Just received this interview with Brandi Glanville for Gossip Girl. I have some thoughts. Be sure to read the entire interview at Gossip Girl because I am just going to hit a few highlights. My comments will be in purple after the actual Q&A
Gossip Girl: Is there drama with your ex to clear up?
Brandi Glanville: The gossip is ongoing. We co-parent, we have two amazing little boys, and we get along. We have our issues. We have two different households, two different sets of rules, so we have to talk because of our kids. But what you’re seeing on Housewives right now was four months ago.
TT: It must be a struggle for Eddie and LeAnn to get along with someone who is constantly shitfaced on TV. Say what you will about Eddie and LeAnn but I don’t see either of them falling down drunk in the tabloids. Sure LeAnn has had some strange moments on stage…but not as bad as say Mariah Carey. Eddie has enough sense to keep the boys off of RHOBH despite the fact that Brandi wants to have them on to be like the other moms. Most of the RHOBH viewing audience is perplexed that Eddie has not sought full custody. Perhaps he is waiting for the rehab stint to bolster his case even further? Those poor boys must be going through hell at public school everyday. I bet if Eddie had full custody, LeAnn would spring for private (perhaps boarding, but still…) school. Either would be preferable to the boys being exposed to Brandi’s behavior.
Gossip Girl: How’s your podcast going?
Brandi Glanville: Really well…It’s not like anything I’ve ever done before, being on the other side of the interview, so I’m really enjoying the process. It’s nice to be able to speak your opinion, get your side of it out. I use it as a way to clear up a lot of stuff because I read things about me everyday. It’s really freeing and nice to interview other people, get them comfortable, and then go in for the kill! I’m really enjoying it and hoping it will turn into something more. My dream is to one day have my own talk show. That is something I would really love to do, a nighttime talk show like the Chelsea Handler show.
TT: I’m not sure Brandi understands that “being on the other side of the interview” means it is not about her. Interviewing is not about “getting your side of it out.” It’s actually about the person you are interviewing. It’s also kind of appalling that she says she wants to get people comfortable and then “go in for the kill.” It’s hysterical that she wants to emulate Chelsea Handler, who thinks she is a giant cuntsicle. Like really hilarious. Wasn’t this interview before Whitney Cummings made it clear Chelsea hates her on WWHL? This explains why she cried to Andy in a tweet about bullying. Andy himself basically said on Ask Andy recently that he was not bullying Brandi and was offended by her choice of words. Basically, people hate Brandi. Lots of people. That’s not bullying. That’s just public outcry against her shitty treatment of others.
Gossip Girl: Have you talked to other Housewives about your Apprentice experience?
Brandi Glanville: Kim and Yolanda, yes. Lisa Rinna a little bit. She went through this herself a couple times. You know, there’s a lot of competition with the Housewives. Even though it’s not a game show, [there’s a lot] of who’s doing what? Who’s getting what show? There’s not a lot of patting on the back, ‘Good job!’ It’s like, ‘Why didn’t I get that?’ But there’s no prize at the end of Housewives. I’m used to people backstabbing you, but not trying to win for a team and having somebody throw you under the bus.
TT: Aw, did she get thrown under the bus? Somehow, I don’t think Lisa Rinna was interested in having a conversation with her at all, unless it was in the RHOBH script. It’s no coincidence that the relapsed addict and the woman who admits she has lost brain function are her only allies on RHOBH.
Gossip Girl: What do you watch on TV?
Brandi Glanville: I watch Pokemon, all the Disney shows with them. But my favorite show is The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s my guilty pleasure.
TT: Translation: God I want to be Kenya Moore.
Brandi with a ‘Brandi Lately’ show? Fml. I can forgive you Americans for the Kardashians, but a Brandi spinoff show is unforgivable! Don’t let it happen people. Unite!
I was thinking more along the lines of “Crotch that Happens”.
That voice for 60 minutes??? Dies!
I am so happy I am not alone on her voice issue. Some time ago I heard a couple of minutes of her podcast. She was shrieking over the guest, you couldn’t understand a word either one was saying. I sent her a tweet that she could use some voice training and to stop talking over the guest. She did not like it. I don’t see how she can succeed in radio/tv environment if she can’t take criticism and advice and not get all defensive.
I really don’t understand the need to tweeter someone you don’t know and give them suggestions about how to live their life. It’s just so weird to me. Then you’re surprised she didn’t think you for the unsolicited advice? #MindBoggling

