Brandi Glanville posts racy snap after being 'blackmailed'

Brandi Glanville posted a racy snap on Instagram after reportedly being blackmailed by an ex-boyfriend.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared the snap on Monday (11Apr16) which showed her in a thong sat on a chair in a bedroom, with her back to the camera.

She captioned the saucy snap, "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. I've prepped for the haters & was given the blessing of my family! Zero filters zero photo shop #ankle weights work!"

Brandi later revealed on Friday that she shared the photo due to a former flame blackmailing her over sexy photos he had of the reality star.

"First of all, I'm very proud of my body," she said in her PodcastOne show, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, before claiming that her ex "very passive- aggressively, made it known and made me very well aware that he had a lot of sexy pictures with me, so I had better be nice to him in the press.

"For me... I'm like, 'That's blackmail. That's like passive-aggressive blackmail,'" she continued. "So I went in and looked at what I sent him, and I thought, 'You know what? This is probably the most naked one I sent him, and I'm just going to get out in front of it, put it out there."

"I know I'm going to get hate for it, but my a** looks good," Glanville added. "I'm happy with it, and what's he going to do?"
