“But at the end of the day, you have to know when to wake the fuck up and get on with your life.” Not exactly the most eloquent philosophical statement, but it’s Glanville all the way. “Sometimes you need to lose yourself to truly find yourself again,” Glanville writes in the book. In Drinking & Tweeting, Glanville relives her painful journey of betrayal, struggling with accepting the reality of her circumstances, and ultimately, her path to reclaiming her identity and finding inner peace. Less than two years later, he and Rimes were wed, leaving Glanville as a nearly 40-year-old single mom of two. Cibrian, whose multiple other affairs came to light shortly after the Rimes bomb exploded, went public with his relationship with Rimes before his and Glanville’s divorce papers were even filed. In 2009, her husband at the time, TV actor Eddie Cibrian ( The Young and the Restless CSI: Miami), was infamously caught cheating with washed-up country singer LeAnn Rimes. Published last week by Simon & Schuster and co-written with good friend Lesley Bruce, Glanville’s book provides detailed insights into the world of fame and divorce that’s simultaneously hilarious, heartbreaking, shameless, and of course, full of juicy one-liners and salacious gossip.īefore Glanville joined the cast of The Real Housewives, her face was already heavily splattered across the pages of tabloids and celebrity gossip blogs. It’s this unfiltered display of self-awareness that makes Glanville’s new memoir, Drinking & Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders, such a fascinating look behind the seemingly diamond-studded curtains of privileged Beverly Hills life. The others, by contrast, come across as grown-up mean girls and more image-calculated ‘Plastics.’ She admits her flaws and is upfront about her values – making her emerge as one of the only ladies worthy of the word “real” associated with her name. While many of the other “housewives” are all about pretence, acting as if they are above the show’s often petty quarrels and working hard to exude an aura of sophisticated perfection, Glanville couldn’t be more different. In what’s likely a producer’s dream come true, Glanville’s no-bullshit policy is the catalyst for some of the most honest-and drama-provoking-moments on the hit Bravo program.

As friend and co-star Lisa Vanderpump likes to point out, Glanville’s bluntness and tendency to always speak exactly what’s on her mind is both one of her best qualities and also the one that gets her into the most trouble. Since her debut appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in the reality show’s second season, the former model has always had a distinctly edgier and sharper flavor than her 1% cast-mates. It’s no secret that Brandi Glanville is not your typical “housewife.”
