Caroline Manzo has accused her co-star Brandi Glanville of "forcibly fondling" her while they were both filming for a show.
In legal documents obtained by Page Six, the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum recalled graphic details of an alleged assault at the hands of Glanville, who is a former cast member of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In a signed affidavit filed on May 28, it was reported that Manzo was left distraught after Glanville “forcibly fondled” her genitals while producers filmed the alleged assault during an episode of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' in Morocco.
“When Glanville was sexually assaulting me on the sofa, she was rubbing her vagina on me. The producers just watched and kept filming,” the 62-year-old wrote in the document.
"They saw that I was in distress and yet, they continued to film," she added.
She continued, alleging that rather than getting her away, the production company instead plied her with more alcohol and allowed her to follow Manzo into the bathroom.
She was apparently thrown to the door, hitting her head in the process before being assaulted.
"[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 her trying to escape.
"Glanville maliciously sexually assaulted me for her own sexual gratification,” Manzo added in the legal document. "She did this by forcibly kissing me, rubbing her vagina on me, and then fondling my vagina against my will."
The 62-year-old went on to state that she had asked production to not to ask her about the alleged ordeal due to the fact that she was "visibly suffering from anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress from Glanville sexually assaulting her."
However, despite her request, she claimed that production staff forced her to "relive the sexual assaults [...] to create more ‘drama’ in the interview for their own ratings and profit," as reported by Page Six.
It comes after Manzo initially filed the lawsuit against the 51-year-old reality TV star in January stating that Glanville forced herself on her and kissed her without consent.
It was reported in the documents that Glanville “then proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo’s mouth, while humping her,” as per the outlet, adding that the incident resurfaced Manzo’s “dormant and horrific memories” of her sexual assault that took place when she was 7 years old."
“Defendants, including Bravo, regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings,” the lawsuit added.
"Caroline Manzo is a victim of those harmful actions."
Glanville has not yet addressed the claims against her.
