Brandi Glanville’s Friend Launches GoFundMe to Help ‘RHOBH’ Alum Cover Costs of Removing ‘Fungal Ball’ From Her Face 

Recently, The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum was a guest on the Legally Goff podcast, where she discussed her time on the Real Housewives spinoff and her subsequent (and ongoing) 2024 lawsuit against NBC, Bravo, and other entities. Manzo took NBC to court after she says she was sexually harassed and assaulted by castmate Brandi Glanville while filming RHUGT Season 4 in Morocco. Glanville has denied the allegations. She is not named in Manzo’s lawsuit.

The legal situation led to Bravo shelving the fourth season of RHUGT. During her conversation with podcast host Brooke Goff, Manzo addressed her feeling about the footage possibly seeing the light and day once the lawsuit is resolved. 

“The only thing that I’m fearful with that is what it would do to me mentally … it never goes away, as you well know,” she said. 

“It will never go away and I don’t know that I have the capacity to mentally deal with that for the rest of my life. I deal with it now, and nobody’s seen it. Can you imagine if it’s out there and I have all the opinions and everything? So I don’t know that I could handle that mentally. And I’m tough.”

Manzo also shared that she had not seen most of the footage from RHUGT. 

“My lawyer has. I can’t watch it. The one time I did watch a few [minutes of it], I was not right for months,” she said. 

‘RHONJ’ alum says Brandi Glanville is ‘broken’ 

During their time in Morocco, Manzo says that an intoxicated Glanville forcibly kissed her, then groped her in a bathroom while producers listened in but did not intervene. While Manzo said that she has not spoken to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum since the incident, she’s not angry with her. 

“The craziest thing is, I have no malice towards Brandi,” Manzo said. “I really don’t. I like Brandi. Brandi’s broken.”

“I would like to fix Brandi,” she added. “That would make me happy.”
