The legal battle behind the scenes at Bravo is getting as heated as a ‘Real Housewives’ reunion.

Andy Cohen has labelled the bombshell lawsuit against him by former Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney as “shakedown.” He also claimed that Leah has been trying to “force an unjustified settlement” with Bravo host.

In response to it, the attorney of Leah have told Page Six that his claims is nothing but an attempt to bully the victims like her into silence.

For the unversed, last month, Leah filed a lawsuit alleging Andy of snorting cocaine with some of the Housewives stars, and also accused him of being a part of the group of people who tried to exploit her substance issues and mental health struggles in a cynical attempt to drive up ratings.

However, the allegations have been called “categorically false” by Andy’s attorney and wrote a letter to Leah’s lawyer stating, “Mr. Cohen never used cocaine with any cast member on any Real Housewives show or with any other Bravo employee.”
