Bravo renews Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and says he's been CLEARED ... trends now
Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen has been renewed at Bravo.
The late night talk show is returning following a handful of allegations that were made against host Cohen by two former stars of the Real Housewives franchise.
In a statement, NBC confirmed that an investigation into Cohen's conduct had been completed prior to the renewal of WWHL.
'The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated,' the network said.
Watch What Happens Live joins a slew of other programs that have been renewed at the network, including The Valley, Summer House, Married to Medicine, Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, and Below Deck.

The Real Housewives of Potomac, Atlanta, New York City, Miami, Orange County, and Beverly Hills have all been renewed too.
Bravo will also launch two brand new reality shows: Making It in Manhattan, about a young group of friends in New York, and On Safari, which follows tour guides in South Africa as they create luxury experiences for thrill-seeking clients.
In February, Glanville accused Bravo bigwig Cohen of sexual harassment in an explosive legal letter that was sent by her attorneys to NBC, Shed Media and Warner Bros.
Glanville, 51, claimed that an 'obviously inebriated' Cohen sent her a video of himself saying that he wanted to have sex with another Bravo star and invited her to watch the act over FaceTime in 2022.
'In a video sent by Mr. Cohen to Ms. Glanville in 2022, Mr. Cohen—appearing obviously inebriated—boasted of his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via Facetime,' her attorney Bryan Freedman wrote.

The identity of the 'Bravo star' was not disclosed in the letter but Cohen later revealed it to be Below Deck alum Kate Chastain as he responded to Glanville's accusations on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday.
Cohen said that he — an openly gay man — and Chastain were 'joking' about hooking up but acknowledged it was 'inappropriate.'
'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,' the WWHL host wrote.
In the legal letter, Freedman notes that Cohen was Glanville's superior at the time the alleged video was sent as she was working on the second season of The Real Housewives Ultimate
