On Thursday afternoon, Cohen, 55, issued an apologyon X(formerly known as Twitter).
“The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi. 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,” Cohen wrote.
A Bravo rep had no comment but a source who saw the video tells PEOPLE the clip was comedic in nature.
“No one in their right mind would think that anything Andy was saying in that video was meant to be taken seriously," says the insider. “It was very clear that everyone was in on the joke.”
Glanville’s attorneys said Cohen “remains in his post,” continuing his work with Bravo, and likened the production companies and network to another where “profits were prioritized over people.”

“Mr. Cohen was Ms. Glanville’s boss at the time and exercised complete and total control over her career,” the letter stated. Freedman and Geragos called Cohen’s alleged actions “an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted.”
The letter also referenced theReal Housewives: Ultimate Girls Tripseason that Glanville participated in. FormerReal Housewives of New Jerseystar Caroline Manzo was also a cast member on the trip to Morocco, which has yet to air.
Glanvillewas asked to leave filming in Morocco last Januaryafter allegedly taking things too far with costarManzoduring a party,kissing theReal Housewives of New Jerseyalumna multiple times throughout the evening without her consentand groping her off-camera.

“We have heard about a supposed ‘bathroom incident’ through press leaks, but Shed Media has repeatedly refused to allow Ms. Glanville or her counsel to see the footage in question; there is no truth to any allegations of impropriety,” her attorneys said.
“Ms. Glanville and Ms. Manzo were never alone together that evening,” they added.
