Tituss Burgess Continues to Shade Andy Cohen, Says His Rant Was 'Just Truth'

Tituss Burgess is not backing down on his criticism of Andy Cohen after calling him a “messy queen.”

During his appearance on Andy‘s show Watch What Happens Live!, Titus was asked a question about working with Eddie Murphy that appeared to make him uncomfortable.

“I just wonder if you got close at all because he was very problematic for the gays, at one point, when I was coming out,” Andy said. Tituss responded, “Ah, I see. He wasn’t problematic for Tituss.”

Well, Tituss made an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday (July 30) and she grilled him on what happened.

“I think that people misinterpret who they see on the screen sometimes and begin to have a relationship towards you based on misinformation,” Tituss told Wendy.

“Can you talk normal? What are you saying? Stop being Hollywood,” Wendy responded. “I read your rant and it started with something about queen.”

“Not a rant, just truth,” Tituss said in response.

“I will not tolerate the dismantling of anyone’s legacy, especially not my own,” he said. “Who we were speaking about has done a beautiful job being the comedic giant that he is. He has a wonderful movie coming out and I was not going to participate in talking about that.”

“I said what I said. Tituss will not be trapped,” he continued. “We have way too much work to do, we have far more important things to talk about in this nation right now, especially what is going on politically. I wasn’t going to waste time digging up something that happened a while ago. We’ve all moved past from it and we’ve all learned from it.”

At the end of the interview, Wendy and Tituss Burgess agreed to exchange phone numbers but he used the opportunity to take another dig at Andy Cohen, saying, “Done and done. Just don’t give it to you know who!”
