Caroline Manzo sues Bravo over Brandi Glanville’s alleged sexual harassment on ‘UGT’

Caroline Manzo officially has filed a lawsuit against Bravo and Peacock over Brandi Glanville’s alleged sexual harassment during the filming of “Ultimate Girls Trip.”

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum, who is also suing a variety of other production companies involved in the filming of the reality series, claims Glanville harassed her at the behest of production while they filmed in Morocco.

Manzo, 62, claims in her lawsuit, obtained by Page Six, that the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star forced herself on her and kissed her and without consent.

Glanville “then proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo’s mouth, while humping her,” the documents state, adding that the incident resurfaced Manzo’s “dormant and horrific memories” of her sexual assault that took place when she was seven years old.

The reality star also claims that Glanville, 51, “forced her vagina” against her back. Days later, Manzo flew home to the US and claims production filmed her all the way to the airport with hopes of “gathering more ‘drama’ to increase their ratings.”

“Defendants, including Bravo, regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings,” the lawsuit states.

“Caroline Manzo is a victim of those harmful actions.”

Notably, Manzo isn’t suing Glanville; she’s going after Bravo, production and showrunners for allegedly encouraging Glanville’s “sexually offensive and harassing content.”

Manzo’s lawsuit also includes tweets from Glanville’s X account (formerly Twitter) that show the Bravolebrity leveling her own allegations against the networks.

Manzo is suing for negligence, sexual harassment, sex/gender discrimination, sexual battery and other causes of action that she says violate state laws in California and New York.

TMZ was the first to report the news of the lawsuit.

“We are outraged by Bravo, Peacock and NBC’s conduct and look forward to having the issues decided by a jury. Sexual harassment should never be entertainment!” Manzo’s attorney, Derek Smith, tells Page Six in a statement.

Reps for Bravo and Peacock didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
