Brandi Glanville Reveals She Began 'Contemplating Suicide' After Drama With Caroline Manzo

Former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville just revealed she began "contemplating suicide" after losing her job due to the on-set drama that occurred between her and Caroline Manzo while filming an unaired season of "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip."

While the reality star was filming her second season of the show, reports began to surface claiming the Bravo veteran got too handsy with Manzo, causing her to be sent home early.

After that, the network put Brandi Glanville on pause, and since then, she hasn't returned to work on any major television show. According to her, losing work sent her into a deep spiral.

While appearing on Tori Spelling's podcast, Glanville, who Bravo viewers know for being outspoken and sometimes over-the-top, said she went through a tough period after being sent home from filming what should've been season 4 of "RHUGT."

“All my jobs were canceled,” she said. “The narrative when we got back from Morocco was I was fired for being inappropriate with Caroline Manzo, and I wasn’t."

For those unfamiliar with the situation, Manzo and Glanville were both cast for the "Housewives" spin-off, which was filmed in Morocco. While playing a party game, sources claimed Glanville became handsy with Manzo, making the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" OG extremely uncomfortable.

Glanville was sent home from the trip early, and Manzo left on her own shortly after.

“It’s ruined my life,” Glanville said about the reports surrounding her and Manzo's interaction. “Those [first] six months, I was in a fetal position on my couch, like, contemplating suicide [and I was] being called horrible things.”

A year after the alleged encounter, Manzo filed a lawsuit against Bravo, Peacock, and other production companies, claiming they supply the cast with alcohol and "encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings."

In her lawsuit, Manzo, 63, claimed Glanville “proceeded to mount [her] 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."

Glanville told Spelling that the developments after filming happened quickly, causing her to miss out on other work opportunities.

Since Glanville wasn't being called to appear on other shows, the mother of two revealed she turned to the subscription site OnlyFans to provide for her family.

“Literally at 51, I started OnlyFans because I did not have income for six months,” she explained. “I was going through my savings, and so I started. I was making good money and then my face started being crazy, so then I couldn’t really even do that. It’s just been a really tough time, and then now, still not having a diagnosis [is the hardest] because it’s spreading.”

In December 2024, Glanville opened up about her facial disfigurement, which she believes is caused by a parasite, and blamed Bravo for causing it.

"What happened? I wish I knew I've been in [and] out of the hospital this [past] year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.'s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it's stress induced edema. I personally say it's Bravo," she wrote in a post online.

Amid her ongoing issues with Bravo, Glanville claimed her former boss, Andy Cohen, sexually harassed her.

Glanville referenced a FaceTime call in which she says Cohen asked her to watch him have sex with another Bravo star—Kate Chastain.

In a letter, Glanville claimed Cohen's comments made her feel "trapped" because he had control "over her career."

The reality star's legal team went on and blasted the network's head honcho for his reported inappropriate relationship with his talent.

"Any boss who is clearly inebriated encouraging their employee by FaceTime video to watch their boss have sex with another employee, constitutes sexual harassment, plain and simple, under any definition, even one concocted by NBC," Glanville's lawyers wrote.

They continued, "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. It is no excuse to say that this was a joke. NBC has mistakenly given Andy too much power across their network."

Cohen responded to the news and said he was "clearly joking" before saying his comments were meant "in jest."

"That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize," he said.
