Brandi Glanville has felt completely abandoned by Bravo in Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit over sexual assault.

But she’s supported by her cast members.

The immense stress and the emotional turmoil she’s under because of the lawsuit have caused physical plagues for her.

In October she collapsed in her home and her son had to call 911. Her lips and face have also swollen up, accompanied by anaphylactic shock.

She’s in pain, and it must probably hurt immensely that Bravo, Peacock or Andy Cohen isn’t speaking up for her in this case.

She has been cancelled, written off and forgotten. But Vicki Gunvalson has spoken up on her behalf.

On social media she posted that “The truth always prevails.”

Vicki and Brandi were like oil and vinegar on Ex-Wives Club, so I didn’t expect that she would take Brandi’s side in this lawsuit.

Maybe they’ve grown closer as they know that they created great entertainment in RHUGT2.

But Vicki isn’t the only one who’s supporting Brandi during this lawsuit. On Instagram Camille Grammer posted this:

“We all think Caroline has gone too far with this lawsuit. I wasn’t in the bathroom when the so-called alleged event happened. What I did see was the two ladies laughing and getting along.”

She also reposted a tweet that said that Peacock is tabling RHUGT4 because of the lawsuit with the short comment: “This stinks.”

That’s a pretty strong statement from Camille. It implies that the other women on the show doesn’t agree with Caroline’s accusations.

Gretchen Rossi has also stated that she wishes that the show would air, but it will never see the time of day. It’s over for RHUGT4.

In the Vanity Fair article about Bethenny Frankel’s Reality Reckoning, Brandi shared that she and Caroline never were alone in the bathroom.

Phaedra Parks was sober that day and was with them when Brandi had kissed Caroline.

And according to her, that was “nothing short of a modern-day Harlequin Romance…. Love was winning.”

The Ultimate Girls Trip to Morrocco was supposed to air before RHONY Legacy.

But Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo has put a stop to that.

Caroline filed a lawsuit against Bravo and NBCUniversal over allegations of sexual harassment that happened while filming RHUGT4 in Morrocco.

According to Caroline, Brandi Glanville had “forcibly kissed her, groped her vagina and breasts, and held her down on a couch while humping her”.

And Bravo had allowed this to happened. She argues that the producers serve the women a lot of alcohol and encourage them to do outrageous things.

Last year a source had told People that Brandi had made advances on Caroline that was unwanted:

“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.”

Caroline experienced sexual assault in her childhood and argued that the incident with Brandi awoken dormant memories and trauma.

It was reported that the producers had sent Brandi home from Morrocco early because Caroline was troubled by her experience with her.

Brandi’s response to the allegations in Page Six made it seem like she’s trying to shift the blame:

“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. 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 or Bravo.”

“Brandi followed what the producers asked of her.” She had been asked back after the success with The Ultimate Girls Trip and The Ex-Wives.

But were they pushing the line for shock value? I highly doubt that.

Brandi is known for drinking heavily, being overly flirtatious and sexual. She’s also known for taking things too far.

But could she do the things she has been accused of?

Caroline, who was playing with the thought of returning to RHONJ one day, now proclaims that she will never film a Housewives show again after this experience.

Scary Island, Scrambled eggs á la Francaise, the promise of the pirate, and Bethenny Frankel.

We’re going down memory lane in this episode.

Dorinda Medley trying to figure out the labyrinth of a room she’s got on this villa is an entertainment on its own.

It’s a very futuristic looking room…

Dorinda is one of my favourites on RHONY, and it was a shame she became so angry at the end.

She was angry during RHUGT2 also when she was the hostess!

And she did overreact with Kristen Taekman over the word “pause”.

She’s overly sensitive to getting fired from RHONY, but she will never admit that.

But there’s undoubtedly an entertaining side to Dorida.

Seeing her trapped in her room or being understanding with Kelly Bensimon and a great friend to Sonja Morgan.

Sonja is not living in New York anymore, and when she needed a place to stay, Dorinda offered her the apartment for a month.

And Sonja moved into her bedroom with her dog Marley and her interns and everything! “Mrs. Morgan is sleeping right now.”

Being friends with Sonja, every day must be an adventure. That story made me laugh so much.

But the women didn’t like that Sonja was still in contact with Bethenny!

It might be because the women felt like she’s ghosting them most of the time and were offended that she had time for Bethenny and not them.

But Sonja said that she loved them more because they didn’t have ulterior motives.

Is she talking about people in general or is she talking about Bethenny?

They hate Bethenny. I never really understood their hatred towards her.

Especially Luann de Lesseps, after the way Bethenny supported her through her sobriety.

Is she taking a stand because of Bethenny’s Reality Reckoning?

Sonja tried to talk to Kelly about “Scary Island”, but Kelly wasn’t that excited about it.

She said she broke up with her boyfriend after that episode aired because she didn’t want him to be known as the boyfriend of “Crazy Kelly”.

