Andy Cohen has jumped to Bad Bunny’s defense following backlash during the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, using sharp sarcasm to shut down critics unhappy with the Spanish-language performance.
After the big game See what’s happening live host took to Threads, where he spent time responding directly to users criticizing Bad Bunny’s performance at the 2026 Super Bowl.
One entry that caught Cohen’s attention complained loudly about the lack of English during the break.
“NOT ONE WORD OF ENGLISH FROM Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Full Halftime Performance!!” the user wrote, calling it “disgraceful” and claiming American sports had declined.
Cohen quickly pointed out the flaw in the argument, responding: “Lynda, your bangs are asking for help. Oh, and that’s Lady Gaga singing in English,” referring to the fact that the user had shared a clip from the show that actually featured Gaga’s English-language performance.
When another Threads user took aim at Bad Bunny’s style, claiming that “the majority of Americans don’t want to see men wearing dresses,” Cohen cut in with a blunt question tied directly to the show itself: “Who was in the dress?”
The Well done executive also addressed a post in which a user translated Bad Bunny’s Spanish lyrics into English and criticized the NFL for promoting what they called “junk.”
Cohen responded with a pointed comparison, writing, “Now let’s read Kid Rock’s lyrics,” referring to the rocker who headlined Turning Point USA’s alternative “All-American Halftime Show,” staged for viewers who opposed the NFL’s choice of a Spanish-language performer.
His sarcasm didn’t stop there.
When one user praised Kid Rock’s performance at the Turning Point USA concert, calling it emotional and powerful, Cohen responded: “Me too. The idea that I can wear jots while looking like a prune gives me hope for getting older! It’s getting a little foggy just typing that.”
Cohen also weighed in on criticism from the highest levels, questioning President Donald Trump’s comments on the halftime show.
“Was there ever a moment in history when the President’s opinion on the Super Bowl Halftime Show was relevant?” he wrote.
Trump had taken to Truth Social shortly after halftime to slam Bad Bunny’s performance, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst” in recent Super Bowl history.
He went on to say, “No one understands a word this guy is saying and the dancing is disgusting, especially for little kids watching from all over the US and all over the world.”
He added that the show was a “slap in the face” to the country.
Cohen’s outspoken defense came on a night when he was already part of the Super Bowl spotlight, appearing in a NERDS Candy commercial during the broadcast.
But online, he made it clear he didn’t let criticism of Bad Bunny or Spanish-language music go unanswered, using humor and sharp remarks to challenge the backlash head-on.
