RHUGT footage detailing incident between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville gets “temporarily restricted” by court. Get all the deets!
Page Six reports that the RHUGT footage that shows the incident between Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo in Morocco has been “temporarily restricted” by a New York court.
RHUGT executive producer Lisa Shannon submitted the videos to the court last week in order to have Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit thrown out. However, she also requested that the clips be sealed from the public.
While the footage pertaining to the incident cannot be viewed, in her filing Shannon notes that the footage details “the incident at issue in the complaint, Manzo’s perceptions of it, the other cast member’s perceptions of it and the aftermath” of the encounter between the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG and Brandi Glanville in which Caroline alleges that Brandi forced her tongue down her throat and humped her without prior consent.
In court documents, Shannon also insisted that Caroline Manzo told RHUGT producers that she felt “disrespected” by Brandi Glanville but said the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum did not “sexually violate” her.
“Our primary concern at that point was making sure that Manzo felt safe,” read the documents. “She told us that she felt safe, that she wanted to continue to film, and that she did not want Glanville to be sent home.”
Fellow RHUGT stars including Phaedra Parks all purported that everyone in the cast was “having fun” and that no one was aware that Caroline had been sexually abused as a child which affected her response to Brandi’s behavior.
“Am I happy? No. Do I feel vindicated? No. IM F–KING MORE PISSED THAN EVER,” Brandi tweeted on Thursday following Bravo’s response to Caroline’s lawsuit.
“What these producers do to make a tv show is disgraceful & disgusting. I begged for them to intervene. I almost died. It took a lawsuit… I’m not ok.”
Brandi has repeatedly called Caroline’s “false” sexual harassment claims “absurd” since filming RHUGT in Morocco over a year ago.
“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault,” Brandi’s rep told Page Six in January after the RHONJ alum filed her lawsuit.
“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.”
It’s still unclear if Bravo will air the Morocco installment of RHUGT. Some have claimed that Bravo has tabled airing the season while others insist no official decisions have been made.
