Brandi Glanville got fired from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last week. Brandi later confirmed that she was leaving, although she did make it sound like it was her choice. She’s also said she might return as a guest star every now and then, which may be part of the deal Brandi brokered with the Real Housewife people – I mean, she gets headlines and causes drama, which is good for business, so I suspect the Bravo people don’t want to cut their ties with her completely. But they might after Brandi’s Howard Stern interview yesterday! Brandi might have burned a lot of bridges with this one. Some highlights:
Brandi struggled with how she was portrayed: “Last year was a really tough year for me, because I felt like I played ball — you know, I gave my all to the show. And then when it aired, I felt like, ‘Oh my god, they did me no favors in the editing room.’ And I got really upset and a little depressed because of it.”
She dumped the show, not vice versa: “I didn’t want to do the show again, ’cause I took so much heat. I was doing things to my own detriment that I couldn’t explain, like throwing wine in someone’s face. And then I slapped Vanderpump. I really don’t know why…[I got] so much hate on social media. I really didn’t want to come back, I had other offers to do other things. And I said, ‘Listen, I will come back if it makes sense, if it’s with Yolanda [Foster] or if it’s with Kim [Richards]. Otherwise, I don’t talk to any of the other ladies, and I don’t like them.'”
She hates Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump: “Here’s what sucks, and this is why they’re c—ts. They are. Because they’re saying I got fired, I’m in the process of moving, trying to rent a house for my two children, and no one will rent to me because they don’t think I have a job. They’re like, ‘Are you sure you’re not fired?’ I’m like, ‘I have 10 other jobs, I have a new show that I’m gonna be doing that I can’t talk about yet, and a development deal with a really big network. So I have jobs, and I wasn’t fired from the Housewives.'”
Her current boyfriend: “The problem is, our physical relationship is so great, but we just don’t get along otherwise. Like, if he didn’t talk, we would be together forever… I have serious trust issues, and when I start to have feelings for somebody, I tend to sabotage it and break up with them before they break my heart, because I’m afraid of that again. I have to be strong and independent for my kids, and I can’t go through that again. I dated this guy who was very rich — he had a plane and all this stuff — but he cheated on me, too! And he was short, Jewish, with a hairy back! I was like, ‘What the f–k?'”
From what little I’ve seen of Kyle Richards, I sort of agree that she comes across like a manipulative C-U-Next-Tuesday. But I thought people loved Lisa Vanderpump? Isn’t she, like, a fan-favorite? Even Elisabeth Moss talks about how much she loves The Vanderpump. Anyway… did Brandi really burn some bridges? I don’t know. I know she wants people to believe that she’s got all of these amazing things going on, but I think she’s going to be complaining about money soon enough. Oh, and as soon as someone complains about “editing,” you know they’re full of it.

Lisa is/was a fan favorite but I think it has recently become very clear that she is just a master manipulator. The re-friendship with Kyle kinda confirmed that for me at least (regardless of Kyle’s issues with Kim– Kyle is and always has been vile IMO).
Lisa IS a master manipulator…having been seeing it for at least the past two years. And agree that Kyle is vile…have never been a fan and never will be.
Lisa is a cold-hearted, self-centered person. I really liked her at first, but if people don’t bow down to her, she enjoys hurting them.
100% agree. Lisa V is a snake in the grass. A complete instigator of a lot of the drama that goes on in the show, then she just sits back and lets it all unfold, pretending she had nothing to do with it. Can’t stand her.
Yeah the editors conspired to make her look bad! LOL. Uh NO.
She’s an entertaining interview, I’ll give her that.
I hope that she goes on to find lucrative projects that aren’t a source of embarrassment for her sons.
This.
I’m going to just say, chances are every single housewife is a real piece of work. Some are edited as the villain, but you have to be at least somewhat whack to get involved with that mess.
Perfect comment, co-sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree 100%.
So Brandi is strapped for cash and turned down a half-million job. Yeah, right! The network didn’t want her back.
Brandi needs to be the one not talking in a relationship and maybe it would work. She is still back in high school, always tweeting about I hate him, he’s off, I need a new boy, we’re back on, just had phone sex, I hate him, broke up by text, blah, blah, blah. She’s almost 43. Grow up.
What comments I’ve read about her dating sound like a teenager. A very immature teenager, at that.
What is up with that picture of her with blue eyes?
She tried out some colored contacts. She looks like a different person, right? Not sure if I like it or not.
Howard Stern: best interviewer ever.
The photo with the blue contact lenses scares the crap out of me.
Any woman who would call another woman a c*nt has some serious issues IMO. Why do we use sexual organs as derogatory terms anyway? They are beautiful things that can give us much pleasure. We create love and children with them, on and on.
Interesting.
I find it disturbing when men or women throw that word around so casually.
Me, too. I really really hate that word. It’s like a punch to the gut. It’s so strange how common it has suddenly gotten.
