Despite enlisting the help of a “team of investigators,” Andy Cohen has revealed that it was actually a Bravo fan who “delivered crucial information” that ultimately “cracked the case” on who leaked the unauthorized audio from last week’s Summer House reunion.
As The Ashley told you last week, just hours after filming wrapped on the much-anticipated Season 10 reunion, two minutes of on-set audio was leaked on social media by an unknown– and seemingly inside– source.
In the clip, cast members Kyle Cooke, Ciara Miller, Mia Calabrese, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, and KJ Dillard could be heard confronting co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson about their new– and rather polarizing– relationship. (Click here for The Ashley’s full transcript of the leaked clip.)
On the new episode of his Andy Cohen Live radio show, Andy recalled the moment he found out about the “violation” that had occurred, while insisting that he “knew immediately” that the audio hadn’t been leaked by someone on the ‘Summer House’ cast.
Hours after last week’s audio leak, Andy took to Threads to react to the incident, telling fans that, “people laid their souls out emotionally for 10 hours and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this.”
“It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday,” he continued. “Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
While Andy insisted on his show that he immediately knew who didn’t leak the recording, he noted that the network had enlisted a team of investigators to find the person who had released the audio; however, he shared with listeners that it was ultimately a fan who figured out who the real culprit was.
“ … let me say that, though this team of investigators were on it, a Bravo fan– who you’re going to hear more about– cracked the case,” Andy said. “[They] delivered crucial information … and Bravo has since released a statement … .”
On Sunday, Bravo announced in a social media statement that the investigation into the ‘Summer House’ audio leak had concluded, and that it was determined that “the audio was an unauthorized recording” that had been “distributed by an individual involved in the production of the reunion.”
The statement went on to claim that “appropriate action” had been taken and that there was no evidence that suggested a cast member had been involved in the recording. The network also acknowledged in the statement the existence of additional “improperly obtained audio”– which Andy had also mentioned on his show– which they cautioned “all parties and platforms to refrain from posting, sharing or amplifying.”
New episodes of ‘Summer House’ air Tuesdays on Bravo and stream Wednesdays on Peacock. Listen to a clip of Andy discussing the ‘Summer House’ audio leak below.

I’m so curious as to why this information is being treated as if it was a threat to life and limb. Did Bravo think we wouldn’t have already assumed the cast confronts, yells, and criticizes West and Amanda at the reunion? Did Andy think we wouldn’t already predict this to be an emotionally volatile reunion?
Andy needs to stop treating us like idiots. This is drama over a silly show—one I happen to enjoy, but seriously?! There are people dying in the world, Andy. This is a tv show about beautiful people partying in the Hamptons. Let’s not conflate this as something more serious.
I think the leak is bravo, nbc or Andy. Im not buying the story
Part two is on Reddit Bra o Real Housewives and SH subreddits FYI
@byefel ~ audio was removed 🚫🔉 by the time i checked, but there was a written summary (not an actual transcript tho).
mandy apparently comes off (even more) poorly. shocker, i know. 😯🤭
also ~ did you see that lola made sure to post that her ‘reunion departure blanket’ was NOT one of theirs? 🤣😸 nice little low-key takedown. (from a few days back, i know; oh well 🤷🏼♀️)
ooh, just saw that a transcript was posted. back to r*ddit to give it a read…🏃🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️
Yes!
Bwahaha, i will say that blanket looked comfy. I have a knock off that only has fluff on one side so it doesn’t get in my face, and i can use it to keep my head and neck stable(spine stuff). I love it. Its very soft and extra floofy on my pillow.
I hissed when i saw amanada with one, she doesnt deserve soft warm plushy things, even if dupes.
I contemplating getting a small lola to bring in my many medical appointments to help keep my less sore. Is that silly?
Man, i wish they’d PPV this entire reunion.
Thank you!
I’m sorry but I’m just not buying this whole “leaked audio” situation from Summer House. The way Andy Cohen explained it, that they hired investigators and somehow a random fan helped crack the case, just feels way too convenient. I’m not saying nothing happened, but the whole thing comes off more like PR than reality.
