Pretty sure Andy Cohen’s goose is cooked.

Brandi Granville actually produced receipts (Andy live on FaceTime) saying things that almost any jury in America would agree amount to sexual harassment.

WWHL is supposed be doing new episodes right now and it’s on hiatus. Andy has been silent on social media for a week. It looks bad.

Is Andy‘s goose cooked?

This is incorrect. Bravo owns these shows. They are produced by different production companies, but Bravo runs the show and makes the decisions.

by Anonymousreply 67September 2, 2024 3:29 AM

r67 not really. Maybe wtih OC but the rest of the franchises are pitched to Bravo, which is why they have different production companies. This is the whole reason Cohen no longer works for Bravo. Scott Dunlop created OC (you can see his name on the exec producer credits BEFORE Cohen on that show). He took it to Bravo as a documentary which they turned into the Real Housewives of OC. That reality concept took off and other production companies pitched shows to Bravo to distribute. Ladies of London, and Married to Medicine - these shows were pitched as RH shows that eventually were green-lighted but not under the RH franchise name. FYI there are global RH shows not even shown on Bravo. Chesire England, Toronto, Melbourne (which did get shown on Bravo due to it's popularity). Cohen was let go from Bravo because he was often given credit for creating and heading up the RH franchises and never corrected people, including in print. He used to have the Twitter handle BravoAndy but they made him change it. Many of the execs at Bravo as well as the production companies that ran the shows were pissed that he would just sit by and take credit for things he never did. He is the one the housewives call, he is the one that is friendly with them but in truth he is no more than a Bravo employee now. It is why he is not worried about any lawsuit. McSweeny can name him but he can go into court and say 'I don't have any decision making power." and be cleared. Just like Fox News can say "we are an entertainment network and should not be taken seriously."

By the letter of the law, it is harassment. Andy doesn't have to be her boss, just a coworker - but being her boss adds to the severity of the charges. It doesn't matter if he was joking, if he is gay, if there is no way in hell he'd have a threesome with two women - talking about anything of a sexual nature could be considered harassment in the workplace. That is the hardline definition. In this particular instance, it doesn't matter what Brandi has done in the past, although that could probably be brought in as evidence - only making them BOTH guilty of harassment. I could be a gay dude telling my best friend at work a dick joke in private, and if it is overheard by another worker, that could be grounds for harassment in the workplace since someone could claim it made them uncomfortable - which Brandi in this case could certainly say.

Have you seen these tiresome fraus on Reddit? They do nothing but whine about men and "the patriarchy" (which sounds like a nutty conspiracy theory akin to the ones about Jews controlling the planet). They truly believe that they are under threat of death at the hand of every man in their vicinity, every minute of every day.

The reality is that most men don't even notice them, couldn't care less about them, and are just trying to get through their day. But these fraus can't imagine that there is anyone in the universe who isn't focused on them. Everyone "sexualizes" them, subjects them to the "male gaze," and drives them to tears and self-diagnosed PTSD. They whine when men pay attention to them and they whine when men ignore them.

A good number of them can't stand the sight of their own primary and secondary sex characteristics and embrace being "non-binary," attempting to wipe away any linguistic suggestion that the female sex exists at all. It's psychotic. They're psychotic.

And in defence of Brandi's bad behavior she can argue that as a single mother and breadwinner of her family she was rewarded by production for ramping up her drinking and attacks with more storylines and screen time to earn a bigger pay check. She could say that she was pressured into behaving a certain way by production to increase the drama of the show and that this bled over into her personal and private life and also affected her future earning potential. She could easily point to the fact that UGT was cancelled, not because production censored itself and jumped in to stop it, but because various lawsuits were brought against production. There is enough evidence on her side to point to the fact that these were indeed toxic working environments for the people involved. Reality TV is not reality but entertainment orchestrated by production to push these women outer most limits of what they would do in reality. And the entertainment in this case is the destruction of the lives of the characters involved. She could easily argue all of that because the evidence is all on tape with corroborated testimony from other people involved.

The public's opinion of Brandi doesn't matter in the court of law. The only thing that matters is her ability to argue her case with the facts presented as evidence. She could have a strong case for wrongful termination and harassment. The interesting thing would be with all of this is if Andy doesn't get a large enough of a golden parachute from Bravo, he could possibly bring a case against them for the exact same reasons.

