In the latest twist thatโ€™s sending more shockwaves through the Bravoverse, former Real Housewives of New York City sensation, Leah McSweeney, has launched a legal bombshell straight at Bravo and Andy Cohen. The suit claims the network and Cohen lit the fuse on McSweeneyโ€™s battle with alcoholism, all for a taste of those sky-high ratings.

In 2019, just before the cameras rolled on Season 12. McSweeney, fresh from conquering her demons, revealed her fragile sobriety to the showโ€™s creators, only to find herself plunged into a calculated whirlpool of temptation engineered to ignite on-screen chaos. Itโ€™s reality TV gone rogue โ€“ the lawsuit accuses the production powerhouse behind the drama, including giants NBC Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery, of weaving a toxic tapestry designed to push McSweeney to the brink.

McSweeney has unleashed a personal accusation at Cohen, Bravoโ€™s puppet master, painting him as the kingpin of an alleged cocaine-fueled empire, favoring those who partake in his off-screen antics with glowing edits and screen time. According to McSweeney, Cohenโ€™s not just pushing boundaries; heโ€™s bulldozing them, fostering a culture of substance misuse that sidelines anyone daring to stay clean.

Cohenโ€™s camp fires back, branding McSweeneyโ€™s accusations as pure fiction. But McSweeneyโ€™s not backing down, taking to Instagram to decry the โ€œdangerous work environmentโ€ at Bravo, accusing the network of fueling drama through destructive means.
