'RHUGT' Executive Producer Addresses Caroline Manzo's Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Brandi Glanville

justjared.com:

The executive producer for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip is responding to Caroline Manzo‘s lawsuit.

Back in January, Caroline, 62, filed a lawsuit against Bravo, Peacock, NBCUniversal and Shed Media – the producers behind RHUGT – claiming that Brandi Glanville sexually harassed her when they filmed season four in Morocco in 2022.

In the court documents obtained by People, Caroline claimed that production “regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings.” During filming, Caroline claims that Brandi, 51, forced herself on her and kissed her without consent. Brandi allegedly “then 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.” The documents also claim that the incident resurfaced Caroline‘s “dormant and horrific memories” of her sexual assault that took place when she was 7 years old. Brandi has adamantly denied the allegations.

In new court documents filed on Tuesday (April 4), executive producer Lisa Shannon claims Caroline told producers that she “did not feel violated” by Brandi, but that she felt “disrespected” over the alleged incident.
