Audiences first met Brandi Glanville on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and since then, she has not left the headlines. The former model found tabloid fame after her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, had an affair with country singer Leann Rimes (and Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay).
She then hit the headlines for various feuds with fellow Houseives (like fighting with Lisa Vanderpump, revealing co-star Adrienne Maloof used a surrogate, and claiming she had an affair with Denise Richards). Although Bravo made her a household name, she has spent recent years feuding with the network and Executive Producer, Andy Cohen.
In January 2023, Brandi was sent home from filming The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, which started another feud with Bravo and NBC. PEOPLE reported that Brandi and The Real Housewives New Jersey’s Caroline Manzo were filming in Marrakech, Morocco for the second season of the Peacock franchise when Brandi allegedly took things too far with Caroline during a party. Because of the assault claims, the show never aired.
Inside Brandi Glanville’s Lawsuits Against Bravo
In 2023, Brandi Glanville’s attorneys sent a letter to the producers of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, threatening a lawsuit and accusing Andy Cohen of sexual harassment.
In the eight-page letter, reported by Business Insider, the reality TV star’s lawyers claim that an “obviously inebriated” Andy sent Brandi a video in 2022 talking about “his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via FaceTime.”

Andy responded to the report in a post on X, explaining that the video Brandi mentioned was him and Below Deck star Kate Chastain joking. “It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke.” He did, however, apologize for the joke’s inappropriateness.
- This lawsuit fell apart when Brandi’s relationship with her high-powered lawyers diminished.
- A source told Page Six that Brandi ran out of money, and the legal team ultimately believed she “didn’t have a case.”
Since her lawsuit against Andy, Page Six reported that Brandi has been named in two lawsuits for sexual harassment. Although the lawsuits are not against her, they do allegedly accuse Bravo and their employers of encouraging the RHOBH alum to harass her co-stars.
Andy Cohen strenuously denied any wrongdoing, and Bravo told

that an investigation had cleared him of wrongdoing.
Since Brandi Glanville’s lawsuit against Bravo, she can’t stop commenting on other Housewives and their struggles.
Brandi blasted the franchise and network shortly after Kenya Moore was fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. On X, she wrote, “Women are physically fighting on RHONJ & that seems to be ok with producers. Where is HR now? Also, I’m pretty sure producers pushed Kenya to show that video.”
According to Collider, she also made shocking allegations regarding Taylor Armstrong, with whom she appeared alongside for two seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Taylor claimed she hid her late-husband Russell Armstrong’s abuse from the network, yet Brandi said otherwise.

All The Housewives Brandi Has Landed In Legal Issues With
Caroline Manzo – The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Caroline Manzo accused Brandi Glanville of sexual assault following the events she says took place while filming The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. Caroline filed a lawsuit against Bravo and its affiliated companies, which started Brandi’s feud with Bravo.
“When Glanville was sexually assaulting me on the sofa, she was rubbing her v—-a on me,” Manzo alleged in the affidavit seen by PEOPLE. “The producers just watched and kept filming. They saw that I was in distress and yet, they continued to film.”
The former The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum claimed that the reality show’s producers “did not separate Glanville from me” but “continued to feed her alcohol” and “allowed” her to follow Caroline into the bathroom, where she alleges she was assaulted for a second time.
- According to Brandi — who denies all of Caroline’s claims — the allegations have destroyed her career and income.
The paperwork alleges:
- Brandi threw Caroline against a wall as Caroline tried to escape the bathroom before touching her intimately.
- The producers saw her “trying to escape but did not help.”
- Caroline believes Brandi “maliciously sexually assaulted me for her own sexual gratification.”
- Caroline alleges that producers told her not to mention the incident.
- The RHONJ star added that the incident caused her to suffer from “anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress.”
- Brandi denies the claims. Reality Blurb shared that Brandi posted a video of RHOC’s Tamra Judge air-thrusting against Taylor Armstrong on a prior Girls Trip season, as well as the clip of Tamra giving Jill Zarin a lapdance, claiming both were worse than what happened in Morroco.
Adrienne Maloof – The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Adrienne Maloof quit RHOBH after Brandi revealed on camera that she had used a surrogate to conceive her twins, as reported by ScreenRant. The problem was that Adrienne hadn’t told the six-year-olds Colin and Christian Nassif about the situation, so she was upset when Brandi revealed the information on camera. After learning about what Brandi did, Adrienne sent a cease and desist.
While it did not go any further legally, Adrienne revealed in a 2014 interview that she partially blames Brandi for her divorce from Paul Nassif. In 2019, Brandi accused Lisa Vanderpump of being the mastermind behind it, claiming she was manipulated into saying it in front of the cameras.
Joanna Krupa – The Real Housewives of Miami
Brandi Glanville and The Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa were embroiled in a long-running lawsuit, which was finally settled in 2015.
PEOPLE reported that Joanna sued Brandi for slander in January 2015 after the RHOBH star made personal comments about Joanna on the November 2013 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
The paperwork claims Brandi “knowingly made false and malicious statement that Mrs. Krupa had sexual relations with Mohamed Hadid while Mr. Hadid was in an intact marriage to Yolanda Foster.” Brandi also made offensive comments about the Polish model’s private parts when appearing on the Bravo chat show.
Brandi apologized for the statements she made about the ex-housewife. “I regret ever making such statements about Joanna Krupa; I also certainly never intended my statements to be taken so seriously and out of proportion,” she wrote. “I apologize, as I never wanted my statements to affect Joanna Krupa’s reputation, and I wish her nothing but continued success in life.”
Here’s Why Brandi Glanville Blames Bravo For Her Health Issues
Brandi Glanville has allegedly been plagued with illness in recent years. In July 2024, Reality Blurb shared that Brandi blamed Bravo for causing her stress, which had stopped her from earning a living.
“This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress-induced angioedema,” she wrote on X. She added that she had been unable to make podcasts or cameos due to her health struggles.
At the end of 2024, Brandi posted a concerning photo of a facial disfigurement. She claimed the disfigurement was a parasite that she believed stemmed from her time on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
The reality TV star explained she had spent upwards of $70K trying to fix it and told her followers, “This is 100 times worse than anything that happened in Morocco and my life has been ruined for no reason I’ve spent all of my money on Dr.! My health is ruined. My looks are ruined AND I was rehired because of this behavior for the Morocco girls trip.”
Six months after I got back from Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing. It started in July and we’re still here trying to figure it out.
