Andy Cohen与Bravo和解酒瘾诉讼：McSweeney撤诉、和解金额未公开
据 Page Six 10月30日报道，美国真人秀《纽约娇妻》（The Real Housewives of New York City）前成员 Leah McSweeney 已撤回对 Bravo 电视网与执行制作人 Andy Cohen 的诉讼，双方达成庭外和解，和解金额未公开——Bravo 由此避开了史上首次与自家演员对簿公堂的庭审。
McSweeney 的律师 Gary Adelman 周五向 Page Six 表示：「我们对结果非常满意，也为 Leah 和她的坚持感到骄傲。」Bravo 方面未即时回应置评请求。
这场诉讼始于2024年1月：身为时装设计师的 McSweeney 指控制作方利用她的酒瘾问题——明知她有酒精使用障碍，仍以嘲弄、施压等方式试图让她复饮，认为她喝醉时收视率会更好；她还称制作方曾承诺拍摄期间可让她参加戒酒会，到场后却不许她去。法官 Lewis Liman 在听证后曾裁定，Bravo 享有第一修正案权利、可要求演员过量饮酒，但同时表示电视网须就其被指使用的手段作出答辩。
诉状中另一项引人注目的指控是 Cohen 曾与受宠的演员一起吸食可卡因。Cohen 否认了相关指控，并通过律师反指 McSweeney 的说法构成「敲诈」，要求她撤回可卡因指控并道歉；McSweeney 未作道歉，Cohen 也未提起诉讼。
McSweeney 曾戒酒10年，2019年开始拍摄该节目后不久复饮，在第二季开拍前重新戒酒成功。她出演过两季《纽约娇妻》与一季衍生节目《终极女孩之旅》（Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip），是首位把与 Bravo 的诉讼推进到法庭程序的该系列演员。
Andy Cohen and Bravo Settle McSweeney Lawsuit: 'Real Housewives' Star Withdraws Suit, Terms Undisclosed
Andy Cohen and Bravo have settled the lawsuit brought by 'Real Housewives of New York City' alum Leah McSweeney, Page Six reported on October 30. McSweeney has withdrawn the suit and the settlement figure is undisclosed, sparing the network its first-ever courtroom trial against one of its own cast members.
Her attorney, Gary Adelman, told Page Six on Friday: 'We are extremely satisfied with the outcome [and] we are proud of Leah and her perseverance.' Bravo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
McSweeney, a fashion designer, sued in January 2024 claiming producers preyed on her alcohol addiction — taunting her about her alcohol use disorder and pressuring her to relapse because they believed she would draw better ratings drunk. She also claimed producers promised she could attend AA meetings while filming, then refused once she was on set. Judge Lewis Liman found after a hearing that Bravo had a First Amendment right to require its stars to drink to excess, but said the network should answer for the methods it allegedly used.
Her suit also claimed Cohen had snorted cocaine with favored cast members. Cohen denied the claims and, through his attorney, accused McSweeney of a 'shakedown,' demanding she withdraw the cocaine claim and apologize. McSweeney has issued no apology and Cohen has not filed suit.
McSweeney had been sober for 10 years before relapsing shortly after she began filming in 2019, and regained sobriety before her second season. She starred in two seasons of 'RHONY' and one season of the 'Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' spinoff, and was the first Bravo star to take a suit against the network into a courtroom.
