LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Reality television star Brandi Glanville shocked her fans with a health update as she shared a selfie showing her disfigured face on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, December 7.

According to Page Six, Glanville had previously blamed the television network Bravo and the stress associated with work for her swollen face in July. Her symptoms have been ongoing since October 2023, when she had to be rushed to the hospital after passing out with a swollen face that caused her eyes to be closed shut.



 

Brandi Glanville's distressing health update

Taking to X, 52-year-old 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum Brandi Glanville uploaded a selfie showing her facial disfigurement on Saturday, simply writing in the caption, "Sick it!”

She went on to explain in a follow-up post, "What happened? I wish I knew I've been in & out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr's say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it's stress induced edema. I personally say it's Bravo."



 

Back in July, Glanville had shared another picture of her then-swollen face on the platform, stating, "This is why I'm miserable and depressed. I'm not even gonna share the picture of when it sinks in. Stress will kill you. How is your wealth? Take care of yourself people thank you Bravo. I couldn't even work if I wanted to at this point."



 

Brandi Glanville and Bravo co-star Caroline Manzo's drama

An insider had revealed at the time, "Brandi’s been under so much stress since ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ drama started with Caroline Manzo.”

Glanville and Manzo, a 63-year-old alum of 'Real Housewives of New Jersey', filmed Season 4 of 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' together in January 2023. Manzo accused Glanville of inappropriately touching her during filming, and sued the network for allegedly not protecting her and using the drama to boost their ratings.

Internet reacts to Brandi Glanville's facial disfigurement

Netizens were shocked to see the selfie uploaded by Brandi Glanville on X. While some showed genuine concern for the star, others blamed cosmetic enhancements for her condition. The following tweets demonstrate the predominant takes.

"Brandi this can’t be real you were beautiful," wrote a user.



 

"Thank You Brandi, it’s important to show the young people what happens when you kill all your muscles in your face with Botox. I’m in admiration for you posting this picture just so you know," stated another.



 

"Screaming sooooo louddd," expressed a third.



 

"This looks like some kind of allergic reaction to something…her eyelids are swollen. Filler doesn’t do that. People can be so rude," noted one user.



 

"GET A NEW DOCTOR!" exclaimed another.



 

"Screw the haters. Would love them to do a face reveal. You still run circles around them. That’s why they are MAD," shared yet another user.
