I hate to say it, but I'm not even sure that Brandi's violence against her castmates contributed to her firing. Lord knows evil Andy isn't above milking women being violent against other women for ratings and branding it a "catfight."

Several weeks ago Andy said something to the effect that Brandi continuing on RHOBH would be a conversation they would have with her.  Before RHOBH and her separation from Eddie she and Jennifer did a show (didn't get picked up) called Model Behavior. It was by the producer of RHOA.  My guess is Brandi will pursue the cheating wives show with the ex-wife of Tori Spelling's husband (she kind of invited herself) or remember the fabulous opportunity she and Leeza Gibbons were pursuing with their 10 minutes of Celebrity Apprentice  fame.

 

Time for Brandi to get a real job.  Her youngest is eight - ten years goes by very quickly.  I wondered why she was previously talking about getting serious with JR - she is tired of working.  I guess the world is tired of hearing about she and Eddie and LeAnn.

Brandi should go to Hollywood Exes. It would be perfect. She already knows Nicole Murphy (Eddie Murphy's ex who knows Carlton) and it's on VH1 where her drama would be suitable and fit right over there. Or she can get a fake relationship and be ready for Couples Therapy 7(?)

Brandi just didnt fit with these women on BH. She would had but her vile actions against everyone in the cast past and present did her in. She did better going on the RHOC. They are the original nasty housewives. Drinking, partying, divorces, blondes, mean girl behavior etc. Right up Brandi's alley! But she doesn't have that kind of cash to live there neither. I doubt even with the smallest home in OC it would be out of her league.

Hope Eddie and Leanne are ready to step their financial games more than ever before. This is going to be a long year for Brandi until she gets the next tv hustle.

Brandi complains she only gets child support based on Eddie's income not LeAnn's and according to her he only works part time..  She said he made $300.000.00 last year.  After her Podcast pay, her Australian magazine column pay, her book advance she would get around 20% offset against the amount of time she has custody and Eddie's contribution to health insurance and the like.  Something tells me Brandi will be spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to wring more money out of Eddie.

Being a "friend of" ended up working wonders for Luann on RHONY, but then again, Luann's infinitely smarter and less volatile than Brandi, so it's unlikely BG will be clever enough to capitalize on the firing/demotion.

Lu was able to rehab her image because she was able to film with pretty much everyone in the cast. Brandi doesn't have that option, because aside from forced events there is no reason any of the other women would want to film with her. Heather in her blog even mentioned something about how she tried to make sure Lu filmed with her as often as possible during Luann's friend of demotion.

Maybe the bell has been rung too soon. . . .Brandi says she will make HER decision on Monday.  http://www.allabouttrh.com/brandi-glanville-denies-reports-shes-leaving-says-she-will-decide-monday/

 

Last year Lisa V., had about a three month period of publicly vacillating about her return.  Specials on E!, tweets, interviews and finally kind of a lackluster announcement- I have a contract.  My guess is Brandi's three year contract is up she is probably asking for Tamra Barney money ($600.000.00) and many other contingencies.  She probably figured if she threw it out there some would stick and she would be in a better place.  So unlike the usual pick up letter for Brandi it is truly a negotiation.  Bravo will not sever all ties with her as there is always the chance she will kill someone or do something newsworthy and they would have a tie.  Most of all I think Brandi wanted a week or better of publicity before the announcement was  made.  Unlike Lisa V, there was always a strong possibility they would not renew.

Y'all need to stop requesting Joanna as a replacement. If you watched her in the second season of rhom that woman and alcohol was an ugly thing. Jmo. Not that I would really want her, but that evil twin sitting on my shoulder thinks it would be hysterical if she was replaced by LeAnn Rimes.........Again. I'll see myself out now.

I wouldn't mind Brandi/Kim/Yo's replacements weren't that connected to the industry or these women. I wouldn't mind a lawyer, doctor, agent or even a stay out home mom. We have 4 actresses so that's your quota. Yet the casting might get another model and socialite to round out the cast.

I just don't see any similarities between the Countess and the skank . First the Luann is not a low class, foul mouthed, drunken piece of trash. She also appears to have genuine friendships with other cast members.All the housewives are flawed.But MOST of the ones that last also have some redeeming qualities. Brandi is just vile. I would love this to teach her something but it wont. Bye bitch dont let the door hit your skank Ass. Oh and that plan to befriend the addict while alienating all the other women? Good Move.

I don't understand the writer's assumption that uncouth and disturbing behavior will be missed . Frankly, I enjoyed the more REAListic format of the franchises. I did not find activities boring such as the Umansky's choking realization that their daughter's entre to college was closing the door to her childhood. I am not irritated by these types of life glimpses. What does irritate me is viewing a mentally lacklustre harpy screeching across my screen.

