According to court documents, Vega alleged that in September 2021 The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum slapped him in the butt and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star ripped off his shirt.

“Earn your money, Marco. Take your shirt off. Do something!” Glanville supposedly told him as she exposed his torso.

Vega is suing the network for condoning sexual abuse and harassment and is asking for damages.

After reaching out for comment, Parks’ rep told Page Six, “She is traveling and unavailable for comment.” Meanwhile Glanville’s 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.”

Prior to the lawsuit, Vega expressed his disappointment about how he was treated while on Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip via social media.

He shared that he “didn’t really ‘connect’ with any of the ladies” and was “forcibly stripped,” which he “was not happy” about. Despite this, Vega did gush about Medley, saying she was “extremely kind to him.”

“I can’t say much — only because it’s not good for my headspace — but it took a lot for me to go back there,” she began about the incident, which supposedly included "unwanted" kissing and touching.

“Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for me that way. I came home early," she explained. “At this point, I just truly don’t have the space in my head to talk about it, so I’d rather not.”
