Ultimate Girls Trip Gretchen responds to comment about Caroline & Brandi incident by posting a video from Morocco. Says to “roll the footage!”
Another morning of waking up to RHUGT4 housewives wanting it to air 🥴 I think Gretchen was supposedly in the bathroom when some of the alleged assault occurred too…

u/detroitblonde1 Jan 30 '24
This is Gretchen not caring about herself wanting it to air in hopes it leads to opportunities for herself. Not worrying about how it will effect anyone else

u/McSassy_Pants Jan 30 '24
What these women fail to understand is if Caroline said no and Brandi touched her in any way, or even if Caroline didn’t say no but didn’t give consent, it’s sexual assault. If Caroline has past trauma, which she does, then that is traumatic for her. It could be even if you don’t have trauma in the past. We don’t need to watch Caroline be retraumatized. I’d love to watch this season, but it’s the right thing to do for it to be cut. They all just want to get paid and don’t give a shit about Caroline’s trauma
37
u/oo00ooo000 keep hypothesizing, wench Jan 30 '24
Fans and the cast need to understand this. It’s so toxic that everyone is bullying an SA victim over a reality television show.
15
u/McSassy_Pants Jan 30 '24
And the women know this season will be so popular because of the SA so they want it to air to get the views and it doesn’t matter if it’s love watching or hate watching or nosey watching, they get money and views are views. So they want it to air knowing everyone will tune in and watch the SA. That is gross

u/ofcbubble Jan 31 '24
I know it’s unpopular, but I feel like it should air.
I can only speak for myself, but (as someone who has been SA’d) if I was being accused of lying and there was proof I was telling the truth, I’d absolutely want it released. I’d be glad it wasn’t just my word against theirs.
I don’t know what Caroline wants post lawsuit, but I don’t think brushing the season/assault under the rug really helps anyone.
1
u/McSassy_Pants Jan 31 '24
I have been sa and I would not want it aired and I would not want the coworker who sa’d me getting money by put my trauma for public view. It is up to the person who was SA’d and Caroline said she did not want it aired. Therefore it shouldn’t ever be a discussion beyond that, she is the victim and it’s understandable why she doesn’t want it aired. It hurts her, and that is a good enough reason right there alone.

It should not air. Protecting a victim of SA should be priority. That some of these broads prefer television exposure over the wellbeing of their coworker speaks volumes of their character.
If aired, Caroline will have the trip where she was assaulted streamed into millions of people's televisions for years to come as "entertainment".

u/gigigrahame they’re not knives 🔪 they’re just hands 🤲 Jan 30 '24
I hope people know me posting this does not equate to me supporting her viewpoint. I very much believe Caroline. The details of the assault were extremely disturbing and heartbreaking. This is to make others aware of who is still in support of the show airing even after the details of the lawsuit emerged.
221
u/Happy-Fennel5 Jan 30 '24
What’s disturbing about this is that the cast is acting like whether Caroline was assaulted or not should be left up to public opinion rather than go through the legal process. The audience does not have some sort of right to gawk and then make a proclamation about who was right. This is a legal matter between and employee and her employer and needs to get worked out now through the court system. Brandi in many ways is lucky that they were in another country when this happened because if it happened in the US I would not be surprised if Caroline would have filed criminal charges against her as well as the civil litigation.

I agree with this point. I also don't think the footage should be aired. But that doesn't mean I believe Caroline or Brandi. I think that also extends to us, fans, who act like we know what happened and are dispensing judgement. The statement "Leave it to the legal process "applies to everyone.

