Who is this attacker of Brandi Glanville and why do we care what she thinks? A deep-dive into Resnick's history!

The most recent episode of Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which aired on Dec. 17, ended with recurring castmember Faye Resnick yelling at the refreshingly honest and self-deprecating Brandi Glanville. The subject of the yelling: Brandi's recent on-camera blabbing that Housewives' Adrienne Maloof and her (now ex-) husband, Paul Nassif, apparently had used a surrogate for their three children. Resnick and Adrienne are friends, and Resnick was demanding Brandi apologize to Adrienne. She demanded it a lot.
What Brandi had actually said about Adrienne was made inaudible by Bravo, so we viewers had to turn to the Internet and gossip press to find out: it seems that Maloof wanted to tell her kids about the surrogacy herself when the time was right.
Those of us who are Brandi fans - me! – have already come to terms with the fact that her blasting out someone's personal family business wasn't her greatest moment. On her Bravo blog, Brandi herself wrote, "I said something I shouldn't have said and I am sorry and I now regret it."
Monday's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the first since the holidays, picks up right where the last episode left off: with Faye making Brandi cry and driving her from the dinner party. How dare she? Why don't you butt out, Faye Resnick? Are you, as Vulture's genius recapper Julie Klausner, has written, a garbage person?
Who are you, Faye Resnick?
14 Things to Know About Faye Resnick
1) People who were riveted by the trial of O.J. Simpson – me! – remember Faye Resnick well. She was a close friend of Nicole Brown Simpson, whom O.J. was accused of killing (along with Ron Goldman, who was at Nicole's house that night). Resnick adamantly asserted before and during O.J.'s trial that he had beaten Nicole, and that Nicole feared he would kill her. She testified for the prosecution at the trial. (I asked to interview Resnick through Bravo, and she declined.)
