AceShowbiz - A butler has filed a sexual abuse and harassment lawsuit against Bravo. In his lawsuit, Marco Vega claimed that he was sexually harassed by "The Real Housewives of Ultimate Girls Trip" cast members after being hired as a butler at Dorinda Medley's Blue Stone Manor in Massachusetts.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Marco claimed that Bravo allowed the Housewives to get out of control during the filming for the show's second season back in September 2021. He claimed that the network enabled them by providing them with booze, including bourbon and cocktails, and a party environment.
Things got heated when a woman came out to perform a strip tease for the cast members. Show producers then asked him to "go over and get the women dancing!" and he complied. When he was dancing, that was when he was sexually harassed by the ladies.
He claimed that Phaedra Parks slapped him on the butt. Later, Brandi Glanville allegedly ran to him to pull him by the back of his shirt. Not stopping there, she went on to rip his shirt off, leaving him with no choice but to expose his bare chest. Marco alleged that Brandi yelled, "Earn your money, Marco. Take your shirt off. Do something!"
Marco additionally revealed in his lawsuit that the ordeal caused some serious issues in his marriage. When he told his wife what was happening at the wild party, he said that she was extremely upset.
The butler, who isn't suing Brandi and Phaedra, accuses Bravo of encouraging the Housewives to engage in sexually inappropriate behavior. He is suing the network for sexual abuse and harassment. He's seeking damages, including punitives.
Bravo has yet to comment on the lawsuit. Neither Brandi and Phaedra has also responded to the sexual harassment accusations.
