BRANDI Glanville has criticized Andy Cohen for always asking women if they are in Ozempic or if they have done any work – but never focusing on male stars.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum recently accused the host of sexual misconduct and was unimpressed with some of his other past behavior on Bravo.

In a legal letter, Brandi’s team claimed she felt “disgusted” and “trapped” after the host announced he wanted to sleep with the star – which he said was a “joke” but apologized for the comment.
Brandi, 51, admitted she felt “nervous” leaving the opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center in West Hollywood this month.
She’s been honest about the procedures she’s had on her face in the past, but doesn’t believe Andy, 55, should be able to question the Real Housewives about whether they’ve lost weight with Ozempic or had cosmetic procedures.
Brandi exclusively told The US Sun: “I think it’s really unfortunate that he’s constantly asking the women on his show what they’ve done and if they’re on Ozempic.

“I just think it’s really misogynistic, I don’t like it, because the men come and he doesn’t ask.
“And like Oprah said, she’s on Ozempic and she’s proud of it.
“If I needed to be in it, I would be, give me five years, I’ll be in it.
“He was the original person to say ‘You did some fillers, right?’
“So since that moment, it’s been 13 or 14 years, this is what everyone writes. What are you doing to your face? What did you do? It’s very difficult, it’s not acceptable.”
The reality star then took direct aim at Andy: “Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to judge women’s appearance? Period. Check your bald head, man!”
Andy asked several stars about Ozempic and the proceedings, and also played a game with the RHOBH cast called ‘Plastic Purgery’ on Watch What Happens Live, to encourage them to own up to the changes they’ve made.
Brandi regularly visits Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center for non-invasive procedures like Botox and CellSound, which melt fat and improve muscle definition.
ANDY’S APOLOGIES
“A lot of the things they do here aren’t like surgery. It’s very preventative. I’ve had CellSound skin tightening, it’s really amazing.
“If you’ve had kids, it’s not the same, especially when you’re sitting in a bathing suit. I’m like, ‘I’m cute when I’m standing!'”
But she freely admits, “I wish I’d never gotten my lips done back then, because being different is cute, but when you’re young, you want to fall in line.”
Meanwhile, the star’s legal advisor blasted Bravo and its associated companies in the bombshell letter.
The complaint also discusses her previous interaction with co-star Caroline Manzo, who accused her of sexual harassment, which she vehemently denied.
In the legal letter, Bradi’s lawyers wrote: “Ms. Glanville herself was the victim of sexual harassment at Bravo by none other than Andy Cohen. obviously intoxicated — bragged about his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking about her and invited her to watch via Facetime.
“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. It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his role despite this behavior and harkens back to the old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritized over people.”
Lauer was fired in 2017 from NBC’s Today amid allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women.
Andy apologized for his behavior in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter.
He wrote, “The video shows Kate Chastain and I clearly joking with Brandi. It was a joke, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated that she was in on the joke. That said, it was completely inappropriate and I apologize.”
Asked if Andy has reached out personally since the allegations, Brandi told The US Sun: “No, he hasn’t. It’s heartbreaking but also eye-opening at the same time.”
“It’s been really difficult, honestly. I received support from my true friends, but the reception from the public was difficult.”
BRAVO REPLY
The US Sun reached out to Andy’s representatives for comment but did not hear back.
Brandi attended the clinic’s grand opening with several co-stars and other celebrities, including Phaedra Parks, Taylor Armstrong, Jon Gosselin, CJ Franco Mary Jo Eustice, Chantelle Baier and Parvati Shallow.
Brandi and her lawyers criticized NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros. and production company Shed Media in a legal letter published by several media outlets.
The letter stated: “Over the past year, Ms. Glanville has been subjected to a vicious media campaign based on false allegations of sexual misconduct. The false narrative, which NBC and Shed Media have apparently chosen to foment.
“While the experience was a nightmare for Ms. Glanville, it is far from the first time that Ms. Glanville has been used and abused by NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros. and Shed Media. In fact, Ms. Glanville was long taken advantage of by the institutions with which it is indelibly linked personally, professionally, financially and in the public mind.”
In January, RHONJ star Caroline filed a lawsuit against Bravo alleging that she was sexually harassed by Brandi, allegedly at the behest of the scene’s producers.
Caroline accused Brandi of kissing her without her consent, claiming it was the producers and producers who subjected her to the awkward interaction.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip executive producer Lisa Shannon recently addressed Manzo’s allegations in court documents filed this month.
“Following the incident between Manzo and Glanville on January 24, 2023, Manzo revealed his childhood trauma to a member of the production team, who relayed this information to me. This information was not known to the production,” said Shannon, per ET.
“Manzo revealed to us, for the first time, that he suffered sexual trauma as a child and that Glanville’s actions that night triggered memories of that childhood trauma. by Glanville.”
