Brandi Glanville has recently opened up about an unexpected and distressing challenge in her life—a facial parasite that has not only impacted her health but also her finances. As a former star of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” her journey has taken a tumultuous turn, echoing the chaos often highlighted in astrological spheres where retrogrades wreak havoc. Have you ever questioned how much a single health crisis could shake one’s world? Glanville’s struggles began after her breast implants ruptured, leading to a cascade of health issues that everyone hopes to avoid. From dealing with a fungal ball on her face to the financial burden that accompanies her ongoing treatment, she’s found herself confronting both physical pain and emotional hardship. As she shares her vulnerabilities on her podcast, she’s also taken the brave step of launching a GoFundMe to help cover skyrocketing medical bills. Isn’t it a strange cosmic twist that asking for help—a notion so often stigmatized—has become a necessary part of her recovery? The situation not only raises eyebrows about the medical system’s reliability but also elicits our deepest empathy for anyone navigating such turbulent waters. LEARN MORE.

Brandi Glanville has shared more details about the facial parasite that’s continuing to plague her life and her finances, with the internet personality forced into a GoFundMe.

The former Real Housewives of Beverley Hills star has been open about her health struggles in recent years, which included ‘sexually transmitted ringworm‘ as well as her facial disfigurement.

It all started for the 53-year-old when her breast implants ruptured, which she claimed had caused her lymph nodes to become ‘clogged’.

Glanville has since had the implants removed but maintains that they were the cause of the facial parasite, which she also revealed had spread down her right arm and caused a ‘fungal ball’ on her face.

It’s been a long and arduous journey for Glanville and as she has begun treatment, it’s been tough for her to admit that she might now need financial help in order to continue that treatment.

During Friday’s episode of her “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast, she said: “I’m embarrassed, honestly, because I don’t like to ask for help.”

“I never thought I would do this,” she added, noting that her close friend Gina Rodriguez, who set up the GoFundMe told her, “You have no choice.”

Co-host James Maas replied: “It’s not embarrassing. What’s embarrassing is the whole medical system … You need a GoFundMe.”

Glanville joins a long list of Americans who are seeking financial aid in the face of serious medical bills, and she’s clearly extremely frustrated with the whole situation, as she threatened to cut the fungal ball out of her own face if she can’t find a doctor who will.

The GoFundMe, which has already raised over $15,000, states: “For the past three years, RHOBH Alum, Brandi Glanville has been fighting an illness that has completely changed her life. She has gone from doctor to doctor searching for answers while her health continued to decline. Now, after years of uncertainty, she finally has diagnoses and a treatment plan, but the road ahead is long, painful and incredibly expensive.

“Brandi has been diagnosed with highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis.

“Doctors have also identified a fungal ball in her face that needs to be removed. Her treatment plan requires months of daily IV medication through a PICC line, and she is expected to remain on treatment for at least 4–6 months, possibly longer depending on how her body responds.

“And the IV treatment is only part of what lies ahead. Brandi has multiple procedures and surgeries ahead of her. She needs the fungal ball removed from her face, old metal dental work removed and her breast implants removed as part of the treatment plan recommended by her doctors.

“Unfortunately, treatment has not been easy. Despite enduring 12 hours of IV medication daily and everything that comes along with it, she has experienced very little improvement so far. She is exhausted, in pain and trying to mentally prepare herself for months more of treatment and surgeries.

“The financial toll has become overwhelming.

“Even with insurance, Brandi’s treatment alone is costing approximately $3,300–$6,000 every month. That does not include all of the additional expenses associated with her upcoming surgeries, procedures, medications, doctors, dental work and everyday living expenses while she is unable to work normally.

“Right now, the only work Brandi is able to continue doing consistently is her podcast. The illness and daily treatment have made it extremely difficult for her to work and earn the income she normally would, at the exact time her medical expenses have become enormous.”

Although it suggests that ‘asking for help is not easy for her’, the toll has become too much for Glanville both physically, financially and mentally, and she clearly just wants to ‘get her life back’.
