Brandi Glanville from the Beverly Hills Housewives is accused of assaulting an African American man last night inside a Hollywood party.

The man, an African American actor named Gatsby Randolph, told MTO News that Brandi started punching him in the face for no reason. Brandi is alleged to have a problem with alcohol abuse.

The victim claimed that he did NOTHING AT ALL towards Brandi - and she just started punching him.

Then, according to the victim, security at the Hollywood costume party took BRANDI'S side in the altercation. The man was thrown out of the party for "violence", and Brandi was allowed to stay.

Eventually the African American victim called the police - who took Brandi into custody.
