The “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” footage that purports to show an incident between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville has been “temporarily restricted” by a New York court.
Executive producer Lisa Shannon submitted the videos this week in an attempt to have the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum’s lawsuit thrown out but requested all of the clips be sealed from the public, the court docket seen by Page Six shows.
Although the footage cannot be seen, Shannon notes in her legal response that it details “the incident at issue in the complaint, Manzo’s perceptions of it, the other cast member’s perceptions of it and the aftermath” of the encounter, in which Manzo has alleged that Glanville forced her tongue into her mouth and humped her without consent.

Shannon also claims in the court documents that Manzo, 62, said she felt “disrespected” by the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum — but acknowledged Glanville, 51, did not “sexually violate” her.
“Our primary concern at that point was making sure that Manzo felt safe,” read the documents.
“She told us that she felt safe, that she wanted to continue to film, and that she did not want Glanville to be sent home.”
Reenacted conversations with other “RHUGT” cast members, including Phaedra Parks, also purport to show that they were “all having fun,” noting that no one was aware Manzo had been sexually abused as a child, which prompted her reaction to Glanville’s alleged actions.
“Am I happy? No. Do I feel vindicated? No. IM F–KING MORE PISSED THAN EVER,” Glanville tweeted Thursday. “What these producers do to make a tv show is disgraceful &disgusting.I begged for them to intervene. I almost died. It took a lawsuit… I’m not ok.”
Shannon also claims in her legal response that Manzo left Morocco after her castmates informed her in a group text that they were going to visit Glanville at her hotel, which was the “only time” Manzo allegedly asked not to be filmed.
Glanville has repeatedly shot down Manzo’s “false” sexual harassment claims as “absurd.”

“While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault,” Glanville’s rep told Page Six in January after Manzo filed her lawsuit.
“She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.”
As Page Six exclusively reported, Peacock — the streamer that airs “RHUGT” — has tabled airing the scandal-plagued season in light of Manzo’s allegations against Glanville.
Sources close to Bravo have maintained that no official decisions have been made.
