'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 4 Reunion: Brandi Glanville Denies Drinking Problem (VIDEO)
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville was under fire for her drinking habits during the season 4 reunion show part 2, which aired Monday.
The Bravo TV star, 41, was asked about her drinking by host Andy Cohen, who at one point asked her co-stars to weight in. Glanville was subject to criticism last year when bizarre photos of her taken during a night out surfaced online.
"I think that Brandi at times takes it too far, she says that herself," Kyle Richards told Cohen.

Joyce Giraud, who has been embroiled in a feud with Glanville since joining the show this season, previously said the mother of two needs rehab. When Cohen asked her to elaborate on her comments, she did not back down.
"I honestly think she has a problem ... as a public figure yes you can get drunk with your friends [but] when you get to the point where you're showing your private parts," Giraud said. "You've got to consider ... 'maybe I do have a problem?'"
Glanville's former best friend and costar Lisa Vanderpump also weighed in, revealing that she has tried to intervene in the past.
"It all became a bit too much really. I wanted to try and help her and take control, but she pushed me away," Vanderpump said.
Glanville denied she has a substance abuse problem, but she acknowledged that she does enjoy wine.
"The truth is we're not always drinking ... we're at social events, on vacations and that's what you show on the show," she said in her own defense. "Do I lean on it when Im depressed or when we're having a good time? Yes. Im not in the bathroom doing cocaine, not in the car smoking pot ... I like my wine."
The best-selling author has struggled emotionally since her 2010 divorce from Eddie Cibrian. In 2009 the actor infamously had an extramarital affair with a then-married singer LeAnn Rimes, which ultimately left Glanville shattered.
The reality star has been embroiled in an ongoing public feud with Rimes, 31, ever since which she admits still affects her life.
