Leah McSweeney didn’t hold back when she took aim at Andy Cohen over his controversial remarks about Kate Middleton, just before news of her cancer diagnosis came to light.
In a fiery Instagram Story post, the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, 41, criticized Cohen, accusing him of reveling in cruelty towards women, with Middleton as his latest target. McSweeney called for Cohen to apologize to Middleton after she was forced to publicly disclose her cancer diagnosis.
Cohen, known for his role as the head of Bravo, had sparked outrage with his comments about Middleton’s whereabouts and her relationship with Prince William. He fueled conspiracy theories and old rumors, suggesting that Middleton’s absence from the public eye was due to marital issues and infidelity.
The backlash against Cohen grew, with many demanding that he retract his statements. However, Cohen has remained silent on the matter, choosing not to address McSweeney’s criticism or the wider condemnation of his comments.
Middleton eventually shared a heartfelt video revealing her battle with cancer, explaining the reasons behind her recent privacy and absence from public engagements. Her disclosure prompted a wave of support and condemnation for those who had made light of her situation, including Cohen.
McSweeney’s outspoken criticism of Cohen is not surprising, given her ongoing legal battle with him and Bravo. She has accused them of exploiting her alcohol addiction for financial gain and has made further allegations against Cohen in the lawsuit. Cohen has dismissed these claims as a “shakedown,” asserting that they are baseless.
The controversy surrounding Cohen’s comments and Middleton’s revelation has sparked a wider conversation about empathy, privacy, and the treatment of public figures in the media. As the fallout continues, it remains to be seen if Cohen will address the backlash or if McSweeney’s lawsuit will have any impact on their ongoing legal dispute.
