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.

BTW Kelly and Rick before using the word “woke” you should really look up the definition.
I know coke is illegal and everything, but big whoop.
Of course he does it with his favorites. Who shares their coke with people they don’t like?
Complaining about people being woke is so 2020, no one cares
Being the good little foot soldier that she is, LVP is on TMZ defending the hell out of AC. Of course, she doesn’t even know who Leah is, but says she knows for a fact that Andy’s poison is weed, not coke.

She’s got a new show coming out on hulu, Vanderpump Villa with the usual loser servers behaving badly. IF this takes off, I’m betting she pulls out the knives and starts stabbing Miss Cohen, Norman Bates style.
What we wouldn’t pay to see that!

YES!
This is the episode (which I spoke of last week) where Rick Leventhal suspects that behind the scenes, Andy is currently “negotiating his exit” from Bravo. https://media2.giphy.com/media/3o7TKsEDWGmrpWKSqc/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
Now THAT is interesting seeing as he knows the industry and how things operate behind the scenes. I mean, Kelly does to a certain degree on a certain level but not the same as Leventhal cuz I’m not saying Kelly is dumb as a bag of hammers…

I think you just did ?.
?
Kelly being triggered by “woke” will never not be hilarious.
And the woke being triggered by Kelly will always be hilarious.
I’m glad to see that loser Kelly Dudd is still unemployed and burning all bridges. That guarantees that I’ll never have to see her ugly mug on my TV screen again.
Sorry, but I’ll never believe anything she says about anyone.
Miss Cohen was more concerned with being one of the cool kids than keeping his job.
Kelly is crazy as ever but she is entertaining. I miss her.
I wouldn’t call her crazy all, especially considering she was on the right side of everything (that they fired her for). However, I will say say that she’s probably not the most eloquent and/or articulate tool in the shed, and definitely has a fiery nature.
Crazy in that she doesn’t have a filter. I agree that she was fired for political reasons which sucked. Bring her back!!
The interesting thing is, Kelly really is friends with Vicki and Shannon, but the show obviously doesn’t want authenticity. Also, she (and Rick) have trashed production and the cast so much now that I can’t imagine them ever asking her back. But above all else, Andy hates her … always has.
No one else is admitting they saw the cocaine usage (Leah, Kathy)–Who would taint themselves? However, other HWs wrapping themselves up in Andy’s mess is gross. . .Still shows he’s the boss pulling the strings. Sober HWs (Marge, Kyle) word means nothing and the discovery which Leah will push this lawsuit to will find evidence to takedown them all. Continued lawsuits are now inevitable. And support for the other side is growing (Leah, Brandi, Caroline, Bethany, Rachel, etc.). And if you watch the shows, then U nose who else did cocaine with Andy. U don’t have to fall into a bush to figure that out (3 NY) or see the amped up crude behaviors (3 OC) or remember the bathroom gossip from seasons past (3 BH). Bye Andy, the clock is running out.
I think it has already been determined that while she may be the cheerleader in the “Reality Reckoning” crusade, Bethenny isn’t suing for anything (at least yet). Also, this
RaquelRachel dip shit (VPR) isn’t under AC’s jurisdiction, so to speak. You post a very interesting scenario; that Andy’s coke buds were/are, Sonja, Slurinda, and Lu (although I’m not completely sold on Lu).DoDo for sure it’s the reason she always stresses Coca Cola, LOL! wasn’t there a scene in some Brooklyn cafe where Bethenny went off on Sonja and coke use was mentioned?
I vaguely remember … and then shushed very quickly; however, I can’t recall the specifics. Was it Bethenny?
It’s been a while I know, it was Bethenny. If memory serves Carol Radzeeewill was present. It wasn’t a pretty scene.
My gut is telling me that it was during a reunion.
I’m sold on Lu. She too cool, not to be one of the three.
Hmm, well don’t stop there! … who is your third pick?
Lu and Sonja are a pair and Sonja and Ramona are tight. I think Dorinda is just alcoholic.
Seems like open season on Andy.

Two words, Kelly: plausible deniability. Cohen ain’t admitting to sh*t. And from a legal standpoint, he’d be a fool to do so even if cocaine allegations are true (and we know these allegations go back a ways ? /?). ? Cohen will admit to nothing that could potentially harm him or Bravo. The question is: will it matter in the end? Idk. ???? Lea’s case seems beyond weak at this point and ALL the others (yes including St. Caroline’s ?) are problematic BUT nonetheless, the lawsuits keep piling up and this desperate pro- Andy HW PR campaign comes across as protesting too much imo. IJS.???? Either way, this lawsuit drama is more entertaining than the shows they’re suing over. ?

Another poster said yesterday that word on the street is that Andy is negotiating an exit settlement. Let’s see.
Ouch! ? Oh, well… if so, I wonder who they will replace him with?
Miss Cohens dream date, Anderson Vanderbilt is looking for a new gig.
Oooh… ? That could happen…????
Too funny…can you imagine? Or John Mayer?
If these lawsuits keep rolling in, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the ailing NBC doesn’t pull the plug on HW all together.
Never in the series’ 18 yr. run have the ratings been this low (across the board) but the show is cheap to produce, and they can always just start cutting the salaries. Most of these fame ho’s would do it for free.
Probably true. Not so sure Kyle wasn’t told to step up her role and come with something worth filming, it’s almost identical to the Chrishell Strause storyline on Netflix Selling Sunset, which btw won an Emmy.
I’ve never seen (Netflix will never play in my house). I confuse that show with Buying Beverly Hills.
Strause is the X wife of actor Josh Hartley, he dumped her. She hooked up with an Aussie version of Morgan Wade, the comps are almost identical sans the kids.
Not familiar with it. I’ll look for it but I think the HWs is all the reality I can deal with. Lol.
The last season is the only one you need to watch, it’s another fake RE CA mansion sales show. One of the agents friends came out and said she didn’t list with the Oppenheim Group but allowed them to film her home.
