Brandi said she has not worked a single job in a year and a half

BRANDI Glanville broke down in tears as she claimed Bravo and Andy Cohen ruined her life and left her “broke and sick.”

Brandi said that despite an already rocky relationship with Bravo, her life truly went crashing downhill after Caroline Manzo accused her of sexual harassment during the taping of Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in 2023.

She said that after the allegations were made against her and Bravo did not step up to defend her, her career was destroyed, and other work she had lined up vanished.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum claims the stress of it all has pushed her to the point of illness and that she was even at one point suicidal.

In her exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Brandi vehemently denied wrongdoing in the Caroline incident. She pointed to a filing in the Real Housewives of New Jersey’s lawsuit against Bravo and NBC Universal.

In the filing reviewed by The U.S. Sun, a Shed producer claimed Caroline had told them after the incident that she did not feel sexually assaulted by Brandi and that, instead, she felt “disrespected.”

Brandi said the Shed producer’s claims about what Caroline said in the aftermath of the situation came to light entirely too late, as it had been well over a year since the incident first made headlines in which she was labeled a “predator.”

“With the Caroline Manzo situation, I didn’t do anything wrong. That’s why she’s not suing me, because I didn’t do anything wrong. And I think she’s suing Bravo, because she wants money. And what would she get from me? My rental? I don’t have any money to give her,” Brandi told The U.S. Sun.

“I think that Bravo hung me out to dry for a storyline, for a show, knowing that all of that press would cause me to lose other jobs, and it did, and they didn’t care. They don’t care about me.”

Brandi said the accusations against her ballooned as the stories over the alleged incident in Morocco circulated.

“It went from I sexually harassed someone to sexual misconduct. There were even people who were calling me a rapist.

“People just were tearing me apart. And the fact that Bravo didn’t say anything then, it’s like ‘Help me. Help me. Tell the truth. Help me!,’ I hate them.”

When asked if she thinks the footage from that Ultimate Girls Trip will ever air, she laughs and says, “I know that after they see this interview, I’m not going to get a great edit. So hopefully not.”

Brandi went on to explain the conditions behind making a show like Ultimate Girls Trip.

“Let’s be clear. Bravo has always done this, they want us unhinged to make TV.”

“They push us to a point where we’re doing things that we would never in real life do, and then they’re telling us we’re in trouble for it.

“They need to get their s*** together and figure out what is going on.

“These girls’ trips are the Wild West, because you have seven days to shoot seven episodes, and you’re working 20-hour days, you’re wasted most of the time, and you’re sleep deprived and jet lagged

“It’s actually like they’re putting all of us in danger,” Brandi claimed.

FAILING HEALTH

“In July of last year, I started having these attacks of swelling in my face, and I was put in the hospital in October.

“They said I had stress-induced angioedema, and I would just need to control my stress,” Brandi said.

The single mom-of-two said that controlling her stress was nearly impossible in her situation.

“When you’re being called a sexual predator, or that you sexually harassed someone – when that narrative is out there and Bravo literally could have stepped in at any time and helped me.”

She continued, speaking to the filing from the Shed producer who claimed Caroline only felt “disrespected” during the incident.

“They could have helped me, but it wasn’t until they got a lawsuit against them that they said Brandi didn’t do anything wrong.

“Maybe this is all for a storyline, and you just wanted to ruin my life and my health for a storyline you’re speaking up a year and a half later, and you could have said this in the beginning, I lost three shows.”

“I don’t leave my house anymore. It’s just consumed my life. The cancel culture thing is real, and I didn’t do anything wrong, and they didn’t care to correct it until they got a lawsuit against them,” she continued.

“I was literally suicidal, and if it wasn’t for Phaedra [Parks] and my kids, I don’t know where I’d be right now,” Brandi continued.

Caroline Manzo did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

THE TERRIFYING HOSPITALIZATION

Brandi opened up about the incident six months after the Morocco trip that landed her in the hospital for several days.

“It was just hit after hit, after hit, after hit, I can only take so much, and I ended up in the hospital. My son had to call 911 and it was terrifying.”

