Brandi Glanville Quit Making a Stink, Joanna!! 'Smelly Vagina' Just Part of the Deal

Published | Updated

Brandi Glanville had carte blanche to criticize or poke fun at Joanna Krupa's genitals ... at least that's what Brandi claimed under oath.

Brandi was deposed in the infamous smelly vagina lawsuit filed by Joanna -- and told Joanna's lawyer ... she "didn't say anything that I knew to be false." You'll recall ... Brandi made the vajayjay claim during a 2015 'Watch What Happens Live' appearance.

According to the depo transcript, obtained by TMZ, Brandi also said you get what you sign up for when you're on a reality show. Joanna's lawyer asked, "Do you think that means you can say things like her pu**y smells?" Glanville replied, "Well, yeah."

Brandi also reiterated her claim the 'Housewives' contract bars cast members from suing each other. She insists being on the show means dealing with "the good, the bad and the ugly that comes along with it."

She wants the court to toss Joanna's defamation suit like it's day-old fish.

Rick Ross Sued You Bailed on Us!!! Gonna Need That $87k

Published | Updated

Rick Ross was a no-show for a concert, but still made off with a ton of cash ... so claims the company suing him to get back that dough.

Washington County Family Entertainment says it hired Rick for an outdoor concert at Wild Things Park in Washington, PA -- but the Boss bailed just 2 days before the show. According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Rick's contract explicitly said he "cannot cancel once the contract is executed and tickets are on sale."

WCFE says Rick's camp explained it had to cancel Rick's entire weekend lineup due to family and health issues. The problem is ... Rick go$150k up front, according to docs, but he's refunded less than half that amount.

WCFE is suing to get the remaining $87,500 balance plus expenses.

Rick's booking agency says it only received $40k, not $150k, and the contract always allowed for him to reschedule if he couldn't perform due to illness. Rick's team says they wanted a rain check to Aug. 12, but that seems unlikely now ... with the lawsuit and such.

Venus Williams Cops Won't Release Car Crash Surveillance Video

Published | Updated

The Venus Williams fatal car crash has gotten weird ... cops are refusing to give the widow of the man who was killed the surveillance video that captured the entire crash ... so claims the woman's legal team.

The video was shot from a security camera at a nearby gated community ... the same place Venus and her sister, Serena, live.

The footage is crucial because of the conflicting stories ... Venus says she had a green light and was traveling at only 5 MPH when she was blocked by traffic in the intersection. Linda Barson, the driver of the other car, claims Venus blew a red light and was speeding.

Barson's lawyers say they have repeatedly asked cops for a copy of the video or even just to view it. They've also filed a subpoena for the video, but they have been shut down -- although they say cops told them today, "Maybe next week."

The lawyers also asked the board at the gated community for a copy of the video but were told no. Lawyers are now in the process of attempting to subpoena the footage.

We're also told cops downloaded information from the black box in Barson's Hyundai, but did not do the same with Venus' SUV. In fact, Barson's lawyers say cops told them they tried to download the SUV's black box but were unable to and they told the tow yard they could release the vehicle to Venus ... as opposed to keeping it as evidence until they could figure out how to download the info.

Loville got his supply from an offshore gambling and drug trafficking empire known as ODOG -- an operation run by his friend and former USC football player Owen Hanson, as reported by the San Diego Union Tribune.

The three-time Super Bowl champ was a small-time dealer, mainly distributing to personal friends ... though one claims to have purchased 100 pills at a time from Loville.

The former 49ers starter says he didn't know the extent of Hanson's network until he was arrested ... and has lost "all my respect" through his involvement with the crime boss.
