On Thursday, an insider revealed to InTouch Weekly Andy's, 55, future with the company that has brought several reality shows to light including Vanderpump Rules and the Real Housewives franchise.
"Negotiations for Cohen’s departure package are underway as he grapples with the fallout from mounting accusations by his stars,” the source said.
However, a spokesperson from Bravo spoke to Deadline and shut down the source, "There is absolutely no truth to this story and [the publication’s] source obviously has no clue about the situation."
Currently, Andy is an executive producer and reunion host of the Real Housewives shows including Beverly Hills, Potomac, New York City, and Orange County.

He also is the reunion host of other Bravo shows like VPR, Below Deck, Married To Medicine, Southern Charm, and Summer House.
Andy has also been the WWHL host for the last 15 years.
FORMER RHONY'S CLAIMS
Back in February, Real Housewives of New York City alum Leah McSweeney, 41, made serious allegations against Andy, producers, and production companies.
In a report shared by Deadline, Leah described a "rotted workplace culture that uniquely depended on pressuring its employees to consume alcohol."

Leah also stated, "It's a workplace culture where toxicity, alcoholism, and pain are not only expected but encouraged and facilitated."
She claimed that Andy "engages in cocaine use" with cast members of the Real Housewives and other Bravo stars and rewards "Housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and edits."

Days later through a rep, Andy denied the allegations.
"The claims against Andy are completely false!" they said to the news outlet.
ANOTHER LAWSUIT
Also in February, Andy was accused of sexual misconduct by former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, 51.
Lawyers representing the reality TV star also slammed Bravo for the portrayal of Brandi as she appeared on a recent season of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

In court docs obtained by The Blast, Brandi felt "disgusted and trapped" by Andy's past comments about how he wanted to sleep with her.
In the legal letter, her lawyers said, "Ms. Glanville herself has been a victim of sexual harassment at Bravo by none other than Andy Cohen.
"In a video sent by Mr. Cohen to Ms. Glanville in 2022, Mr. Cohen—appearing obviously inebriated—boasted of his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of 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."
On the day the allegations came to light, Andy apologized to Brandi for his comment.

On X, formerly Twitter, Andy stated, "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."
