Butler On ‘Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ Sues Bravo, Claims He Was Sexually Assaulted By Brandi Glanville & Phaedra Parks

Marco Vega, the butler on the second season of Peacock‘s The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, filed a lawsuit alleging he was sexually assaulted by cast members Brandi Glanville and Phaedra Parks.
The suit filed on Friday in the state of New York lists as defendants Bravo, Forest Productions, Warner Bros., NBC Universal, Shed Media and Peacock.
Vega appeared in the second season of the series that brings in Real Housewives cast members from across the franchises. The second season was dubbed “Ex-Wives Club” and it featured the former housewives on a getaway to Dorinda Medley’s Blue Stone Manor in Massachusetts.
The suit states that Vega was hired as the butler for the show and “it was Ms. Glanville who on RHUGT in the Berkshires sexually harassed and abused MARCO VEGA.”
“Defendants had overwhelming prior notice of Ms. GLANVILLE’s prior deviant sexual proclivities and sexually harassing conduct,” reads the suit. “However, despite this knowledge, Defendants wrongfully continued to hire GLANVILLE for their shows. Defendants allowed, condoned and even encouraged Ms. GLANVILLE’s sexually aggressive and offensive conduct on others on the sets.”

Additionally, the suit states, “Defendants further encouraged other housewives such as Phaedra Parks and others to become inebriated and sexually harass others. As a result of Defendants’ actions and inactions, Ms. GLANVILLE and Phaedra Parks sexually abused and harassed MARCO VEGA causing him
