American talk show host and boss of reality TV network Bravo Andy Cohen invited Real Housewives star Brandi Glanville to watch he and Below Deck star Kate Chastain have sex.
A leaked video of the incident prompted Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Glanville’s sexual harassment claims against Cohen, her former boss.
In the controversial clip, which was obtained by The U.S. Sun, Cohen says, “We have something to tell you. We’re f***king tonight. And we’re gonna talk about you the whole time,” while Chastain adds, “So essentially a threesome.”
Cohen continues, “Actually, if you’re around in like 90 minutes or two hours, do you want to watch us on FaceTime?” as Below Deck star Chastain then asks Glanville if she can meet up with them — or find some “strong Wi-Fi.”
Cohen ends the video by saying, “Love you Brandi!” while raising his glass to the camera.
Glanville, for her part, wrote back a message that was just as risqué. However, she told The U.S. Sun that she felt she needed to “match Andy’s energy” to stay employed.
“Oh my god my two favourite people!!!! I love that c***. Trust me you’re going to want me there if you’re having sex I have a magic p***y,” she wrote, to which Cohen replied, “So I’ve heard.”
Decider reached out to reps for both Cohen and Glanville for comment, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
In a legal letter obtained by Variety back in February, Glanville alleged that an “obviously inebriated” Cohen sent her a video message revealing “his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via FaceTime.”
Glanville’s lawyers added, “This was an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted. It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his post in spite of this behaviour and harkens back to the bad old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritised over people.”
Cohen later apologised for the video, noting that he and Chastain had simply been joking with Glanville.
“The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke. That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologise.”
An outside investigation ultimately found Glanville’s sexual harassment claims to be “unsubstantiated.”
