“I know Brandi through Yolanda and I know that Yolanda always thought Brandi was truthful and my interactions with Brandi have been very straightforward and I don’t think that she has a reason to say something this impactful if in fact it was not true,” Erika told HollywoodLife. “There’s no way she’s pulling it out of thin air. I’ll just tell you that.”
“I don’t know what actually happened. You know so there are two sides to every story,” she explained. “So Denise has got her side and Brandi has got her side. I don’t know how Denise is going to, or, if Denise is even going to want to talk about it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what Denise has said in her interviews about the whole thing. I don’t know if it’ll be about her being in a relationship with Brandi or whether she said these things about it. I really don’t know what happened.”
The news comes after it was reported that Brandi and Denise had sexual relations in the past. While Richards initially “laughed it off,” a source told Us Weekly, Denise now “wants all of that footage taken out of the show.”
“It’s one thing for the drama to be directed or even scripted in certain situations, but to have blatantly false lies spewed as if it were fact is just wrong and shouldn’t be allowed,” the source revealed. “Brandi wanted to confront Denise at the finale of the cast party, but Denise already had other plans that evening and she didn’t want to give her a platform to make those allegations. … Brandi needs to provide proof that she hooked up with Denise. Text messages, dates, specifics.”
Meanwhile, other sources claimed that the Starship Troopers actress had stopped filming. “She didn’t show up to Teddi’s baby shower,” the insider said, adding that Glanville was in attendance. A separate source told the publication that Richards had a previous conflict on the day of Mellencamp’s baby shower and that she did not attend the finale party because of a family emergency.
“She was very involved in all the production leading up to the end of the show,” the source said.
Denise’s rep publicly denied the allegations. Brandi first hinted about the feud when she revealed on Twitter, writing, “I just got ‘Denised.’ … 1-blackmail is illegal. 2-I have no skeletons in my closet (they’re all on the internet). 3-slut shaming is soooooo last year.”
