These are some newish photos of Brandi Glanville over the weekend in LA. I know what you’re thinking. Don’t even say it. She’s not pregnant. It’s just a weird/unflattering dress. There’s some news about Brandi too – apparently, she’s still a drunk Mean Girl, but when she’s on camera for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she’s been trying to make herself look like the “victim.” This according to Radar. Ugh. I don’t even know what to do about Radar. I honestly prefer Radar to TMZ – I think Radar is the tabloid/gossip outlet of the underdogs, whereas TMZ is all about catering to power and control and access. Lately, Radar has been running what seems like a smear campaign against Brandi Glanville. True, Brandi is no angel and some of Radar’s reports simply read like advanced promotion for the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But there really does seem to be an orchestrated campaign to make Brandi look like a villainess. What gives? So… here’s Radar’s latest hit piece:
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville is telling close friends that she isn’t the mean girl on the show, but claims the other cast members are jealous of her and she’s actually a victim, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported, Glanville, who’s Eddie Cibrian’s ex-wife, has been partying hard during filming recently, and she’s turning into the new mean girl on the reality show. However, Glanville is now going on the defensive and insisting that Taylor Armstrong and the other ladies of the 90210 are jealous of her and making her life hell.
“Brandi is a very smart girl, and when the cameras start rolling, she really turns on the waterworks. Brandi is now claiming that Taylor is insanely jealous of her and making her life hell. Brandi is turning out to be one great actress because when the cameras stop rolling she is a completely different person. Brandi and Taylor both have been drinking a lot when filming. Brandi says she is drinking to cope with all of the ongoing drama, but she is the one who is stirring it up. Brandi is accusing Taylor and Kyle of talking about her behind her back and spreading rumors about her,” a Bravo insider told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Jumping to Brandi’s defense is Lisa Vanderpump, “who inserts herself into every situation. Lisa says she doesn’t have time for the drama, or doesn’t want to get involved. Yet Lisa always seems to be at the center, which she loves. For anyone to believe that Brandi is a victim is ridiculous, she is a very smart and strong girl, she is absolutely no shrinking violet. Brandi was very smart to align herself with Lisa because she is so close to Bravo executive, Andy Cohen. Brandi would love to have her own spin-off show, just like Lisa,” the source says.
“What is absolutely obvious is that Brandi is extremely insecure and very unhappy. It’s truly sad to see,” the source says. “She is a totally different person than she was during the second season and it’s not for the better.”
Obviously, Brandi immediately denied this report via her Twitter, writing: “Radar online has yet another story that is completely untrue about me.I’m not a victim nor an actress,the rest of it is hog wash 2 #suckit. I am an extremely happy lady, fairly secure, don’t think anyone is jealous of me, non-actress, & an all time fun seeker & jokester!!”
I know there are conspiracy theories within conspiracy theories, and some of the theories don’t even involve Brandi’s ex-husband and his new wife. I’ve started to come around to that angle – these inside-RHOBV stories seem too detailed, too involved to be LeAnn plants. It’s something else. I just don’t know what.

I thought Brandi wasn’t coming back this season? Or was that just some BS from LeAnn’a camp?
She’s back fulltime.
Another housewife is supposedly behind all these stories and they seems to be a rehash of the same old stories.
sounds like Taylor (with Kyle’s assistance)
None of these housewives ever come off better the second season, Only the ones that were God awful and have nowhere to go but up come off better the second season. The others go downhill.
She looks like Giselle Bundchen in that second pic.
Eddie sure likes em thin and drawn out, her legs are giving me sour in that last pic.
Yeah, and drama-filled whack-jobs too!
only the one he is with now qualifies for this definition!
Do not like her shoes
Eh, maybe she’s just bloated. I would wear the hell out of a dress like that once a month.
I can totally believe that Taylor and Kyle are jealous of her, they seem like such catty bitches.
I agree that these stories are coming from someone on the show just to drum up drama before the new season starts.
Brandi seems to be losing weight. I know she was always so thin but now her legs are scary skinny.
