Not anymore
Even celebs can not get pure stuff and are running the risk of contaminated coke
Used to be celebs could have access to premium grade stuff (only reason Keith Richards is alive still), and while they still do, that stuff also gets contaminated with fentanyl.
Anyone using cocaine in this day and age is passively suicidal considering the risk of fentanyl
They aren’t accurate enough to test a section of one’s stash, the only way to be sure is to test the whole bag which isn’t possible - because fentanyl isn’t evenly distributed in whatever it’s contaminating. that’s what happened in a few widely documented cases where several people died from a night of doing coke with friends but one or two of the people survived - because the part of the bag that they snorted wasn’t contaminated but the part of the baggie that the victims snorted WAS contaminated. So scary.

People should just encourage this instead of all the whining about it being too much to handle to save your life.
In this day and age it’s bonkers that anyone with means that likes to dable in drug use is not having said drug tested for cutting agents. Especially with how fetty has been running rampant. It’s like if your connect tells you this stuff has a 50/50 chance of killing you and your like, I’ll take 2. Room temperature IQ decision making at its finest.
Yes, I have multiple sclerosis and fatigue is a killer. I couldn’t function without it. 100 mg gets me through the day. 200 I can stay up late. I hear you can keep taking it and stay up for days. It does wonders for jet lag.
Even a testing strip isn’t foolproof considering the microscopic* amount of fentanyl it takes to kill and the fact that not every part of the substance is being tested
*Minute is a better word than microscopic
Buddy please stop spreading misinformation about drugs. The LD50 is low with fentanyl, and even lower with its analogues, but to say it’s “microscopic” is a gross mischaracterization of how substances work. If we’re going to get out of this issue we have to be real about it not using fear-mongering language.
Ok minute is a better word than microscopic, I grant you that. But I don’t feel like it truly changes the substance of what I am saying is a problem, and you are essentially arguing semantics
I don’t disagree, it was a slip up and I used minute in other comments to describe the size so I was just trying to use a different word and didn’t think how that could be inaccurate.
I still don’t feel I’m in the wrong overall on this issue.
People take fentanyl recreationally. People take fentanyl for pain prescribed by a doctor. It’s not that dangerous that a microscopic dose would kill you.
Taking it knowingly, especially if prescribed by a physician, is not what I’m referring to in my comments. I’m referring to the vast amount of deaths attributed to accidental usage through other drugs contaminated with it
And unless you dissolve your drug in water and test those kits aren’t going to catch everything 100%. Besides the fact that the majority of people just don’t bother with it which is unfortunate

