Bravo has closed its outside investigation into Andy Cohen following a string of misconduct allegations.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE, a spokesperson for the network wrote: “The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated.”

Cohen's talk show Watch What Happens Live, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, has also been renewed through 2025.

The news comes amid Bravo's decision to renew 15 of its unscripted reality shows, including the latest Vanderpump Rules spinoff, The Valley.

Bravo also renewed Summer House, Married to Medicine, Top Chef, Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, Below Deck, and a slew Real Housewives shows including Beverly Hills, Orange County, Miami, New York City, Potomac and Salt Lake City.

Cohen, 55, has been the subject of various allegations of inappropriate conduct by former Bravo stars, including Brandi Glanville, Bethenny Frankel, NeNe Leakes and Leah McSweeney. The Bravo mogul has been accused of sexual harrassment, discrimination and creating an environment where reality stars are pressured to drink alcohol and take other drugs for "favorable treatment and edits."

On May 8, Cohen told The Hollywood Reporter that the claims were "hurtful" while speaking out about the allegations he's faced as of late.

“Obviously, it’s no fun to be a target,” he said. “But I have no regrets about the way I’ve handled anything. I think everything that happens in your life informs the next thing that happens in your life. That’s the way I look at all this. I know what the truth is and I know how I’ve conducted myself, and I walk tall every day on that.”
