Brittany Cartwright and her pals from The Valley are clapping back at body-shamers amid rumors about the mother of one and her alleged new boyfriend.
On the September 6 episode of her When Reality Hits podcast, Brit and guest Jasmine Goode touched on her recent trip to Cabo with “good friend” and rumored boyfriend, Brandon; an excursion that found its way to the tabloids as romance rumors continue to swirl. Things became even more sensationalized when Shahs of Sunset’s Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, more specifically, commented on a fan page about paparazzi photos of the pair on the beach, wondering, “No shade, but is she pregnant too? I mean, he’s holding her belly, and the belly is definitely bellying,” as read by Brittany on her podcast.
Brittany swiftly shut down pregnancy rumors, stating: “I had no issue with her at all, so it was just strange … I would never, as a woman or as a human being, go and comment something about somebody else’s body.”
Continued Brittany, “Obviously, if it was a pregnancy announcement, I would be announcing my pregnancy.”

Later in the podcast, Brittany said it was “not OK to body shame, ever,” but noted that she didn’t want it to be “a big thing” between her and GG. However, it would admittedly make things “awkward” when the Bravolebs would have to run into one another.
“It’s gotten too far on social media, and we’re all in the Bravo world, and I’d rather make this a learning moment, a teaching moment than be like, ‘I hate her,’” the Vanderpump Rules alum explained. “I get so much hate on the daily, I don’t want it from someone who’s doing reality TV… I would never do that to her.”
In the end, Brittany wished GG nothing but the best.

Friends didn’t take the various comments about Brittany’s body sitting down, beginning with BFF Kristen Doute, who called GG’s words “f–king disgusting.” Even Kristen’s frenemy, Janet Caperna, praised Kristen’s pushback when stating, “I never thought I’d say this, but GO KRISTEN! There’s no place for body shaming or pregnancy speculation in 2025.”
GG initially doubled down on her comments when responding to Kristen, as seen in screenshots posted by Kristen onto her IG Stories, but later admitted she was “clearly wrong” about her assumption.

Zack Wickham, meanwhile, also came to Brittany’s defense. “Comments like this and unnecessary speculation over women’s bodies is harmful and quite frankly gross,” he wrote in-part.
On When Reality Hits, Brittany said she was grateful that her friends shielded her from the ongoing social media war until after she returned from Cabo. The photos, she firmly stated, were not staged, and she had no idea paparazzi were there.

Before returning to the United States to learn of the IG drama, Brittany and Brandon had an “amazing” time on their Mexican holiday.
“We had a great time. We stayed in Nobu in Cabo, it was so fun. We took a boat out one day and just had the best time,” Brittany revealed. “I just needed a vacation, get away from all the craziness, everything I’ve been through, and just like really have fun with someone who’s so fun and so nice and so kind, and it was just like a great time.”