It’s a woman-hating word, and I wish people wouldn’t use it. There are many other words available to describe a horrible person.
I despise that word.
I don’t understand why “douche” or “douchebag” is not viewed as a woman hating word as well.
“The French word “douche” translate to mean “wash,” or “soak.”
A douche is normally used to wash or clean a woman’s lady parts.
When used in the pejorative, the implication is that this person is as despicable etc. as a container/bag that a woman uses to clean her vagina and/or the contents of that container.
This word has become ubiquitous in our daily parlance, but as a woman I find the term to be truly
offensive and sexist.
I use that word and do not have serious issues. It’s an insult I apply to any gender when I feel like using it – same as any curse word. It’s not even taboo in lots of other places. Many people without serious issues use it.
She is also getting a Kris Jenner nose in the top picture
I wonder what the new show is about? Hopefully it will be a satire on the reality show business
If she has so many jobs and is saving money like she has claimed, why is she renting and moving so often?
I realize renting helps take care of the maintenance and isn’t a horrible way to go, but looks like she would want to stay in one place more than a few months. It’s a lot of upheaval for children, unless they view it as some type of new adventure and are used to it.
Though she accused Eddie of it, I suspect she also likes to live above her means. I think she has a bit more sense than the other two, so hopefully she will get things together.
The reason she has moved so often is that Bravo paid for her house ever HW season and so every season she had to get a new place. Now that she is off the show Bravo isnt paying for her house anymore so she has to pay for it herself.
Every year each landlord refused to renew her lease and said they were putting the house up for sale and she had to leave. More like they got tired of all the dog poop in their homes and wanted her out.
Jayna is right, even if Bravo is helping out in some way, that does not explain why she moves every year, plus she bad-mouthed two of her previous landlords and one of them sued her.
Oy vey, this one and her lawsuits/legal issues!
Brandi is always playing the victim. Lisa and her husband Ken were great to Brandi until Brandi wanted to be the star of the show and tried to turn everyone including the fans against Lisa. It not only didnt work but backfired in a big way and so now she has been fired and is blaming others for her own downfall. All Brandi knows how to do is lie and blame others. She never takes responsibility for her own actions. The show will be better without her on it.
Co-sign!!!!
I think it remains to be seen if the show will be better without Brandi, but the work environment for her former co-workers will certainly be better without her mentally unstable presence.
100% agree. I think Brandi legit hates Kyle but she actually regrets screwing up her friendship with Lisa. She’s just calling her a C U Next Tuesday because Lisa won’t forgive her.
To be honest, I appreciate the fact Lisa isn’t so quick to forgive. (She totally cut Cedric out too.) I think it shows she has some self-worth and won’t tolerate toxic people. Not enough women are like that. I just think, on average, we tend to forgive too easily and give too many chances. Cedric and Brandi are toxic people. It’s better to cut people like that out.
RE: Lisa being a master manipulator
She’s just smarter and has more self-control than most of these women. Plus she lacks a personality disorder.
That = master manipulator to some.
I think the reason she’s befriended Kyle again is because they were true friends when the series started. Plus their fallout was more mutual than what Brandi did. Brandi just straight up turned against Lisa simply because Lisa was nice to an employee that slept with Eddie a billion years ago.
Brandi needs help. Serious mental health help
Agreed! Her fight with Lisa seemed so contrived and fake to me. It came out of left field and reeked of ‘look-at-me-itis’. She or Bravo, knew that Lisa was and is a fan favorite, so why not cause drama with her? It would help the show and help Brandi keep her ‘I’m liable to say anything’ cred. But it backfired.
I’ve never been a fan of Kyle. When the series started Kim was of course more famous than she was. She wasn’t thought of as Kyle, so much as Paris’ aunt or Kim’s sister. So she did what most in her family have been doing since Kim was a small child. She used her to get onto the show.
And when she needed the actual Kim on the show, she managed to bring her on, even though she more than anyone else knew Kim had issues. I still can’t get over her not siding with Kim in a fight. I also believe that she and her husband did cheat Kim out of her portion of that house. He’s handsome, but kinda sleazy, IMO.
The interview was great — he straight up called her an a*hole, but he also pointed out what all viewers know: THEY NEED HER ON THE SHOW. I mean, none of the other women are going to mix it up. It’d be like RHONY getting rid of Sonja and Ramona. Or OC dumping Vicki and Tamra.
I listened to the whole interview on my drive yesterday, she actually came across quite well and likable, kind of like the old Brandi. I wish her well.
I didn’t listen, but read the entire transcript on reality tea. I used to like Brandi a lot because she was this single mom trying to make a living for her boys’ sake but then she just got so trashy and vile. She was so embarrassing in the Howard interview. She’s so up and down and all over the place. It started out good but then she spiraled down with the detailed s** talk and stuff. I know it’s Howard and that’s how it goes most of the time, but I was cringing, imagining her boys stumbling on this in the future. Yuck!
