Brandi Glanville’s disfigured face sparks concern as doctors think it’s from ‘parasite that jumps around’
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.
Glanville has repeatedly denied the allegations and threatened to sue Bravo herself for ruining her health.

"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.
