According to Page Six Marco Vega, the butler hired for Season 2 of “Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip,” has sued Bravo, claiming he was sexually abused during a wild party at Dorinda Medley’s Massachusetts mansion.
In court documents obtained by TMZ Friday, Vega claimed that during the September 2021 shindig, Phaedra Parks slapped his butt and Brandi Glanville ripped his shirt off, exposing his torso.
“Earn your money, Marco. Take your shirt off. Do something!” Glanville allegedly told him as she yanked his shirt off.
Vega alleged the incidents occurred after a strip-tease show took place at Medley’s Blue Stone Manor. Once the fun ended from the show, he said producers encouraged him to “go over and get the women dancing!”
He also claimed in his lawsuit, per the outlet, that the women were drinking heavily throughout the night.

He further claimed the events caused a strain in his marriage after his wife got very upset over what had happened.
Vega is suing Bravo for sexual abuse and harassment, claiming the network has a history of condoning inappropriate behavior from its stars. He is asking for damages.
When PageSix reached for comment, Parks’ rep told them, “She is traveling and unavailable for comment.”
As for Glanville, her rep said, “She has the utmost respect for Marco. Anything that occurred on the set that evening was requested by the producers and approved by Marco Vega himself.”
Vega had previously detailed his disappointment with his filming experience on his Instagram Story in 2022.
In screenshots shared by a Bravo fan account, Vega said he “didn’t really ‘connect’ with any of the ladies” and was “forcibly stripped,” about which he “was not happy.”
He did, however, add that Medley was “extremely kind to him.”
