Glanville, 49, said in the reality series Peacock, which premiered Thursday, that when she debuted in the second season of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” it was the “worst fucking moment” of her life because the show followed the downfall of Armstrong’s marriage.

In the second season of “RHUGT”, Glanville stated that she did not know what was “real” between Taylor and Russell, which the author of “Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss and Finding Courage” said was also “really difficult”. for her to hear.
“It’s really hard for me, especially because I’m so actively involved in preventing domestic violence and working with survivors and victims, and I talk everywhere and I’m very public about my advocacy,” Taylor said.
“It’s the worst thing you can do to a victim – suspect her or ever suggest that she may be making something up.”
Despite their disagreements, Taylor said she and her ex-colleague from “RHOBH” quarrel have “a little family feeling” because of their long history, adding, “It’s almost like an argument with her sister.”
Taylor starred in the “RHOBH” seasons from 1st to 3rd from 2010 to 2013, and also guest starred in seasons 4 through 6.
Meanwhile, Glanville was a permanent member of the cast in Season 2, “The Housewife” full-time in Seasons 3 to 5, and several appeared in Seasons 6, 9, and 10.
