Andy Cohen brushes off the backlash.

The Bravo exec made it clear that he has “no regrets about the way he handled anything” as he faces sexual harassment allegations from former Real Housewives.

“I think most of the people involved in these shows have been very grateful to the platform, but there will always be a few who complain,” the Watch What Happens Live host admitted to the Hollywood Reporter in his statement cover story published on Wednesday.

“Obviously being a target is no fun,” he clarified, calling recent allegations about his behavior “hurtful.”

The 55-year-old, who couldn’t “talk” about the specific lawsuits for legal reasons, went on to explain how he maintains a positive attitude during the legal battle.

“I think everything that happens in your life influences the next thing that happens in your life,” Cohen said. “That’s how I see it all. I know what the truth is and I know how I behaved and I stand proud of that every day.”

The Emmy winner gushed about how “super proud” he is of the franchise.

The tell-all interview, which also touched on Cohen’s dating life and his experience as a single father with son Benjamin and daughter Lucy, comes three months after Brandi Glanville claimed he invited her to join him having sex on Below Deck. Star Kate Chastain to watch.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum’s attorneys called the request an “extraordinary abuse of power” in a legal notice obtained by Page Six in February.

At the time, Cohen called the exchange about X a “joke.”

“The (video in question) clearly shows Kate Chastain and I joking with Brandi,” he tweeted. “It was absolutely meant in jest and Brandi’s response clearly showed she was in on the joke. However, it was completely inappropriate and I apologize.”


Can’t get enough of “Real Housewives”?


A month earlier, Caroline Manzo sued Bravo over allegations of sexual harassment by Glanville during the filming of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

While Cohen refrained from discussing those issues on Wednesday, he did respond to Leah McSweeney’s February claim that he and the network exploited her drinking problem for ratings.

“We have so many sober people and people who have gotten sober on the show,” he said. “Of course there are people who drink. There are many people who never drink. We don’t force anyone to do anything.

“But no one secretly hides bottles of alcohol on set,” he continued of the Real Housewives of New York City alum’s “ridiculous” claim.

Bravo stars including Golnesa Gharachedaghi and Chanel Ayan have since stood by Cohen.

Additionally, the Radio Andy host’s girlfriend, Kelly Ripa, responded to McSweeney’s lawsuit alleging that Cohen did cocaine with Bravolebrities.

“I’ve never seen a drug near him,” the “Live With Kelly and Mark” host, 53, told her “Let’s Talk Off Camera” podcast listeners in March. “I’m so offended by this. I’m so angry about this.”
