Real Housewives Star Sues Bravo for $20 Million Over Defamation and Harassment

Reality TV Star Brit Eady Sues Bravo for $20 Million Atlanta, GA – June 6, 2025 – Brit Eady, a cast member of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, and its production companies. The suit alleges defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and sexual harassment. The legal action stems from a controversy involving explicit images and Bravo's alleged role in disseminating false information. According to court documents, Eady claims Bravo knowingly used an image that was not hers, falsely implying her involvement in a compromising situation. This image was later shown on the show, with the cast's reactions to the incident being aired in an April episode. Eady's lawyer stated, "Bravo's actions were not only damaging to Ms. Eady's reputation but also created a hostile work environment." Eady further alleges that Bravo contributed to this hostile environment by requiring her to continue working after experiencing what she describes as a "gendered attack." Bravo has yet to issue a public statement regarding the lawsuit. The case is expected to generate significant interest and discussion within the entertainment industry and beyond, raising important questions about the responsibilities of media companies and the protection of individuals from harassment and defamation.