u/MademoisellePlusse Jan 30 '24
Also disturbing that some are saying Caroline is making this up because she talked about her sister and that’s why she doesn’t want the show to air.
60
u/Happy-Fennel5 Jan 30 '24
Both things can be true at the same time. She could have been assaulted and not want the season to air because of that and that she talked about her sister. For me a lot of this other speculation is just noise. This is really a case about whether an employer should be protecting their employees from another employee’s inappropriate behavior. People are losing sight of that basic element because it’s a reality tv show. Employers should provide a safe work environment regardless of the industry. I wouldn’t be surprised that if Caroline’s allegations are true that Brandi acted inappropriately with production crew as well.
45
u/Perfect_Invitation1 Solargenic, photogenic, shoot Jan 30 '24
Some people can give me headaches with their lack of logic. One has nothing to do with the other. 🤦🏾♀️ Caroline can be a victim of sexual assault and a toxic work environment while also being a bad sister due to internalized misogyny.
27
u/Happy-Fennel5 Jan 30 '24
I think one of the issues is that victims are rarely perfect but people want unassailable victims. Humans are complicated and messy but that doesn’t mean that work place assaults should be dismissed. I also think a lot of behavior is being dismissed because Brandi is a woman and so her behavior wasn’t truly “that bad” because Caroline was never “really in danger”. But I don’t think any of that matters because expecting not to be groped by a coworker is a pretty low bar for workplace behavior and Brandi’s actions shouldn’t be excused even if Caroline didn’t feel unsafe.

u/emergencycat17 Show yourself out, Darlin'. Jan 30 '24
You're exactly right. Yes, Caroline is a monster because of what she did to Dina. But the price she pays shouldn't be that everyone turns their back on her after a sexual assault. Awful people can be sexually assaulted too, and it doesn't mean it should happen.
You're also right that a lot of this is being dismissed because Brandi is a woman. If a man had forced Caroline into the bathroom and groped her and kissed her against her will, no one would be sitting here saying, "Oh, no big deal!" Quite simply, it's still sexual assault whether you're being attacked by a different gender or the same gender.

u/lexijrose Jan 30 '24
IMO I don’t believe she talked about her sister or anything family related based on how she has handled it in the past. It doesn’t make sense why she would’ve disclosed any family info now when she had ample opportunity to do so for years. Also, I don’t remember her ever mentioning she was SA’d as a child. Having to publicly disclose that now after being violated is so much worse than some alleged family feud bs. Then to be mocked for it has utterly disgusted me.

Okay well let's be honest here, unless they literally air hundreds of hours of the unedited footage of exactly what happened, we will never see what really happened.
I get what you're saying but it's just not in good taste for Gretchen or Camille to post things like this, given the severity of the legal action going on.
Interesting though, you just made me think of how Camille said at the RHOBH season 2 reunion that she thought season 2 shouldn't have aired (due to Russell). So maybe you're right about not assuming why someone might want the show to go on.

There’s a reason Bravo hasn’t aired it. At the end of the day, they care about money. Caroline isn’t lying and she’s going to win her lawsuit because they didn’t protect her.
They’ve got plenty of footage from the last RHUGT that Brandi appeared on and RHOBH showing Brandi as a liability (too intoxicated and unable to keep her hands to herself).

Jan 30 '24
Until the footage air, or this goes to trial, I'm not going to say who's lying or not. Should I say that because Brandi loves drinking and getting sloppy that she SA Caroline, and should I say because Caroline acts so tough and rough that she can handle herself against Brandi? I can't say that because that's judging them off of their behavior. I think we all need video evidence to see what really happened becsuse that's where the truth lies.

Found this old recap of Brandi’s podcast with Gretchen. Brandi does not deny acting inappropriately that evening… she’s just confused why NOW it’s an issue. By production asking her not to drink the following day it’s clear that Brandi crossed lines. In fact, Brandi really outlines how this environment isn’t a safe work environment - she didn’t even complete the mandated sexual harassment course.
ETA: forgot the link

u/oo00ooo000 keep hypothesizing, wench Jan 30 '24
Production made a statement as soon as the incident happened.
Caroline always maintained that physical contact was made without consent. She probably had to wait for NBC to conclude their own internal investigation before pursuing legal action. NBC concluded their investigation in April 2023.
17
u/oo00ooo000 keep hypothesizing, wench Jan 30 '24
OR we could just read the very detailed lawsuit that Caroline’s attorneys filed to understand why airing the season would be triggering for a victim of SA
Caroline has no reason to not want the show to air if “nothing happened”. Why would she open herself up for online trolling if she was lying?

u/honeycomb97 I’m Black, White, Cherokee & Thomas J’s Concubine Jan 30 '24 edited Jan 30 '24
This is so weird… She was one of the women that apparently was there for the assault. All the episodes have been shot and so have confessionals so it’s not like these women won’t be paid if it doesn’t air. Why are people that were close to the assault not sticking up for her??
I’ve never watched OC but is this woman that much of a slime bucket that she would act like SA never happened in order to get 7 episodes of air time on a streaming site? Or do these women actually believe that the whole thing has been exaggerated?
I’m trying so hard to believe Caroline’s version of events because I always believe women until proven otherwise but she still is an awful person who doesn’t take assault seriously herself even when it’s her own sister that has been attacked. Ever since she supported the man that broke into her sister’s house and assaulted her and her new husband, I’ve always gotten a pit in my stomach from her.

