Brandi Glanville is once again raising eyebrows, but this time with a topless Instagram photoshoot that left the internet split. In a new series of snaps shared on Instagram Wednesday, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star stripped down for a cheeky wine ad. Wrapped in only a white towel around her waist, Brandi posed confidently with her chest covered, not by clothing, but by a friend’s strategically placed hands. The pair laughed and smiled for the camera, with her male companion holding a bottle of Usual Wines and pulling exaggerated facial expressions in each frame.
In one shot, Brandi sips directly from the wine bottle while pointing at it, her wet hair tousled and face glowing. Another frame shows her lifting her hair up into a loose bun, giving a relaxed, carefree vibe. A round mirror and a minimalistic modern kitchen can be seen in the background, giving the photos a candid, at-home energy, despite their undeniably provocative nature.
“Sometimes you need a helping hand from a friend! … that’s why I picked up my @usualwines — go get some and use my link,” she captioned the post. While Glanville was clearly in on the joke, her audience didn’t exactly laugh along. Critics quickly piled on in the comments.

“This is sad. Brandi you are worth so much more than you think you are,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “I want to root for you but then you do sh-t like this. Embarrassing for your kids…” Others chimed in with similar sentiments, calling the post “thirsty” and questioning how her sons might feel. “I’m a mom of boys. They would have died if I did this!” someone remarked.
Brandi Glanville is the mother of two sons, Mason Edward Cibrian and Jake Austin Cibrian, whom she shares with her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian. Mason, born in 2003, is her eldest and has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Jake, born in 2007, is the younger of the two and is known for his high energy and playful personality.
Brandi frequently shares anecdotes about him on social media and has often highlighted the joys and challenges of raising boys as a single mom. She has been candid about navigating co-parenting with Cibrian, especially in the aftermath of their public divorce, which followed his affair with singer LeAnn Rimes.
Still, not everyone was upset. Supporters came to Brandi’s defense, praising her for living confidently and unapologetically. “Interesting how y’all attack a woman with sons, but women with daughters you’re silent… weird to me. Go awf Brandi,” one fan wrote. Another simply gushed, “You look amazing!!”
