Leah McSweeney, an American fashion designer, has criticized Andy Cohen, a television personality, for spreading conspiracy theories about Kate Middleton‘s recent absence from public appearances. This criticism comes after the Princess of Wales revealed she is battling cancer.

On March 22nd, 2024, McSweeney took to her Instagram stories to express her disapproval of Cohen’s actions. The 41-year-old designer called him “cruel to women” and stated her hope that “after she was forced to publicly talk about her cancer diagnosis he will muster up the decency to apologize to her.”
McSweeney’s criticism extends beyond social media. She is currently suing Cohen for discrimination and retaliation, though the details of the lawsuit are not mentioned in the report.

McSweeney Advocates for Middleton’s Privacy
McSweeney has been a vocal advocate for Middleton’s privacy throughout this ordeal. She posted a picture of the Princess on her Instagram with the caption, “Please leave this woman alone everybody.” She further emphasized Middleton’s humanity, stating, “Yes she is a princess but she’s also a human being. Have we not learned anything by now? Has social media destroyed empathy?”
McSweeney Criticizes Public Behavior
