Rebel Wilson is doubling down on her feud with Sacha Baron Cohen!

UPDATED: A letter sent by Andy Cohen‘s lawyer to the legal team of Real Housewives of New York alum Leah McSweeney reiterates that claims of workplace discrimination and retaliation made in her lawsuit against the franchise’s boss are false, and calls on McSweeney to retract her accusations.
The letter, delivered Wednesday from Cohen’s powerhouse lawyer Orin Synder, got right to the point of McSweeney’s allegations – especially those involving claims of Cohen using cocaine with his employees as part of a “rotted workplace culture.”
“While virtually every statement about Mr. Cohen contained in the complaint is false and will be proven so if this baseless lawsuit proceeds, we demand that you immediately retract and withdraw all allegations relating to Mr. Cohen’s purported ‘cocaine use,’ including but not limited to the allegation that Mr. Cohen ‘engages in cocaine use with Housewives and other ‘Bravolebrities’ that he employs,’ the Gibson Dunn attorney wrote. “If you refuse to do so, Mr. Cohen reserves the right to hold you and your client accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

The latest salvo comes after Cohen’s PR rep responded immediately to the suit filed late last month in U.S. District Court in New York, calling the claims “completely false.” Warner Bros Discovery, NBCUniversal, Bravo Media and show producer Shed Media were also named in the lawsuit.
McSweeney’s filing said she was bringing “this action to hold Defendants’ accountable for their unlawful employment acts of disability discrimination, hostile work environment, retaliation, sex and gender discrimination.

Luckily for them, they did not make the same mistake again and sent her home at the end of the episode.
