Brandi Glanville has a very good reason for posting that nearly-naked photo earlier this week: she was beating someone else to the punch!
On the latest episode of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast, the reality TV star explains why she decided to share a topless photo showing her in only a thong on her Instagram page this past Monday. In the pic, she's seen with her backside to the camera, booty on display.
While she said she wanted to prove that "moms are hot," there was actually something a little more sinister behind the post.
"Here's the real deal. I'm very proud of my body, I take good care of it. Mark [Hasche, her hairstylist] took that picture last Christmas when he was taking my weave out," she revealed on her show. "Then I was texting with somebody who I used to date and he very passive aggressively made it known and made it very well aware that he had a lot of sexy pictures with me, so I had better be nice to him in the press."
"I'm like, that's blackmail! It's passive aggressive blackmail," she continues. "I went and looked at what I sent him and I thought, this is probably the most naked one I sent him and get in front of it, put it out there and I know I'm gonna get hate for it, but my ass looks good, I'm happy with it and what, what's he gonna do?"
After her producer, Ray, chimed in, saying he probably just didn't want her "tweeting pictures of his small penis," she agreed "100%."
Glanville also opened up about some of the backlash that she got after putting the photo on her social media pages. Many of the comments brought up her sons with ex Eddie Cibrian.
"You can't see anything except for my ass cheeks. All of a sudden, I'm a horrible mom because I have a picture of my ass out there? [People saying] I'm a horrible mom, I'm sure your boys are proud," she said. "My kids will be proud of me because I'm putting, not only my ass online, but food on the table. I'm taking care of them. People can motherf--king suck it!"
Brandi first dropped the booty pic on Monday, explaining she had been wanting to post the photo to show how hard she's worked on her bod -- adding she's "proud" to look like this as a 43-year-old with two kids.
"I love that @kimkardashian makes the point that moms are hot even after kids and post sexy selfies," she captioned the original pic. "I've prepped for the haters & was given the blessing of my family! Zero filters zero photo shop #ankle weights work!"
