Caroline Manzo is speaking out about her lawsuit against Bravo and why she did not instead sue the women who allegedly assaulted her.
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star explained on the September 1 episode of Legally Goff why she sued Bravo, Peacock, and production companies over an alleged incident involving Glanville during filming of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco.
“I sued all the corporate entities. I didn’t sue Andy. I didn’t sue Brandy,” Caroline explained. “It’s about the atmosphere and what it’s become, and not about the people.”
Caroline Manzo says she has “no malice towards Brandi” and that she actually likes her, but believes Brandi is “broken” and says she’d like to fix her.

Caroline has alleged that Brandy pinned her against a bathroom door, locked the door and forced herself on her during production. Brandy has previously disputed accounts surrounding the incident.
Caroline said she still struggles to discuss what happened.
“I can’t [say what really happened] … cuz I can’t,” she said. “I’m still working through it.” She also became emotional while explaining why she agreed to return to the Bravo world in the first place.
After receiving a huge response from fans at BravoCon, Caroline said Andy Cohen called her and pitched Ultimate Girls Trip as something different.
Due to Brandi’s health condition/the alleged SA allegations against her, she has not been able to work for 2 years. She said she had 3 shows lined up after RHUGT but they all cancelled.

“This isn’t housewives. This is fun. This is different,” Caroline remembered Cohen telling her.
She ultimately agreed after learning the trip would be in Morocco and recognizing a few cast members, including Vicki Gunvalson, Alex McCord and Phaedra Parks.
“And I said, ‘Okay,’” Caroline recalled. “And that’s it.”
