Brandi Glanville Sues Bravo Says She Was ‘Held Hostage’ On ‘Real Housewives’ Spin-Off, Now Is ‘Canceled From All Jobs’

Former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville has filed a lawsuit against Bravo, the network behind the popular reality TV franchise. 

Glanville’s announcement, made via social media, stems from her recent experience on the spin-off series The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

Glanville, a veteran of the Real Housewives franchise, claims that she was “held hostage in a hotel in Morocco for days!” after an incident with her co-star, Caroline Manzo. Manzo had previously accused Glanville of “unwanted kisses,” which led to their departure from the show in January 2023. Manzo later filed a lawsuit against the network, which alleged that Glanville had “forcibly fondled” her while employees stood idly by.

Glanville expressed her frustration in her social media posts and stated that she has been “canceled from all jobs” due to the “bad untrue press” surrounding the incident. The reality star also revealed that she has been struggling with depression and physical swelling as a result of the stress, which has rendered her unable to work on fan-driven platforms or even her own podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.

Glanville, who has had an extensive career in reality television and has appeared on shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, Famously Single, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars and various Real Housewives series, wrote, ” I’m being used as a fall guy.” 

This latest development follows a previous controversy that involved Glanville and Bravo host and producer Andy Cohen. In February, Glanville’s lawyers called for Cohen’s termination with accusations that he had sexually harassed the reality star in 2022. Cohen apologized for the incident, which he claimed was “very clearly joking.” The network ultimately found the claims to be “unsubstantiated.”

In January, Glanville revealed the strength she has found in her healing journey and expressed gratitude for the support she received from LeAnn Rimes, her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian’s wife.
