In the aftermath of Leah McSweeney’s shocking cocaine allegations against Andy Cohen, some fans pointed out that comedian Kathy Griffin was the first to call out the producer for the same thing. One person on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote, “Kathy Griffin was talking about this s*** like 7 years ago.” Another fan echoed similar sentiments, tweeting, “Remember when people didn’t believe Kathy Griffin?”
As fans have suggested, Griffin first called out Cohen for his alleged cocaine use in 2017, which stemmed from the latter seemingly shading her during an interview with TMZ. In a video for her YouTube channel, she aired out her grievances with the host, describing him as a miserable boss when she worked at Bravo. “People like Andy Cohen … who just live to take women down, we need to speak up about,” she exclaimed.
In addition to claiming that the TV host harassed and treated her poorly, Griffin accused him of abusing cocaine when she was a guest on “Watch What Happens Live.” She went on to add, “Both times I did the show right before we went live, Andy Cohen privately asked me in an office in Embassy Row, which is the production company that does that s*** show, if I wanted to do blow. You guys know I’m no prude, but I’m like kind of a straight edge … I thought he was kidding the first time.” She added that he asked if she wanted to do cocaine again during her second appearance, describing it as an uncomfortable experience.
