Real Housewives of Dallas alum Stephanie Hollman says her former cast was "over-served" and "starved" during filming, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Hollman's allegations came after two high-powered lawyers fired off a legal letter accusing Bravo's parent company, NBC, of covering up alleged sexual misconduct and intentionally putting reality stars in distress for content purposes.

Hollman's allegations mirrored those of current and former NBC talent, who rallied against the network, claiming mistreatment of cast members.

According to a letter from attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos, the reality stars were subjected to "grotesque and depraved mistreatment" during filming.

The allegations included stars being mentally manipulated with alcohol while simultaneously being deprived of adequate sleep and food, all in an alleged effort to cause drama for cameras.

The letter further alleged that their mental health concerns were neglected by the network, with stars alleging that mental health treatment was denied by NBC, even when the television personalities displayed signs of mental deterioration. Additionally, cast members claimed they weren't allowed to leave their shows.

The letter later alleged that the network "threatened [cast members] with ruin should they decide to speak out about their mistreatment."

A spokesperson for the network responded to the allegations, telling RadarOnline.com, "NBCUniversal is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows."
