'Project Runway' alum alleges Andy Cohen was more of a 'predator' on set than Harvey Weinstein
Season 5 contestant Kenley Collins opened up in an explosive social media post, criticizing the reality TV design competition and comparing Cohen to convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein.
'Do you guys really think Harvey Weinstein was the worst one on set? Andy Cohen was,' Collins alleges in a series of videos she posted on her Instagram account.
The Weinstein Company produced the early seasons of the show when it was airing on Bravo, and Cohen, who Collins alleges was a 'predator' on set, was also an executive producer from 2004 to 2008.
'Andy Cohen was disgusting, horrible, worst, predator with the gays, hopping around the set like, 'Hey Twinks!' Collins alleged.

The Project Runway and All Stars alum claims that she witnessed the longtime Bravo host and producer of 'propositioning designers to have a threesome.'
'We called you 'The Gay Weinstein,' acting like a f*cking clown on set,' Collins said.
The 37-year-old fashion designer also brought up allegations made by Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes and referenced the ongoing court cases that have claimed Cohen is guilty of establishing a hostile workplace.
'NBC can pay all the money in the world to cover your ass after Nene spoke the truth about you,' Kenley continued. 'You're a racist predator. You're finished.'

Although she dropped her lawsuit in 2022, Leakes claimed that Cohen and other network executives from Bravo and NBC Universal violated federal employment and anti-discrimination laws by fostering "a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,' People reported.
But she isn't the only one who alleges that Cohen and other producers are bad actors. Former Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney has an ongoing lawsuit against Cohen, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, production company Shed Media US, and two producers who she alleges exploited her addiction while she was on the show.
In March, the judge dismissed all of the charges except for three of McSweeney's disability-related claims, and an outside investigation into the claims that McSweeney and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville made against Cohen was 'found to be unsubstantiated.'
In a follow-up post on Instagram, Collins thanked her fans for their support and alluded to the possibility that she would reveal more details in the future. 'It's been a scary yet freeing past few days. I'm not stopping. There is more to come,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you guys for the love and support. I did not expect that. I'm very touched. Stay tuned.'
Cohen did not immediately respond to PRIDE's request for comment.

Listen up WNBA fans, players are fed up with sex toy bit, so can you please keep it in your pants?
The WNBA has been busy making headlines for rising in popularity, having rookie players that are breaking records, and being extremely queer. But lately, the league has been in the news because colorful dildos have been flying onto the court during games. At first, it seemed comical, playful even, and maybe a good luck charm for the Golden State Valkyries, who won both games where a dildo ended up on the court. But now, women's sports fans, it's time to talk because you've taken it too far. It's not funny anymore. The first lime green dildo was thrown onto the court of a contentious game between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream on July 29 in Georgia. Almost the entirety of the internet thought the incident was hilarious and quickly got busy making memes. But then it just kept happening. The bizarre trend continued a few days later at an August 1 game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky. The third time this happened, Indian Fever star Sophie Cunningham ended up getting hit in the head with the sex toy after telling people on X (formerly Twitter) to 'stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.' Then, someone tried to throw another green dildo at a New York Liberty game, but instead of it landing on the court, it nearly hit a child, according to a video posted on social media. Once a sex toy almost nails a kid in the head, it's time to look at what we're doing. At first, we wondered if this wasn't a funny, tongue-in-cheek way to call out just how sapphic the game has gotten, but now that a man has been arrested and said that it was 'supposed to be a joke' and 'go viral,' the intentions seem more problematic. Being taken seriously as a female athlete is already a tough assignment, and having sex toys flying left and right during games isn't helping, especially at a time when WNBA players are fighting for better compensation and revenue sharing. Bottom line: women's sports are not a joke. And while we'd like to think this started as a harmless prank that gave us all a chuckle, it's starting to smack of sexism. In the beginning even some of the players seemed to laugh along. Fever guard Sydney Colson even went on her podcast dressed a green dildo, but then things kept escalating and other players started pointing out how 'disrespectful' and 'dangerous' it is. 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said after he game against the Valkyries, per Front Office Sports. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever's doing it just needs to grow up.' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts also said, 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid. It's also dangerous. Player safety is number one, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.' And GOAT Diana Taurasi had the perfect response for the jokesters, 'I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them.' Maybe we should all just listen to the players themselves. So whoever is keeping this 'joke' going, whether they are straight or gay, it's time to call it quits. The bit is getting tired anyway, right?

