Brandi Glanville was nixed from a casino hosting gig after a racist remark to a co-star.

Brandi Glanville's thoughtless remark to a co-star has cost her some serious cash.

According to Radar Online, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa, Fla., announced that it had dropped Glanville from a party-hosting gig in the wake of a racist remark she made to fellow "Real housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star Joyce Giraud.

"As a company who prides itself on its core values of 'Love All, Serve All,' SHRHC has decided to proceed with the planned pary without Ms. Glanville's appearance due to recent developments that include remarks towards African-Americans made by Ms. Glanville on her hit Bravo TV show 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,'" hotel President John Fontanta told the gossip site in a statement.

"Until this situation is behind her, our organization feels it's best to reinforce our culture and values at this time, which consist of love and respect for all."

Glanville stirred up controversy during a Dec. 9 episode when, after co-star Giraud admitted she couldn't swim, Glanville remarked, "You're black."

Joyce Giraud was the victim of a racist remark from Glanville on 'The Real HOusewives of Beverly Hills.'

Yes, I'm black," Giraud responded. "What's your problem? Puerto Ricans are black, they're Indian and they're Spanish. So I am a mix of three cultures and I'm very proud to represent all three."

Glanville has insisted that the comment was taken out of context.

"It was a joke and my black friends would've laughed like crazy, because they don't go in the pool because they will get their weave f--ked up," Glanville said.

Glanville later apologized on "Watch What Happens Live!"

"I know what I said was definitely inappropriate, but I say a lot of inappropriate things. I'm not racist, I'm just inappropriate 90% of the time!" Glanville insisted.