They are very entertaining R87. I enjoy watching them, and no I don't think they are real. BUT they aren't fake either. The reality exist in watching these women (coworkers) maintain their job on the show by walking the very thin line of being rude, being relevant, or being boring. The franchises where you can tell that this show is the women's bread and butter, like Atlanta, are the best. The chemistry and rivalries between certain women is downright iconic. It takes a certain type of personality to be on these shows, and the good ones rise to the top and ride the wave for a while, while others crash and burn. I always love how these people do the most horrible things to each other but always end up saying "I'm willing to turn the page and start fresh." When in reality, if anyone did any of the things they do to each other to you, just once, you would probably never speak to them again. But these women HAVE to make it work to be on the show. As a person who doesn't like confrontation I my real life, it is a marvel to see people who have to go head first into it. At the dinner table - "Were you doing coke in your bathroom?"

She was actually one of the nicest, soft spoken housewives of the ones I have met, a lot of pleases and thank yous - that was a surprise. But Luanne is Luanne, big personality Dorinda is Dorinda and Ramona is definitely Ramona.

Because they all know the power of TV and the perception once something goes public. That's why when Kim crossed the line and said, "let's not TALK about the husband, (whatever was going on between Lisa Rina and husband Harry Hamlin that everyone in that circle knows about but the world doesn't), Lisa freaks out - actually going in to choke Kim. That iconic freak out is VERY REALl and one of the best in RH Franchise history. worth the watch.

BTW - the Harry Hamlin tea:

The rumor is that Harry had an affair with the budding actress Julianne Phillips with whom he starred in the mid-1990s sitcom Allie & Me. The story goes that Julianne—upon learning Harry was two-timing her with Lisa Rinna—immediately broke it off with Harry. In response, Harry physically assaulted Julianne (the rumors range from “mere” choking and punches to rape). Following up, Lisa began making a series of threats against Julianne. Julianne was a powerless Hollywood newbie—unlike Hamlin and Rinna—so she fled Hollywood never to work as an actress again.

Allie & Me is a movie, not a sitcom. Julianne Phillips was the ex wife of Bruce Springsteen, and had just spent 5 seasons on Sisters before she made that movie with Harry Hamlin in 1997.

R73 just gave a perfect example of why Cohen was let go from Bravo. Cohen did not develop RH into anything. He was the executive in charge of talent relations at Bravo. He was the guy the talent called when they wanted to complain or just talk. You have no idea of the resentment of Cohen at Bravo internally and among the various production companies. That statement from the WSJ is false yet Cohen would sit by and smile and nod his head. Not confirming it but never correcting it. Cohen was on his way out from Bravo pre-covid. The twitter name change, then he announced he was stepping down from his executive role at Bravo to head up his own production company. This was when they were looking for the new co-host for Ripa on Live. Cohen thought he all but had it locked up. He was ready to leave the housewives world (he hates being know as a reality tv guy - his roots are in news). But the Live with...job did not come through. He tried to revive Love Conneciton, that failed. The one show he did get on Bravo, a View rip off with Jerry O'Connell failed too. The panic set in. He had already announced he was leaving Bravo, they even pitched shows where Andy would pick his replacement for WWHL (it was listed on the Bravo up fronts a few years ago). He had to pivot quick. Part of his exit agreement was executive producer credit on all Housewive franchises on Bravo. He used that clout to threaten to make a big ass stink if he was taken off of WWHL. Bravo capitulated due to not wanting to deal with what a bitch he could be (and if you have ever seen him be a bitch you know what I mean). Just think of it logistically. He is the executive producer on at least 5 HW shows, has his own channel on Sirius, WWHL a production company, two kids and an active social life, Do you really think he runs all these shows? Do you know why they give executive producer credits as vanity credits? If the show gets nominated for an award, the eps get one, It's how he got his emmy for Top Chef. He is listed as an EP on that, do you think he has a hand in castin the chefs?