And, for Brandi's edification, just because one does not behave as a dullard and publicly vomit every personal desire and thought, this does not cause one to be hypocritical. It's called self-control and maturity.

I have a sneaky, sneaky suspicion here.  As of three days ago, Lisa V had still not signed a contract.  I've wondered all along whether part of Lisa's signing rested on whether Bravo rehired Brandi.  Brandi is suddenly out, and I'll betcha Lisa will sign on the dotted line now.

 

In a sense, Lisa had Bravo over a barrel.  They fired Kim and might not have Yolanda.  Having fired Brandi, they may have three spots to fill, not a good thing when two of the regulars are almost new.  Then, if Lisa quit, Bravo would have the majority of the cast to make up, which wouldn't look good to the advertisers, to put it mildly!  Since Lisa is a known commodity to Bravo and has kept two shows afloat for them, I just have this hunch that she flexed her considerable muscle and gave Bravo an ultimatum.  She has good manners, but she's a shrewd businesswoman. We could have Lisa to thank for today's good news!  It wouldn't surprise me at all.

That wouldn't be far fetched. Andy might like Brandi but if he has to choose between his veterans and Brandi he will go where have his bread meets butter. Ever since he assassinated the RHONY after letting Jill go he wont risk another HW show tanking because of his relationships, I mean unless you're Bethenny.

 

I don't think Jill's firing had anything at all to do with New York's ratings. I think that was a combination of viewer fatigue and New York taking so long to come back from hiatus that people simply forgot about it. Jill's firing was actually applauded by fans of the show because she really was bringing the show down with her team mentality. 

 

In Brandi's case, it may be that Lisa V is holding out until they confirm no Brandi. I personally think it is something else though Because I think that Lisa V would love nothing more than to flaunt her friendship with Kyle in Brandi's face if given the chance. Not to mention, she would probably enjoy Brandi groveling and being shunned by everyone were they forced to film with her.

It's Brandi's stupidity and delusional ego that did her in.  She betrayed everyone from Andy, to Adrienne, to Kyle to Lisa.  Status wise, she never fit with the Beverly Hills affluence, yet turned on the people that helped her. I think it is so ironic that she tried to get rid of Eileen.  But it was Eileen and Lisa R that help bring this show out of the Brandi gutter.


I agree she needs to be off the show.

One thing I do find ironic, there are many many pages discussing her. What will people have to talk about with her, and Kim, gone?

Season 1 was fine without Brandi and Kim not being part of the central storyline.

Season 1 was fine without Brandi and Kim not being part of the central storyline.

I think Beverly Hills is a tough franchise to go on as a renter, children not being allowed to film and no discernible career past or present.  There is a big difference even between a Kelly Bensimon and Brandi, modeling career wise.

 

Brandi became incredibly jealous of those around her that had wealth accusing women such as Joyce as "settling for a short, rich man (the guy was 6'0"), if she wasn't jealous she was using them (Carlton, Yolanda and Lisa V.), she didn't fit in because it became lather, rinse, repeat.  I am the truth cannon, I want to be your friend, you are not giving me enough attention, I will make your life miserable and try and destroy you.  I make up stories and then call it a joke or scream louder that you are lying.  I think there is probably a collective sigh of relief of the entire cast past and present that Brandi has decided to throw in the towel.  It is easy to do-just demand $1 million an episode, the firing of all HWs she doesn't get along with and say Bravo didn't accept her demands.    She has been hinting for a very long time there are other offers out there and I do think she needs a vehicle, much like Bethenny had, where the show is about her.  No one was interested in picking up her book as a movie, or TV series and whatever good will she claims she gained from Celebrity Apprentice hasn't really panned out.  What worked against her this time around is she behaved so miserably at the Reunion her return was not a burning question.

Well, the firing of Brandi seems like good news, but I'm a such a sceptic that I don't usually believe rumors even when it comes from several tabloid sources. Until I hear confirmation from Brandi, the remaining cast or Bravo, I won't believe it. I said the same about Jill and Gretchen too -- and happily they were fired in the end.

If it turns out to be true, then I expect Brandi will say it was her decision and then I'm hoping she'll stay true to form and go on to trash Andy and Bravo, and royally burn her bridges so she never returns as a cast member or in small guest appearances.

I could really do without Brandi, but someone will have to fill the villain role 'cuz that's how Andy rolls.

I predict that LisaR will be the next one to open her mouth and let the bugs in.  Last season, she tended to fluctuate between being a bad girl and being more like Eileen.  I predict that with Brandi gone, she'll use her body even more and let the bad words fly with abandon.  The others don't seem to get quite so riled up when they're angry as LisaR does.  Of course, we don't know who Bravo will hire, so maybe one of the new HWs will attract most of the comments, like Brandi did.  Brandi was bad with a capital B, but there are plenty of other Hollywood "ladies" who might be just as bad.  It should be interesting.