I think this reeks of jealous and awful duck-lipped Kyle. God she’s the worst
Of course it’s the other girls, it could never be Brandi Miss Golden Girl, I dont’ care either way about the whole LR vs BG bull but didn’t she get popped for a DUI like a yr ago, was she “stressed out” then too. I’m sure she is playing the victim too, that’s what she’s been doing since her marriage fell apart. She picked him, she had 2 kids with him, now hes the ass. Ppl don’t cheat if they’re happy in a marriage, unless they were scum to begin with, how long does it take you to figure that one out? I read this site all the time, never commented until today, Brandi grow up and get a life besides the triad of desperation you’re involved in.
Okay–supposedly you haven’ written before but you are spitting out the same venom as SleazeAnn herself. People do cheat in a marriage even if they are happy in that marriage.. EC just had to prove his manhood and boost his ego by hitting on women. My dad was the same way–but remember EC would NEVER have been kicked out by Brandi just for SleazeAnn’s outing them with the paps. EC and Brandi were going to work on the marriage.But when Brandi found about Scheana via SleazeAnn, that was the last straw and Brandi kicked him to the curb. He had NOWHERE else to go. So SleazeAnn is like a home for the homeless. Last resort-so he’s taking advantage of the desperate little tramp. Spend her money and live it up for a while until he can get a divorce and claim a nice little settlement. That’s why EC is so mad at Brandi–she rejected him and his ego is busted. And now he has to eat crap and live with his career-going-nowhere loser wife. Serves him right! And SleazeAnn too. As to the drinking–90% of the pics you see of SleazeAnn and hosband they have drinks in their hands. Yes, Brandi made a mistake but she sure made the rght choice in getting rid of Eddie Slimes.
I still think you could be SleazeAnn–but then unless she has done some booklearning recently–(after all the little “country princess” hit it “big” when she was just a teen-ager and probably never completed her education as she never has written in completely sentences. Always just “Get a life” or “get over it.”
Now–any other venom you want to spout out?? Like SleazeAnn would say–Get a life!
Also, I dont get how a person who is not a wife to anyone and doesn’t live in Beverly Hills winds up on the show, that just shows how fake the show is and how shallow the “house wives”
Wow–you really sound like SleazeAnn as she is jealous she isn’t on the show instead of Brandi–True–right now SleazeAnn is a housewife in BH. But don’t give up, Sleaze–someone figured they may come up with a show for you–Real Homewrecker and Bogus Moms of Bh. You would fit the bill to a tee. Oh wait–they might not pick you like they did not pick you for xfactor. And then you would be sooo disappointed AGAIN! Concerts are a flop as are your CD sales. Any more gym opening coming up? How about pet store openings? Oh wait–you got rid of your pets, didn’t you. Too busy being a “bonus” mom. And what a good example you are–makeout session with another woman! Real good. SleazeAnn is a psycho!
Have you heard of Basketball Wives(LA and Miami), Baseball Wives, Real HW of Atlanta, Real HW of Orange County, Real HW of New Jersey, Real HW of New York, Mob Wives, Love & Hip Hop, etc…? The use of “housewife”/wife” isn’t just unique to RHOBH. Just because the title contains “housewife” or “wife”, it doesn’t mean that the women are required to be married just to be on the show. When they use the term “housewife”, it’s to describe the lifestyle that these women have been living over some time, not the woman’s current situation. Afterall, in case you haven’t noticed some of the women are divorced and are raising or have raised children from those relationships. In case you haven’t noticed, many of women on these shows don’t actually live in the city where they film. Gloria on Basketball Wives. Before Basketball Wives LA aired, Gloria was on the Miami show even though she was living in LA most of the time.
BTW, before Brandi divorced Eddie, she was a housewife.
Leann is BFFs with Kim K who has a reality tv show. So do you have a problem with Leann’s frienship with the Kardashians because they are fake and shallow? They even operate under the pertense that they are close family who loves one another, yet have you seen the things that they say about each other and it’s public when they do it? Kim K sets up fake relationships and orchestrated a fake marriage/engagement. Before Khloe got her own show, wasn’t Khole filming for the Kardashian show even though she lived in a different city?