“My face started swelling up, and then my eyes went blurry, and my hands got really stiff, and I felt like I had to pass out so I laid down, but I knew I was gonna lay down.

“And my son called 911 I like. it was so scary, and my face, they had to give me an EpiPen and then I was in there for three days.”

Brandi said she was then told she needed to control her stress.

She said after everything she went through with Bravo, she felt “even more expendable.”

CONSTANT STRESS

“When people say ‘Don’t stress,’ it’s easier said than done. When you don’t have income and you’re spending, I have two kids, and I’m spending money on rent and I’m spending money constantly, and there’s nothing coming in. It’s scary.”

“I hate them.”

“In the past year and a half since I returned home from Morocco, I have not worked, not one job. I had jobs lined up overseas, those were canceled.”

Brandi said Bravo told her “not to talk” after the Caroline incident.

“They told me, keep my head down. It’s gonna be fine. I have emails from them like, ‘Keep your head down, it’s gonna be fine, do what we say,’ all the while they had every intention of just hanging me out to dry for the sake of a storyline on a TV show.

“I hate them.”

WHEN ANDY ‘QUITS YOU’

Brandi said that once Bravo boss Andy Cohen is done with you, there will be far-reaching consequences in the entertainment business.

“When Andy quits you it’s not just that you’re not going to work for Bravo ever again. You’re not going to work for Bravo, you’re not going to work for NBC, you’re not going to work for Warner Brothers, which is a part of every TV show.

“Every time I see Warner Brothers, every time I turn on the TV, I get depressed. I’m like, I’m never working again. It’s not just Andy. There’s all of these huge companies behind him that will ruin your life, and they have.”

“I feel like, for him, my life is a joke. Like he was just gonna see if I was gonna survive, and he would pull the strings.”

Brandi explained that Andy plays a Big Brother-type character, where he decides your fate.

“Like he’s saying, ‘Okay, we’ll give Brandi, no work now, and we’re gonna cancel her and see if she is okay. And I’m not.”

Through tears, Brandi says: “My health is f***** and, like, I don’t want to talk about it.

It’s been a really hard year, and I’m finally strong enough to say, ‘You know what f*** you, you’re gonna pay for everything that you did. Everyone’s gonna know what a horrible boss you were.'”

BRANDI’S REGRETS

Honestly, I regret most of my behavior, but it was a time in my life where I had to have a job.

“My ex-husband and I were going through a nasty divorce, our money was held in an escrow account, so I didn’t have money coming in from him, and I had to pay the rent. I had to do all these things so that I hadn’t done before. So I was acting out to keep a job.”

Bad behavior was job security.

Brandi admitted she caused pain to those around her for her behavior while on the show.

“I embarrassed myself. I embarrassed my kids.

“I can’t even watch it back. I don’t, when it comes on like, I literally have to change the channel. I get knots in my stomach.”

Brandi said that in her situation, “Bad behavior was job security.”

“For people like me. For people that have all the money in the world, they just sit around doing nothing on the show, and it’s fine, because ‘We need the lifestyle, but Brandi, go do something, give us a show.'”

The former Real Housewives star added: “There’s a hierarchy. For sure. It’s ridiculous, it’s unfair.

“I think that they prey on vulnerable women like Leah [McSweeney] and myself, single moms who need the check.

“They were in her ear having her do crazy stuff. They were telling me to do crazy stuff. And we did it, sadly, but we did it.”

ANDY’S MESSAGES

The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed emails, texts, and a video message sent from Andy to Brandi earlier this week.

In a video message, Andy told Brandi he’d be having sex later on and asked if she would want to watch on FaceTime.

Brandi claimed various text messages and an email from Andy made her feel like a “sex worker.”

In two separate messages at the end of BravoCon weekend in 2022, Andy suggested that Brandi hook up with his stage manager and fellow Bravolebrity, Austen Kroll.

In another message, Andy pressured Brandi to tell him about anything she had heard about him sexually.

A rep for Bravo and Andy Cohen declined to comment for this story.
