'Real Housewives' Star Sues Andy Cohen For Discrimination, Alleges Rampant Cocaine Use
HuffPost
Leah McSweeney, who appeared in three seasons of the "Housewives" franchise, claims its producer disregarded her alcoholism.
“Real Housewives of New York” alum Leah McSweeney is suing the show’s producer, Andy Cohen.
Tuesday’s filing in the Southern District of New York accuses him and Bravo, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros. Discovery, production company Shed Media and producers John Paparazzo, Darren Ward and Lisa Shannon of curating a “rotted” workplace culture.
McSweeney appeared in three seasons of the franchise, including its “New York” iteration and “Ultimate Girls Trip” series, and claimed in court papers obtained by People and Page Six that the defendants failed to accommodate her “alcohol use disorder” on set.
A representative for Cohen has since told Deadline the claims “are completely false.”
The suit claims McSweeney disclosed having broken nine years of sobriety before beginning to film Season 12 in 2019 while sober, but that the defendants “intentionally” orchestrated scenes “intended to exacerbate” her ailment to “create morbidly salacious” footage.
