Brandi Glanville, the former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been open about her struggles with health issues and legal battles. Recently, an unfiltered selfie she posted on social media sparked concern among her followers, leaving many wondering what had happened to her.
The selfie, which showed Brandi’s face looking swollen and uneven, was a far cry from the glamorous image she had once portrayed on reality TV. In the post, Brandi explained that she had been in and out of the hospital for the past year and a half, trying to figure out what was causing her health issues.

According to Brandi, some doctors believe she may have a parasite that affects her face, while others think it could be stress-induced edema. Brandi herself joked that it might be the result of her tumultuous relationship with Bravo, the network that airs The Real Housewives.
Brandi’s health struggles began in 2023, when she experienced symptoms such as swelling, difficulty speaking, and loss of taste. After visiting multiple doctors, she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema.
However, Brandi’s health issues are not the only challenges she’s facing. She’s also been embroiled in a highly publicized legal battle with Caroline Manzo, a star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Manzo accused Brandi of sexual assault during the filming of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco.
The allegations led to a lawsuit and an investigation by Peacock, the streaming service that airs the show. Brandi has denied the allegations, claiming that nothing out of the ordinary happened during the trip.
In addition to her legal battles, Brandi has also been open about her struggles with Bravo and its executive producer, Andy Cohen. She’s accused Cohen of sexual harassment and claimed that the network has ruined her life.
As Brandi continues to navigate her health struggles and legal battles, her followers are sending her support and encouragement. Despite the challenges she’s facing, Brandi remains determined to fight for herself and get the help she needs.
