Over the course of the last year, Brandi Glanville has spent money amounting to thousands of dollars in an effort to find a cure to the unidentified “parasite” that has been responsible for her facial deformity.
The former cast member of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recently gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight in which she discussed her issues with her health and the mounting anger she feels as a result of not receiving a diagnosis from medical specialists.
“To tell you the truth, I know a lot of physicians, and I’ve been through a lot of tests. As the 52-year-old individual said to the site, “I did lab work for $10,000.” “Every test imaginable was carried out by them. As far as they are concerned, “It might be a parasite that is brand new.”
This whole year, I have been taking medication. She continued by saying, “I don’t engage in social activities.” In order to find out what’s wrong with me, I don’t go out, and I’m spending all of my money trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.
It was said by Glanville that she has spent “over $70,000” up to this point, and that each therapy that she has attempted has only been a temporary solution. She stated that she has also been “stressed” by the fact that she has been unable to work for the last two years and has been coping with the medical expenditures.
The reality star has said that she feels the time she spent in Morocco shooting the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco is the cause of her current health problems.
She said that we had food that had been left out for a considerable amount of time, and that part of it was meat. “Six months after I returned from Morocco, I began experiencing this swelling up and speaking thing. I also started developing this speaking thing. We have been here since July, and we are still trying to figure out what’s going on now.
When Glanville “messes with it,” she is able to see and feel the unknown “parasite” move inside her face. It appears to her as “tiny bubbles bursting” on her skin. Glanville claimed that she can see and feel the activity. “I feel like it’s s—ing or having babies in my face,” she said in addition.
Following her visits to a large number of medical professionals, she states, “I’m not getting my hopes up anymore.”
“It is a terrible thing to say, but even if it is something as little as a tumor, I want to know. To continue, she said, “I would like to have just an answer.” That would be incredible, I think.

On the 7th of December, Glanville shared a photograph of the facial deformities that she has been enduring on X, which was once known as Twitter. In an interview with ET, she said that the reason she made the decision to be open and honest about her health was because “I was outraged.”
Her explanation was, “Because I’m so sick of the narrative that I’m sitting around having plastic surgery all the time,” and she explained why she felt this way. “First of all, even if I wanted it, I would not be able to buy it. A second time, no. When all of these cruel remarks were there, I may have been drinking and tweeting while I was under the influence of alcohol, but I simply went over the deep end. I am now seated at home because of this. Due to this reason, I do not walk the red carpet. Simply because I do not want to go out in such a state.
She said, “Everyone thinks I’m so tough, but right now I’m fragile.” However, she was vulnerable. “This is a challenging time for me,” she said. I can’t recall a single day in which I didn’t shed a tear. Then you should just leave me alone.
As 2025 draws near, Glanville has stated that she is only praying that she will be able to overcome the challenges she is facing with her health in the next year.
“In all honesty, health is wealth, and those are the only things I desire,” she said.
