Caroline Manzo detailed the alleged sexual assault by Brandi Glanville on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip – and Brandi responded by accusing her co-star of “f**king lies,” and claimed Caroline had “buyers remorse” after having some “fun” during filming.
Caroline recently filed a lawsuit against the network, claiming production pushed Caroline to drink alcohol and encouraged her to sexually harass her. Brandi has denied the allegations, which reportedly caused the show to stop filming, and the episodes may never air.
A May 28 signed affidavit was recently obtained by Page Six, as Caroline described the alleged sexual assault. The star claimed Brandi “forcibly fondled” Caroline’s vagina, and producers filmed it.
“When Glanville was sexually assaulting me on the sofa, she was rubbing her vagina on me. The producers just watched and kept filming,” wrote Caroline. “They saw that I was in distress and yet, they continued to film.”
She said production did not “separate” Brandi from Caroline, and they “continued to feed” alcohol to Brandi, allowing her to follow Caroline into a bathroom where Brandi “threw” her against the door, which caused Caroline to hit her head.
Per the allegations, Brandi “locked me in the bathroom where she forcibly fondled my vagina against my will,” and producers “did not help” though they witnessed Caroline trying to escape.
“Glanville maliciously sexually assaulted me for her own sexual gratification,” said Caroline. “She did this by forcibly kissing me, rubbing her vagina on me and then fondling my vagina against my will.”
The alum said she asked production not to ask her questions about the alleged sexual assault in her “pickup” interviews in New York because she was “visibly suffering from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress from Glanville sexually assaulting me.”
But according to Caroline, production made her “relive the sexual assaults … to create more ‘drama’ in the interview for their own ratings and profit.”
Following the report, Brandi reacted on X.
“The Caroline BS has plagued me [for too] long,” she wrote on June 1. “Her accusations are false & defamatory! I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO attraction to her. I’ve done reality TV for 13 yrs & have never had a complaint. This is a simple case of buyers remorse. She had fun & now regrets it. THIS IS NONSENSE & I can prove it.”
In a separate post, she addressed the housing situation on the trip.
“The belly dancing party was in the main house. Caroline & [another castmate] stayed in the guest house in the backyard. If at any point … she felt uncomfortable she could walk 5 steps away into her own private house,” said Brandi. “ITS ALL F**KING LIES! IM SICK OF BEING A F**KING PUNCHING BAG F**K F**K F**K F**K.”
