Caroline Manzo is still trying to get past what happened to her while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
Caroline Manzo Finally Sharing The Truth
Manzo is ready to tell her truth after her "traumatic" experience while filming the Real Housewives spin-off. "This is very traumatic for me," Manzo said while appearing as a guest on "Two T's in a Pod" with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge.
Manzo insisted that she has zero intentions of ever returning to film another housewives-related anything. "This is a huge onion with many layers, and I guess it will play out." The awkward conversation began with Mellencamp reading Brandi Glanville's recent tweets defending herself.
"I can speak on anything I want to speak on-it was at the end of an 18 hour Wrk day at our belly dancing party & I'd like to see footage on it beforehand as both myself & Caroline were very intoxicated," wrote the mom of two.
Glanville has been accused of sexual assault against Manzo, and the allegations were so severe that Bravo had to launch an investigation.

Caroline Manzo Is Disappointed
Manzo revealed that Glanville's public statements "is disappointing to me. I don't want to talk too much because I'm going through a lot with it and processing it all." She also elaborated on why she will never return to the Bravo franchise again.
"For me to go back, it would have to be a number that was financially irresponsible to walk away from." Manzo is no stranger to a big paycheck and seemingly knows her value. "I've been offered a lot of money in the real world, but it was never worth it to me to return to that. So now, no."
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was initially ecstatic about returning to the franchise. She had "the highest of hopes to do something fun." Unfortunately, "it didn't work out for me that way," she recalls, confirming she "came home early."
"At this point, I just truly don't have the space in my head to talk about it, so I'd rather not, said Manzo, "But I would imagine it would unfold on the series when it airs, and there'll be a lot said then."
Caroline Manzo And Brandi Glanville Have Different Stories
The versions of stories coming out since news broke that something went down in Morocco have been vastly different. Glanville insists that Manzo was joking and laughing; they were both intoxicated, and ultimately, nothing happened.
Glanville even maintains that she is confused about why all this drama occurs. At the same time, Manzo and some other sources claim that a sexual assault took place with Glanville grabbing at Manzo inappropriately to the point where Manzo had to retreat to the washroom, where she allegedly locked herself in until she was rescued by production.
Both women aren't speaking out publicly but through PR teams and friends and shady tweets, which is why it's a big deal that Manzo appeared on a podcast.
Shed Media is the production company behind the RHUGT; when asked about the incident by People, they shared a general statement:
"The safety and security of cast and crew while shooting are paramount, and we take all reports seriously. In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action."
There is no release date for season 4, as RHUGT fans are still trying to make it through season three in Thailand.
