ANDY Cohen has promoted a new project outside of Bravo after he came under fire in multiple lawsuits filed against him.

Andy, 55, was seen at an exclusive Fresca Mixed event in New York City on May 23 to promote his partnership with the ready-to-drink cocktail brand.

An eyewitness told The U.S. Sun that the Watch What Happens Live host took selfies and photos with fans at a private room in the back of Swingers, an indoor mini golf club.

He was joined by Summer House star Jesse Solomon as he made a speech about loving the canned drinks and served them to fans from behind the bar.

He also played a game of "Would You Rather?" with Jesse and a fan, making them choose between his pals John Mayer and Anderson Cooper, Real Housewives of New York City's Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Denise Richards and Kyle Richards.

Per the eyewitness, he asked them, "Would you rather be a flower boy or girl at your best friend's wedding or be blocked by Jax Taylor?"

Jesse said he would rather be blocked by The Valley star.

As Andy spent some time with fans, he was overheard talking about Vanderpump Rules to a fan who was eager to know what was going on amid rumors that the show could be done for good.

After a fan asked Andy, "What's going on with Vanderpump Rules?" he replied, "They're taking a break," and confirmed, "They'll be back."

He was also asked, "Is Ariana Madix going to be returning?" to which he responded, "I hope so."

It was previously reported that filming for VPR Season 12 has been put on pause and will not be filming this summer.

Production for a new season usually films from May through July.

A source, however, told The U.S. Sun that filming is expected to resume after summer, although no specific timeline was given.

The reason why is reportedly because production is giving the cast a break to do their own thing and then, hopefully, by the time filming picks up again there will be "some big developments and new drama."

Fans believe Ariana hinted that she won't be returning after removing VPR from her Instagram profile and promoting upcoming projects outside of Bravo.

CLEARED OF CLAIMS

The "Put It On Andy's Tab" event was the first of many exclusive events for the Fresca Mixed Club, which gives fans VIP access to perks and events all year round.

However, it got bumped and RHUGT: RHONY Legacy aired in December 2023 via Peacock instead.

While no announcements have been made on whether it will see the light of day, both Brandi and Gretchen exclusively told The U.S. Sun that they are pushing for it to premiere amid Caroline's lawsuit.
