14 DAY TRIAL // You’d think that being on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality show, Brandi Glanville would be used by now to coping with pressure and drama, be it manufactured or not. She’s now shooting for the latest season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice and, as per reports, she’s having a very hard time with it.
Fans must know that the series revolves around a business concept, pitting celebrities against each other in a race to make their business endeavors profitable. After each round, Donald Trump and a panel of judges eliminate those who made less money, with Trump using his catchphrase “You’re fired!”
Also on the show this season is Kate Gosselin aka the “original Octomom,” former star of TLC’s now-defunct series Jon & Kate Plus 8.
Radar Online has learned from sources on the set that Brandi is under so much pressure with each competition round that she’s been turning to alcohol and Xanax to try to wind down. On the verge of “cracking under pressure,” she’s also been reprimanded for her boozing and pill-popping on set, claims the report.
“Brandi got reprimanded for her behavior. She was sent to hotel to get herself together,” says a source. “Brandi told Donald she was crumbling under the pressure.”
Things are so bad with Brandi that even her frenemies on RHOBH have approached her to tell her that she needs to calm down and just try to deal with everything on her own, without the help of pills and alcohol.
“Brandi admitted to taking Xanax and alcohol to cope with the high stress of the show. Everyone is noticing Brandi’s problems and how it is affecting filming,” says another source.
On the RHOBH series too, Brandi has made somewhat of a reputation for herself as a drunk, but, whenever confronted about it, she insisted she didn’t have a problem per se. Just recently, the reality star admitted to a bad habit of ingesting too much alcohol in stressful situations and it seems that this is the case too with Celebrity Apprentice.
As for how Kate Gosselin might be coping with the pressure on the show, no word on that just yet. The other day, she was photographed in a wedding dress, leaving a rental shop for bridal stuff. She’s also made and served pancakes, and attended business meetings.
Seeing how Mrs. Gosselin has been trying for years to make her comeback to TV, Celebrity Apprentice might prove just the right thing for her.
