We also dig into the court’s analysis of disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, retaliation, and that infamous letter from Andy Cohen. Plus, how the First Amendment continues to serve as a powerful shield for reality TV—especially in this case.

What’s on the docket?

A deep dive into how the court responded to each of Leah’s claims
How First Amendment protections shield Bravo’s casting decisions
Which claims were tossed—and which ones are moving forward
Why the judge says Andy Cohen’s infamous letter doesn’t qualify as retaliation
Why Leah’s RICO claim didn’t hold up
Where the case stands now—and Leah’s latest move to amend her complaint