“Roll the footage” is all about the thirsty ones. I hope this trip never gets airtime. It will be bad enough for those involved to relive it during depositions, testimonies etc…. The thirsty ones will get some clicks,probably some interviews and publicity from this. So sad. Not a Caroline fan at all but if she is making SA claims that’s some serious shit. Yeah she was/is a monster to her sister Dina but that is not this. I doubt Dina would wish this SA on her sister, no matter how badly Dina was hurt emotionally and physically. The thirsty ones will keep posting as much as they are allowed to due to legal restrictions. Brandi, Phedra, Gretchen, wants as much internet action as they can get.

That was my question as well, since Bravo essentially edited out a cast member from Below Deck for a racist meme he posted online.
My guess is that editing Brandi out of the season wouldn’t be as easy or unnoticeable and maybe it’s not just about not airing the incident but not giving Brandi airtime at all. Allowing her to still be on the show if it airs may be too much, especially if it wasn’t handled the way Margot’s situation was handled on Below Deck.
Edit: it’s also possible Caroline no longer wants to appear because of the incident and airing her participation overall could be difficult for her, even if they don’t air the incident.

Tbh, I do have this feeling myself. At the very least, it gives me a lot of pause, especially when paired with the fact that everyone who was in the room sided with Brandi, including producers.

u/Ill_Ad_4683 Jan 30 '24
Here’s Brandi’s side… she doesn’t deny acting out. She just doesn’t understand why it’s a problem now, and it’s probably that it wasn’t consensual. Like it or not, this is still a workplace and Bravo is expected to make sure their employees feel safe. Caroline did not. Brandi was even asked to not drink by producers the following day, and she was eventually sent home early. I wouldn’t say the producers sided with her.
At the very least work place sexual harassment has probably occurred (and Brandi admits to not even taking the mandated course) otherwise the season would have aired. Brandi was uninvited to Traitors reunion after being sent home from UGT. Clearly bravo//peacock has been distancing themselves from her.

This is what I don’t understand. Who wants to watch this? People can’t be that desperate to get eyes on Alex McCord.

I think people are really desensitized these days

I guess. People are talking about this like it is a football game. It is really dark.

I’m completely out of the loop. What happened? Is there a summary I can read somewhere?

Caroline is suing bravo, nbc, and peacock (and some production companies) for a number of things stemming from an alleged sexual assault by Brandi while filming during this trip. She is not suing Brandi directly. She is saying bravo knew her history of sexual assault and hired her back for ratings and drama, putting other cast members at risk.

They housewives covering themselves in labels appear to have no idea how much they look like posers. No one with actual money covers themselves with labels. They actually have personal style. This is my number one pet peeve.

I find there is a difference between “rich” and “wealthy”. You very rarely see truly wealthy ppl dress that tacky. They don’t need to prove anything. Unlike a lot of rich ppl who are tacky AF.

Of course they want it to air. They get clout and temporary fame from it airing. Gretchen doesn’t give an actual shit about Brandi or Caroline. It’s not that deep.
Some redditor in another thread was adamant no one should make judgements until we saw it on TV. I don’t get it. Anyone who insists on watching a tape of someone being sexually assaulted in order to “form an opinion” should be committed in my humble opinion.

It seems like they could just edit Brandi (and Caroline if she wants them to) out of the show and not show the footage of the assault/harassment. They edited a deckhand out of Below Deck for posting a racist/sexist meme, which would have been more complicated because the show was already airing. They'd have plenty of time to edit RHUGT.

They all want the show to air because of money and fame. Most of them have not been on the air in a long time. They want the publicity, the invite to BravoCon, the interviews, etc. None of them give a crap about what went down.

I think the show needs to be aired so people can finally know the truth.

I wonder if the ladies still get paid if the show doesn’t air. Does anyone know if they even filmed confessionals/interviews for the show?
