Caroline Manzo, Brandi Glanville, and Bravo are currently locked in a battle that recently went legal. Please be warned that alleged instances of sexual harassment are detailed in this report.
Season 4 of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip will likely never see the light of day because of alleged sexual harassment that is said to have occurred between Brandi and Caroline. When news of the incident first hit the Bravosphere, fans had no idea how to react. But as time passed, it became clear that this is no laughing matter.
A year after filming took place, Caroline has filed a lawsuit against Bravo for negligence, sexual harassment, sex/gender discrimination, and sexual battery. While Brandi isn’t being sued by Caroline, she is the focus of the lawsuit. Now, she’s responded.
Brandi claims producers encouraged rowdy behavior and denies sexual harassment claims
One of the statements in Caroline’s filing reads: “[Brandi] proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo’s mouth, while humping her.”
In a statement given to USA Today, Brandi’s rep replied to the news. They said, “Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her.”
“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault.”
They continued, “She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed (Media) or Bravo. This painful storytelling seems endless and needs to stop. She is looking to move on and upward and get her life back.”
Brandi is ready to move on
If you kept up with Brandi during her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you know she doesn’t bite her tongue, even when it’s probably to her benefit. Since the initial reports of the alleged assault hit the news, she’s spoken out about the accusations. Brandi has even been taking shots at both Caroline and production.
“I’m f–king sick of this narrative. I was hired for a 2nd season of girls trip cuz they LOVED what I did on 1st season I was told to bring the party just like before & that’s exactly what I did & I was punished for it,” she wrote in March 2023.
After the alleged incident in Morocco, Brandi was asked to leave the trip. She has since been placed on pause from her reality TV work. Shortly before filming began on this season of Ultimate Girls Trip, Brandi had just wrapped an epic first season of The Traitors. But, she had to sit out of the reunion due to the RHUGT scandal.
Today, she’s ready for the show to air so this can all be laid to rest.
“Can we PLEASE air this fu-king … show already it’s so I can be vindicated it’s been a year now! Please let me live and provide! This is INSANE!” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Let us all hope the truth comes to light in this matter.