This is definitely true, but my larger point is hard drugs as a whole aren’t safe anymore even if you’re a celeb with access to top stuff because of fentanyl cross contamination
And coke is a big risk factor for that
Lol “countless” and you can only dig up 3 in the last 6 years. And Prince was addicted to pain killers so he very well could’ve been intentionally taking Fentanyl.
Lmao as if there isn’t millions more that are doing coke daily without issue. You literally no nothing about how these people are getting supplied and the quality of it.
It is true. I remember watching a documentary and lady was talking about she got clean and it was because she ODed on fentanyl, but it was suppose to just be cocaine. That’s just one example. If it happened to this one person it’s definitely happening to other people.
It’s not false. You run the risk every single time you do coke in this country. Unless you have a direct hook up with the cartels importing it or you are actually in those countries.
It’s why there’s new celebs constantly dying of fentanyl overdoses. You appear to be a coke user deluding yourself about your habit based on the subs you post in..
The problem is testing kits aren’t infallible. Unless you’re willing to completely forego the snorting. Even if you test your coke before snorting literally all it takes is missing a grain of fentanyl somewhere in there, and you aren’t testing every single piece.
Unless you want to dissolve all of your cocaine in water and then test it, which I bet most do not.
Not to mention most people just don’t care enough to test. But for sure it helps, even more helpful for E
It’s being cut with fent on the street level after being stepped on a few times being transported from its place of origin, not the manufacturing level. Shit dealers have been adding other drugs to their supply as a way to try and keep customers coming back for more. Which is stupid because anyone who’s actually done coke before will tell you that cocaine makes you want more coke. Coke rhymes with broke for a reason.
You do realize that unless you check every grain of your cocaine, you won’t be certain that you’re not about to take fentanyl
Micrograms of fentanyl is all it takes. And unless you dissolve your coke in water and test the water (which no one does) you can’t confidently say that it’s 100% clear
No matter how people rationalize themselves to do coke nowadays, it’s a roll of the dice every time.
I assumed he was blacked out during that cause he had that brain dead, Shark eye blank stare. After seeing more clips of him over the years, that’s just him. Never seems like there’s a whole lot going on up there.
Ikr. I came here to say that I would too if i were in his job, there were so many manufactured party times on his shows, why not do some blow.
I mean I wouldn't because I have an addictive personality but if not for that I would.
I find it kind of funny that lawsuit is just so unsurprising. Like, “yeah, I assumed that’s what happens. Is this actually new?”
If you don’t expect coke fueled parties from that guy, you’re a bit naive
This always confuses me about what goes “unsaid” 😵💫 like the ladies referencing Dorinda’s coke habit at a reunion or someone said that Jax didn’t really steal sunglasses in Hawaii he got busted for coke. what are the potential implications? It’s kind of a known / assumed thing that Cohen does drugs but the point here is that it’s in the workplace and results in preferential treatment? It never seems like actual law enforcement is the outcome like a drug bust but just some shaming on a known / socially accepted thing?
Kathy Griffin brought up these allegations when Andy blacklisted her. Other people have hinted at these same things years back. Andy is , in my opinion only, a child. He has no self awareness and no a clue of how nasty he really is. I really think that whatever he is holding over the heads of everyone that keeps acting like he owns the airwaves needs to come clean and relieve us all of his presence. LOL.
Non-story at 5:00
I mean the sexual predation stuff (against someone else) is serious, but I don't see why you include the use of drugs and alcohol in a lawsuit. I'm also not a lawyer, so maybe it's just there to help paint a picture?
Did people really not believe her?? It’s insanely obvious.
I suppose I wasn’t watching enough Bravo when they fell out, but I am legitimately surprised that her saying he has favorites wasn’t met with the same response as this thread is giving this need.
“Well…yes. And?”
Edit: he doesn’t even seem to try to hide it!
*“The news comes days after fellow “Real Housewives” star Brandi Glanville claimed in a legal letter that an “obviously inebriated” Cohen sexually harassed her by telling her that he wanted to “sleep with another Bravo star” while “thinking” of Glanville and invited her to watch over FaceTime.”*
Oh shit, straight women are now feeling sexually harassed by gay men when they get too familiar with their compliments. I agree the comment was over the top, but ultimately it was an obvious attempt at humor while platonically complimenting her on her looks. Harassment would be if Andy actually started trying to schedule the FaceTime sessions and/or kept repeatedly saying he thinks of her while having sex with men. If this was a one-off comment then calling it “sexual harassment” really dilutes the meaning of the term.
I would be surprised if he didn’t do cocaine.
Being rich, famous and never doing cocaine does seem like a waste tbf.

Fent testing strips are incredibly cheap to buy.
They are free at my local health department
These days you’re lucky if it’s just fent. Whole lotta nitazenes and stuff out there that won’t show up on a test
This is so true.
They aren’t accurate enough to test a section of one’s stash, the only way to be sure is to test the whole bag which isn’t possible - because fentanyl isn’t evenly distributed in whatever it’s contaminating. that’s what happened in a few widely documented cases where several people died from a night of doing coke with friends but one or two of the people survived - because the part of the bag that they snorted wasn’t contaminated but the part of the baggie that the victims snorted WAS contaminated.

At the very least hire a cocaine taster like the food taster of yore. Call them the strawbearer.
I grow only the finest artisanal cocaine in my basement
Coke is so passé. All the cool kids know that provigil is the sophisticated way to stay up for days.
Is that something I should ask my doctor about?
Yes, I have multiple sclerosis and fatigue is a killer. I couldn’t function without it. 100 mg gets me through the day. 200 I can stay up late. I hear you can keep taking it and stay up for days. It does wonders for jet lag.

It’s important to be accurate in what you say if you’re speaking on an issue, particularly this one. Otherwise, you discredit yourself.
I don’t disagree, it was a slip up and I used minute in other comments to describe the size so I was just trying to use a different word and didn’t think how that could be inaccurate. I still don’t feel I’m in the wrong overall on this issue.
Considering that the drug is measured in micrograms I'd say that microscopic is an appropriately used word here.

Prescribed is irrelevant, but the people taking it recreationally typically have opioid tolerances. Cocaine users typically do not.
If you’re going to do it, please ensure you have Narcan (or the bar / house / whatever does)!