Kristen Taekman is really brave to return to the lion’s den without a safety net.

And Dorinda Medley wasted no time sinking her teeth in her.

If there’s one word Dorinda likes to use, it’s “pause”.

She was put on pause by Andy Cohen in 2020. She wasn’t fired. She was put on pause.

I understand that Dorinda doesn’t want to feel disrespected, but the way she loose her shit every time someone tries to imply that she was fired, reeks of insecurity.

The more she reacts, the more ridiculous she looks.

I thought since she was not the hostess this season, we would get to see a more relaxed and composed, but she lost her shit within the first day…

I’m still happy to see her again, though.

I’m happy to see Luann de Lesseps again and hear her speaking French to every person she meets.

I’m happy to see Sonja Morgan again.

I’m not excited to see Ramona Singer again.

She was making a scene with the room assigning, again. She was screaming for the women to start eating.

And it’s just nails down the chalkboard.

I don’t understand how Bravo and Peacock can find her to be such good TV. She’s insufferable!

Kristen was waiting for the other shoe to drop to see Jekyll and Hyde with Ramona, and she didn’t have to wait long.

Kristen never really fit in with this group. She’s friends with Brandi Glanville, randomly enough.

But she clearly wasn’t the first pick for this trip.

Tinsley Mortimer was supposed to join the women on the trip to St. Barths.

Tinsley would’ve made more sense than Kristen because it’s been 8 years since she was on RHONY.

Tinsley has got a deeper relationship with these women.

Ramona didn’t even remember that Dorinda and Kristen were on the same season together – and neither could I!

And the way she kept on quizzing the women about their time on RHONY was over the top.

Brandi, Brandi, Brandi… What have you done now?!

Rumors has been going around like crazy after it was announced that Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo left the trip to Morocco earlier than planned.

I didn’t pay much attention, because I remember the rumors about how Leah McSweeney was thrown out of Thailand for throwing elephant poop.

We still haven’t seen RHUGT3 though and we’re already getting crazy rumors about RHUGT4!

And Carlos King was laughing about it on his YouTube channel, and he supposedly knows other producers, so how serious could it be, I thought.

But then statements were starting to drop, and then I had to start listening to the rumors.

According to Page Six Brandi has allegedly kissed and touched Caroline inappropriately and against her will, and Peacock released a statement through People Magazine to address the situation:

“The safety and security of cast and crew while shooting is extremely important, and we take all reports seriously. […] In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action.”

In the Page Six article they write that the incident wasn’t filmed since it had happened in a locked bathroom, but their mics had been on, and the crew had found the audio “disturbing”.

According to People’s sources Brandi was asked to leave by production, while Caroline decided to end filming and leave early too.

Brandi is known to be drinking a lot, be overly flirty and sexual. She’s known to be taking things too far, but at the same time she’s highly sensitive to things.

I can’t imagine what possessed her to do something like this to another woman. Brandi on the other hand tweeted this:

She’s asking us to check our sources, but it’s People Magazine, and Page Six names Alex McCord as one of the women who were present for the incident.

Was it a joke taken too far? She’s known to do that too. But no means no, no matter the intent.

We haven’t even gotten to see RHUGT3 yet, and we’re already getting a confirmation on the cast for RHUGT4! And it’s going to be insane!

The Ex-Wives are reuniting for RHUGT4.

More specifically Brandi Glanville, Eva Marcille, Phaedra Parks, and Vicki Gunvalson are returning alongside other ex-wives like Alex McCord, Camille Grammer, Caroline Manzo and Gretchen Rossi!

What an amazing cast!

It also feels like a victory for the Ex-Wives. I thought The Ex-Wives Club was way more entertaining and rewatchable than the first season with the All-Stars.

That Brandi, Eva, Phaedra and Vicki are called back for another round, and finally gets to go on a proper girls trip to Morocco, is great.

I’m so happy for them. Especially Vicki, she was so miserable at the Bluestone Manor.

But I’m really excited about seeing Alex again!

She was so delusional and had such a chaotic energy that she entertained and provoked greatly in the early seasons of RHONY.

And kudos for her daring to return to Morocco with her Herman Munster… I mean, very loud Luis Vuitton shoes, after Luann de Lesseps nearly fell of the infamous camel ride.

Dare we hope that this trip to Morocco will be just as memorable as RHONY’s girls trip?

Camille and Caroline speak for themselves. They’re huge fan favorites and among the few names the fans want back on their shows, me included.

It’s going to be interesting to see them out of their comfort zones, especially how Camille and Brandi will get along.

They’ve had several feud on social media, but what else is new with these ladies?

And then there is Gretchen… I never liked Gretchen, nor her partner Slade Smiley… 

Sleaziest man in Real Housewives history. He has got to be at the very top of the most unlikable husbands ever in this franchise.

They were the most obnoxious couple ever and I’ve not missed them for one second on RHOC.
