\u201cReal Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco\u201d has been in limbo since 2023 after Caroline Manzo<\/strong> accused Brandi Glanville<\/strong> of sexually assaulting her during production. Andy Cohen<\/strong> has said the show might air, but it surely\u2019s currently being held up by an ongoing lawsuit. Now, \u201cReal Housewives of Orange County\u201d alum Kelly Dodd<\/strong> is defending Glanville against the allegations.<\/p>\n

Dodd recently hosted an Instagram Live session<\/a>. During it, a fan mentioned Manzo, who appeared on \u201cThe Real Housewives of Recent Jersey\u201d for the primary five seasons. Upon seeing Manzo\u2019s name, the \u201cRHOC\u201d alum said, \u201cEw, Caroline Manzo, ew.\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, she mentioned \u201cRHUGT: Morocco\u201d and Manzo\u2019s lawsuit. In response to her, \u201cBy the best way, all of them told me that Caroline Manzo, the those that were there, told me that Caroline Manzo was attempting to get it on like Donykong with [Brandi].\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

After that, she wondered concerning the status of the lawsuit against NBCUniversal regarding the alleged incident. <\/p>\n

Dodd continued discussing the situation, saying that she \u201ccan\u2019t stand that Brandi Glanville, she bugs, but Gretchen and Vicki swear that Brandi did nothing unsuitable. They each said that she did nothing, nothing unsuitable. And I would like to look at that one. I would like to see exactly what went down.\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, she said, \u201cI just think that was a money grab. I feel,\u201d seemingly referring to Manzo\u2019s lawsuit. <\/p>\n

Regarding the yet-to-be-released \u201cRHUGT: Morocco,\u201d Manzo filmed the season in January 2023, alongside Phaedra Parks<\/strong>, Camille Grammer<\/strong>, Alex McCord<\/strong>, Eva Marcille<\/strong>, Vicki Gunvalson<\/strong>, and Glanville. In typical situations, the season would have aired months after filming fairly than being shelved.<\/p>\n

\u2018Housewives\u2019 Fans Think The \u2018Orange County\u2019 Alum Is Right <\/h2>\n

Following Dodd\u2019s comments going viral, \u201cHousewives\u201d fans weighed in, with many noting that, while not perfect, the \u201cRHOC\u201d alum isn\u2019t known for lying.<\/p>\n

One person wrote, \u201cKelly is many things, but she\u2019s never been a liar. I feel she\u2019s right here.\u201d One other X user stated, \u201cJustice for Brandi Glanville.\u201d After that, another person called out Manzo, writing, \u201cIn case you rewatch \u2018RHONJ,\u2019 you possibly can really see how diabolical Caroline is, especially knowing what she did to Dina and Lexi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, another person defended Manzo. They said, \u201cSo two individuals who weren’t involved within the grievance say Brandi did nothing unsuitable? Was Kelly there? I suppose \u2018consider the victim\u2019 is barely a thing sometimes. How about we just take heed to the 2 people involved, and then you definitely consider who you should.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lastly, a distinct \u2018Housewives\u201d fan stated, \u201cNobody\u2019s been \u2018vindicated\u2019. This woman is repeating secondhand information she heard from former solid members of a show she still isn\u2019t over being off of. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glanville has been open about how much the toll Manzo\u2019s claims against her have had on her personal and skilled life. Notably, she hasn\u2019t appeared on a reality television show for the reason that alleged incident. Recently, in October 2024, she took to social media to not only suggest that Manzo is a lesbian, but to vent her overall frustrations. <\/p>\n

Glanville posted to X, \u201cCompletely satisfied Sunday funday! It\u2019s been almost 2 yrs now since a lying,short red haired closeted old lesbian ruined my life. Girl, lean into [the rainbow] that\u2019s a ravishing space. If you come out ur family will give you the option to finally speak their very own obvious truths.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s value noting that multiple solid members have defended Glanville. As mentioned, \u201cReal Housewives of Atlanta\u201d star Parks was also on the solid. She spoke to US Weekly<\/a> in November 2023 concerning the alleged incident. <\/p>\n

Parks, who can be an attorney, said, \u201cAbsolutely nothing [happened]. So, let\u2019s roll the tapes! I used to be there, and honey, I used to be sober. Sober, sober. I actually don\u2019t drink, so I saw all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding what happened between the 2, Parks recalled, \u201cIt was a Harlequin romance. Love was winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glanville appeared on Tori Spelling<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cMisSPELLING\u201d podcast<\/a> in April 2025, detailing the struggles she\u2019s faced since being accused of sexual assault by Manzo. Moreover, she\u2019s been impacted by several health issues, including facial disfigurement.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cWithin the midst of all of this, I\u2019m not working. All my jobs are canceled due to the Caroline work. The narrative once we got back from Morocco was I used to be fired for being inappropriate with Caroline Manzo. And I wasn\u2019t\u2026 It\u2019s ruined my life.\u201d <\/p>\n

The \u201cHousewives\u201d alum continued, \u201cI got sick six months later. But those six months, I used to be in a fetal position on my couch, like, contemplating suicide, being called horrible things. It\u2019s so crazy that the press has a lot power.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