Nah, I did not expect thank yous. It was long time ago, I was still rooting for her and the single mother act. I just dropped an idea how to improve it, I guess. She got defensive, while I would ignore advice I didn’t like.
Her favorite show is The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s my guilty pleasure. LMAO, that’s why she was coming for Kenya. Its so immature be crule to a person based on a reality show. However, it shows her sense of maturity by the program that she watch on television. But she’s right Wendy Williams is a b**** and so is she. LOL Pokemon
I was addicted to that show when I was a kid.
“Its so immature be crule to a person based on a reality show”.
That made me laugh. Isn’t that what we do here? : )
LOL I thought the same thing.
Exactly, she had a preconceived idea of Kenya and it played out the way it did because Brandi expected her to be “evil”.
Say it isn’t so! Brandi wants her own talk show? I don’t think that will ever happen..who wants to watch her BULLY even more people! Brandi will get drunk, Get people comfortable, then go in for the kill! Oh my! That wouldn’t be my cup of tea! No Brandi…..
Who would her guest be?? LoL
No one likes her. She couldn’t pay anyone enough to be on her show.
The Invisable Man.
(She can’t spell invisible.)
Her favorite show should be celeb rehab. It should have open invitations for her and kim to drop by whenever they need a weeks “vacation”.
Brandi spends her life being envious of and watching other people.
Also, I have a feeling that a custody change is coming down the pike. Otherwise, why the sudden insistence that she is an “actress” on RHOBH? To say that guarantees she will not be invited back next year (YAY), but it’s also an excuse.
As to those boys, I also wonder if the reason Eddie hasn’t tried to get full custody before is because he doesn’t want it. Sad to say, but those boys have been encouraged to be unpleasant. I suppose a couple of days shuffled off to mom’s house gives Eddie time to clean the urine out of the pool.
I just wanted to thank you for this comment. You made me laugh so hard that yogurt came out my nose. I must be careful in the future and avoid eating yogurt while reading any of your posts.
I so believe that Brandi wanted the boys to act like the untrained Lost Boys she allows them to be in her care, but somehow I think Eddie has better control over them. Thanks again. Now I have to clean my screen!
Further evidence of a custody change: LeAnn has been posting about what a great dad Eddie is and then posting about her involvement in school activities.
Something is being filed. There is zero doubt in my mind.
I’m already pre declining any pool party invitations at the Cibrian household.
Sounds likely to me. They will show up with all her falling down drunk in public photos and footage from RHOBH.
It’s sad. But at this point, it’s clear that it would not take much for Eddie to be the better parent.

