Doctors believe Glanville has a parasite moving around her face and body but have still not been able to formally diagnose her.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m out of funds. I\u2019m out over six figures at this point,\u2019 Glanville told Us Weekly. \u2018I don\u2019t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I\u2019m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It\u2019s exhausting. It\u2019s all-consuming. I just wanna find a doctor who makes it, like, his mission to help me.\u2019<\/p>\n Glanville was diagnosed with a facial parasite in December 2024, although doctors are still stumped at how to treat it. The former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills posted pictures of her face seemingly disfigured on X last year, showing painful lumps that moved around. More recently, Glanville says the parasite has extended down her body and has causing acidic liquid to \u2018eat away\u2019 at her teeth.<\/p>\n She\u2019s undergone CAT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds, but Glanville says no doctors have been able to determine \u2018whatever is living in my face\u2019. \u2018It\u2019s moving down my body, like, literally in my neck now moving on my left shoulder [and] down my arm,\u2019 she said. \u2018I have to get up, I have to stretch, I have to get in a hot tub. I have a routine, and it sucks.\u2019<\/p>\n The parasite is also causing \u2018constant oily foul-tasting drainage\u2019 to seep into her mouth and Glanville says that the \u2018acidic\u2019 liquid is now \u2018eating away\u2019 at her teeth too. Having spent so much seeking a diagnosis and treatment plan, Glanville now says she\u2019s at her \u2018wits end.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018And not just me, [but] these other poor women who have been going through this for so long, and men, too. I\u2019ve had a couple men reach out. I feel for them, like, I know exactly what they\u2019re talking about and the pressure in their head, how they feel it\u2019s gonna explode. \u2026 I\u2019m at my wits\u2019 end.\u2019<\/p>\n Last year, Glanville claimed that her changed appearance came as a result of stress from working on the Real Housewives spin-off \u2018Ultimate Girls Trip\u2019, evening threatening to sue Bravo at one point. Glanville has not yet filed legal action and Bravo have not responded to her claims.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/04\/Brandi-Glanville.jpeg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Brandi Glanville” title_text=”Brandi Glanville” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Glanville first appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2011, starring on the show for five years before taking a three-year break and then returning from 2019-2020. In 2022, she joined the Ultimate Girls Trip spin-off with fellow Beverly Hills co-star Taylor Armstrong. The spin-off has been so dramatic for Glanville it has caused her \u2018extreme stress\u2019, according to Entertainment Tonight.<\/p>\n Part of the filming for Ultimate Girls Trip was in Morocco, where Glanville believes she contracted the parasite. On her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, she said she\u2019s all of her face fillers dissolved to try and better understand her facial disfigurement, as well as CellSound treatment (therapeutic sound waves).<\/p>\n \u2018\u201cI’m sick of hearing myself complain. I’m sick of everything. I’m sick of the way I look. I’m sick of, like, just hiding out in my house,\u2019 she continued, adding that an unnamed friend had recently told her to \u2018get over\u2019 her health condition and stop talking about it. \u2018F\u2014 you,\u2019 she said in response. \u2018I would love to. Do you think I wanna complain? Like, don’t call me. This is my story right now.\u2019<\/p>\n Outside of reality TV, Glanville is best known for being a model. In 2001, she married actor Eddie Cibrian, going on to have two sons, Mason and Jake. The couple separated in 2009 after Cibrian had an affair with country music singer LeAnne Rimes, whom he went on to marry.<\/p>\n “Marriages break up all the time,\u2019 Glanville said of her divorce in 2013. \u2018People have affairs. Happens every day. It matters how you handle yourself after and if you’re actually remorseful. I’ve never found LeAnn to be remorseful. I found her to be like, \u201cNah-nah-nah-nah-nah, I got your family\u201d\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/04\/GettyImages-1071898084.jpg” alt=”Brandi Glanville” title_text=”WE tv Celebrates The Return Of %22Love After Lockup%22 With Panel %22Real Love: Relationship Reality TV’s Past, Present & Future%22″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Some years later, however, Glanville and Rimes have clearly made amends, with Glanville referring to the pair as \u2018sister wives\u2019. “I think we both grew up quite a bit,\u2019 Glanville said in 2018. \u2018And we both love Eddie’s parents. We both love the kids, and Eddie’s going to be in my life for the rest of my life. […] We’re like sister wives. It’s me and LeAnn and Eddie.\u2019<\/p>\n Now, Glanville just hopes she can find a way to move forward and treat her facial condition.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photo: <\/b>X@BrandiGlanville\/Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ‘mystery illness’ sounds horrendous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-news"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8651"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8660,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651\/revisions\/8660"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
