Caroline Manzo has described in graphic detail the sexual assault she allegedly endured at the hands of Brandi Glanville while filming “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” in Morocco.
In a signed affidavit filed on May 28 and obtained exclusively by Page Six, the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum claimed the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star “forcibly fondled” her vagina while producers filmed the alleged assault.
“When Glanville was sexually assaulting me on the sofa, she was rubbing her vagina on me. The producers just watched and kept filming,” Manzo, 62, writes in the affidavit. “They saw that I was in distress and yet, they continued to film.”

The Bravolebrity alleges that production didn’t “separate” Glanville, 51, from her and instead “continued to feed” Glanville with alcohol and allowed her to follow Manzo into the bathroom where she “threw” her against the bathroom door, causing her to hit her head.
Glanville then “locked me in the bathroom where she forcibly fondled my vagina against my will,” with Manzo further alleging that producers “did not help” despite witnessing Manzo’s escape attempt.
“Glanville maliciously sexually assaulted me for her own sexual gratification,” Manzo writes in the legal document.
“She did this by forcibly kissing me, rubbing her vagina on me and then fondling my vagina against my will.”
Manzo claims she requested production not ask her about the alleged assault during her “pickup” interviews back in New York City because she was “visibly suffering from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress from Glanville sexually assaulting me.”
The Brownstone owner, however, claims production forced her to “relive the sexual assaults” “to create more ‘drama’ in the interview for their own ratings and profit.”
Bravo and Peacock had no comment while reps for Glanville and Shed Media didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.
Manzo filed her bombshell lawsuit against Bravo and Peacock in January, claiming Glanville forced herself on her and kissed her without consent. The lawsuit further alleged that the incident resurfaced Manzo’s “dormant and horrific memories” of her sexual assault that took place when she was 7 years old.
Glanville responded to Manzo’s lawsuit by calling her allegations “absurd.”
“Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her,” a rep for Glanville told Page Six at the time.
“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.
“This painful storytelling seems endless and needs to stop. She is looking to move on and upward and get her life back.”
An executive producer of “RHUGT” claimed in court documents filed in April that Manzo felt “disrespected” by the onlyFans star but wasn’t “sexually violated” by her.
“Our primary concern at that point was making sure that Manzo felt safe,” read the documents. “She told us that she felt safe, that she wanted to continue to film, and that she did not want Glanville to be sent home.”
Manzo ultimately flew home from Morocco early.
