Brandi Glanville continues to experience the worst luck in her sexual harassment case against Andy Cohen and Bravo.
The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star recently slammed her attorneys as possible sellouts for abandoning her. Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos represented her until they allegedly tossed her case.
Brandi Glanville and her former attorneys made waves earlier this year following a scathing letter to Bravo, NBC, Shed Media, and Warner Bros. In their message, they accused Andy Cohen of sexual harassment and abuse of power.
Brandi Glanville Loses Her Legal Reps In Sexual Harassment Case
Glanville aired her grievances against her former attorneys in a since-deleted post on X, alleging that the pair might have been paid to drop her case. She argued that their story suddenly changed, writing:
"After a YEAR of telling me how rich I was about to be & how strong my case against BRAVO is, my 'lawyers' have decided I now don't have a case & cut ties with me. #paid off maybe ?!? allegedly."
Although Glanville highlighted "a year" in her post, she and her former legal reps did not bring their case against Cohen, Bravo, and other defendants linked to the *RHOBH" series until February 2024.
Page Six shared that Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos sent a scathing letter to the defendants over a video Cohen sent to Glanville in 2022. In it, the TV host made inappropriate suggestions to the reality TV star.

Glanville's then-attorneys argued that the video was offensive and something their client was forced to stomach because Cohen was her boss. "This was an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted," they claimed.
"It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his post in spite of this behavior and harkens back to the bad old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritized over people," the letter added.
Following the allegations, Cohen confirmed the video was an "inappropriate" joke. He stressed that "It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi's response clearly communicated she was in on the joke."
Despite his remorse, Glanville has been relentless in her pursuit of justice. The Blast shared that she seemed to be on the losing side in the legal battle, suffering unexpected consequences from stress.

In July, Glanville lamented about her ill fortune on X and blamed her problems on the sexual harassment case. She directed most of her pain at Bravo, noting the network had ruined her health.
"This is why I'm miserable and depressed :( I'm not even gonna share the picture of when it sinks in. Stress will kill you," Glanville captioned a picture of her swollen face, adding:
"How is your wealth? Take care of yourself people, thank you Bravo. I couldn't even work if I wanted to at this point."
Glanville's words came weeks after she accused Bravo of making her their "fall guy" and causing her extreme emotional stress with their actions. The outcome saw her health declining, and she suffered from "uncontrollable stress-induced angioedema."

The Blast shared that Glanville accused Bravo of using her as their "Fall Guy" after a former Housewife alleged she was sexually assaulted. Caroline Manzo from the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" franchise claimed the incident occurred in 2023.
Manzo claimed Glanville sexually attacked her in the bathroom while they were shooting the reality show "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" in Morocco. However, she did not name the latter as a defendant in her lawsuit.
Instead, Manzo blamed the incident on the show's producers for giving Glanville too much alcohol. She also slammed Bravo for encouraging the "sexually offensive and harassing content."
Brandi Glanville Is Grateful To OnlyFans For Saving Her
In February,The Blast reported that Glanville had credited OnlyFans for saving her from financial crisis. She acknowledged the explicit platform's role in her life on an episode of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast.
Glanville explained that she had not been earning money after her sexual harassment case made waves, forcing her to join OnlyFans. In her words:
"I thought I was, like, being desperate, and then when I got on it, I was like, 'I'm really feeling my sexual being at 51."
The former reality TV star noted that she gradually gained confidence by sharing pictures of her feet. She stressed that she couldn't show her face because of the swelling caused by stress-induced angioedema.
