Leah McSweeney expressed her ire at Andy Cohen after he appeared to laugh off allegations of racism and discrimination behind the scenes of “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
“Wow. Andy thinks racism and addiction is [sic] hilarious,” the former “Housewife” wrote on her Instagram Story Thursday.
“Good to know.”
McSweeney, 41, shared a screenshot of the King of Bravo leaving a laughing emoji below a humorous video of a weather report that showed a woman, labeled Vanity Fair, in a canoe rowing through a flood as two citizens, labeled Bravo viewers, walk unbothered through the water.
“Vanity Fair breaks the news that adults drink and Ramona is racist,” the video’s caption read.
Former “RHONY” star Bethenny Frankel also slammed Cohen, 55, for “belittling” the allegations.

Earlier this week, the glossy published an exposé about the network and detailed allegations about Ramona Singer’s purported racism and the discrimination McSweeney said she faced for being an alcoholic.
One shocking anecdote corroborated by McSweeney and Eboni K. Williams, the first black “Housewife” to appear on “RHONY,” detailed how Singer, 66, had made a statement about “most” black people not having present fathers.
Singer admitted making the comment, but dismissed it to Vanity Fair as merely asking “a question about a statistic [she] had read.”

The bombshell story also claimed Singer had used the N-word while talking with a black production member, but she vehemently denied it.
On Tuesday, however, Singer texted an abbreviated version of the racial slur to a Page Six reporter while trying to downplay her use of it. Bravo immediately cut her from this weekend’s BravoCon, and Douglas Elliman, the real estate company that employed Singer as an agent, fired her.

Her only reaction thus far has been to snarl at a paparazzo’s camera.
Vanity Fair also revealed that McSweeney filed a discrimination complaint against Bravo in March. A source later told Page Six exclusively that she plans to sue the network soon.

“She doesn’t want money through a settlement,” our insider said. “She wants a trial. She wants [Bravo execs] in front of a jury.”
We also hear that McSweeney’s suit will contain “sordid details” that Bravo cannot conceal because they will be listed in court documents.
“She wants to hold them accountable, but she also wants to move on,” our source added.
