo reality series last season, explained that despite Gellar calling Season 15 “boring,” the current episodes “set it up for a great” Season 16.
“Here’s the thing,” she told Page Six. “There has to be moments where you get deep, and sometimes that depth doesn’t require a lot of action, you know, because our lives are really real.”
Saint John noted, “There’s a lot of drama going on. That doesn’t necessarily mean conflict between us, but it is drama within each of our individual lives, and you gotta allow for space for that. I actually think it sets it up for a great next season too. Because then you let things play out, you know? So things are building. We gotta let it build.”
Although the former Netflix CMO had a thoughtful response to Gellar’s critique, executive producer Andy Cohen was not as receptive to the Buffy star’s comments on Page Six Radio, which records in his Radio Andy studio.

“And I was like, ‘You know what? Don’t bring someone into my studio to trash my show,’” sniped Cohen. “How about, the door is locked when I leave? How’s that? Or maybe think twice about posting that all over social media, where it says ‘Andy’ everywhere behind SMG. She wrong, by the way.”
In Gellar’s defense, she confirmed she is “obsessed” with RHOBH and “I love Boz,” but when asked about Season 15, she admitted, “I think it’s boring.”
“It’s slow,” added Gellar, although she conceded, “It’s just picking up now.”
Airing Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is nearing its Season 15 finale, with the reunion special filming earlier this month.
