Brandi’s tale of the tapes
ATTORNEYS for reality star Brandi Glanville have sent a letter to Warner Bros. demanding that it release audio tapes that, they claim, will prove that she didn’t sexually harass a co-star.
Fellow “Real Housewives” alum Caroline Manzo has claimed that Glanville touched her in the breast and genital areas without her consent while they were off-camera during a shoot for “Housewives” spinoff “Ultimate Girls Trip.”
Attorneys for Glanville say that Shed Media — a production company owned by Warner Bros. — should have immediately released evidence to show the claims were unwarranted.
“It is absolutely unacceptable that your company would knowingly and willingly allow such a story to take hold in the media, without any regard for the truth or the impact on Ms. Glanville’s reputation,” wrote lawyer Duncan P. Levin. “You are in possession of audio and video recordings that clearly demonstrate that Ms. Glanville acted appropriately and within the bounds of the law.”
The letter — seen by Page Six — also claims that the studio is “aware that three eyewitnesses corroborate [Glanville’s claims of innocence]; yet, Shed Media and Warners Brothers has [sic] chosen to sit idly by and let this false narrative continue.”
Levin claimed it’s a “cynical ploy for ratings” — the idea presumably being that potential viewers’ interest would be piqued by press reports about Glanville’s alleged behavior.
The letter alleges that, after sending Glanville home because of the incident, Shed realized she wasn’t guilty and “is now attempting to insinuate that Ms. Glanville engaged in sexual harassment with an entirely different individual, a producer,” as a means to justify her ejection from the show.
It also claims that “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Manzo did nothing to discourage Glanville from touching her.
Reps didn’t get back to us.
