GettyManzo appeared on the “Legally Goff” podcast in September 2026. During the episode, the host asked the RHONJ alum about “Morocco,” noting that the season has not aired but that the footage exists. Specifically, Manzo asked if she was “fearful” that it may be released once “all the litigation is over.”
She responded, “The only thing that I’m fearful with that is what it will do to me mentally.” After that, Manzo proclaimed not to be “afraid of anything.” She continued, “I fear for my, cause it never goes away, my grandson, who is two weeks old today, will find that somewhere. It will never go away, and I don’t know that I have the capacity to mentally deal with that for the rest of my life.”
From there, she stated that she’s currently dealing with the events from “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco,” but the anguish isn’t as severe as if the public had seen the footage.
She went on, “Can you imagine if it’s out there and I have all the opinions and everything?” Manzo added, “So, I don’t know that I could handle that mentally,” before noting, “And I’m tough.”

After that, she gave an assessment of Glanville, saying, “Brandi’s broken. I would like to fix Brandi. That would make me happy.” In discussing the situation that happened between then, Manzo stated that she didn’t know why it went down.
She said, “We had an argument the day before; I don’t know.” Manzo then shared that she “hadn’t seen a lot of the footage,” but that her legal representation has viewed it. The RHONJ alum went on, “I can’t watch it. The one time I did watch a few minutes, I was not right for months.”

The following day, Glanville was removed from the group, and Manzo later left the trip. She filed her lawsuit in January of the following year.
One of the most recent times the season has been discussed was in 2025, when McCord appeared on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show.
Cohen said to the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, “One of the reasons I’m so glad you’re back here shooting this is you were so good on the ‘Ultimate Girls Trip Morocco,’ which hasn’t seen the light of day. And I just … one of the reasons that I’m disappointed in that is that you’re so great for a whole lot of reasons on that show. Was that experience outside of what we’ve heard about?”
She responded, “You know what? That was a great experience. I remember being really sort of freaked out about it and like, ‘What’s this going to be like?’ And, you know, how sometimes you just have to take a flying leap off a cliff? I thought, ‘All right, I’m doing this.'”