Humor: Sex was not why our non-monogamous relationship failed
The truth is even dirtier. You uptight monogamists are wrong. You think the human tendency to be jealous of anyone getting down and dirty with 'their' partner means that ethical non-monogamous relationships are always destined to fail. But, with superior communication skills, unreasonably high levels of confidence, and a genius for compartmentalization, a relationship where you each have sex with multiple partners can TOTALLY work. Excellent time management skills are helpful too. Finding, scheduling, and having sex with all these other people does not happen by itself! Not every ENM relationship lasts forever, of course. But that doesn't mean they all end due to jealousy or one of you falling in love with someone else you're having sex with. When my nearly 7-month relationship with my ex-boyfriend, Frank, ended it had nothing to do with either of those things. First, Frank showed up 25 minutes late to my birthday dinner at The BratHaus. He brought two women he'd met on Hinge. It was so embarrassing. Not because he couldn't give me his full attention even on my birthday. What upset me was that he didn't call the restaurant ahead of time and change the reservation from 2 to 4! So rude! That poor waitress had to drag over another heavy wine barrel table to accommodate us. Sex with multiple partners is nice but, proper restaurant etiquette is important to me. Second, Frank's other girlfriend, Susie, would often sleep over on Thursdays to do role-play, which I had no problem with. (I was usually at Nathan's house anyway with Gary. ) What upset me is that he put Susie's Little Red Riding Hood costume in the washing machine with my delicates even after I told him how crucial it was to always separate whites and darks! I couldn't decide if I was more upset by the laundry carelessness or that I now had a whole load of pink clothes. It really got my goat. (Not a euphemism!) On the third Saturday of every month, Frank's friend Stanley would sleep over. The next morning Frank would make Stanley an elaborate breakfast in bed. Was I upset that Frank never brought me breakfast in bed? No, my ego can handle that, no problem! I DIDN'T CARE. What I did care about was that he left a million dirty pots and pans all over the kitchen until at least 3 pm when they would finally emerge from the guest room. Sweaty. And Frank would hand wash them all in the sink. This, I can't tolerate! Dishwashers are 10x more water efficient than hand washing. I need a partner who cares about water conservation. Not long after that, a new guy I'd recently met at hot yoga, Jean-Claude, and I were barbecuing on the grill out back. When I finally found the BBQ sauce hiding in the fridge, I discovered Frank giving Jean-Claude a shoulder massage. This was unexpected — I didn't think Jean-Claude was one of Frank's many, many types. But it didn't bother me! What upset me was when I went to shake the bottle before pouring it on the ribs, BBQ sauce flew out of the bottle and splattered all over me — and they laughed. Granted, it must have looked funny. And I can forgive Jean-Claude for this since it was so shocking, but not Frank. That's because I have repeatedly told Frank not to just place lids on top of condiment bottles and jars without screwing them on tight! So annoying. And this was not the first time Frank saw me get a sauce bath! So he should not have been laughing. But what finally made me decide to dump Frank and insist he move out was when I came home from working a double shift and discovered him in my bed with his ex-wife Evelyn. Again, I was not jealous, I was mad because I had just put clean sheets on the bed that morning and Frank knows how much I always enjoy the first night in a bed with clean sheets. And he and Evelyn stole this from me! They could have used the guest room or even the sex room in the basement, that is literally for sex! Why on my fresh clean sheets?? I realized that I can't be in a relationship with a man who disregards my pleasures and preferences like that, no matter how good our sex is on Monday nights and every other Wednesday morning. So, you see? It wasn't jealousy. I'm incapable of jealousy. Go ahead, have sex with my new boyfriend, Greg, and his secondary, Cherie, right now if you want! In front of me! I want a partner who believes in the joy and freedom of the ENM lifestyle. But I also need one who knows how to load a dishwasher, respects my love of clean sheets, understands proper restaurant etiquette, knows how to do laundry, and is always willing to give 100% in screwing, not just in the bedroom (or sex room), but also the lids on sauces and condiments!