Mac Miller died of fentanyl, yes. He was buying what he thought were prescription pills not cocaine.
Those people were definitely doing more than coke

As soon as I read the headline my first thought was, why wouldn’t he
I’ve only ever watched Andy Cohen on the CNN NYEs and I assumed this dude ran on cocaine
I assumed he was blacked out during that cause he had that brain dead, Shark eye blank stare. After seeing more clips of him over the years, that’s just him. Never seems like there’s a whole lot going on up there.
I didn't watch this year but I did last year and holy shit, he was zoooted out of his mind lmao
My favorite was Anderson cooper at this previous years one Dude was on some good shit
And you can tell so many of the housewives are cokes up especially the ones in NY and Beverly Hills.
He literally looks like cocaine wearing a suit
He’s definitely blown rails with John Mayer while spun out after dead and co. I guarantee it.
JM got blown. Andy got railed. It was a good night no matter how you look at it.
Hey buddy, don’t threaten me with a good time!
Yeah, I'm just stunned. What an earth-shaking scandal. So, anyway...
Celebrities? Doing cocaine??? Groundbreaking.
Came here to say this (high five)
Right? Is anyone shocked by this “bombshell”
Lol my reaction exactly. Is this supposed to “smear” Andy Cohen? I mean, try harder.
This is really going to impact his journalistic credibility...
Ikr. I came here to say that I would too if i were in his job, there were so many manufactured party times on his shows, why not do some blow. I mean I wouldn't because I have an addictive personality but if not for that I would.
It’s the polite thing to do. 🤷♀️

Didn't he call AC a pass around party bottom? I'm assuming these things are somehow related....
Which AC?
I meant Anderson Cooper
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
"Bombshell" lol
Gay rich entertainer does cocaine… news at 11
How dare he not film it, imagine the drama.
Right? That’s the real shame of it all

Kathy Griffin called him out on this years ago.
What did she say?
https://pagesix.com/2024/02/28/entertainment/kathy-griffin-claimed-andy-cohen-offered-her-cocaine-years-before-leah-mcsweeney-lawsuit/
Why she snitchin for dude just bein cool
She’s still hurt he got her New Year’s Eve gig.
Right? If you don’t want to partake; just pass…
And I'd bet she did cocaine with Andy Dick back in the 80s.
Nope she’s legit sober af in general. She rarely even drinks.
https://www.thelist.com/476745/kathy-griffin-shares-intimate-details-about-her-drug-addiction-and-mental-health/
Prescription drugs after the Trump drama. Prior to that she didn’t do anything.
Poor Kathy, thoughts and prayers.
Wow, I had no idea! Thanks
What a nerd /s
She's "calls' out everyone because she isn't funny or slightly relevant. She never was..always fourth tier celebrity.
You can’t say she isn’t right about Andy. He’s a spoiled brat and cartoonishly elitist.
Someone wasn’t invited to the slopes!
Exactly and now she's calling the cops on the house party.
But when NeNe Leaks said this and that he treats the girls differently and has favorites. No one believed her.
She’s totally right, it’s been obvious Andy has had his favorites from Day 1 and his favorites were the mean girls (Bethany, Ramona, Vicky, etc.).
I couldn’t imagine watching New York and thinking Bethany and Ramona were the mean ones 😭
Ramona though?
Insert NeNe painting the hat gif
Did she file a lawsuit?
Gimme a break. Andy told Anderson they were doing drugs on new years live on air. Of course Andy is doing blow with housewives. Big whoop 🥱
Wtf did I just read
File this one under Duh
No one has ever looked like more of a coke at parties guy than Andy Cohen.
“Were people doing Coke in the bathroom?“ yes.
This is a bombshell? This sounds like a kid tattling.
The bit about another exec routinely sending photos of their genitals to their underlings is probably more interesting
Was the editor on cocaine when they wrote the headline? They didn’t include that part?
Water is wet. Look up his blind items.. it’s been a thing for years he pressures Watch What Happens Live guests to rip lines with him … *allegedly*
Deadheads and rich socialites do drugs? Absolutely shocking.
I hope he quits, for his children’s sake. Fentanyl is laced in everything these days and people are dropping like flies from it.
There’s literally nothing surprising about that title.
I'd give my left testicle for the behind the scenes footage of this.
Mad she didn’t get any?
Exactly what I thought.
Exactly what I thought.
Oh no. What’s going to happen?????
I forgot doing cocaine was illegal for a minute
Yeah, who cares. God bless.
Not gonna lie, I totally believe it haha
Oh this dude loves cocaine and being sketchy.
Does Anderson Cooper ⛷️ too? He seems so clean cut but he’s also Andy Cohen’s BFF.
If only this article wasn’t written by Leah’s friend 😭😭😭
So fucking what?
This is supposed to make me like him less?
I mean….. This is news?
This affects literally no one. 
Andy Cohen has a normal Tuesday
I didn't know what coterie was, and now I'm even more confused because there is a diaper brand called Coterie.
Like yeah, we know, Leah! She went along with the drinking, she’s just mad she’s not getting that check anymore
And? Good for him
Bravo seems to target housewives who already have issues and capitalize on those issues. I do believe there is some truth to these claims.
Good for him...who cares.
Is he being sued because he didn’t share
Rich Hollywood producer does cocaine! What a bombshell of a story
Adult does adult things millions of adults do everyday who are fine, breaking news!
Who is even remotely suprised by this honestly?
Upvote for coterie
I mean isnt that a perk of the job?
Kathy Griffin brought up these allegations when Andy blacklisted her. Other people have hinted at these same things years back. Andy is , in my opinion only, a child.

