Leah McSweeney Facts
- One of the key sources of finance, when Leah had launched the streetwear line Married to the Mob in 2004, was rather unusual – the New York Police Department. She had successfully sued them for USD 75k after she had sustained injuries when she was involved in a physical altercation with members of the force.
- In 2015, she had been featured as a recurring star on the Lip Service podcast that was broadcast on the urban-contemporary radio station Power 105.1. A year later, she had co-founded the Improper Etiquette podcast on the Hot 97 radio station to share perspectives on lifestyle and current issues with occasional celebrity interviews.
- She has been a regular contributor to the online publication Hypebeast, where she has written on topics such as wellness, fashion, and motherhood. She has also penned advice columns for Penthouse magazine.
- Leah has suffered from Bipolar II Disorder, a less severe form of bipolar disorder characterized by hypomanic episodes, for the longest time. She has often talked about her experience on podcasts and has been pivotal in raising awareness about mental health issues.
- In February 2024, Leah filed a lawsuit against Andy Cohen, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, and Warner Bros. Discovery accusing them of intentionally planning scenarios to create morbidly salacious reality television. She also claimed that Andy intentionally used cocaine with his employees in order to promote a workplace culture involving drug and alcohol abuse.
