Brandi Glanville, a well-known TV personality and star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has recently shared an emotional update about her ongoing health challenges. She is currently battling a facial infection that has spread to her right arm, a condition she claims has gone undiagnosed for years. Glanville has spent thousands on medical treatment and is now undergoing a complex and lengthy regimen to address the issue.
The infection, which she describes as a "fungal ball" on her face, is hard as a rock and has a curved shape. Medical professionals have diagnosed her with several conditions, including highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (also known as Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis, and Mononucleosis. Her treatment plan includes the removal of the fungal ball, metals from old dental work, and the removal of her breast implants. She is also receiving daily intravenous (IV) treatments for four to six months.
Glanville has described the treatment process as extremely challenging, with minimal improvement so far. She still has a few surgeries left and months of treatment ahead. Despite having health insurance, she said the costs are still substantial, ranging from $3,300 to $6,000 per month. She is currently unable to work, except for her podcast, and is uncertain how she will manage financially or emotionally over the coming months.
Glanville has been open about her health struggles since July 2023, when she believed her issues began after eating something while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. She was later diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema, a condition that causes severe facial swelling, and spent over $70,000 on treatment. Earlier this year, she claimed that her facial disfigurement was caused by a parasite from her 18-year-old silicone breast implants, which she said had clogged her lymph nodes. She had the implants removed but still believes the parasite originated from that incident.
In her latest update, Glanville shared "some really bad moments," showing her current state of health without concern for how she looks in the videos. She asked for kindness in the comments, saying she is already fighting enough. She expressed her desire to have the infection removed from her body and to regain her health and life, stating, "I just want this s*** OUT of my body. I want my health back. I want my life back. I want to feel like me again." She plans to continue sharing updates with her followers about her ongoing treatments and surgeries, hoping to one day reach the "other side" of her health journey.