If you want to talk about fake and shallow, then let’s discuss how Leann uses charity to promote herself and her marriage to Eddie.
Is that Liz with Brandi?
Good god no, that’s Lisa.
Brandi had tweeted that she believed that Adrienne’s mouthpieces (staff) were behind these stories.
Lisa Vanderpump? The woman above looks far too young to be Lisa.
Yeah I thought it was Lisa. I saw a pic from the front but now can’t find it.
I came by my dislike of Brandi from RHOBH. She’s a tacky classless bee-otch amoung tacky classless bee-otches and I’m sure in the context of the show she won’t come off well except to her stans. Still I’m betting Bravo themselves are feeding this crap to Radar to stir the pot on the show and amp up publicity.
So you’re telling me that someone who participates in a Real Housewives programme is tacky?
Heavens, mln, now there is coffee all over my monocle.
🙂
I can’t like her either. Maybe people are jealous of her but I don’t get it. She’s only a couple of years younger than Kyle and Taylor. She has the preying mantis look to her emaciated body and the baboon cheeks from fillers or implants. Top it off with the drunken white trash personality – I’m jealous!
Cheek implants or filler? Seems like someone recently accused “she who will remain nameless-and clueless” of having done the exact same thing!! Another case of copying Brandi? I don’t think Brandi has had that done as she has looked the same for quite some time!
So does she have Rimes-copied implants, or does she have no implants?
You can’t have all your bitch-cake and eat it too.
Anyway, it’s obvious she has had them. So I’d go with your copycat whine, this time.
@zelda–Why does anyone think Brandi had implants at all? Some people DO have high cheek bones. We know SleazeAnn did not always have them so obviously she has had implants there. Get off Brandi’s butt! As far as the “copycat whine” remark–we know that SleazeAnn has copied Brandi all the time as she is so envious of Brandi. So stuff it!
Brandi is part Native Indian and hence has always had high cheekbones.
@Sal–Thank you! You are right about the native Americans having high cheekbones! So Brandi’s is natural–and Sleaze’s is –just copying as usual!!
Aren’t they all?
Love this woman but someone tell her to put on a few pounds. The skinny is adding years to her face and figure.
Maybe she is proving that she is a better actress than other people who shall remain nameless and careerless!!
…and clueless.
Pretending to be a victim? You mean she hasn’t been pretending to be a victim all this time? I am shocked to my inner core!
I think all of radar’s articles of late are for promotional buzz and probably posted by the show.
It’s something Brandi will have to counter by attending the Church of the Holy Kardashians or claiming she’s actually John Travolta’s love child…..something easier to believe than Radar’s rants.
@Rita – “It’s something Brandi will have to counter by attending the Church of the Holy Kardashians or claiming she’s actually John Travolta’s love child…”
Hearing what we’ve heard about John Travolta lately, that would be some shocking news.
Now you’ve got me imagining what the interior of the Holy Kardashian’s church would look like… Stained glass portraits of Kris as Mother Mary, holding baby Kim? A conspicuously deep offering plate?
No one likes her dress? I think it’s cute! Both her and Lisa look great in these photos.
As for the stories, Brandi’s on the right track with thinking these are coming out of Adrienne’s camp, IMO. Adrienne has that chef who attacks the other HWs thru his blog and such. And a few people have pointed out elsewhere that she has been communicating a lot with Radar, and even tweeted Perez Hilton the other day that she had something to tell him. So she’d be my guess. BUT, Dana Wilkey also seems to be obsessed with Brandi, and obsessed with trashing Brandi unprovoked. Being the desperate fameho she is, I wouldn’t put it past her either.
I hope they give Adrienne the heave-a-ho soon, she is soo trashy and nasty. She is ugly and boring with no taste. I never liked her on the show. There are hundreds of women with money in B.H and much more interesting. the producers need to upgrade.
