Andy Cohen Moves to Strike Cocaine Allegations in Leah McSweeney Suit

The move tests how much of McSweeney’s claims will be allowed in court.

Overview

  • Cohen, Bravo, and producers for The Real Housewives of New York City asked a judge to remove all cocaine-use references from Leah McSweeney’s lawsuit.
  • In their filing, Cohen’s lawyers say her support for the cocaine claim relies on two unnamed cast members, a former cast member who was not recast calling him a “cocaine head,” and a public video.
  • The filing also notes that McSweeney does not describe any time she personally saw Cohen use cocaine.
  • The case continues in federal court after a March ruling that rejected Bravo’s bid to move the dispute to private arbitration.
  • McSweeney’s legal team had not publicly responded to the latest challenge, according to recent reports.
