Andy Cohen Has Somehow Come Out of His Bravo Legal Mess Unscathed
Bravo stalwart Andy Cohen has managed to “walk tall” following a lawsuit alleging his abuse and general toxicity toward various Real Housewives stars. As Bravo cleared him of any wrongdoing this week, days after he appeared in a Hollywood Reporter cover story and walked the carpet at the Met Gala, Cohen has somehow come out of the legal mess unscathed.
In March, former Real Housewife Leah McSweeney sued Cohen, Bravo, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros Discovery, and Real Housewives of New York City production company Shed Media. In her suit, she accused Cohen of using “cocaine with his employees to further promote a workplace culture that thrives off drug and alcohol abuse, which leads to a failure to accommodate employees who are disabled and attempting to remain substance free.”
McSweeney and Cohen’s reps traded blows in the press as the scandal unfolded, with some franchise stars defending Cohen and others siding with McSweeney and adding accusations of their own—like Kathy Griffin, who seemingly confirmed McSweeney’s allegations of cocaine use. Weeks before, another Housewives star, Brandi Glanville, accused Cohen of inviting her to watch a sexual act over FaceTime. Cohen quickly addressed that accusation on social media, saying in a statement that the interaction was “in jest,” but apologizing nonetheless.