Eddie could lock those kids in a cage and STILL be a better parent.
At least they wouldn’t be eaten by coyotes or accidentally whipped by Brandi’s tampon string.
Lisa Vanderpump was on two shows before this idiot. Dancing with Stars and Vanderpump Rules. Both times it was Brandi first and foremost that was not supportive and proceeded to end their friendship with the back biting comments. Once again she is deflecting. No one is jealous of anything Brandi has. She is delusional.
The way she likens herself to Chelsea is pathetic. For the same reasons you stated Tamara. Brandi made out with Chelsea’s brother and used him to get her books going. Chelsea hates her for being a user. As Brandi repeatedly states on twitter, she will do anything for money and mostly fame. All the while deflecting that on others like Kyle that do not need nor want the kind of fame she is after.
I can not stand this “woman”.
Whoa, whoa, whoa – Brandi made out with Chelsea’s brother? That’s kinda gross. Have you seen him? I don’t know how I missed that little gem of info!
He’s not a looker..
It made her insults against Joyce’s husband look pretty hypocritical. But, hey that’s how she rolls.
Imagine all the heat those poor kids take at school. Brandi is selfish just like Tre. It is all about me me me.
That’s why she can relate with Teresa. Ironic that she can feel sorry for the Guidices while turning a blind eye the repercussios of her behavior on her own children.
Ugggh. Just read the interview Brandi did where she states she is an “a-hole” on RHBH. She then goes on to say that she has told Mason that she is “acting” on real housewives because “its kind of true”. So here we have her laying the ground work to combat any future custody issues. Much like Teresa did in court when she said she was playing a part for the show.
So if everything is an act, can we expect Brandi fans to stop accusing Kyle Richards of being an awful sister and Lisa of being a mastermind? I’m kind of glad she said this because from here on out it makes every accusation she makes against others just completely invalid and part of her act.
I wonder if Andy would be pissed to hear that. Isnt this a reality show? Now she is acting which would make the whole show bullshit vs the small percentage of production generated BS. Is she still having tea with Lisa? Are they still the best of friends? If she went to court for they kids they could supeona Bravo to refute that.
Once again, Brandi lies. She’s not an asshole. She’s a whole ass.
When I think of Brandi, I do think of big holes though.
Too nasty?
Brandi.Pokemon. Disney, immature, all sounds like a good fit to me (for her) As for RHOA, I would love to see her and Nene on that or any show together. Can you imagine? Lol. If she thinks Kenya was so “evil” and diabolical, she ain’t experienced evil and bulliness until she gets to work with Mz Leakes. N would chew her up and spit her out and DEMAND an apology and she would have to hire atty Parks to send out a ‘cease and desist’ letter to N to stop the bullying. By this time she (Brandi) will have taken to drink, called Kim and they ride off into the sunset like Thelma and Louise, and Kandi will be laughing at all of them on her way to the bank./
It’s funny how Brandi accuses Lisa of being a ‘mastermind’ behind everything or Nene accuses Kenya a mastermind everything or Teresa blames Melissa for everything….there seems to be a pattern.
NICE.
Brandi Glanville is the Jan Brady of the Real Housewives.
Kenya is by far “The Nellie Olson Of RHOA”…..(fake , liar , evil and vindictive)
Nellie was my favorite person on LHOTP.

Nene is most definitely closer to Nellie. Kenya is more like Laura….misunderstood and always in the middle of controversy.
Don’t you dare compare Nene to NELLIE! Gawd!

lol @ Nellie Olson , my favorite episode was when she was pretending to be paralyzed .
Brandi is unable to understand cuntsequences therefore she finds Teresa Guidice’s situation horribly sad. She better book flight to Dubai before her Joyce Wildenstein transformation is complete and she still has market value.
The ladies are competitive with her? A restaurant mogul, Emmy winning actresses, multi-millionaires? Oh, pleeeease! I now see she was never the “thruth cannon” but a lying liar. She certainly had me fooled. I once was really rooting for her.
Brandi has said multiple times that she is not fake and is always 100% real and now she is acting. Yes, probably just in case Eddie seeks custody. And, to save face after RHOBH showed her to be a mean nasty drunk.
Yeah she keeps it 100, Nene keeps it 100. 100 has a new meaning these days.
Lol…certainly does!
It’s the total of their IQs.
When the fans liked Brandi she was the self professed truth cannon who never lied. Now that she isn’t such a favorite, we’re all supposed to believe her current spiel that her behavior on the show is all an act.
Tootsie— So was she lying then….or lying now?
Or just lying in the gutter.
With a Fatburger.
giggles.

