Andy Cohen, everyone's favorite bubbly and outspoken talk show host, has no time for snitches.

While the man behind the Real Housewives franchise clearly loves a good dose of drama, he definitely doesn't appreciate leaks about the Housewives reunion shows.

In a recent New York Times profile on the cool Watch What Happens Live host, a fun anecdote revealed that leaks to press were coming from none other than members of the hair and makeup crew.

But don't worry, Andy handled it.

Explaining the intense secrecy behind the Season 7 Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion show taping in October 2016, New York Times writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner revealed that Cohen, the reunion-show mediator, realized the leaks were coming from the beauty teams.

Since the leaks from the reunion shows became more and more frequent, Cohen asked the producers to cut the audio to the dressing rooms inhibiting the hair and makeup teams, who watch a live feed of the show taping, from listening in.

And do you know what happened next?

The leaks stopped.

Andy Cohen, ladies and gentlemen -- author, television/radio personality, producer and badass detective.