I agree–I love the dress! Guess who will be wearing one JUST like it soon! She who will remain nameless–and clueless!
Imo, the best candidate for the inside gossip about Brandi is, believe it or not, Lisa.
Think of it, who is the least likely candidate – the housewife who comes across as the most respectable and classy of the bunch. The same person who appears to be close with Brandi although they share nothing in common. I think Lisa plays the game very well. She doesn’t come across as the type who will readily let someone else share or take over the spotlight.
There is one part of the reunion show that has always stuck out in my mind. It is when Lisa is accused by Adrienne of selling stories to Radar. Lisa very carefully chose her words during her denial and she specifically focussed on the sale of stories for money. I’m sure she is telling the truth, she doesn’t sell stories, she doesn’t need the money, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t give stories to Radar for free.
Besides, is Radar going to give any credence to any of the other housewives. Taylor seems to have developed quite the addiction to alcohol and is spiralling out of control. Kim is a recovering addict. Camille is off the show. Dana, has never seemed overly invested in the show, and has likely moved on. Kyle perhaps. The new girl, unlikely. Who does that leave?
I think they would give credence to anyone with what they think is a “juicy” gossip story – I doubt they care less who is an addict, an alcoholic, etc. It’s all about who’s got the trashiest gossip, true or not.
I don’t think it’s Lisa. Many of the stories are also very anti-Lisa. Why would she sell stories talking smack about herself?
I have my suspicions that adriene is behind the stories as Brandi deleted that comment in which she outed her. Maybe she was bullied into deleting it by Adrienne’s lawyers. Hard to say. Adrienne seems like a major B****. Or maybe it’s that annoying, too pathetic for words Taylor. Its a certainty that whoever is behind these false stories have no life and reek of jealously. How is it possible that radar are able to print such trash and not get sued. I don’t read their stories as I refuse to add hits to their website, but I see what people tweet regarding the RHOBH stories .Obviously jealously is eating up a few hw’s, a has been yodeller and her serial cheating hubby. The more they try to destroy her, the better she comes off. She’s a very strong, secure, happy go lucky individual. That’s winning in my book.
Speaking of book–wonder when Brandi’s book is coming out? Can’t wait!!!
“What is absolutely obvious is that Brandi is extremely insecure and very unhappy. It’s truly sad to see,” the source says. “She is a totally different person than she was during the second season and it’s not for the better.” –
Isn’t this the exact same line of crap they use every time they write about Brandi? Ive seen that same quote from the ‘source’ used in three different stories so far.
Really people. Is it to much to ask for that if your going to print exaggerated LIES you at least have the decency to make up new ones for your BS stories *rolls eyes*
I went back and re-read the story and you are right–same old lines about “insecure and unhappy” and also heavy drinking. Talk about same old crap! Hang in there, Brandi! We don’t believe them!
Great pics of Brandi. She is so damn beautiful when she doesn’t wear a ton of makeup. Just stunning.
I think she’s really pretty, as long as she stays moderate with the botox/filler thing. Anyhoo…I think she could still get some jobs swimsuit modeling, for sure: http://www.celebuzz.com/photos/brandi-glanville-flaunts-figure-in-blue-monokini-on-the-beach-in-los-angeles/11brandi-glanville-monokini-042312/
Thanks for posting that site–Brandi is absolutely beautiful in those pics! Much better body than she who will remain nameless–and clueless!
I don’t understand how people can label LeAnn as anorexic when she has more meat on her bones than Brandi, and a lot more muscle tone, particularly in her arms.
Look at Brandi’s legs, they are like tooth pics. She has no muscle tone whatsoever. In her bikini shots her ribs show when she stretches. I’m not talking about just the current shots either. Yes, she is naturally thin, but if u google pics of Brandi when she was with Eddie, she was a healthier weight. Still slim, but with more meat on her bones.

To even suggest that Brandi is pregnant in this shot, is ridiculous, and exactly the reason why so many women feel they need to be stick thin.
