Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville became subjects of interest after details of an alleged assault emerged. Many weighed in on the issue, but former RHONY Housewife Bethenny Frankel’s reaction showed her distaste for recent viewer appetite. Find out what happened below.
Caroline Manzo Allegedly Assaulted By Brandi Glanville
Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville made headlines after Brandi allegedly assaulted her co-star sexually during the latest RHUGT.
Details emerging indicate that a drunk Brandi kissed Caroline several times without the latter’s consent. Sources say that despite Caroline’s obvious discomfort, Brandi continued.
Eventually, an uncomfortable Caroline went into the bathroom, but Brandi followed her. The 50-year-old locked the door and pinned her co-star to the wall.
“She put her hands on Caroline’s breast area and vaginal area,” a source familiar with the incident told Page Six. Brandi eventually stopped after realizing Caroline wanted none of it.
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star requested to be moved to a hotel to get “out of the situation.” She returned to America on January 27, leaving filming early. Producers also asked Brandi to leave the show.
Producers of RHUGT, Shed, and Peacock promised to investigate the incident. “The safety and security of cast and crew while shooting is extremely important and we take all reports seriously,” their statement read. “In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action.”
Bethenny Frankel Reacts To The Incident
Bethenny Frankel’s reaction to the incident is similar to her line of thought since she left the Bravo franchise.
The businesswoman said it was “f**ked up” that Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville were in that situation.
Bethenny lamented that the Bravo franchise “celebrates fraud and infidelity and going to jail,” adding, “It really does capitalize off that.”
The Real Housewives of New York City alum has often been criticized for having a ReWives podcast after “trashing the Housewives.”
The former Bravolebrity expressed her understanding of Caroline’s feelings. She called the reality star a “respectable woman who took a hit during the pandemic who wants to make a little bit of money — and a great Housewife.”
Bethenny explained that the enjoyment of what should have been a magical Morocco trip had been taken away from her.
The Skinnygirl founder touched on the responsibility of society as well. “Our society consumes other people’s grief and hardship with a voracious appetite,” she concluded.
Bethenny Frankel’s reaction to the Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville incident is similar to many. Fans of the franchise also demanded an explanation after news of the situation came out.
Meanwhile, Brandi Glanville only issued a cryptic statement after fans besieged her for an explanation.