I really think that whatever he is holding over the heads of everyone that keeps acting like he owns the airwaves needs to come clean and relieve us all of his presence. LOL.
Not surprised, Kathy Griffin warned about this guy
Yeah that’s why we watch.
Why is this a “bombshell”
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the ridiculousness that is this actual headline?!?!
I don’t watch Andy Cohen in spite of his cocaine use, I watch him because of his cocaine use (allegedly)
I don’t see anything wrong with this other than we didn’t get to watch.
[удалено]
Let me sit down to process this news..the room is spinning.
And grass is green….
This is probably the least surprising thing about Andy.
What is the lawsuit even for?
Someone doing coke in the entertainment business is not a "bombshell" reveal.
Okay. I wipe my ass with my right hand, cool beans
Wow! What a fucking stupid revelation!
Wait until YOUR child starts using drugs… all statistics become meaningless
We all knew andy cohen was trash. Surprised it lasted this long
This is shocking how?
Non-story at 5:00 I mean the sexual predation stuff (against someone else) is serious, but I don't see why you include the use of drugs and alcohol in a lawsuit. I'm also not a lawyer, so maybe it's just there to help paint a picture?
Sources from Vegas at the radio show right now are telling me that Sirius execs are on pvt lockdown to discuss a leaked vid of AC doing snow with HWs.
Is the lawsuit the bombshell or is Leah? Who writes this shit
What, did Leah McSweeney not get in on the cocaine…?
Was anybody doubting cocaine usage among “housewives?”
Bombshell? Wasn’t he the one joking about pass around party bottoms on CNN’s NYE broadcast?
Bombshell? Wasn’t he the one joking about pass around party bottoms on CNN’s NYE broadcast?
And Anderson Cooper
News flash: who gives a fuck?
Well good for them. I could personally care fucking less
Sued for having fun?
But when NeNe Leaks said this and that he treats the girls differently and has favorites. No one believed her.

Uh, yeah? lol who’s mad at this?
Wow. Tv big shot does drugs with obvious addicts. News at 11
I’m sure there’s some truth to it, but I think he prob stopped before having his kids.
Oh wow he did drugs.. my gosh what a horrible human..lmao
What’s wrong with people enjoying cocaine?
This just in, rich people doing rich people stuff. Does anyone else find this not very interesting ?
What's the issue?
Big deal, total non story
Big deal. If I was younger, I would still be doing blow also.
Can we generate a bunch of faux outrage to get him tf off my television
Can’t blame him honestly
Roll the tape Andy!
Circus that is American “culture.” Pretty sure we are meant to engage willingly in our degradation as a species.
I like him more lol

Good for her. Fuk that. No more standing for that type of behavior at the work place. This is not the 80s. I am not surprised at all though.
Bombshell? Are they referring to the fugly chic pictured?
Uh sounds like ppl just trying to be gay. Everyone should feel pretty and witty and gay
Oh so pretty
This makes Andy Cohen sound pretty metal and I’m here for it
I’d be more disappointed if he didn’t
So he’s having fun! Good for him
That’s sound like a great time honestly
