Andy Cohen is seemingly unbothered by the fact that Brandi Glanville’s lawyers are calling for him to be fired over a video the Bravo exec sent the reality star that they’ve deemed was “sexual harassment.”

Paparazzi captured the “Watch What Happens Live” host, 55, out for a walk in New York City Friday, and he appeared in good spirits despite a scathing legal letter that alleged he’s guilty of sexual misconduct.

Cohen — who was seen wearing a plaid peacoat, blue blazer, white shirt, orange tie, jeans and red-colored shoes — waved at a photographer and flashed a big smile as he exited an office building.

The talk show host continued to be in a good mood well into Saturday, when he shared via his Instagram Stories that he went to a Harlem Globetrotters game with his 5-year-old son, Benjamin.

While Cohen does not seem too perturbed by the allegations Glanville made against him, her lawyers appear heated over the fact that NBC has not taken action against the “Andy Cohen Diaries” author.

“Why is Andy Cohen getting a pass?” attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos asked in a statemetn to Page Six Friday.

“Any other supervisor at Comcast/NBC who engaged in this behavior would be fired immediately on the spot.”

The lawyers then blasted NBC for allegedly protecting “those in power,” claiming that Cohen had not gotten axed yet because he makes the media company “too much money.”

Page Six broke the news Thursday that Freedman and Geragos sent NBC, Warner Bros. and Shed Media, one of the production companies behind the “Housewives” franchise, a legal notice accusing Cohen of inviting Glanville to watch him have sex with another Bravolebrity.

The attorneys claimed the father of two was “obviously inebriated” when he sent the clip of himself “boasting” that he wanted to “sleep with another Bravo star” while “thinking” of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum.

Freedman and Gerago said the video allegedly left Glanville feeling “trapped and disgusted,” and called the entire ordeal an “extraordinary abuse of power.”

Shortly after, Cohen admitted via X that he sent the video but claimed it was all “meant in jest.”

“The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi,” he tweeted on Thursday.

“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.”

Glanville has not directly responded to Cohen’s apology, but her lawyers have said that her battle with the “Most Talkative” author is far from over, as she is considering taking legal action.

Freedman and Geragos’ letter, however, comes on the heels of 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.

Many fans have speculated that the accusations made about Cohen are some form of retaliation for the suit about the former “RHOBH” star, and to further fuel Bethenny Frankel’s “reality TV reckoning” which Freedman and Geragos are also overseeing.