Not a shred of sympathy for this vulgar stupid woman. If she had just been a bit shrewder, she could have stayed on as the HW people loved to hate - or even retained her underdog status. I think she is not in control of herself - she isn't crazy like a fox - Tamra from OC is  crazy like a fox.

 

And on the subject, why is she moving yet again. Does she not pay rent because it certainly doesn't make sense for her to make a voluntary move this quickly.

Maybe they should start a Housewives franchise with all the villains that were fired starring Jill Zarin, Gretchen Rossi, Danielle Staub, Brandi and Carlton. And add a dash of crazy to that with KKB to round things out.

The show and the other people on it?  I keep wondering why some think this way. Wasn't there a lot of chatter going on about the show before Brandi came along? Weren't there discussions about the other cast members besides Kim? Kim and Brandi are gone and I am fucking thrilled.

 

The reason there are discussions about those two is because of their crazy ass life outside of this show. Kim is not playing a part on this show, she is a DRUNK, ALCOHOLIC, AND DRUG ABUSER. That shit doesn't stop when the season stops. As for Brandi, she too is not playing a part. She can claim she is playing a role for this show, but her vile antics and behavior outside of this show prove that she is what she is - scum. That is what is being discussed on these individual threads for the most part. With these two gone from the show, it doesn't mean their shenanigans won't stop.

 

 

And once the show starts up we will all be complaining that it's boring

I can speak for myself, thank you. This is not my feeling at all.

 

Brandi was not an original member of this show. I loved the show that it was before that thing came along. I have never been bored of this show and it has nothing to do with Brandi.

I am glad she is gone. I did not find her entertaining. I did not find what she did to Adrienne and her boys entertaining. I did not find the way she treated Joyce entertaining. I did not find the way she tried to come between Kim and Kyle entertaining. I alternate between finding her pathetic and despicable. Also, she was never, and will never be, "Beverly Hills". I think the show will be much better without her and Kim. I agree that, from the current cast, Lisa R will be the one who brings the most conflict next season. I'm actually looking forward to next season now.

I am so glad she is not on the show anymore, but I still feel bad for her regarding the job loss. How is she going to earn money now? I know she did it to herself, but I guess I am a pushover!

 

Vile human being that I am (and having single-handedly raised my own daughter with no financial support from her father), I have not a single fuck to give about how she earns money.

 

I don't even have a clue what she was doing for cash when she married cheater dog Eddie.  Her modeling career was never exactly white hot, so I doubt she was living off of savings from that.

 

Eddie (and by proxy LeAnn) will see to it those children don't do without much in life.

 

Brandi has been pulling in good Bravo money for 4 years.  It's no one's fault but her own she pissed through it on leased cars, leased houses, dreadful plastic surgery, and who knows what else.

 

Brandi Glanville = Not my circus, not my monkey.  And no longer Bravo's monkey, either.   HALLELUJAH!!!

I agree.  If that were the case why not bring on Brandi friendly replacements?  That Janic woman has been begging for a place on the show.  The thing is Brandi doesn't want to share the spotlight with any of her friends.  Having Kristen on RHONYC is close enough and Kristen is a dud.

The idiotic twit NEVER fit in, even when she first joined the cast.

 

Not fitting in wouldn't stop this bitch from collecting a Bravo paycheck.

 

I strongly suspect Bravo simply opted not to renew her contract and she's trying to make it appear as if it were her choice.

 

Wasn't it reported somewhere that Bravo pretty much lets these housewives spin their departures and they don't really challenge it?

 

I would assume in most cases that's because they've humiliated and embarrassed the housewife sufficiently on the show where they allow her that one remaining shred of dignity.

 

Unfortunately for Brandi, she never had a shred of dignity on which to cling.

I love how when trouble strikes, Brandi hits Twitter with full blast.  Pics of kids dancing, laying down, eating lunch.  Ok, that didn't seem to garner enough sympathy, so let's go for the gold.  Pic of her dad and Yolanda!!!  Yeah, that will do the trick.  Everybody will know ONLY Brandi cares about Yolanda.  She needs to get off Twitter, start packing and find a place to live.   Oh, and maybe a job.

No clue, but I just realized Brandi's buddy Jennifer would jump through hoops of fire to score a gig on this franchise.

 

I don't think the network even briefly contemplated bringing in a buddy for Brandi.  She was done...She knew it, the audience knew it, and certainly Bravo knew it.

 

Now back to the mystery question...Which friend is "Janic"?

Yeah, I think several HWs (including Carlton, incidentally) have confirmed it: Bravo doesn't formally tell you you are fired, you just kind of find out when all the other 'wives are told they're being asked back, something along those lines. And then Bravo doesn't really care whether or not you say you left of your own accord. I'm pretty sure a recent example of that was Gretchen on RHOC. They fired her, but then they allowed her to say she left because it was too toxic or some such nonsense.

