Andy Cohen has apologised to Brandi Glanville after she launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.
In her claims, Brandi said that an “obviously inebriated” Andy sent her a video of himself saying he wanted to have s*x with another Bravo star and invited her to watch.
Brandi claims the conversation took place over Facetime in 2022.
However, Andy who is an openly gay man has insisted that the video was meant as a joke.
Taking to X, the TV host wrote: “The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi.”
“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 apologize.”

Brandi has not yet responded to the apology.
The former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills accused him of sexual harassment in an explosive legal letter obtained by DailyMail.
The letter was sent earlier by her attorneys this month to NBC, Shed Media and Warner Bros.
Brandi decided to “wage a public reputational war” against the companies after they “silenced” her amid the sexual assault allegations made against her by her Ultimate Girls’ Trip co-star Caroline Manzo.
In the legal letter, Freedman notes that Andy was Brandi’s boss at the time the alleged video was sent as she was working on the second season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, a Real Housewives spin-off for NBC’s streaming service Peacock.
She had also worked closely with the TV host for over a decade after landing a spot on the hit Bravo series Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills back in 2011.
“Mr. Cohen was Ms. Glanville’s boss at the time and exercised complete and total control over her career. This was an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted,” he wrote.
“It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his post in spite of this behavior and harkens back to the bad old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritized over people,” he concluded.
