Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville is facing scrutiny over her recent health issues, which she claims have caused severe skin problems. In a shocking selfie shared on social media, Brandi revealed her disfigured face, prompting widespread concern from her fans.
Brandi, who has been candid about her personal struggles, took to Instagram on December 7 to announce her return to the Cameo platform after a year-long hiatus. In her post, she explained that her skin issues were a result of ongoing health problems, but emphasized she was no longer hiding her struggles.
“Guys, this is an old cameo! I used it to promote that I’m back on after a year-plus hiatus. Let me share what I look like & why I had to take a pause… check next post & f***ing suck it haters,” Brandi wrote, addressing the online criticism head-on.
Following her initial post, Brandi shared a second selfie, further explaining that her condition had kept her in and out of hospitals, seeking treatments and spending money to resolve her issues. She also suggested that her deteriorating health was linked to her tumultuous relationship with Bravo.
“Some doctors say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress-induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo,” Brandi concluded in her candid post.
Earlier this year, Brandi took a break from the public eye to recover from “stress-induced” angioedema, a condition that causes swelling, particularly around the face. She has previously accused Bravo of exacerbating her stress, even threatening legal action in relation to the emotional toll caused by her time on The Real Housewives franchise.
In recent weeks, speculation has swirled online about whether plastic surgery could be contributing to Brandi’s disfigurement. Dr. Mark Solomos, a plastic surgeon who has not treated Brandi, suggested in an interview that the appearance could be linked to complications from dermal fillers.
“Fillers never go away, and over time, they can cause specific complications, such as angioedema—when deep layers of skin swell due to a buildup of fluids,” Dr. Solomos explained.
Brandi’s health struggles come amid the fallout from an alleged incident on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, where she was accused of inappropriate behavior by fellow cast member Caroline Manzo. Brandi was subsequently removed from the network, further fueling her accusations that Bravo’s treatment of her has contributed to her ongoing stress and health issues.
