Andy Cohen and a Star-Studded Lineup of Bravolebrities Came Together at NephCure Red Carpet Gala
In a glamorous gathering intended to shine a light on rare kidney diseases, Andy Cohen was joined by a handful of fan-favorite Bravo celebrities at the NephCure Red Carpet Gala. The event took place on October 30, and Cohen didn’t hold back as he emphasized the importance of contributing to the cause. “Find a cure. That’s it. That’s the ultimate goal by donating to NephCure. More money,” said the 56-year-old Cohen.
Among the illustrious attendees were Dorinda Medley, Dolores Catania, and reality TV power couple Heather and Terry Dubrow, as well as Kyle Cooke and Kathy Hilton. Terry Dubrow, 66, took a moment to express his admiration for his wife, Heather, who stars on The Real Housewives of Orange County. He credited her for inspiring him to take charge of his own health following a significant health scare earlier this year.
“My wife is the one who identified that I had a significant cardiovascular issue and a mini stroke,” Terry explained. “She’s the reason I’m standing here today.”
When it came to the event’s mission, Catania was equally passionate. Dressed in a sophisticated black gown, she discussed her dedication to health, stemming from the lessons imparted by her mother. “If you don’t take care of yourself, then you can’t help other people,” she said.
Catania, a veteran of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, also shared her belief in the responsibility that comes with fame. “You owe it to yourself and the people that follow you to do the right thing,” she noted, highlighting Medley as a role model in handling public life.
Heather and Terry Dubrow, having first been introduced on RHOC in 2012, sported matching black outfits for the evening. Terry’s personal connection to kidney disease—his father suffered from polycystic kidney disease—compelled him to advocate for significant funding in kidney research.
Kyle Cooke, the Summer House star, appeared at the gala in a stylish gray suit. Despite his rise to fame, he maintained a down-to-earth attitude, jokingly referring to himself as an “F-list celebrity.” Cooke shared that he strives to remain true to himself, even amidst the pressures of being in the public eye.
The ever-charming Kathy Hilton also made an appearance, donning an elegant black dress. She dismissed any notion that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured scripted moments, asserting, “No one’s ever whispered in my ear to tell me what to say or do.” Hilton emphasized the importance of authenticity to her fans, remarking on the loyalty of Bravo’s audience.
With attendees all rallying around a significant cause, the NephCure Red Carpet Gala not only celebrated the past and present of reality television but also opened a crucial conversation about health and well-being. As Cohen and his fellow Bravolebrities mingled, they remained united in their shared commitment to making a difference.
