Little Women: LA star Briana Renee Manson recently sat down with In Touch Weekly to discuss the strained relationships in her life.
First, Briana talked about her relationship with her estranged husband, Matt Grundhoffer, whom she recently split with after three years of marriage. The couple’s marriage has been rocky from the start, but Briana revealed what caused her to realize that she needed to end it.
“The final straw for me was that I had my trust broken one too many times, and even with marriage counseling, I couldn’t get myself back to a place where I didn’t question him all the time,” Briana told the mag.
Briana said Matt’s past betrayals always managed to creep back into their relationship.
“I grew resentful and unappreciative of anything nice he would do, and we just started fighting all the time. We became toxic and I can’t expect him to be someone he’s not,” she said.
While the romantic partnership may be over, the couple is still co-parenting…and cohabitating, at least for now. The couple shares the parenting duties of their son Maverick and Briana’s daughter Leiana from a previous relationship, so they are trying to keep the kids’ best interests in mind, according to Briana.
“He has his lifestyle and I have mine,” she said. “We can be friendly toward one another, and come together for anything important involving Maverick and even Leiana too, but that’s as far as our relationship will go. There is no chance of reconciliation.”
That’s not the only conflict in Briana’s life currently, of course. She’s also at odds with her ‘Little Women: LA’ co-star, Terra Jolé…again. The pair has had their share of ups and downs throughout the course of the show.
“We are not friends, and never will be,” Briana said of her co-star. “I wish her well in life but her definition of friendship is very skewed. I would not let such disgust come out of my mouth, or in writing, towards someone I called a ‘friend.’”
While Briana and Terra may not be BFFs, Briana did say her relationships with her other ‘Little Women: LA’ castmates are improving.
“We all have different levels of friendship,” Briana said. “I had to pull back for some personal, and health reasons, but sometimes life pulls you away and it’s all about how you come back together.”
The Ashley has reached out to Terra for comment on Briana’s interview, and she will update this story when more info is available.

Sadly, Brianna didn’t see that All the ladies tried to help her. I get when the parents see it and kids don’t listen but usually when your friends see the problem, you should listen. They had your best interest at heart, even Christy. She knew first hand. I know this because I’ve had fat lips and black eyes and a gun to my head. Then I was married for 38 years to a verbally abusive man, we had 4 kids and once in a while he’d hit me. That stopped after he went to jail. But he never believed verbal abuse was real. So now my daughter is with a scum bag who she won’t leave because of their 2 kids. The cycle continues. Please 🙏 listen to people who are giving you the warnings. Even parents are only Loving you! You don’t deserve to be cheated on verbally or physically/sexually abused!!! This is America! Honestly porn has a lot to do it. God can change ALL of this. With men and women! So many has lost sight of God! He is real and wants better for us ALL!
Never trust a man who wears a fedora and white oakleys ?
GOOD ONE !!!!!
Why they had to bring an innocent child into this mess is beyond me. Now she has 2 kids in a messed up situation.
