Rachel Fuda, Julia Lemigova defend Andy Cohen against Leah McSweeney’s claims
“Throughout my 14 years of working with Andy, I have witnessed nothing but respect, kindness and support. I have never been offered any type of drug by him ever,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 44, exclusively tells Page Six.
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and grow under his guidance and share in his success.” “He’s just always been really professional with me and I’ve always felt like he’s treated me equally and fairly. I’ve never experienced this. It really catches me off guard.” “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Ashley Darby tells Page Six she has never seen Cohen indulge in any illicit substances or provide it to stars hired by Bravo. “Around Fashion Week a couple of years ago, we were in the same club and I saw nothing of the sort,” she recalls.
“All of it kind of seems very calculated,” Fuda, 32, says, questioning the motive behind McSweeney taking legal action against Cohen. McSweeney became a “Housewife” shortly after breaking a years-long sobriety streak. When it was time to film her second and final season of “RHONY,” she had recommitted herself to abstaining from alcohol.
Darby’s “RHOP” castmate Dr. Wendy Osefo concurs, telling Page Six, “I have not experienced at all. It’s always been up to me, so that’s not something I’ve seen or witnessed.” Osefo enthuses that Cohen wants talent to “win outside of the platform,” even if that means pursuing non-Bravo-related projects.
The ladies instantly clicked while sitting front-row at Naeem Khan runway show last month during New York Fashion Week. Fuda, of “New Jersey,” and Lemigova, of “Miami,” are particularly grateful that Cohen — alongside Bravo — has championed a domain full of meaningful friendships between talent across “Housewives” iterations. “I’m so happy that I met Julia through this world,” raves Fuda, who is participating in a Read Across America initiative this weekend with her new pal.
