 'WWHL' After Show Safeguards Content, Shifts from Elon Musk's X Amid Antisemitism Concerns
Published 2 years ago on Dec 13, 2023

In a strategic move to safeguard its content from potential exposure to inappropriate and antisemitic posts, the producers of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" have opted to remove their after show from Elon Musk's social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter. The decision, driven by concerns about their content residing alongside offensive material, was made to ensure a safe environment for the show's audience, as exclusively disclosed to Page Six by an inside source.

This proactive measure comes in the aftermath of Elon Musk's controversial support for an antisemitic post on X, wherein he endorsed a statement accusing Jewish communities of promoting dialectical hatred against whites. Despite Musk's subsequent apology, the incident prompted major advertisers, including Walmart and Apple, to sever ties with X.

The official X account for "WWHL" announced the relocation of their after show on November 26, directing viewers to stream it on Facebook Live. While the move garnered mixed reviews, the show's Facebook account, boasting 570,000 followers, surpasses its X following of 460,000, potentially mitigating any impact on viewership.
