AceShowbiz - The Real Housewives franchise is no stranger to drama, but the latest controversy involving Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville has taken things to a whole new level. "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" has found itself at the center of a legal battle involving the former cast members.
The dispute stems from an alleged incident during filming in Morocco, where Manzo claims she was sexually harassed and kissed without consent by Glanville. However, conflicting stories have emerged from the involved parties, adding layers of complexity to the situation.
According to executive producer Lisa Shannon, who recently filed court documents in response to Manzo's lawsuit against Bravo and Peacock, Manzo did not feel "sexually violated" by Glanville but rather "disrespected." Shannon's version of events suggests that Manzo disclosed her past trauma to the production team, which triggered memories of her childhood trauma but did not involve an assault. Shannon emphasized that their priority was ensuring Manzo's safety, and Manzo expressed that she felt safe and wanted to continue filming.
Despite Manzo's claims of feeling violated, Shannon alleges that other cast members, including Phaedra Parks, perceived the events differently and thought they were just having fun. The conflicting interpretations of the incident further complicate the situation, leaving room for multiple perspectives on what transpired between Manzo and Glanville.
Following the incident, Manzo ultimately decided to fly back home after the rest of the cast planned to visit Glanville at her hotel, leading to the only instance where Manzo requested not to be filmed. Despite leaving early, Shannon confirmed that Manzo was paid in full for her role in the series.
In response to Manzo's accusations, Glanville has vehemently denied the claims, calling them "absurd" and "false." Glanville's representatives highlighted that she followed the producers' instructions while filming and denied any allegations of sexual assault.
The conflicting stories surrounding Manzo and Glanville's altercation on "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" continue to unfold, showcasing the complexities and challenges that come with navigating allegations of harassment and misconduct. As the legal battle ensues, the future of the show remains uncertain, adding more twists and turns to this Real Housewives saga.
