Kelly Dodd and her husband, Rick Leventhal, believe that Andy Cohen’s days with Bravo are numbered.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum and her husband think that the Watch What Happens Live host is working with Bravo on his exit from the network.
On Rick and Kelly’s Daily Smash podcast, the two revealed that they believe this statement to be true, given the recent allegations against Andy Cohen.
As previously reported, Brandi Glanville has made sexual harassment claims against Andy, while Leah McSweeney filed a lawsuit against Bravo and Andy, in which she claims the Real Housewives executive producer “snorts cocaine” with his favorite Housewives.
Rick, who is a former Fox News correspondent, shared:
“My prediction is he’s negotiating an exit right now. His agent and his lawyers are working with Bravo’s agent lawyers, NBCUniversal’s agent lawyers, and they’re coming up with a buyout. They’re going, ‘We can’t we can’t have this. We can’t.’ Because if it goes to trial, like, we’re gonna testify that he did or didn’t do drugs and they’re gonna call witnesses, and then they’re perjuring themselves if they lie.”
He continued:
“It’s never going to trial. The lawsuit’s been filed. They’re gonna have to settle it. And in in the process of settling the lawsuit, Andy, my prediction, he’s gonna negotiate his exit from Bravo. That’s what I think is gonna happen.”
Kelly said, “[Rick]is always good at these. I told y’all this guy good at these [predictions].”
Despite Kelly and Rick’s theory, Andy Cohen isn’t going down without a fight. On Thursday, the WWHL host’s legal team fired off a letter demanding Leah retract her allegations or face going to court.
Andy Cohen’s legal team calls Leah’s allegations “baseless and false.”
“We demand that you immediately retract and withdraw all allegations relating to Mr. Cohen’s purported ‘cocaine use,’” the legal letter read.
The 55-year-old’s legal team continued, “Mr. Cohen never used cocaine with any cast member on any Real Housewives or with any other Bravo employee. The absence of any reasonable basis to make such allegations is confirmed by your pleading itself.”
