Brandi Glanville (born November 16, 1972) is an American television personality and former fashion model. She is best known for joining the second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.


Early life and Modeling

Glanville was born on November 16, 1972 to parents Guy and Judith Ann Glanville and raised in Sacramento, California. She has an older sister, Tricia, and a younger brother, Michael.

At the age of 16, Glanville moved to Paris, France and began modeling. Glanville was signed by Elite Model Management and flown to work in Europe, Los Angeles and New York. By the next year, she was taking part in Paris runway shows. During a 17-year modeling career, she appeared in the pages of Glamour and Cosmopolitan and worked for design couture houses including Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Gucci


Personal life

Glanville married actor Eddie Cibrian, known primarily for his work on TV series including The Young and The Restless, Third Watch, CSI: Miami and The Playboy Club, on May 12, 2001. The couple have two sons together, Mason and Jake.

In early 2009, reports surfaced that Cibrian was having an affair with married country singer LeAnn Rimes, his costar in Northern Lights. Though Glanville initially stood by her husband in public and attended counseling with him, Cibrian and Rimes took their relationship public in August 2009, one week after Rimes separated from her husband.

Eddie Cibrian also carried on an affair with a waitress, as well, named Scheana Marie Jancan. Initially Ms. Jancan denied knowing Cibrian was married, but later recanted this report. Brandi and Scheana Marie met at SUR Restaurant to hash out their differences on the first season of Vanderpump Rules on the Bravo Network.

Glanville then left Cibrian and they filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Their divorce was finalized on September 30, 2010.


Book

Glanville was offered a book deal in 2012 by Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. “Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders” will be released February 12, 2013. The book title is a play on her use of Twitter. Glanville, at the time of editing, has a twitter following of over 301,000 followers. The book itself is a frank, humorous memoir regarding a very public break-up, surviving infidelity - mixed with social media, and moving on in the aftermath. The book launch ensued the week of February 12, culminating in a whirlwind bout of interviews including the "Today Show", "Anderson Cooper Live", "Howard Stern", and "The View". Glanville also co-hosted a pre-Academy Awards special for "On The Red Carpet", an affiliate of ABC. Articles have appeared in a myriad of publications including an instructional article in "Glamour" magazine on spotting infidelity. The book is offered online at Barnes & Noble in the Kindle version and on Amazon.com in hardback and E versions due to mishandling of its distribution.

In less than two weeks the book was No. 8 on the New York Time's Best Sellers List and No. 1 on the New York Time's E-List. The book also reached No. 2 in Biographies & Memoirs in Amazon's Bestseller categories and received positive reviews. A movie deal may be in the works.