 

I wonder if part of why there's no official walking papers (generally speaking?) is that it makes it easier to bring a HW back on at the last minute. That's happened on OC, where a new HW bails at the last minute, and then they have to bring back an old HW (Alexis Bellino) at the last minute to film some scenes to compensate for the lost footage.

 

On topic: Brandi definitely didn't fit in the first season she was on, but back then it worked in her favor. Oh how times have changed.

Oh I am pretty sure that Lisa Rinna will give us plenty to talk about and I had lots to say about the first season with Adrienne and Taylor but it was fun snarky things.  Brandi made it go so dark and unfun.  I am looking forward to more lighthearted crud.  Kyle and splits for attention, just how big are Taylor's lips - did she or didn't she say that Camille was insecure or insignificant.  I don't want or need screaming or having deep secrets spilled....

Weren't there rumors of Brandi having a major melt-down on CA?   She admitted to using Xanax & alcohol to cope with the pressure?  Sure doesn't sound like a team player - that sounds very much like DIVA behavior!   Oh I can't do (fill in the blank), I'm having anxiety.    Basically she could only get along with a drugged out Kim, and YO who by her own admission was working with only a small percentage of her brain!    Pretty much anyone of the cast that was coherent, could call her out on her crap, she couldn't get along with.   Anybody who didn't buy her "it was a joke" excuse was her enemy.   

 

When you think about it, RHOBH is probably a relatively easy gig.   I can think of alot of other shows that would be much harder on a day to day basis.  

 

With her income from the show, the money she received from CA, and the other small misc. stuff she did, why did she never purchase a small house?   She simply couldn't afford to buy in the areas as the rest of the women, but she would have been able to afford a condo for herself & her boys.   Her credit must be shot if this was the first time she was able to even lease a car with her dad's signature.   Despite her actions, she is not in her early 20's, and she has relied on her "poor me" sob stories to get help to live a lifestyle she simply can't afford.  She blew whatever money came in on her own vanity.

She posted to twitter to ask people she works with if she is a diva, Donald Trump and Leeza. But I don't think she is a diva or being called one. I think she is a trouble maker. And I think she got it from her family. Continue reading her twitter and you will see her post warnings to her neighbors that he is pissed and taking pictures of people watering lawns and says he is going to report them. 

 

Not debating whether watering lawns is right or wrong, I know there is a drought and rules, but it's not his neighborhood, and he is just a trouble maker also. Hell, he should have stayed home and conserved his own water usage. 

 

But the lasagna fixin to be cooked (that's for those in the pet peeve forum, haha) in the oven that she posted looks really good. Too bad she didn't focus on her hominess during her season instead of her GOTCHA! moments.

 

eta cross posted with you nothowimbusy. I wasn't responding to your post when I posted. I think she probably does have a reputation but I don't think she qualifies as diva material. I think you have to have earned being called a diva. Otherwise you are just a trouble maker or a brat.

Who is "he"?

 

 

Her credit must be shot if this was the first time she was able to even lease a car with her dad's signature.

Brandi has mentioned more than once how it was her dad's credit that she was able to acquire the rentals on all these homes that she has had since her divorce. Brandi puts the blame on Eddie instead of blaming herself. She claims she was "all over Europe" busting her ass working in the modeling world. She was never able to establish credit. Bullshit.

 

Here is a run-down of Brandi's expenses from when she was required to file an Income and Expense declaration with the court:

http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/02/real-needy-housewife-of-beverly-hills-secret-document-exposes-how-brandi-glanvilles-monthly-expenses-totaled-40k-when-she-was-married-to-ex-husband-eddie-cibrian/

 

 

In an income and expense declaration filed as part of their divorce proceedings, Glanville also revealed her home mortgage was $11-thousand.

The breakdown of her expenses were as follows:

    $2K – groceries

    $4K – eating out

    $3K – clothes

    $4K – entertainment, gifts, vacation

    $2K – car payment

    $750 – pilates

    $750 – dermatologist

    $500 – dentist for Brandi

    $480 – housekeeper

At the date of this article, Eddie was no longer required to pay Brandi spousal support, just child support.

I, for one, am so glad this woman is gone. She's just vulgar, trashy, uneducated, and a horrible example of what a woman should be to her sons. These boys will never know how to treat a woman like a lady unless their father and his wife can teach them how to do that. And I have no hope for that. I'm a southern woman with a gentlemanly husband, father, father-in-law and extended family. I'm so very grateful that we were reared to know how to treat people. And this doesn't just apply to the South. There are millions of people in this world who know how to respect women, children, elders, neighbors, themselves, etc.
