Brandi Glanville contemplated suicide after Caroline Manzo sexual assault allegations

Brandi Glanville confessed that Caroline Manzo’s sexual assault allegations made her want to end her life. 

“All my jobs were canceled,” the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star said. “The narrative when we got back from Morocco was I was fired for being inappropriate with Caroline Manzo, and I wasn’t.”

“It’s ruined my life,” the 52-year-old continued during Thursday’s episode of Tori Spelling’s “Misspelling” podcast. “Those six months, I was in a fetal position on my couch, contemplating suicide [and I was] being called horrible things.” 

In January 2023, “RHONJ” alum Manzo, 63, and Glansville left the Morocco set of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” after the former accused the latter of kissing her without consent. Glanville, however, has vehemently denied the allegations. 

“It went from ‘gave her a lap dance’ to ‘kissed her unwantingly’ to ‘sexually harrassed her’ and then to rape,” the mom of two recalled. “I was supposed to go to Australia after [filming the show]. I had all these jobs lined up, and everything was canceled. It wasn’t even – I’m like, ‘Just wait for the show to air at least, like, come on.’”

The network has not publicly revealed whether they plan to release the episodes.

Having lost income over a span of six months, Glanville turned to OnlyFans. “I was going through my savings, and so I started,” she said. 

“I was making good money and then my face started being crazy, so then I couldn’t really even do that.”

The Bravolebrity has been dealing with an undiagnosed medical condition that has caused facial disfigurement. 

“It’s just been a really tough time,” she said in part, noting that not having a diagnosis for her facial disfigurement has been difficult “because it’s spreading.” 

The lawsuit accused the network of permitting the cast to harass one another to foster “good ratings.” 

In documents obtained by Page Six at the time, Manzo said she was kissed by Glanville without consent. “[Glanville] 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 read. 

A rep for Glanville denied the allegations in a statement given to Page Six at the time. “Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her,” they said. 

“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo. “This painful storytelling seems endless and needs to stop. She is looking to move on and upward and get her life back.”
