AceShowbiz - Andy Cohen gets rid of his Dolce and Gabbana suit in the wake of controversy set off by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's comments against IVF and gay marriage. The Bravo host auctions off the tux and the proceeds will go to Family Equality Council.
The designers came under fire for calling children born via in vitro and surrogate mother "synthetic." Backlash came from singers like Elton John and Ricky Martin, tennis player Martina Navratilova, and TV producer Ryan Murphy.
And now "Watch What Happens Live" presenter Cohen takes a stand. "I've seen my friends be given the incredible opportunity to create very real families," the Bravo host says. "There's nothing synthetic in any of the kids that call me 'Uncle Andy'."
"So in the interest of making things a little better ... we are auctioning it off, with all proceeds going to the Family Equality Council," he announces on his show. "Even though I love this suit, it wouldn't be any fun for me to wear it again."
The auction will run until March 26.
