Sometimes, you just have to admit you were wrong. That was the case on Wednesday night when Bravo host Andy Cohen issued a public apology to actress Julia Stiles during his Watch What Happens Live show. Stiles kicked off her Dancing with the Stars journey on Wednesday, taking to the ballroom floor with her partner Ezra Sosa for an exciting performance to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."
During the pre-dance package, Stiles called out Cohen as someone she wanted to prove wrong after the personable host disparaged her abilities. "Can we all just agree that Julia Stiles is not the greatest dancer?" Cohen said on his Radio Andy show in 2025.
Well, Stiles was great and made it through to next week's episode, so Cohen had to humble himself a little.

Even though she's not professionally trained, Stiles starred in 2001's Save the Last Dance alongside Sean Patrick Thomas and Kerry Washington. She also had an iconic dance scene in 10 Things I Hate About You.
That's how you issue a public apology.