The ratings went down every year she was on so her drama never mixed with the show.
The ratings went down on pretty much all of the HW shows, from what I’ve read. I think the series has hit its fatigue point in general. Though, the shows also have all gotten to be about drama, fighting, and not to mention, having a lot of criminals on cast. That may be part of the whole series’ problem as well.
I think that Real Housewives fatigue describes the current environment, but the ratings for Beverly Hills started dropping the season Brandi became a full-time HW and dropped even further the next season, meanwhile the Atlanta show, an older franchise, experienced its highest ratings.
I highly doubt Brandi is the reason for lower rating. That’s silly. We could also say Brandi being on kept the ratings from dropping even further. Let’s be honest that show is such a snoozefest. they have over saturated the market with housewives and people are over it especially with OC, BH and NYC being so similar. Atlanta does well because they keep it fresh and the cast is a lot more likeable even though they can act messy (like the other casts).
I mean None of these shows are actual reality. I hope most people realize that. It’s all scripted and prompted. Bravo paid Brandi to play a certain part and that’s what we are seeing play out.
That top photo has shades of Dina Lohan. Shudders.
In that first pic she looks a little like Mamma Lohan.
I love how she glosses over slapping someone in the face and somehow that makes her the victim of the producers?? If only getting fired meant she would actually go away.
One minute she acts like this is the “real her” and then the next she claims she does it for the show’s sake and because producers prompted her too…
Can’t blame Eddie entirely for this mess.. She got issues
People love Lisa. Personally? I could never stand her. She is textbook phony manipulator. Her popularity is one of my pop-culture gripes. (Stomps feet, folds arms and huffs away!)
😆
With all the money she’s earned so far, one would expect her to buy a house rather than rent and move house all the time?
I’m sure her credit is shit. She’s not responsible about anything else in her life, so one assumes her financial history is less than stellar.
This woman is a mess. I pity her poor boys.
At least Lisa and Kyle have some dignity and class.
I am happy her ass was fired…woman is a supreme bitch.
What the hell does the boyfriend being Jewish have to do with anything? God does she ever NOT come across as a stupid ass****? She’s so done.
“Waaaah waaah waaah trust issues I smacked someone need to rent a house hairy Jewish man”
I completely agree! She is so offensive
+1 She added it to a list of “insults” like being Jewish is a bad thing. She is a vile bigot.
Normally I would pity someone who is cheated on so many times – but I loathe this vile woman. She is disgusting to look at and the fact that she is baffled why a “Jewish” man would cheat on her is all sorts of crazy… wtf does that have to do with the issues in their relationship?
She is as superficial and stupid as she claims the other HW to be. How a guy looks or his wealth have nothing to do with whether or not he will cheat or would be a good person. Man, is that woman annoying.
I don’t like Lisa vanderpump. There. I said it. Her ego is OUT OF CONTROL!!! She was great, but after a taste of fame, she just became way too full of herself. Also, didn’t Brandi make fun of one of the housewives getting fired from the show because of too much plastic surgery?? Um. Hello?
I’m not her biggest fan either, people are way too fooled by the butter wouldn’t melt English accent. She sh*t stirs more than anyone, and her little dog (Ken, not Jiggy!) too! That said she at least doesn’t disgrace herself constantly just to get more camera time. I have no idea what happened w/her and Brandi, the season that’s airing in the U.K. right now she’s still her biggest defender. Brandi has been nothing but a hot mess, turning up drunk as a skunk to a teenager’s graduation party, barfing up her burger and blaming motion sickness! She’s just dumb as a box of rocks, she should have milked the RH gravy train as long as they would have her.
Kyle and Lisa want Brandi off the show, but they keep giving exclusive interviews to TMZ about Brandi.
Most disappointing to me is that she admits to having unprotected sex. In this day and age, with all the knowledge we have about std’s, why would she subject herself to the risk? Better yet, why announce this and then wonder why it’s hard to find a life partner? Brandi needs some serious life coaching. She’s like a 16 year old, defiant, impulsive and a risk taker. Hopefully she’ll use the down time to evaluate where she’s at and where she needs to be in order to live a healthy, financially successful life.
C-U-Next-Tuesday would be a great name for a restaurant. It’s along the same line as TGI Friday.
I would eat in a C-U-Next Tuesday before a TGIF, that place is rank!
They are c*nts. The real issue for LVP and Kyle is they are both failed actresses who thought RHOBH would finally be their starring vehicle and Brandi came along and stole their thunder. THAT is the real reason they do not like her and do not want her on the show. When it comes to Brandi and the viewing public I like the Jenna Maroney quote; “They love to hate me.” How many articles, pieces on blogs and in magazines about LVP and Kyle compared to Brandi??? Brandi wins and they know it.
The b!tch edit is a genuine thing on the HW. Every year, one HW is the recipient of it. If that scores ratings, that HW is left in b!tch edit hell.
