With a bombshell new lawsuit against Andy Cohen, and Bravo, Leah McSweeney reminds us of her complicated history with the network.
The Big Picture Leah McSweeney is just one of the former Bravolebrities taking action against the network and Andy Cohen. But McSweeney's past with the show is a complicated one. McSweeney, who created the fashion line Married to the Mob, joined The Real Housewives of New York City during Season 12. Instantly becoming a fan favorite, our love for McSweeney wasn't enough for the former Housewife to look fondly on her time with Bravo.
Now, through her pushback against Bravo, McSweeney has opened up about how the production pushed her drinking. The Housewives often puts a spotlight on drinking issues with its cast. Recently, Kyle Richards famously got sober on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and it became an entire storyline. McSweeney coming into the show with alcohol issues was already exacerbated by housewives like Sonja Morgan and LuAnn de Lesseps, two women who have struggled with their own relationship to alcohol.
The most damning part of McSweeney's piece in the "Bravo reckoning" comes when she talks about an interaction with Cohen that happened off-air at Watch What Happens Live. McSweeney said that when he was asking her about her relapse and when it happened, she told him that she wasn't dry when filming began and claims that Cohen looked disappointed that her relapse did not happen on camera.
