Brandi Glanville reacts to reports RHUGT: Morocco won’t air while slamming producers for destroying her reputation over Caroline Manzo drama.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville went on a massive Twitter rant after a new report claimed that “it’s highly likely that we’ll never see RHUGT with Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville.“
As Bravo fans know, Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Caroline Manzo alleged that Brandi Glanville inappropriately touched her and coerced her into a kiss. The incident took place during filming but was not caught on camera. The women were miked, so the incident was recorded. The audio of the incident has yet to be released, but Brandi Glanville has maintained her innocence.
The article by Collider notes that one reason RHUGT: Morocco may never air is because Marco Vega, the butler from season two of RHUGT, is suing Bravo, Peacock, and NBCUniversal.
In his lawsuit, Vega claims that “Ms. Glanville, who was on [Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip] in the Berkshires, sexually harassed and abused him.”
Vega also claims that RHUGT producers encouraged the women’s excessive drinking and bad behavior. He also says producers did nothing to protect him from the sexual advances made by the ladies.
Another reason that RHUGT: Morocco might not air is because the footage could be used against the network in Vega’s lawsuit.
The article also notes that Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip RHONY: Legacy replaced Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco while mentioning that this is all happening amid Bethenny Frankel‘s ongoing war against Bravo. The Real Housewives of New York OG has created a laundry list of Bravo’s dirty deeds to get other Real Housewives and reality TV stars on board with her plan to unionize and take on Bravo.
All of this leads many to believe that Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco will NEVER air. It’s important to note that Andy Cohen said at BravoCon that the Morocco installment will air.
Of course, the speculation that Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco might not air is upsetting Brandi Glanville, whose reputation and career are being destroyed amid the sexual harassment accusations against her.
Over the weekend, Brandi took to Twitter to vent her frustrations while also calling out RHUGT producers for encouraging the cast to drink.
Brandi tweeted:
“This is character assassination. I am fucking innocent Producer told Marco to dance. JP 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.”
“I am completely innocent; the producers ask you to do something. And then you get in trouble for it!!!! The producers need to follow the rules!” she continued.
The RHOBH alum went on to say that she refused to “participate” in flirting with the RHUGT’s butler in Morocco.
“Our butler in Morocco was told to flirt with me specifically. I asked him if he had a girlfriend, [and] he said yes. I told him not to do it, and I did not participate. He was lovely. I didn’t want his life ruined!”
She then accused producers of encouraging excessive drinking even when it may be “illegal” to drink.
“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!” Brandi tweeted, adding, “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.”
To back up her claims, she shared a text message from one producer that read:
“You, Vicki [Gunvalson], and Eva [Marcille] should pull Phaedra [Parks] aside to talk about your drinking game set up for today while at the spice market,” someone allegedly texted Brandi on Jan. 24, 2023, at 4:28 a.m.
To conclude, Brandi made it clear that she’s “not going down” without a fight. She noted that “producers need to be held accountable” and that “the truth always comes out.”
“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 Marco’s lawyer is!!! Check it out. These producers need to be held accountable,” Brandi shared. “And even though I may like some of these producers, I’m not taking them off for them, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s time to fight back; the truth always comes out.”
RHUGT: RHONY Legacy is currently available on Peacock.
