Caroline Manzo SUING Bravo over Brandi Glanville’s alleged sexual harassment during Ultimate Girls Trip filming – claims ‘drunken star forced her vagina against her back’
Caroline Manzo is suing Bravo after she claims Brandi Glanville sexually harassed her while filming the Housewives spinoff Ultimate Girls Trip.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star claims Glanville, 51, was encouraged to harass her by production who gave them alcohol while they filmed in Morocco, TMZ claims.
Manzo, 62, claims in her lawsuit that the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star forced herself on her and kissed her without consent — even “forcing her vagina against her back.”
According to court documents obtained by PageSix, Glanville then “mounted Manzo on the couch while holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and stuck her tongue into Manzo’s mouth while fucking her.”
DailyMail.com has contacted Glanville and Bravo for comment, both of whom have so far been unavailable for comment.

Manzo says she returned to the United States several days later and was filmed by the production as she went to the airport with the crew in hopes of “capturing more ‘drama’ to boost their ratings.”
“Defendants, including Bravo, regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become seriously intoxicated, and then direct, encourage, and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because it is good for ratings.” , the documents say.
“Caroline Manzo is a victim of these harmful actions,” it adds.
Manzo is not suing Glanville in her lawsuit; she is suing Bravo, production and showrunners, claiming they encouraged her “sexually offensive and harassing content.”
Page Six reports that Manzo is suing for negligence, sexual harassment, sex/gender discrimination, and sexual assault. She is also suing over other lawsuits that allegedly violate California and New York state law.
“We are outraged by the conduct of Bravo, Peacock and NBC and look forward to the issues being decided by a jury. Sexual harassment should never be entertainment!’ Derek Smith, an attorney for Manzo, told the outlet.
The lawsuit also includes allegations Glanville has made against the networks on X, according to Page Six.
TMZ has reported that Manzo is seeking large damages.
Manzo says she returned to the United States several days later and was filmed by the production as she went to the airport with the crew in hopes of “generating more ‘drama’ to boost their ratings.”

‘The producers ask you to do something. And then you get in trouble!!!’ she posted on X in December. ‘The producers must follow the rules!’
