In the surprising court fight, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actress Brandi Glanville is accused of improper behavior during the fourth season of the spinoff.
EW studied Caroline Manzo’s lawsuits, which allege that Bravo habitually intoxicated the ensemble and “directed, encouraged, and/or allowed” sexual harassment for ratings.