No fighting or arguing. The next season, Bravo ran a summer campaign called Watch What Happens. So the second season of RHOC was a ratings success. The network billed the second reunion as a What What Happens Special and Cohen volunteered to host the show as the women were all friendly with him as the exec in charge of talent relations. Instead of a friendly recap, Cohen read fan questions about the shady behaviour of the women, causing fights and conflict on the show ala Jerry Springer. All the while exuding boyish charm and a shit-eating grin as he watched the drama unfold. NY and Atlanta took off in the ratings. The reunion shows were tuning out to be the Jewel in a season's crown and Cohen was a natural at pulling out the drama while still being their friend, He was all too happy to keep hosting the reunions and Bravo was fine because they didn't have to find or hire a host. Then he pitched WWHL to the network. Atlanta was so popular that Cohen said they needed a sunday night live show to recap the drama, have on the housewives and just have some fun. He pitched it like a Merv Griffin talk show with housewives. Cohen was not dumb either. He had the show tagged on to the RHOA listing so it would get the ratings from the show. It worked. At the time they would run only one RH show until BH entered, Now it was OC, BH, NYC and Atl with Miami and DC coming down the pike. Andy pitched expanding the show to several nights a week, The popularity of the housewives among Andy's celeb friends got him better guest, like Rinna and Ripa, Jerry O'Connell and his model wife. Soon more and more celebs were showing up. As the popularity of the franchise exploded people naturally associated Andy with it. He never corrected people. He would bask in the idea he created this franchise, that he alone was responsible for it's success. That level of ego can only go so long unchecked, Cohen for his part loved every minute of it. To quote his good friend Anderson Cooper, no one loves being famous more than Andy. To his credit Andy took his chance to be on TV and ran with it, turning it into an empire. No one can take that away from him, but he is famous because of Housewives and Bravo, not the other way round.

[quote] Twitter handle BravoAndy but they made him change it.

And yet his IG handle is still BravoAndy.

I am not a huge fan of his either, but R100 you can't diminish the savviness behind everything you mentioned he did. You make it seem like this just happened, and then that, and finally success. But each thing you mentioned sounds like a smart calculated step that paid off for him. That alone is a talent in what he did. I would day to say that the housewives made WWHL, but WWHL really made the housewives stars in their own right because NO ONE was really checking for them on anything outside of Wendy Williams. And WWHL really drove a lot of the drama on the show, it's constantly referenced on different RH franchises.

[quote]but he can go into court and say 'I don't have any decision making power." and be cleared.

From a legal perspective is that really true. If the person believes you're capable of some sort of quid pro quo and engages in activity because of that belief, does it matter that you cannot actually deliver your end of the bargain?

If sexual harassment were completely stamped there would be millions of childless old maid spinsters wandering the earth right now.

r104 it would be true if he were forced to say it. If Leah believes he is the boss and names him in a lawsuit saying he forced us to drink and threatened my sobriety and he is forced to say, actually My EP credit is in name only, I don't have day to day involvement in the show and only a minor voice in who gets cast, then he is out of the picture for a lawsuit. Now, would the production companies fight back and say no Andy is the boss but more than likey it would force him to expose how little power he actually has in day to day and he is trying to avoid that.

[quote] The franchises where you can tell that this show is the women's bread and butter, like Atlanta, are the best.

IMO, the opposite is true. It's more interesting when you have truly wealthy women who don't need the RH income. (Then you're just dealing with fame whores.)

Melbourne and Miami are the best ones.

They show an Australian version in the U.S.?

R110, no, Melbourne was not shown in America. You'll need a VPN for that one.

Whatever happened to that mule NeNe Leakes from the Atlanta franchise? Her work seems quite sporadic over the last few years. It definitely isn't because she's rich as word around Atlanta is she's in constant trouble with the money changers.

Will the money changers be thrown out of the temple?

Not sure about Nene, but Kim and Kroy are having very public money troubles (foreclosure) plus are supposedly divorcing. Police at the house way too often. Kim her normal grifter self (photo'd with Chet Haze).

Kroy on police body-cam acting like a little bitch: "You try living with her!" He's the one who got himself into this mess and now he's acting like a cop should be empathizing with him.

I do not like Andy Cohen yet I enjoy WWHL. Go figure. But it's silly fun before bedtime and I love watching these reality show folks behave like the superstars they think they are. And, Andy is in on the joke. His shit eating grin and smarmy reactions can be very funny. But I cringe when he openly flirts with hot male guests and, especially, the 'guest bartenders.'.

by Anonymousreply 115September 2, 2024 9:57 PM

Kim's own parents won't even have anything to do with her. They know what an embarrassment she is. I would bet you a dime to a dollar she has prostituted multiple times in her past.

R115, doesn't he have sex with the bartenders too?

by Anonymousreply 117September 2, 2024 10:10 PM

R117. One of the recent bartenders turned out to be an online hookup Andy had a few years ago. Total coincidence. Andy was shocked to see him. Insert eye roll here.

R121, I had no idea. I only saw it because of VPN. Otherwise, most American housewives fans don't know about it.

R118, so trashy. These media figures that let us know all about their sex lives are nasty.
