Brandi Glanville expressed her support for Leah McSweeney after the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum filed a shocking lawsuit against Andy Cohen and Bravo.
“We are NOT expendable. We are strong women & even stronger together,” Glanville commented on McSweeney’s Instagram statement Tuesday that slammed Cohen’s “diabolical” behavior.
“Time to take our power back.”
McSweeney, 41, claimed in her federal filing, first obtained by Pvnew, that both Bravo and Cohen, 55, had preyed on her alcoholism while shooting “RHONY” and “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.”
The documents claim production repeatedly tried to drive McSweeney to drink using various methods methods that ranged from coercion to refusing her time to schedule an AA meeting. The reality star further alleged that the incessant efforts landed her in a psychiatric hospital.

McSweeney’s court documents also allege Bravo is aware of a senior producer sending “unsolicited pictures of [their] genitalia to lower-level … production employees,” but higher-ups have done nothing to stop it.
“The claims against Andy are completely false,” a rep for the “Watch What Happens Live” host told Pvnew after the lawsuit became public.
Last week, Glanville, 51, accused Cohen of sexual harassment in a fiery legal letter, claiming the media personality had invited her to watch him have sex with another Bravo star when he was “obviously inebriated.”
Cohen apologized but brushed it off as an “inappropriate” joke, which ruffled the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star’s feathers.
“Any boss who is clearly inebriated and encourages their employee by FaceTime video, and invites the employee to watch their boss to have sex with another employee, constitutes sexual harassment, plain and simple, under any definition of sexual harassment even one concocted by NBC,” Glanville’s attorneys told Pvnew in response to Cohen’s mea culpa.
“Why is Andy Cohen getting a pass? Any other supervisor at Comcast/NBC who engaged in this behavior would be fired immediately on the spot.”
