Manzo's lawsuit provides a detailed account of the alleged encounter, claiming that Glanville did not attend a sexual harassment class required of all RHUGT cast members before filming, and that Bravo did not reprimand Glanville for allegedly skipping the class. The alleged incident, which reportedly began after an argument during filming, involved Glanville forcibly kissing Manzo and engaging in other disturbing behavior, causing Manzo to enter 'a state of shock.'
