The fireworks may have faded, but the drama erupted after New Year’s Eve when Eric Adams responded to Andy Cohen’s tipsy critique of his mayorship during CNN’s broadcast. Cohen’s comments, where he described Adams’time as chaotic, struck a nerve with the former mayor, prompting Adams to suggest on social media that Cohen might have a drinking problem that warrants a visit to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Adams, not one to shy away from controversy, expressed concern for Cohen’s well-being, deeming public intoxication a serious issue. He even suggested that Cohen was safe only because of the diligent work of the Adams administration during the Times Square festivities. As public figures hash it out over airwaves and screens, it leaves many wondering—how far is too far on live television?
This exchange brings a light-hearted yet serious reminder about the implications of drinking and speaking candidly on live TV. If Adams and Cohen can turn the ball drop into a political battleground, what’s next for these two? The drama is real, and it’s probably just getting started!
