Social media is going crazy with reactions as Phaedra Parks defends Brandi Glanville amid sexual assault accusations. Recall that in January 2023, reality TV star Caroline Manzo left Morocco early while filming The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. Manzo claimed that Glanville touched her private area and kissed her without consent while on set. Brandi Glanville repeatedly denied the sexual assault allegations, even claiming the situation was a setup. Now, months after the alleged incident took place, Parks has given her side of the story. The attorney claims Glanville is innocent, but fans find it hard to believe.
Phaedra Parks Defends Brandi Glanville
Parks spoke out for the first time since the Brandi Glanville sexual assault claims broke on the internet. Phaedra Parks defended Brandi Glanville during a chat with Us Weekly at Bravocon on Saturday. When asked what went down between Glanville and Manzo, Parks replied,
“Absolutely nothing happened. So let’s roll the tapes.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum claimed she was present when the alleged incident occurred. Parks noted that her memory wasn’t vague as she was sober that day, adding that she saw it all.
The businesswoman described the incident as a “harlequin romance” before noting:
“I’m excited that you all will get to see it because you need to see it for yourself — because it’s been way exaggerated.”
Fans Debate Over Parks’s Comments
Phaedra Parks’s defense of Glanville has sparked mixed reactions from Reddit users. Many fans have slammed the star, tagging her as a liar. One user wrote:
“Phaedra is a liar who set her own friend up to be defamed & slandered, so it’s a no for me. I don’t believe her plus Brandi’s pattern of ignoring boundaries.”
A second Redditor with similar thoughts shared:
“Lol we’re supposed to believe anything Phaedra says?…Ok.” A third fan also commented, “Not exactly the person I would want vouching for my character.”
On the other hand, some fans believed Parks was telling the truth. One Redditor said:
“And everyone knows Phaedra is extremely honest and trustworthy when it comes to things of this matter.”
A second fan quipped:
“Never thought I would see the day but I believe Phaedra Parks.”
Other users chose to stay neutral, with one fan writing:
“I know a lot of people hate Brandi and Phaedra…but I don’t think Caroline Manzo is credible either so I’m not blindly believing any of them.”
A second user relayed:
“Brandi, Phaedra, and Caroline are probably 3 of the most unreliable sources we could ever have.”
Fans have called for Bravo to release the footage and put everything to sleep. Hopefully, the footage, if released, would put the tensions at bay. For now, one can only enjoy the drama and debate the issue continues to generate on social media.