@Vesper Leann has put on weight. At one time though she was getting extremely skinny. There is no denying that. That is what people are referring to when it comes to her looking anorexic. As for Brandi’s weight, she’s always been thin and as you age, your skin gets loser. Brandi IS skinny!!! But she does eat. Trust me, I’ve seen it myself. She just doesn’t put on weight. Makes me want to strangle her. 🙂
@Vesper – “I don’t understand how people can label LeAnn as anorexic when she has more meat on her bones than Brandi…Look at Brandi’s legs, they are like tooth pics.”
I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who felt this way. To me, she’s on the wrong side of the ‘skinny’ wall, where it starts to look unhealthy. Her legs especially, but in those bathing suit pictures, her midsection/back caught my attention. I’ve always been very naturally thin, but (as a woman) have still had body fat in *some* places. I’m not saying Brandi necessarily has a disorder, but there really is something that needs to change in order for her to be healthy.
“To even suggest that Brandi is pregnant in this shot, is ridiculous, and exactly the reason why so many women feel they need to be stick thin.”
I don’t think she looks pregnant, though I do think certain dress cuts could be blamed for creating an illusion. It’s why I refuse to wear *anything* empire waisted because the *one* time I did as as an adult, a girl behind the counter of a store asked me, who weighed 105lbs at the time, when I was due. (May I say, a question that should never be asked of someone unless it definitely looks like they’re carrying a basketball under their outfit, just to be safe’)
@vesper–Go back and look at the pics of SleazeAnn sitting on Brandi’s blanket at the soccer game–then tell me SleazeAnn’s legs are nice looking. They are weird shaped and no muscle tone at all. True her arms may be more developed but look at her shoulders in her bikini pics. Broad shoulders like a mans.!
I like her attitude , she seems down to earth and has had to deal with a lot from the crazy toothpick
Hoping Bravo comes up with the REAL HOMEWRECKERS & BOGUS MOMS OF B.H.
The sad thing being that (aside from the candidate we’re all already thinking about), there would be SO many more applicants. =_=
Yup–with “She who will remain nameless and clueless” being the first to apply as she is so desperate to be in the spotlight! And then IF she wasn’t hired, trying to diplomatingly bash the ones who were hired!
Off topic- but I saw Lisa at Zara in OC last Friday wearing the exact outfit she is wearing in these pictures..she’s just as funny irl!
So after ROL writes a fluffpiece about Leann Rimes running on a treadmill, another negative article about Brandi is released from ROL?
It’s not hard at all for Camp Leann to get inside details about what is happening on RHOBH. Weren’t Brandi and Eddie involved in a disagreement about the boys being on the show for the 3rd season? Does anyone know how this turned out? Did Leann and Eddie give Brandi permission to allow the boys on the show or did Bravo and Brandi give into Leann and Eddie again? If the boys are not going to be on the show for season 3, then it’s likely that Leann is gaining the information by having Eddie and her team of lawyers preview the footage to makesure that the boys weren’t on it. Leann did it last year as evidenced by the fact that she would show up in public sporting something that Brandi was wearing during the taping of the show before the episode even aired.Pay close attention to what Leann is wearing during ROL run of negative stories about Brandi on RHOBH because if Leann’s outfits closely match what Brandi wore during the taping, then it’s obvious who was feeding ROL the information.
This could all be promotions for the show orchestrated by Bravo, Adrienne’s revenge, or Camp Leann, but what stands out the most is that ROL negative stories about Brandi are always tied to positive stories about Leann and Eddie, which are posted just days before/after they do the negative stories about Brandi. And the comments from the “source” are the very same things that we have seen used by Camp Leann to defend Leann. So is ROL patrolling the tweets and blogs and copying the comments by made by Leann fans? Or is Adriene using Leann as scapegoat?
Please-do we really need to hear how happy SleazeAnn Slimes and her hosband are?? Well how happy Sleaze is anyway? We know EC is not happy unless Lizzie is nearby. Still hoping he has FUN during the taping of his upcoming tv movie. Josie is gorgeous! And has a really great body and is a more mature woman than teeniebopper Sleaze! GO EDDIE!!
