<p>In a new lawsuit against Bravo, <strong>Marco Vega</strong> — the butler on season two of the multi-franchise<em> Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip </em>— says <strong>Phaedra Parks</strong> and <strong>Brandi Glanville</strong> touched him without his consent.</p>
<p>While he isn&#8217;t suing the reality stars, he says Bravo encourages its talent to act inappropriately for viewers&#8217; entertainment.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Marco Vega Is Suing Bravo &; Citing His Interactions With Phaedra &; Brandi</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/10/20/bravo-sued-butler-real-housewives-alcohol-assault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, Vega says the situation unfolded during the cast trip to <strong>Dorinda Medley</strong>&#8216;s Blue Stone Manor in Massachusetts. Marco reportedly highlighted a moment when — while dancing — Phaedra patted his booty before Brandi ripped off his shirt. This aired during the fourth episode of the seven-part series and featured the other Housewives shrieking in amusement.</p>
<p>After a bourbon-fueled, prohibition-themed dinner party, viewers specifically saw the ladies cutting up while getting handsy with one another. Marco appeared to get in on the fun as well.</p>
<p>Shortly after Phaedra had a lil&#8217; moment with Marco, Brandi ripped off his shirt. In a confessional, Glanville declared, <strong><em>&#8220;Earn your money, Marco! Take your shirt off. Do something.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>As a result, Marco says his wife was angered by the situation and noted that it sparked marital issues.</p>
<p>Check out the on-camera interaction between Marco and the ladies down below.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Is <em>Vanity Fair </em>Also Cookin&#8217; Something Up Against Bravo?</h3>
<p>News of Marco&#8217;s lawsuit follows <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/10/19/vanity-fair-prepping-deeply-reported-probe-into-bravos-relationship-with-housewives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reporting that <em>Vanity Fair</em> is in the process of conducting a months-long exposé on Bravo&#8217;s relationship with its talent.</p>
<p>Citing a source, Page Six reports that the alleged exposé is <strong><em>&#8220;really going deep into what the women go through and what&#8217;s expected of them as members of the cast and members of the &#8216;Bravo family.'&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>Notably, YouTube blogger <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqTIpT600oo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Up and Adam!</a> also reported that he had knowledge of the alleged development since August.</p>
<p>The rumored investigative piece has not yet been published.</p>
