(NewsNation) — A former “Project Runway” contestant has accused Andy Cohen of being a “predator” in the same vein as Harvey Weinstein in an Instagram video.

Kenley Collins, who starred on the show during its fifth season, posted a video Aug. 2 calling out the “Watch What Happens Live” host, who served as an executive producer of the hit fashion show when it first aired on Bravo and was produced by Weinstein.  

“Do you guys really think Harvey Weinstein was the worst one on set? Andy Cohen was,” Collins said in her video.

“Andy Cohen was disgusting, horrible, worst, predator with the gays, hopping around the set like, ‘Hey Twinks!’” Collins claims in her video.  

Collins, who appeared on the reality TV competition show in 2008 and was a contestant on “Project Runway All Stars” in 2012, said that the host was “propositioning designers to have a threesome.”

“We called you ‘The Gay Weinstein,’ acting like a f—— clown on set,” Collins said in her video.  

She also called Cohen a racist and alleged that NBC has paid money to protect him.  

Collins referenced former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Nene Leakes, who claimed that Cohen has created a hostile workplace.  

Leakes had sued Cohen, NBCUniversal and RHOA production companies in April 2022 for fostering “a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,” according to a lawsuit obtained by People magazine.  

Leakes dismissed her lawsuit in August 2022.  

Pride, which reported the news, reached out to Cohen, but he did not immediately respond to the outlet for comment.