ROL must have contacted Brandi last week about this article because she tweeted something about being bullied by Adriene’s mouthpiece last Thursday. But what I find interesging is that on the day that Brandi finds out that ROL is going to write yet another negatie article about her; Leann started tweeting about Brandi’s son’s birthday party like crazy, how she was attending the back to school night for the oldest boy; and gave an radio interview where she said that Brandi’s sons call her “mom”. So is the purpose of these “Brandi is mean and drinking alot” stories from ROL to make Brandi look like a bad parent and therefore justify Leann’s antics with the kids(ie-calling herself the kids mother during a radio interview/calling herself “mom” in her tweet to Brandi) and of course to provide the proof to support Leann and Eddie’s decision to not allow the boys on the show.
The negative stories from ROL could all be promotion for RHOBH, but then how does one explain that ROL’s intent to write this negative story about Brandi, orginated last week on the very same day that Leann needed to usurp Brandi’s role as the kid’s mother because Brandi’s son was having a back to school night at his school and then a birthday party over the weekend and Leann was using her relationship with the children to do promotions for her album?
@why–Sure wish Sleaze would just dry up and blow away. Her “MOM” tweets are just plain sickening! I’ve heard that she doesn’t consider her step-mom as a bonus mom. How would she like it if her step-mom gushed about being her mommy!
As for her using her relationship with the kids to do promotions for her album–how low can a person stoop! Won’t help as far as album sales as her last one was soooo successful–not! But to use the kids is absolutely sickening. My nickname for her really fits–SleazeAnn Slimes!
I’m sure Eddie is continuing his behavior of cheating on the set. I bet he is living it up, happy to be free from the whining narcissism of LR for a few hours a day. I also agree that it is LR putting out all the constant negative stories on Brandi. None of the other housewives would do it to this extent. This constant bashing of Brandi in tabloids is LR’s addiction. She loves to bash Brandi and then play the “good” step-mom. I think she is so obessed with Brandi, and plants these stories to make herself feel better and to help her own p.r. She can’t be happy knowing Eddie is on a project with a beautiful woman every day.
Brandi is more popular than SleazeAnn and EC combined. She is a strong person who puts her kids first as shown by her tolerance of Sleaze and her antics. As far as her hard drinking–EC always has a drink in his hand (except for the gym appearance) and he looked reallllly happpy (not) being there. Wish ROL would get off Brandi’s case! They have their noses so far up Sleaze’s butt!
I really like Brandi on this show she’s pretty cool. I buy that Taylor is jelly she’s prob intimidated by Brandi’s personality and looks. They have similar look/type but Brandi is waaaayyyy prettier Why is Taylor even on the show shouldnt she be in therapy ????
I wish Brandi would marry Darin and they would use the money from the show to ride off into the sunset with their combined family. Brandi doesn’t need the kind of attention she’s getting from this show. Darin seems to truly love her and I think she loves him, too. Move far away and let Leann adopt a kid of her own if Eddie’s been clipped. She is just ridiculous already.
Radaronline wrote another fluffpiece about Leann Rimes! Since people predicted that ROL was gearing up to release another fluffpiece about Leann and Eddie, ROL attempted to disguise their current fluffpiece by making it a part of a write up about celebs who wear bikinis and who were married before the age of 25. Interesting, why are these negative stories about Brandi always preceded or followed by positive stories about Leann and Eddie? Is someone setting up Leann to make it look like she is responsible for these negative ROL stories about Brandi? Or is this Leann’s way of gloating because she has gotten a media outlet that was once pro-Brandi to turn on her?Remember Star’s article about how Eddie was still sleeping with Brandi after he had went public about his relationship with Leann? And how Leann pretended to be Eddie and posted an article on the ethics of journalism to his twitter account to reprimand Star for daring to expose Eddie’s lack of loyalty to Leann?
