In January, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo, 62, filed a lawsuit against Bravo, the network behind the reality series, for not doing enough to stop sexual harassment.
Accusing a colleague of sexual harassment
Manzo accused Brandi Glanville, 51, of trying to kiss and grope her during a party related to “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.” The incident was not captured by television cameras.
As a result of Manzo's accusations, Glanville was later removed from the series. However, she herself denied these accusations.
In new documents related to the lawsuit, which the people I was able to access new details of the incident that are emerging.

Manzo claims that Glanville forced himself on her and felt her vagina. According to her, the producers should have been indifferent and filmed the alleged violations.
“When Glanville molested me on the couch, she rubbed her vagina on me. The producers just watched and kept filming. They saw I was in distress, but they kept filming.”
Manzo claims producers didn't make sure Glanville stayed away from her, and “continued to give her alcohol” while allowing her to follow her into the bathroom, where she claims she was sexually harassed for a second time.