“with a Fatburger…'” LOL
I think that Brandi does say true things, but she mixes them up with lies and exaggerations too that what she says has the sheen of validity to it. That makes it difficult to separate the fact from fiction.
Now that I know her game, however, I’m disinclined to search for the truthful nuggets and just dismiss it all as lies. I certainly will not give her any benefit of the doubt that she is mistaken — she knows she’s lying.
which brings us to this new post. WHAT DOES ALL THE GOOD SHIT HAPPEN ON # *TGIT* NIGHT? http:// tamaratattles.com/2015/02/05/was -brandi-glanville-escorted-off-set-at-wendy-williams/ … Brandi escorted off WW? This NENE thing? Too much! @aghnoy

I just started watching BH last season, when did brandi become such a bitch? I seem to remember from blog posts that she was tolerated.
She was actually liked in her first season. From there it was a rapid decline to the point we are at now. Vile cunt.

RVA, Brandi was a twunt biscuit even in her 1st season. She just hid it well. We were used to the other women being bitchy and since Brandi was wearing a cast, we cut her some slack. Everyone was being nice to the handicapped and I can say that because I am handicapped which makes it pc for me to use the word lmao. It was basically the lesser of the evils that season.
She started this bitch thing after Kenya’s first season.
Truthfully, when she first came on the show (as a friend of HW) she was unfairly picked on/ganged up on by the others (Taylor, Kim, Kyle, Dana/Pam). They were laughing about her the very first episode and saying catty things like “the only thing I know about her is that her husband left her for Leann Rimes,” which came across as jealousy on their part (at least in my opinion). She got the first season “good edit” that Bravo usually gives to newbies and she got sympathy too because her “I’m just a poor single mother doing the best I can whose husband cheated on and abandoned” act was new.
The fame then went right to her damn head and she’s progressively gotten worse in direct proportion to her “success” — by the time her 2nd book was due to come out and she got the CA gig, she thought she was “popular” enough to turn on the one person who was nice to her from the beginning (Lisa and by extension Ken) without consequence/backlash. Why she wanted to do that — I don’t know — maybe she never really liked Lisa but was “friends” with her because nobody else would talk to her and with the addition of Yolanda, who also befriended her, she didn’t “need” Lisa anymore. That backfired and now, in a desperate bid to maintain her HW status she is *really* spinning out of control
REFRESH THE SITE! lol.

Thank you — I just saw your reply message!
The fact that Brandi thinks CA shows us that she is a good business woman is, in and of itself, hilarious. For all the reasons written in purple, I hope (but doubt) she’s saving every penny she’s making because there is nowhere to go but down, down, down. It should be fun to watch.
Eddie is one smart dude for getting out while the getting was good.
How great or smart can Eddie be ? He married Brandi and made her a mother twice . He has first hand knowledge of the train wreck that is Brandi yet has allowed his children to suffer all of these years with this drug addict perhaps he’s an addict too .
Meh. A whole lot of guys have taken advantage of access to the free tunnel of STDs. I don’t know the whole story, but in my mind it is pretty clear:
Eddie had a few drinks, saw a tall blonde, took her home expecting her to leave in the morning. Instead, she moved her tampons into his medicine cabinet and spent her days hanging out in the bushes in front of his house. When he didn’t have luck at bars, he’d take the drunk mess inside for a little “fun time”, assuming that someone who had spent so much fun time around the world would take precautions.
Ah, naive Eddie! Little did he know that the birth control pills Brandi claimed to take were tic tacs. When Eddie tried to escape, Brandi followed him around wailing about how she “gave herself” to him (while omitting facts about her generosity with other men). She also called his mother to let Latin “Grandma” know that a grandbaby was on the way. Now he has no option but marriage. Brandi promises spicy bedroom times with fidelity optional. Seems easier to marry her than to spend the rest of his life with a vicious baby mama. Oh, Eddie. Big mistake.
Another one comes and Eddie escapes the crazy. Or so he thought. That crazy will follow him to the ends of the earth in the fight for revenge.
Brandi is a master at manipulation and victimhood. I truly believe Eddie wants to be seen as a good guy. He may have had affairs, but who are we to say that it wasn’t an arrangement? It doesn’t sound like either of them are fonts of fidelity.
In any case, that’s how it happens in my mind. Brandi is not the only drunk junkie out there and this is not as uncommon as the decency in us likes to believe.
She’s not interesting at all and she knows it which is why she resorts to shock tactics for attention. Otherwise, she’s basic.
OMG. Imagine what it must be like to be Eddie & Leann dealing with Brandi. I wonder if all the nasty things she has said about them has hurt Eddie’s career. It must have. His thing was Lifetime movies with a female fan base. Reminding women for 7 yrs now about the affair couldnt have helped.
” I wonder if all the nasty things [Brandi] has said about them has hurt Eddie’s career. It must have. His thing was Lifetime movies with a female fan base.”
He was on CSI Miami from 2009-2010. I don’t know when he was with Scheana, but it seems plausible he was in SUR when he was ‘dating’ her. I think he would be noticed there. This brings me to something that’s bothered me for awhile, kind-of: Surely L Vanderpump saw him with Scheana and found out the whole story. But later once she knew Brandi (meh), and BG protested that she didn’t want Scheana around her, Vanderpump played dumb. Yet she is sooo into who bangs whom; example: several times she has talked about Jax’s “dick” (her word — so elegant.)
I also think she put Brandi up to telling Adrienne & Paul’s secret; and I think she put the Mauricio tabloids in Brandi’s suitcase. She’s horrible, and now that her puppet Brandi is flopping around on her own, we’re watching chaos.
@TD now, I don’t really think their IQs are in the 3 digit range. If they are I would think it would be something like 00.2 or something like that. I could be wrong….
Sorry my mistake.
Eddie and Leeann tried to get their kids on their own failed reality show. They blocked the kids from rhobh out of spite.
You are leading the pack on biggest idiot tonight congrats. Normally I would chastise you for posting outrageously wrong inro as fact. but you are hilarious.

