What was the question Andy Cohen regrets asking Oprah Winfrey?

The host asked the The Color Purple star if she had ever, “taken a dip in the lady pond?” Which meant if she had ever been intimate with a woman.
He told the publication that it is one of his few regrets. At that time, he told Winfrey the question was a “classic” query on his show.
She did answer the question. The Butlet actress said, “No, I have not. Thank you." Cohen expressed to the outlet that it meant a lot to him that Oprah appeared on his show.
He added that it went brilliantly and he turned around and asked her if had ever been intimate with a woman. He said, “I mean, couldn't I leave it alone?"
The Bravo show host continued after he asked her the question and when the camera stopped rolling, The Ocean’s Thirteen actress did not make it awkward by “prying” into her intimate life.
Oprah’s best friend and journalist Gayle King later told Cohen that the media mogul did not know what the Real Housewives host meant when by the “lady pond”.
Cohen said, “I thought I explained it pretty well there, but listen, I was so grateful that Oprah did the show and I still am.”
