Brandi Glanville remains one of the most talked-about “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“ alums. She appeared on the show for five seasons before leaving in 2015. Now, in a new interview, the controversial reality star is opening up about whether or not she’d consider returning to the show that made her a public figure.
Glanville hosted the TMZ “Bus Brunch” with her podcast co-host, James Maas, in late May 2026. In an interview posted by the outlet on June 1, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star was asked whether she’d return to save the show.
She began, “I love that… save the show.” After that, Glanville firmly stated that she would not return to the long-running Bravo series. According to her, “I would not go back. I feel like there are so many other shows.”
After that, she shared that she’d love to participate in a game show and other content that “won’t hurt people’s lives,” claiming that “the ‘Housewives’ have turned into going to jail and ruining lives. I don’t want to do that. I want to have fun with ya’ll.”
Brandi Says ‘Housewives’ Is Different Now
Glanville continued the short TMZ interview during her hosting gig by refecting how how much the format of “Real Housewives” has changed. She stated, “It was hard when I was on it, but no one was going to jail. Everyone’s going to jail. Everyone’s getting their life ruined, and wives are getting divorced.
When questioned about the jail aspect and why so many “Housewives” have been arrested, she responded, “Because narcissists sign up for ‘Housewives’ even though they’re criminals like Jen Shah.” From there, she wondered why people with criminal involvement would put themselves in a position to be exposed on a show.
‘RHOBH’ Fans Say Bravo Wouldn’t Ask Brandi Glanville Back
Glanville has had a contentious relationship with Bravo and Andy Cohen since 2023. This came after she filmed “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco.” During the production of this show, Caroline Manzo accused her of sexual assault and then sued the network months later, leaving Glanville in professional limbo.
Because of this, fans are reacting to her recent interview, claiming that Bravo would never have her back on the network. One person wrote, “They don’t want you back.” Someone else said, “Bravo would not ask her to come back, believe me.”
Another “RHOBH” fan wrote, “She burned that bridge.” However, Glanville does have fans who’d like to see her return to the show. One of them said, “Beverly Hills needs Brandi right now. The ladies are boring without her stirring the pot.”
A different social media user stated, “Brandi is so tragic to me. I hope what Caroline accused her of isn’t true, but it’s also sad if it’s not, and now she can’t work in television.”
Brandi Previously Accused Andy Cohen of Sexual Harassment
As mentioned, Manzo filed her sexual assault and harassment lawsuit against Bravo in January 2024. The following month, according to Variety, Glanville and her legal team took similar actions. However, she accused Cohen of sexual harassment in a lengthy letter.
In it, she claimed that Cohen, who was said to be “inebriated,” sent her a video message detailing “his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via FaceTime.” She stated in the letter that she felt “trapped” and “disgusted” by the message.
Cohen later responded to the accusation, saying the video was “very clearly” intended as a joke by him and “Below Deck” star Kate Chastain. He added, “It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke. That said, it was totally inappropriate, and I apologize.”
Brandi Has Mostly Remained Consistent About Returning To ‘RHOBH’
Glanville has been asked multiple times about potentially returning to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” For the most part, her answer has remained consistent. In a 2017 interview, she noted how much better her life had become after the show.
Per US Weekly, she said at the time, “I think my life right now is in a better place. I have a boyfriend, so it’s different now. I think when you’re single on the show, people just come for you ’cause there’s no man there to have your back. … I’ve been yelled at by the men.”
Still, appreciated what the show gave her. She added, “I think you take the good with the bad. It was a great platform. I have my books, I have my wine. I wouldn’t have any of that if it weren’t for ‘Housewives.’”
