## Summary

Andy Cohen, Bravo and Leah McSweeney have settled McSweeney’s lawsuit alleging a toxic work environment and that bosses encouraged her to drink. The confidential agreement ends a case that would have become Bravo’s first courtroom trial involving a cast member.

McSweeney filed the suit in February 2024, saying she had relapsed shortly before filming *The Real Housewives of New York* began in 2019, after a decade of sobriety. She later accused Cohen and Bravo of coordinating a media attack; both denied her claims. The settlement amount was not disclosed, and McSweeney has withdrawn the suit.
