Brandi Glanville on her hookups: ‘I’m a little older than the girls here, so I have needs’

2016 ABC's Mother's Day Luncheon - Arrivals
None of us are yet watching that new E! reality show, Famously Single, with such luminaries as Brandi Glanville, Aubrey O’Day, Calum Best and Pauly D. That may change at some point as I hear more details about it. Glanville is clashing with other castmembers, as is typical for her on reality shows, and she also hooked up with Calum Best at some point, as is also expected from her. I would say this is her reality show persona, but given the times she’s kissed and told, and fought with people for petty reasons, it seems more like her general persona. Us Magazine has details of tonight’s episode, and apparently Brandi keeps a lot of guys handy for booty calls because she “has needs.” She denies that they’re casual though. Hmmm.

“I’m a little older than the girls here, so I have needs,” Glanville says. “So I have guys that I have sex with, but we know it’s going to be good sex, and we’re not going to be a couple, and it is what it is. It’s not casual because I know them, and we’re friends, but we know it’s going to be good, and [we] have needs too.”

[Relationship counselor Dr. Darcy] Sterling wants to know whether the fact that she’s a celebrity makes her more inclined to reach out to guys from her past.

“Most of the guys that I fool around with — like I say, I recycle,” the former model says. “I dated them at some point.”

As for whether her men are single, Glanville explains: “When they’re not, we completely respect each other. I don’t even talk to them. And the same with me — when I get a boyfriend, I’m like, ‘Sorry, guys.'”

Last month, the reality TV star revealed that she had started dating the Uber driver who she met when he arrived to give her and her friends a lift.

[From US Magazine]

I’m the same age as Brandi, 43, and I don’t have any friends with benefits happening because that’s not my style. The hookup time for me was in college, not in my 40s, because I can’t be bothered with that b.s. at this point. I also don’t engage in petty arguments with my friends and acquaintances like Brandi, but she’s getting paid for that somewhat so I get why she plays it up on camera. It seems like Brandi is stuck in her early 20s in so many ways, including her fashion sense. If she wants to get hers and everything is safe and understood more power to her though I guess.

    Good for her for speaking plainly about this. She has a high sex drive and she isnt in a relationship, so whatever.

  2. Embee says:

    Good on her. Very mature explanation of her approach to meeting her sexual needs. Would have loved a “safe sex” comment but I’m not going to nit pick. This was non-sensational and might help normalize the concept of female sexuality.

  3. Christine says:

    Yes good for her for trying to normalize that women have needs. Here’s what I want to say: I wish she would stop messing with her face. Is it not the height of irony that the more she messes with it, the older she looks?

    • Tate says:

      She really needs to stop messing with her face. It is giving her a very hard look and yes, making her look older.

      • Arock says:

        She’s starting to look like the Maloof lady, scale it back.

      • CareBear says:

        yeah seriously! she has total cat face on at full force now!! Like a bad facelift job from the 90s. Incomprehensible why she looks this way with all the options available now. does she rely solely on Groupon for her injectibles?

      • JudyK says:

        She used to be pretty. Too much plastic surgery has aged her and given her hard, manly features.

      • Arock says:

        How long do you think til she and Caitlin are indistinguishable

  4. Jana says:

    I’m also 43, and newly divorced after being married to my college sweetheart for over 20 years. I didn’t have the sexual exploration phase in my 20’s, because I married young. Now that I’m single, I’m enjoying my newly emerging sexuality. Probably not nearly to the extent Brandi is, but it’s definitely new for me and I’m having a great time. There’s nothing wrong with it, as long as it’s safe.

    • cherrypie says:

      Sorry about your divorce Jana. But kudos to you for exploring your new found sexuality! AS for me I was a riot in my 20s being away at college and no longer under my parents’ strict rules…boy did I enjoy myself (responsibly of course). Looking back I dont regret that time in my life one bit. Im now married and settled sexualy so to speak and happy for my experiences. Lol. Im all for a woman having an active sexuality, as long as its safe

  5. Anners says:

    Why does she always look like an aging ice skater?!

