Brandi Glanville is a former main and recurring cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She also appeared as an "All Star" on the second and fifth seasons of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.
Casting[]
Glanville joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during its second season as a ‘Friend of the Housewives’ (in a recurring role). She was then promoted to a main role (a ‘Housewife’) in the third season and continued in this capacity until the conclusion of the fifth season. Glanville was not asked by the network since producers felt that she wasn’t getting along well enough with some of her co-stars. While she was upset to be dropped from the show, she was grateful for the opportunity.
Glanville did make a ‘Guest Appearance’ in the sixth season of the show as she appeared in a pre-recorded segment of the ‘Reunion Special’ to give her take on the season’s events and to give a few words to her former co-stars. She then made another ‘Guest Appearance’ in the ninth season as she was filmed having a meal with Denise Richards; a star on the show who joined that season, and then made sporadic appearances in the tenth season after alleging that she and Richards had become intimate one night. Richards’ relationship with Glanville, her marriage and her character were all placed under the microscope for the main season storyline which Glanville appeared within but the pair were never on-camera together to confront whether what Glanville had alleged was true or false.
Since the main show, Glanville has appeared in two seasons of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. Both seasons were also known as "The Ex-Wives Club" where former ‘Housewives’ from four to five American installments of The Real Housewives were bought together and holidayed in The Berkshires and Morocco, respectively. Glanville was joined by former co-stars, Taylor Armstrong (in the show’s second season) and Camille Grammer (in the show’s fifth season). The latter season has been left unaired since Glanville was involved with an incident with former The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Caroline Manzo, which left Manzo feeling extremely uncomfortable and caused both former ‘Housewives’ to file separate lawsuits against network, Bravo, for the “toxic” and “alcoholic” environment that they were put in which led to this incident.
Elsewhere, during Glanville’s time of starring on the Beverly Hills installment of the franchise, she made a ’Guest Appearance’ on The Real Housewives of New York City during its sixth season as she had lunch alongside co-star, Yolanda Hadid, and two cast members of the installment, Carole Radziwill and Kristen Taekman.

Brandi makes a return to the show when she has a meal with Denise Richards; who she has recently met through a mutual friend. With Brandi describing Denise as "crazy awesome" and authentic since "what you see is what you get", Denise finds Brandi "awesome and crazy fun". Brandi mentions how she has been mentioned in the press again for allegedly punching someone despite not being at the venue at the time when she was accused to have attacked someone. This leads her onto saying how she wouldn’t punch anyone despite slapping a "sweet, old British lady". This leads Denise onto filling Brandi in on what has been going on in the friendship circle and how Lisa Vanderpump has been iced out from the group since the majority of the women feel that she has leaked a story to Radar Online. Brandi gives her verdict and believes Lisa Vanderpump definitely leaked a story to the press since she knows, from experience, that Lisa would get out what she wants out. Brandi says that she likes younger blondes (mentions herself in a list with Denise and Dorit) and will drop you if she feels you have crossed her. While Brandi doesn’t believe she ever crossed Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Vanderpump believes she has. Brandi also reveals that she is still great friends with Kim Richards and the latter rang the former to say that she didn’t like Denise as they clashed over the feud between Kim and Lisa Rinna at one of Kyle Richards' parties. Denise acknowledges it was a bad choice and bad timing but doesn’t seem to care that much as she just wanted them to move on from their years long feud.
