Tori Spelling Accuses Andy Cohen Of Blocking Her ‘RHOBH’ Opportunity

Just when you thought the former Hollywood starlet’s life could not get more dramatic, Spelling unleashed the shocking accusation amid a messy divorce and a confession about her struggles with hoarding. 

In a recent episode of her podcast “misSPELLING,” Spelling did not hold back as she shed light on a conversation with Cohen.

The actress alleged that the Bravo executive producer played a significant role in blocking her from joining the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” 

During the podcast episode, the former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star recounted her exchange with Cohen, revealing her disappointment when her aspirations were dismissed.

“Every single one of them I am friends with and have known forever and have a history,” Spelling expressed, referring to the “RHOBH” cast members. 

However, Cohen’s response left her puzzled and frustrated. “And I’m like, ‘So, Andy, what’s the answer?” she queried, to which Cohen allegedly responded, “Ehh, I don’t know. You and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? I can’t see it.”

Spelling noted that his seemingly lackluster response made her anxious about confronting the 55-year-old about whether her financial situation contributed to his reluctance to cast her.

The TV personality also mentioned that she even hinted at her rich upbringing and status as the original “Beverly Hills” girl, emphasizing her long-standing ties to the glamorous world portrayed on the show.

Despite facing setbacks in her pursuit of reality TV stardom, Spelling has had to tackle bigger challenges head-on. As reported by The Blast, the 50-year-old shed light on her struggles with accumulating possessions. 

With a candid admission, she declared, “I’m a hoarder, you guys! Hi, my name’s Tori and I’m a hoarder. There I said it. I always tell people, ‘I’m not a hoarder. I’m a collector.'”

The mother-of-five admitted that her journey towards simplicity gained momentum after she reflected on the impact of relocating her family to an Airbnb due to a mold infestation in their home. In her words:

“I can breathe because I don’t have all my sh-t falling on top of me. I would like to clean up my life for my kids because they deserve better.”

Spelling expressed her sadness about losing her possessions and equated it to erasing a part of herself. As the impending loss of her storage space approached, she emotionally stated:

“But now I’m ready to let go of a lot of stuff. Well, because I have to, because I can’t pay for it.”

Despite her brave front, she made it clear that she was not seeking sympathy. The author did not shy away from acknowledging her shortcomings, confessing that she “wasn’t taught how to function in the real world.” 

She also admitted her struggles with financial literacy. “I’m not good with money. I suck with money. I didn’t even know how to write a check until I was in my 40s,” Spelling revealed. 

Before Spelling’s accusations against Cohen surfaced, another popular “Real Housewives” personality, Leah McSweeney, threw Cohen into the spotlight with shocking allegations of cocaine use and favoritism within the network.

The reality TV star painted a damning picture of Cohen, claiming it was no secret that Bravo “thrives off drug and alcohol use.” 

In court documents filed in the Southern District of New York, McSweeney alleged that Cohen ‘engages in cocaine use with Housewives that he employs.”

She also accused the producer of providing preferential treatment to Housewives with whom he indulged in drug use. 

Without specifying any names, the legal documents claimed, “Cohen tends to provide the Housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and (makes them appear more agreeably (in) edits (of their shows).”

The scandal surrounding Bravo Network and Cohen deepened as allegations of a toxic workplace culture emerged, including accusations of ignoring sexually predatory behavior.

McSweeney’s lawsuit focused on a producer employed by Shed Media, the production company behind popular shows like “RHONY” and “RHUGT.”

The document alleged that this producer engaged in disturbing behavior, like “routinely sends unsolicited pictures of (their) genitalia to lower-level … production employees.”

Despite repeated complaints, the network allegedly not only ignored the issue but “(they) continue to elevate (the producer) to positions of increased power.”
