Carole Radziwill's Parking Scandal Is Peak New York and Andy Cohen Is Here For It

Carole Radziwill just became the face of New York City parking culture, and honestly, we’re not mad about it. The Real Housewives of New York alum landed on Friday’s New York Post cover after racking up 83 parking violations and $8,000 in tickets over four years. Her strategy? Orange Con Edison cones to save spots and an expired FDNY union placard on the dashboard. Every ticket got paid, but the tactics are what caught everyone’s attention.

Andy Cohen spotted the cover at Casa Magazines and immediately grabbed his phone, filming an Instagram video where he called her a“menace to the city”while clearly enjoying every second of it. Radziwill’s response was just as good. She said she loves the traffic cops, loves New York, and joked that since she only overslept 17 times in six years, she deserves a key to the city. She even called the cone situation a“cop family hack.”The whole exchange is the kind of messy, hilarious energy that makes reality TV stars so fun to follow.

This story has everything: celebrity antics, insider parking tricks, and a response that turns a scandal into a victory lap. It’s a reminder that in New York, parking is serious business, and sometimes the best way to handle getting caught is to lean all the way in.
