Brandi GlanvilleandCaroline Manzodeparted the fourth season ofThe Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Tripahead of schedule, three sources close to the show tell PEOPLE.
The two reality stars were filming in Marrakech, Morocco last week forthe second installment of the Peacock franchise’sEx-Wives Clubformatwhen, according to insiders, Glanville took things too far with Manzo during a party, kissing her multiple times throughout the evening without her consent.
“It was unwanted,” a source says. “And Caroline’s distress over the matter did not seem to stop Brandi. Things escalated and physical boundaries allegedly were crossed that Caroline felt were serious and uncomfortable.”
Filming continued that night and into the next morning when Glanville, a second source notes, was made aware of Manzo’s feelings and apologized via text message.

Still, a decision was made that afternoon unbeknownst to Manzo to remove Glanville from the trip early. “Brandi’s behavior was inappropriate,” a third source says, “so she was asked to leave.”
CostarsVicki Gunvalson,Eva Marcille,Phaedra Parks,Camille Meyer,Alex McCordandGretchen Rossiwere supportive of her decision, the second source notes, as was production. Filming continued on the series and wrapped on Saturday night.
Representatives for Peacock, Manzo and Glanville had no comment to PEOPLE.

Earlier on Saturday, Manzo, 61, shared a photo to her Instagram Story of granddaughter Marchesa (a.k.a. Markie) at her cheer competition. She was later tagged in a post at a restaurant with her daughter, Lauren.
Glanville, 50, shared a photo of a camel presumably taken from the trip. “Bon Soir Morocco,” she wrote, using the French phrase for “Good evening.” She added three heart emojis and the Arabic word for thank you, “SHUKRAN.”
