Peacock has released a statement following Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 4 cast members Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo exiting the show during filming.
The streamer has addressed reports that Glanville kissed Manzo on more than one occasion without her consent during a party while cast and crew were on location in Marrakech.
According to reports from People, producers made the decision to remove Glanville from the show following the alleged incident, while Manzo decided she no longer wanted to take part in filming and chose to leave of her own accord.

"In this situation, production immediately launched a comprehensive review and is taking appropriate action."
Thus far, Manzo has declined to comment on the matter, while Glanville seemingly referenced the dispute on Twitter by encouraging followers to "check your sources".
