Brandi Glanville has made accusations against Bravo executive Andy Cohen, alleging sexual harassment in a letter sent by her attorneys. According to Glanville, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, Cohen, host of “Watch What Happens Live,” sent her a video in 2022 where he is visibly intoxicated.
In the alleged video, Cohen purportedly expressed a desire to engage in sexual activities with another Bravo personality while mentioning Glanville. Additionally, he invited Glanville to witness the act via FaceTime. Cohen responded to the accusation on X, stating that the s*x joke was “meant in jest.”
In a tweet, he explained, “The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi. It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke. That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize.”
Few Bravo stars have publicly addressed Cohen’s behavior, and it seems none have come forward in the past to accuse him of sexual harassment. However, former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel has been vocal about a “reality TV reckoning” at Bravo, accusing her former boss of downplaying racism within the network.
Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Nene Leakes previously filed a lawsuit against Bravo, alleging discrimination based on her skin color, although she later withdrew the suit.
Kathy Griffin, formerly featured on Bravo’s “My Life on the D-List,” had a highly publicized falling out with Cohen after accusing him of offering her cocaine and mistreating her during their time together.
The recent letter from Glanville’s attorneys, penned by lawyers Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos, coincides with Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo. Manzo alleges that production companies associated with the network failed to protect her during an alleged sexual assault incident involving Glanville.
