Real Housewives of Orange County alum Kelly Dodd is weighing on Leah McSweeney’s Bravo lawsuit and drug allegations against Andy Cohen.
On her podcast, Rick and Kelly’s Daily Smash, Kelly Dodd and Rick Leventhal discussed Leah’s claims that Andy Cohen snorts cocaine with his favorite Real Housewives.
To start, Kelly claimed that Leah was Bravo’s “woke darling” when she first joined the Real Housewives of New York in 2020.
“She was like the darling. They thought she was the bee’s knees. [Bravo] put her on all kinds of [platforms] like Watch What Happens Live, BravoCon, Ultimate Girls Trip.”
“They gave her a $250,000” for season 2 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, “and she turned around [and] tried to burn that house down,” Kelly quipped.
She continued, “That’s what happens with the woke. That’s what they do. Take, take, take, entitled, that’s how that group acts. Now, they’re seeing that, that little particular group of woke, that’s how they roll. And that’s who Bravo wants to get in bed with, those types. And look what’s happening.”
Rick interjects, reading off some of the claims made in Leah’s lawsuit, which is when Kelly notes, “You know what, though? There must be something in there for a lawyer to take that. No lawyer would take on Bravo unless they thought they had something.”
The two then move on to discuss Leah’s claim “that Andy Cohen engages in cocaine use with housewives that he employs.”
Rick reads: “Cohen’s proclivity for cocaine usage with his employees is well known throughout the Real Housewives franchise. In fact, Cohen tends to provide the housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and makes them appear more agreeable in edits of their shows.”
“But doesn’t name the housewives cast members in question,” the former Fox reporter points out.
Kelly then declares: “I believe it,” before adding that she knows “3 of them are in New York.”
She continues:
“I’m not naming names at all. But you know what? Why doesn’t Andy Cohen just, like, do a Johnny Depp and go, ‘Yeah. I do some booger sugar. I dance with the white lady from time to time.’ Why doesn’t he? People [will] just look up to him more. You know?”
The Real Housewives of Orange County will return for season 18 in mid-to-late 2024.
