Hudson said the players — across hockey, football, and basketball — “reach out somewhat anonymously” and “are like, ‘I’m a professional player still, and I’m still in the closet.'”

“They’re reaching out to Rachel [Reid], our author, who will then kind of relay these lovely anonymous emails,” he continued. “And sometimes they’re just reaching out privately through Instagram, and those ones are the ones that really just kind of hit you and go, ‘Oh, so this is a fun show, and it’s celebratory, but also sometimes it’s just hitting people right in the nerve.'”

“Andy Cohen Live” airs weekdays at 10am ET on Radio Andy (Ch. 102). Stream full episodes anytime on the SiriusXM app.
