The drama between Brandi Glanville and Bravo isn't ending anytime soon, with threats of a new lawsuit.
The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star recently revealed her plans to sue the network for allegedly using her as their "fall guy" and causing her emotional distress.
This new lawsuit marks the second in Brandi Glanville's legal battle against Bravo after she sued one of its executive producers, Andy Cohen.
Brandi Glanville Says 'I've Been Left No Choice But To Sue Bravo'
Glanville expressed grievances against Bravo in a heated post on X, blaming them for the decline in her health and emotional struggles. She also claimed the network was responsible for her financial issues, writing:
"I've been left no choice but to sue Bravo. I have receipts [for] days. This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress-induced angioedema. I haven't worked for a year & half. I'm [too] depressed to do my podcast & [too] swollen [for] cameo or OF. I'M BEING USED AS A FALL GUY."
The former Bravolebrity doubled down on having evidence to back her claims in a separate tweet, claiming, "I WANT SO DESPERATELY TO TWEET ALL OF MY RECEIPTS BUT MY LAWYERS WONT LET ME."
"I DO APPRECIATE ALL OF UR SUPPORT MORE THAN YOU KNOW. MY CAST FROM MOROCCO HAS BEEN SO AMAZING AND SUPPORTIVE & I LOVE THOSE GALS!" Glanville concluded.

The renewed drama between Bravo and Glanville began after the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star, Caroline Manzo, filed an affidavit connected to a sexual assault lawsuit.
She accused the former Bravolebrity of a second attack in the bathroom after producers allegedly kept giving her alcohol.
Manzo alleged the attack occurred while they were shooting the 2023 reality show "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" in Morocco. Glanville, per her allegations, followed her into a bathroom and pushed her against the door, causing her to hit her head.
After locking the door, Glanville allegedly groped Manzo's vagina despite her attempts to escape. This assault happened while almost all the producers did nothing to stop it, as shared by TMZ. However, Glanville slammed the claims on X, sharing that it had ruined her career.
"I read that I wasn't [punished] [for] the false allegations in Morocco. Um, I was fired, removed from the cast, held hostage in a hotel in Morocco for days!" Glanville claimed, adding:
"The cast rallied on my side & didn't want to continue without me. Cuz of the bad untrue press, I've been canceled from all jobs."
Inside The Sexual Assault Allegations Against Glanville
Before updating her sexual assault claims, The Blast reported that Manzo had surprisingly filed a lawsuit against Bravo for Glanville's alleged crimes in January. She accused the latter of one case of harassment in Morocco, claiming:
"[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 stressed that the incident caused "dormant and horrific memories" of her past to resurface, as she was sexually assaulted as a child at 7.
Despite the pain Glanville caused, the alleged victim did not blame her but Bravo for encouraging the "sexually offensive and harassing content."
Brandi Glanville Denied The Sexual Assault Allegations
Following Manzo's lawsuit, The Blast shared that Glanville vehemently denied the allegations via a rep. The spokesperson lamented her situation, noting she "had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her."
As for what happened between Glanville and Manzo, the rep emphasized the former Bravolebrity's innocence, 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 stressed.
Glanville Accused Andy Cohen Of Sexual Harassment
Manzo isn't the only housewife to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against Bravo, as The Blast previously reported that Glanville slammed Andy Cohen for the same crime. However, the executive producer apologized and tried to pass off the incident as a joke.
Although Cohen admitted his comments were "inappropriate," Glanville stressed through her lawyers that he should be punished for his inappropriate behavior.
"Why is Andy Cohen getting a pass? Any other supervisor at Comcast/NBC who engaged in this behavior would be fired immediately on the spot," they argued.
"It is no excuse to say that this was a joke. NBC has mistakenly given Andy too much power across their network," Glanville's lawyers continued, noting that Cohen should not be protected but removed from his position immediately.
