According to a rep for Brandi Glanville, she "had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her."

According to the legal documents filed by the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ alum, Glanville “proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo’s mouth, while humping her.”

Manzo also claims Glanville “forced her vagina” against her back.

The rep, however, is claiming that "while filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed, or Bravo."

Glanville's rep concluded with, "This painful storytelling seems endless and needs to stop. She is looking to move on and upward and get her life back."

The lawsuit filed by the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ alum also states, "Defendants, including Bravo, regularly ply the ‘Real Housewives’ cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings."

This is not the first time NBCUniversal and Bravo were accused of “grotesque and depraved mistreatment” of their reality stars as last year, attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos sent a letter to NBC’s counsel, Kimberley Harris, claiming the production company of “distributing and/or condoning the distribution of non-consensual pornography,” and calling out the “distribution of revenge p–n.”

“As you know, NBC has a pattern and practice of grotesque and depraved mistreatment of the reality stars and crewmembers on whose account its coffers swell,” the letter states before claiming NBC has “threatened [cast members] with ruin should they decide to speak out about their mistreatment.”

Manzo isn’t directly going after Glanville. Instead, she is suing Bravo, Peacock, and other production and showrunners for allegedly encouraging the “sexually offensive and harassing content.”

The ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ alum is suing for “negligence, sexual harassment, sex/gender discrimination, sexual battery, and other causes of action that she says violate state laws in California and New York,” per the docs.

The accusations made by Manzo says brought back “dormant and horrific memories” of her past sexual assault, which occurred when she was seven years old.

Bravo has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