Branditards believe whatever GB says as fact. Heaven forbid LR tweets about her life (Eddie, stepsons, career, cooking), Branditards immediately attack. LR fans are attacked too just for complimenting her. Apparently, you arent allowed to like her music either. They tell her Eddie doesnt love her and is still in love with Brandi and she is barren.
If LR uses the same hashtag or wears the same color she is copying or stalking BG. Why would you want to be anything like the ex-wife that your hubby left for you?? Ive never seen anything like it. It is like watching a car wreck. Im appalled but cant look away.
I think LeAnn has handled things poorly, but now I have a lot more sympathy for her.
I never did understand why Brandi wouldn’t be thrilled to have a loving and caring stepmother for her boys. I mean, it sure beats the alternative.
Seething with envy and spite is both unattractive and harmful. Girl really needs to get a hold of herself. If she’d just handled herself with a minimum amount of decorum, she’d have a great situation. Unfortunately, I don’t think she is CAPABLE of self awareness.
I love watching Brandi because it is a prime example of borderline personality disorder (yes, I’m saying she’s a psychopath). Deflection, lack of self-awareness, claiming victim status, irresponsibility, narcissism, inability to understand the feelings of others, and a charming initial impression.
Psycopaths/Sociopaths are always really well liked, charming, and funny AT FIRST. Until they get bored and start to create chaos.
I love watching Brandi as she is a classic case.
She says that if she had a talk show that she would want to get people “comfortable, and then go in for the kill!” That’s exactly what she does in real life, she did it with Lisa, and Kyle, and she’ll probably do it to Yolanda and Kim. She’s very good at getting people to like her and getting people comfortable with her; that’s what makes her so dangerous.
Yep. And then the number of people willing to come on her show would be precisely ZERO. She’s no Howard Stern. Or Joan Rivers. Or even Bethenny Frankel. What’s missing more than taste or restraint, is intelligence.
I’m in the minority here… I dislike Brandi on RHOBH… However, her podcast is actually very good. I listened because I was curious and was shocked that I actually enjoyed it.
Why is RHOA a guilty pleasure? I swear this woman is so racist. She constantly talks about how scary the women are on that show. Why? Is it because they would have dragged your silly behind if you threw a drink at any one of them? I’m sick of her talking about them like they are a a circus act. She is ghetto trash.
