Andy Cohen dismissed rumors Caitlyn Jenner and bestie Sophia Hutchins are set to join The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.
The Bravo ringmaster didn’t beat around the bush when asked about the casting gossip on his SiriusXM channel Radio Andy.
In fact, he claimed Caitlyn and Sophia’s camp was actually the source of the rumors, telling fans: ‘This is one of those where the call is coming from inside the house people, as they say.’

Andy went on saying: ‘I know that they have expressed their interest publicly.’
Though they haven’t been shy about their wants, Cohen said they’ve never been ‘formally’ considered for a role.
‘On social media they’ve tagged me in posts saying we think this is a great idea, but, um, it is not, we’ve never talked to them formally and that is only… That, that, that rumor is not true.’
When asked if he thought Caitlyn would make a good addition to the cast, he was less direct, hinting he wasn’t sure if she was close enough with any of the castmates to keep the show organic.

He mentioned the athlete’s ex wife Kris Jenner, explaining how rumors about her coming to RHOBH made much more sense.
‘The thing about it is Kris was, Kris is good friends with Kyle, like, they are legitimately really good friends. Um, and so, yeah, I know. I just don’t see it.’
Kris and Andy have both staunchly denied the supreme momager was getting her diamond, with Jenner recently telling Ellen DeGeneres: ‘There’s just too much going on in my life and they do not need a Kris Jenner on that show. They are doing just fine.’
Just Monday Page Six reported the Secrets Of My Life author Caitlyn and her constant companion Sophia were in talks for the reality show.
