Brandi Glanville recently shared a photo of her butt on Instagram, but apparently, it wasn't completely her choice to do so.

During a recent taping of her Podcast One series, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed she was blackmailed into posting the photo by an ex.

"Here's the real deal. I'm very proud of my body, I take good care of it. Mark [Hasche, her hairstylist] took that picture last Christmas when he was taking my weave out," Glanville explained to listeners, via Wonderwall. "Then I was texting with somebody who I used to date and he very passive aggressively made it known and made it very well aware that he had a lot of sexy pictures with me, so I had better be nice to him in the press."

"I'm like, that's blackmail! It's passive aggressive blackmail," she recalled. "I went and looked at what I sent him and I thought, this is probably the most naked one I sent him and get in front of it, put it out there and I know I'm gonna get hate for it, but my a— looks good, I'm happy with it and what, what's he gonna do? You can't see anything except for my a— cheeks. All of a sudden, I'm a horrible mom because I have a picture of my a— out there? My kids will be proud of me because I'm putting, not only my a— online, but food on the table. I'm taking care of them."

At the time she shared the racy photo, Granville told fans, "I've struggled with wanting to post this but I've worked so hard on my body & at 43 after 2 kids I'm very proud. I love that @kimkardashian makes the point that moms are hot even after kids and post sexy selfies."

Glanville also claimed her family was on board with the photo, explaining, "I've prepped for the haters & was given the blessing of my family! Zero filters zero photo shop #ankle weights work!"
