Brandi Glanville is breaking her silence on what allegedly went down during Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
According to an allegation, she inappropriately touched her co-star, Caroline Manzo. But as the internet exploded with speculation, the podcast host was mysteriously mum. She later suggested that someone at the network told her not to speak — though her reputation was disintegrating before her eyes.
Now, the 51-year-old is addressing her season with Caroline and a lawsuit from Marco Vega, a butler who also accused Brandi of sexual harassment while castmates were dancing.
In a December 16 tweet, Brandi reacted to a Collider report that her season with Caroline may not air.
“This is character assassination. I am f**king innocent,” wrote Brandi. “[A] producer told Marco to dance … they had pretty sure told me to rip his shirt off. That is the only time I had interaction with Marco — I was doing what I was told.”
“Our butler in Morocco was told to flirt with me specifically, I asked him if he had a girlfriend he said yes, and I told him not to do it, and I did not participate,” she went on. “He was lovely I didn’t want his life ruined!”

She then called out the alleged hypocrisy of producers’ behavior.
“The producers ask you to do something. And then you get in trouble for it,” she wrote. “The producers need to follow the rules.”
Though Brandi said production never forced her to drink alcohol, they allegedly “encourage[d]” it.
“Producers may not shove the alcohol down our throats, but they sure do encourage it even in Morocco during the day where it’s illegal to drink,” she said. “It is completely illegal to walk around a spice market and the shopping areas in Morocco with water bottles filled with vodka. There are designated places that you are allowed to drink and it’s mostly at night.”

Brandi then said she’s no longer staying silent even though she likes certain producers.
“I’m not going down, just because people see me as an easy pyle on at the moment. All of the other women vouch for me! It’s interesting to see who Marcos lawyer is,” she said. “Check it out these producers need to be held accountable.”

“And this is just the tip of the iceberg,” she added. “It’s time to fight back.💕💪 The truth always comes out.”
