Brandi Glanville FIRED After Sexually Assaulting Caroline Manzo On ‘RHUGT’
Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo made early exits from a trip being filmed for Season 4 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, PEOPLE reports.
Insiders dished that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Real Housewives of New Jersey alums were filming in Marrakech, Morocco last week, when Brandi crossed a line with Caroline during a party. The controversial Bravo personality reportedly kissed Caroline multiple times without her consent, during the filmed bash.
“It was unwanted,” a snitch told the outlet. “And Caroline’s distress over the matter did not seem to stop Brandi. Things escalated and physical boundaries allegedly were crossed that Caroline felt were serious and uncomfortable.”
Producers reportedly made the decision to report the incident to their superiors. A second tipster spilled that when Brandi heard that Caroline was upset over the ordeal, she apologized via a text message. Brandi was removed from the trip that afternoon, without Caroline’s knowledge.
“Brandi’s behavior was inappropriate,” a third source said. “So she was asked to leave.”
Caroline made her own decision to leave the show early, later that evening.
“She needed to process this outside of the reality TV environment,” the first source said.
Cast members, Vicki Gunvalson, Eva Marcille, Phaedra Parks, Camille Meyer, Alex McCord, and Gretchen Rossi all purportedly supported Caroline’s decision to leave ahead of schedule, as did producers. Filming resumed and wrapped on Saturday night.
Brandi took to Instagram to share a pic of a camel, presumably snapped during the trip.
“Bon Soir Morocco,” she wrote, adding three heart emojis and the Arabic word for thank you, “SHUKRAN.”
Caroline has not appeared in a reality TV spotlight since 2016, when her spinoff series, Manzo’d with Children, starring her husband, Al, and their three kids, Albie, 36, Lauren, 34, and Chris, 33, ended its run. She previously starred on RHONJ for five seasons.
Brandi has enjoyed appearances on various reality shows since leaving RHOBH in 2015. She has appeared on Celebrity Apprentice, Celebrity Big Brother, Famously Single, My Kitchen Rules, and most recently, Peacock series, The Traitors.
In December, Brandi sparked chatter when she teased a potential return to RHOBH, amid circulating Season 13 casting rumors.
The Bravo alum took to Twitter the day after Christmas to post a cryptic video that seemingly pointed to a potential comeback. The mom of two hid a mystery “Christmas present” in her left hand before revealing a crystal/diamond.
Brandi captioned the vid—“I love this Christmas present.”
Season 3 of RHUGT, which will feature RHONY’s Leah McSweeney, Potomac stars, Gizelle Bryant and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City duo, Heather Gay and Whitney Rose, RHOA alum, Porsha Williams, and Miami cast members, Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton, filmed in Thailand and is expected to premiere later this year.
