Andy Cohen is apologizing to Brandi Glanville for making an “inappropriate” joke with Brandi Glanville after she accused him of sexual harassment. 

“The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi,” he wrote via X, seemingly confirming that the other reality star in question is Glanville’s good pal, “Below Deck” alum Kate Chastain. 

“It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke,” the “Watch What Happens Live” host further claimed. 

Still, Cohen, 55, admitted his remark was “totally inappropriate.” He concluded, “And I apologize.”

On Thursday, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 51, claimed in a legal letter via her attorneys that Cohen sent her a video in 2022, further alleging that he appeared “obviously inebriated.”

Cohen allegedly “boasted” in the clip that he wanted to “sleep with another Bravo star” while “thinking” of Glanville, per the letter, and invited the former “Housewife” to watch him engage in the sexual act via FaceTime.

The identity of the reality star that Cohen allegedly wanted to get intimate with was not disclosed in the legal letter, though he named Chastain.

“Mr. Cohen was Ms. Glanville’s boss at the time and exercised complete and total control over her career,” the letter stated in part. 

“This was an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted. It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his post in spite of this behavior and harkens back to the bad old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritized over people.”

The letter from Glanville’s attorneys — written by lawyers Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos — comes after Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, in which she accuses production companies involved with the network of not protecting her during an alleged sexual assault incident with Glanville while filming “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” last year in Morocco.
