Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville recently shocked fans by sharing a raw, unfiltered selfie of her face, revealing significant swelling and discoloration. The candid post on December 7 sparked an outpouring of concern from her followers, with many expressing worry about her wellbeing.
In the photo posted to X (formerly Twitter), Brandi showcased her swollen and uneven face, a stark depiction of the health struggles she’s been facing for the past year and a half. Accompanying the image, she wrote, “What happened? I wish I knew. I’ve spent nearly every dime I have trying to figure it out and have been in and out of the hospital.”
Brandi explained that while some doctors suspect a parasite might be the cause of her facial swelling, others believe it could be stress-induced edema. She lightheartedly added, “I personally say it’s Bravo,” referencing the network behind her reality TV fame.
The star first opened up about her health issues earlier in 2023 during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She revealed that her symptoms included severe facial swelling, difficulty speaking, and a loss of taste. After consultations with multiple medical professionals, she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema, a condition that causes sudden swelling and resembles anaphylactic shock.
Brandi’s ongoing health problems, compounded by legal battles and personal stress, have taken a toll on her mental and physical state. “This is the cause of my misery and depression,” she shared. “I won’t even show you the photo of it sinking in. You would die from stress.”
Her openness has left fans both concerned and confused about the root cause of her health challenges. Many of her followers attribute her struggles to the immense stress she’s endured, particularly related to her ongoing legal disputes and her turbulent relationship with Bravo.
Despite the challenges, Brandi’s transparency has inspired support and well-wishes from fans eager to see her recover and regain her health.
