Bravo executive Andy Cohen has been caught on video sending an explicit message to former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville.
The footage, exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, shows Cohen, alongside Below Deck star Kate Chastain, appearing to be under the influence. In the June 2022 video, Cohen is seen slurring his words while inviting Glanville to watch him engage in sexual activity with Chastain via Facetime.

Brandi Glanville, 51, expressed her shock and discomfort in an interview with The U.S. Sun, saying, “I was so mortified and embarrassed.” She questioned whether Cohen thought she might engage in inappropriate behavior to secure her place on Bravo.
In the video, Cohen jokingly suggests a threesome, with Chastain playfully agreeing, and then asks Glanville if she would be interested in watching, saying it would happen in “90 minutes or two hours.”
Glanville, who received the message while at work, found the situation deeply disturbing and noted it was not the first time Cohen had sent explicit communications. She has since accused Cohen of sexual harassment in a legal letter to Bravo, citing the impact on her career and well-being due to the power dynamics involved.
Cohen responded to the controversy on X (formerly Twitter) in February 2024, apologizing and saying, “The video shows Kate Chastain and I clearly joking with Brandi. It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response indicated she was in on the joke. That said, it was totally inappropriate, and I apologize.”
Despite Cohen’s apology, Glanville remains troubled by the incident and its broader implications for the treatment of reality TV stars, especially those in financially vulnerable positions.
