‘We actually don’t have an open marriage,’ responded the 49-year-old actress to a commenter.

In further posts, Glanville said she would be willing to ‘take a lie detector test’ because she is ‘not lying about ANYTHING’ regarding what happened between her and Denise.
‘Let’s be clear I was not EVEN the aggressor!!!!,’ concluded the enraged reality star, implying Richards was in instigator of the whole fling.
