RHOP’s Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon Clash Over Whether to Cut Juan Dixon Joke From Bravo's – Andy Cohen's Decision
Gizelle Bryant of RHOP reveals exclusively to Us Weekly that she intervened with Andy Cohen to remove a joke involving Juan Dixon's infidelity rumors Find out why her co-star, Robyn Dixon, had a different opinion Get the inside scoop!
Gizelle, 53, expressed her disapproval of jokes about cheating rumors when Andy Cohen asked her if he should cut his Juan Dixon joke at The Bravos. She revealed that she had seen Juan before he started dating Robyn Dixon and advised Andy to cut the joke, which he agreed to without hesitation.
The Bravos were recorded on Friday, November 3, and aired on Sunday, November 5. During the show, Andy, aged 55, joked about the fact that Bravo covered the cost of hotel rooms so that Juan, aged 45, didn't have to pay. This joke caught attention after rumors of Juan paying for a woman's hotel room surfaced.
However, Andy had a chance to talk to Robyn before the show. "And then he sees her and she's like, 'Put it in!'" Gizelle shared with laughter.
“I have the ability to laugh at myself and find humor in various situations,” shared Robyn, 44, with Us. “I am fully aware of how absurd some situations can be, and I embrace that by laughing and acknowledging it. So, when [Andy] mentioned a joke that he intended to include... I immediately asked him to share it with me. After hearing it, I responded, ‘Absolutely, include it!’”

Robyn has consistently argued that Juan did not engage in a full-fledged affair. He justified his involvement with the woman by stating that she had lost her wallet and needed financial assistance for a hotel room. Robyn stands by her belief in Juan's explanation and had no difficulty finding amusement in Andy's joke.
"I suppose that's how I was raised. My father always told me, one should have the ability to laugh at oneself. And this is a situation that I genuinely find comical when I'm at home," Robyn stated. "It's truly absurd. Additionally, I am untroubled by others' opinions of this situation. I am not concerned with what they may believe, so I have no qualms in addressing it."
Besides Robyn and Juan, Andy also called out other people during the Bravos. One of his jokes targeted Jennifer Pedranti, a star from The Real Housewives of Orange County, and her boyfriend Ryan Boyajian's controversy involving a suggestive photo. Jennifer explained that she was sitting next to Taylor Armstrong when the cameras started moving around and Andy made the joke. She mentioned feeling like the camera zoomed in on her, but she found it funny and stated that she needed to laugh at the situation.
Jenn and Ryan, for their part, are laughing all the way to the bank. They launched #DckPic merchandise in the wake of the scandal.
