Brandi Glanville from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip said when you sue Bravo you are seemingly sealing your fate.
Ahead of the Rhugt Season 4 rumored drama with Caroline Manzo from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Glanville said that Housewives or cast members who sue Bravo were less likely to return to the network, citing Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange County as an example.
Brandi Glanville said they don’t want you back when you sue Bravo
Gunvalson’s friend Tamra Judge, returned to Rhoc this season, but Gunvalson was not asked to be a full-time cast member. Glanville thinks Gunvalson was not asked back because of the legal action she took in 2019 against the network.
