When co-host Andy Cohen asked Anderson how he felt about publicly coming out, Anderson said he was happy about the support he received from his fans and viewers. However, he called out Star Jones after hearing she said he came out as a ratings ploy.
The popular television host noted, “The only thing that did kind of annoy me… [was] Star Jones, of all people.”
“I haven’t thought about Star Jones in I don’t know how long. I was unaware she was even on TV still… but she apparently shows up on the ["Today Show"].”
“Anyway, out of the blue, Star Jones said… [the coming out] was a ratings ploy by me to boost ratings,” he added, stating that he wasn’t on the air at the time and never did any interviews on the topic.
