Andy Cohen Reacts To Sexual Harassment And Racism Claims From 'Real Housewives' Stars
HuffPost
The longtime executive producer of the "Real Housewives" franchise, as well as the Bravo network, have faced numerous allegations and lawsuits since 2023.
Andy Cohen is breaking his silence on the numerous allegations against him and Bravo.
The executive producer of “The Real Housewives” franchise and host of “Watch What Happens Live” is facing accusations and lawsuits from several Bravo stars, but defended both the network and himself Wednesday in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“I know what the truth is and I know how I’ve conducted myself, and I walk tall every day on that,” Cohen told the outlet. “There are legions of fans who are passionately devoted to this brand. It’s a tonic that helps them get through the pains and obstacles in their lives.”
Some fans were surprised when the network opted to skip its annual BravoCon gathering this year, however, and wondered if Bravo and Cohen were hiding from bad press. Cohen told the Reporter it was merely a logistical challenge.
The initial claim arrived in October when Eboni K. Williams, the first Black star on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” told Vanity Fair she witnessed racism from a co-star in 2021. Cohen said Wednesday that he’s “no longer in charge of programming decisions there.”