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      Costume-y dress choice and near theater ( or in her case, runway model) make up so the balcony can discern her features.

    • Insomniac says:

      Haha, that white dress really does look like she raided the Olympic locker room during the ladies’ skating final.

    • John Wayne Lives says:

      She’s white trash with money.

  6. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    She could get away with the 20-something set’s style if she would choose less adorned & ornamented garments because they scream for attention. She can go short hem and look great if she chose simple, well fitting/ draped, great colored shorter dresses. I’m imagining Calvin Klein or other minimalist designers.

    And for god’s sake, stop messing with your face, and take out those extensions! Collarbone length bob or layered cut would fantastic. Yikes.

    • gwen says:

      She’s got a great figure and long legs for pants but I think she should stay away from those short skirts she chooses to wear due to her old saggy knees.
      And yes, please stop messing with your face, lighten up on the makeup and yes, lose those ratty extensions.

  7. aims says:

    I agree that she seems stuck in her 20’s. If she has an understanding with her “friends ” then I don’t have a problem with this. It’s not something I’d be interested in, but whatever. I’m a very independent person, I can’t handle needy people. I’m just better by myself and I married the right guy, because he knows this and isn’t demanding or blows up my phone when I’m outside.

  8. QQ says:

    Meh! of ALL the mountain of offensive stupid sh*t she says this one is not one I’m shading her for, Also for the sake of my Sanity This RIDICULOUS sex drive/needs in my mid 30s better clamp tf down SOON I cannot take another 15 years of basically walking around scumbagging it up, hassling my S.O about “when Is Next cause Next Could be Now”

    • Kip says:

      for real, what is it about the 30’s!? i’m in my mid-30’s now and it’s like i’m always up for it, inconvenient af! i’m sick of hassling my s.o., i feel like a teenage boy.

      • JenniferJustice says:

        pffft….wait til’ ya’all hit your 40s. I’m just laughing at you two – sorry, but you have no idea how much worse it gets in your 40s. Teenage boy my a$$ – more like full on Species chick – off the charts need to mate!!!

      • SpecialK says:

        JenniferJustice: Lawds yes. 41 and feel like an 18 year old boy. My husband thinks he’s won the lottery.

    • Jess says:

      Thank god it’s not just me! Lol, I’m in my mid 30’s and yowza is it different than my 20’s, everything is 10 times better and more intense, it’s awesome😃

  9. Adele Dazeem says:

    I’ve got to hand it to her…with no discernible “acting resume” that I am aware of, she has “worked” consistently in the reality genre and seems to be thriving. While I’ve never watched one of her shows and really know nothing of her other than the Leann Rimes debacle, I appreciate her ability to continue to support herself.

  10. Colette says:

    If I was a 13 year old I wouldn’t want my mom talking about her f#ck buddies but I guess her kids are used to it.

  11. Jess says:

    I actually caught the first episode and Brandi was the only normal one there, she was sticking up for a guy when one of the other women was really mean to him for no reason, she called her out and said she shouldn’t treat people like that. I thought Brandi acted mature about the whole fight and tried to stop it, I was shocked by her good attitude honestly, she seems really normal and reminded me of some of my girl friends. I didn’t really watch her on the housewives so I don’t know about her behavior there, but I’ve heard plenty and maybe she’s changed a little. I’ll watch more “famously single” on demand when I get a chance.

    As for her hook ups, I say go for it. Women definitely have needs and we shouldn’t be ashamed to admit it. I like how she’s not afraid to curse or be open with her sexuality, it’s not the 1950’s!

  12. KittenFarts says:

    Her & I have a guy/hook up in common. A part of me is disgusted & another is just sad that he looks for love in all the wrong places.

  13. jenn12 says:

    I’ve always liked Brandi, and I applaud her open attitude towards women and their sexual needs. Being in your 40s doesn’t mean you’re in a coma. However, sometimes it seems like all she has to talk about is sex and sexual needs. It gets onanistic (pun intended). And tone it down a little for your kids’ sakes- they’re not babies and they don’t need to know all this. Bad enough their dad and stepmom practically have sex in front of them.
