It’s been a minute since Heather Thomson “HOLLA!-ed” her way through Seasons 5-7 of The Real Housewives of New York. However, she’s remaining loyal to her former boss, Andy Cohen.
Andy and RHONY alum Leah McSweeney have been embroiled in a lawsuit. Leah filed the suit against Andy, Bravo, and Shed Media earlier this year. She claims that even though she was struggling with her sobriety, showrunners pressured her to drink to amp up drama during filming. She also alleged that Andy would partake in cocaine with some Real Housewives. He vehemently denies all of her accusations and has asked for the suit to be dismissed.
In a recent interview, Heather expressed that she had never experienced anything that Leah accused Andy of.
Leah appeared at a hearing just last week, marking the first time her suit saw the courtroom. Heather recently spoke with Daily Mail.
Though Heather isn’t surprised how things are going down, she shared that she is “saddened.”
She explained, “I’m very saddened by the turn of events. It wasn’t my experience on the show ever to be pushed. I was never pushed, ever.”
Leah’s last season on RHONY – Season 13 – was also the end of RHONY as we knew it before the current reboot. Heather said of the downfall, “The way that whole thing ended was the writing was on the wall a little bit, I think.”
