After first leaking a shocking video in which Andy, 56, requested the 51-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum watch him and Below Deck‘s Kate Chastain have sex, Brandi accused Andy of treating her like a “little sex worker” and pressuring her to hook up with Southern Charm star Austen Kroll, 37, and a Bravo employee.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, Brandi looked back on the inappropriate messages she allegedly received from Andy at BravoCon in October 2022.
“At Bravocon Andy texted me saying that he wanted me to hook up with his stage manager, and I almost felt like, do I have to do this?” she recalled. “He was saying, ‘I want you, my employee, to f*ck another one of my employees. And then also, by the way, I think you should f**k Austen. He has eyes for you.’ Your boss should never talk to you that way.”
According to the report, Brandi shared messages dating back to a decade ago, the oldest of which was sent from Andy’s NBCUniversal email account. In the messages, Andy discussed Brandi’s sex life and asked for gossip she’d heard about his — even though they weren’t friends.
“We are not friends, we do not hang out outside of work ever, and we were at a work event,” she said. “I felt this tremendous amount of pressure to please him, but that was too far. I’m not going to go and sleep with someone.”
“He literally thought I would do it. That’s the disgusting part. And as my boss, telling him I need to sleep with another employee [that] he employs. He’s got problems,” Brandi continued, noting that the messages made her feel “disgusted.”
“What am I supposed to go and hook up with these guys and tell you about how the sex is, because you told me to?” she wondered. “That is a different kind of boss. That is a pimp. I am not a hooker … Who the f**k does he think he is? Does he think he’s God? Does he think I’m going to run off and spread my legs because he told me to?”
As she showcased the messages she and Andy reportedly exchanged over the years, Brandi acknowledged that Andy’s statements were “brazen” as she called out the “stupid” decision to put his antics in writing.
“Are you that stupid that you’re texting employees about sex? Like he does not care. He doesn’t think he’s gonna get caught. He thinks he can do whatever he f**king wants, and so far, he has,” she claimed.
As for why Andy took such interest in her sex life, Brandi suspected he was trying to live vicariously through her with the men he couldn’t have because they were “straight.”
“I’m like his little sex worker, and I’m not, I’m sorry. I’m a mom of two,” she stated. “I’m not what he’s made me into in his head. I’m not that, and I have to play the role. And it f**king is disgusting … I feel like a f*cking prostitute in a weird way.”
In messages shared on social media, Andy is allegedly seen discussing Brandi’s potential hookup with Austen and his stage manager.
“I really wanted you and Austin to get together. He had his eyes on you,” Andy wrote.
“Ummm he’s already DM’d me like four times. Shep too but [Austen] had his girl with him. I’m going to Charleston for sure … and I don’t even like blondes. We need more male options!” Brandi replied.
Then, in another message, Andy reportedly wrote, “Kind of hoping you and my stage manager hooked up.”
“I think he wants you!!!!” Brandi wrote back.
As for Andy’s inquiries about what Brandi has heard about his sex life, he wrote in another message, “Btw next time I see you I wanna hear all the sex stuff you’ve heard about ME!”
“Haha ok!” Brandi replied.
“I remember Marco was giving you tea but you know everybody so I’m sure there is more!” he continued.
Brandi then said, “I really haven’t heard that much honestly other than Marco that’s it.”
In addition to Andy allegedly asking Brandi “to tell him about the people [she had] sex with,” he also questioned her about “who has a big penis,” which she described as an “abuse of power.”
He even asked her about her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, 51, and how good of a lover he was when she appeared on a January 2013 episode of WWHL.
“He’s great, he’s a nine,” she replied on air.
Then, after the taping, Andy sent her a message from his NBCUniversal email.
“Get home safe. Eddie was a NINE?” he asked.
“The last thing I want to do is talk about my ex, especially his penis size,” Brandi admitted to The U.S. Sun. “But you’re on his show, you’re playing by his rules. You have to answer the question. And that being on television is one thing, but then the next day, he starts emailing me to try to get more information about my ex-husband’s penis. And this is private, this is not for public consumption anymore.”
“In that moment, I knew I had to put up with it. I knew that this is going to be our relationship,” she shared. “I’ve been dealing with very sexually explicit texts and emails for over a decade, and none of them were jokes. I had to act like I wasn’t bothered by it, because what if I said, ‘You’re disgusting.’ You think I would ever work again, or, ‘F**k off’? No, I would be dead in the water.”
According to Brandi, she tolerated Andy’s reported behavior in an effort to remain employed.
“It was like he was dangling the carrot. Like, ‘Oh, here’s $5,000 to do this, and here’s five to do that,’ and, ‘We think we’re gonna bring you back.’ But I feel like, for him, my life is a joke,” she said. “I feel like Andy created a character that he wanted me to be and I became that character because I need to work.”
“I had to play ball. And if that means people thinking horrible things about me, which my real friends know are not true, then I just have to deal with the public perception,” she added.
Andy has not yet responded publicly to the leak.
