Anderson Cooper Tears Up During Podcast With Megan Falley on Andrea Gibson’s Death

Falley’s use of “allegedly” to describe Gibson’s death prompts a candid moment on Cooper’s grief-focused program.

Overview

  • The emotional exchange occurred on the November 24 episode of All There Is with Anderson Cooper during a conversation about loss.
  • Megan Falley explained that she says Andrea Gibson "allegedly died" because she rejects speaking with certainty about what death means.
  • Cooper removed his glasses and wiped away tears, telling Falley, "what you said is so unique and, I think, true."
  • Gibson, a poet and activist who used they/them pronouns, died in July at age 49 after a terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis.
  • Falley and Gibson are featured in the Apple TV+ documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, which won a Sundance Festival Favorite Award, as Cooper’s podcast continues to explore grief shaped by his own family losses.
