Brandi Glanville‘s persistent illness has done more than ruin her facial features, with her finances in the red.
The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star recently got vulnerable about her financial woes, noting her mystery illness was the root of all her problems. She went public with the health issue in 2023, revealing it had caused significant changes to her face.
Brandi Glanville previously blamed her face disfigurement on Bravo, claiming her issues with the network had taken a toll on her health. However, in the past year, she has visited several doctors for a cure, but no luck so far.

During a recent interview, Glanville did not hold back while lamenting the state of her finances amid her mystery health problems. She confessed to having little to her name, claiming she had spent a significant sum on medical bills alone.
“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point. I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming,” Glanville lamented.
She noted she had spent “over $113,000” in her efforts to find a treatment outside of her health insurance plan. Glanville was forced to take this more expensive route after exhausting all the options covered by Kaiser insurance, per US Magazine.

Glanville expressed displeasure over her persistent health issues, revealing she wanted a medical professional who could commit to her case in the long run. “I just wanna find a doctor who makes it, like, his mission to help me. And not just me,” she shared, adding:
“[But] these other poor women who have been going through this for so long, and men, too. I’ve had a couple men reach out. I feel for them, like, I know exactly what they’re talking about.”
“The pressure in their head, how they feel it’s gonna explode. … I’m at my wits’ end,” Glanville confessed. She stressed that she had visited numerous doctors and tried different treatment plans. However, she has not found a concrete diagnosis or a substantive treatment plan.

Glanville emphasized the importance of finding a cure to her mystery illness, noting the bizarre symptoms she experienced seemed to worsen with time.
“There’s a lump in my neck and my throat under my cheekbone that goes to the other side of my face,” she explained, claiming numerous tests could not pinpoint “whatever’s living in [her] face.”
“It’s moving down my body, like, literally in my neck now moving on my left shoulder [and] down my arm. I have to get up, I have to stretch, I have to get in a hot tub. I have a routine and it sucks,” Glanville lamented. Despite her pain, she enjoyed a little relief thanks to a new Cellsound treatment.

She described the treatment as “ultrasound therapy,” noting it worked well in pissing off whatever was living in her body. “It gives me reprieve from the pressure, and it’s been very helpful,” Glanville raved about the procedure. She also got similar results from stem cell treatments with Dr. Joy Kong.

The worst part of the mystery illness for Glanville wasn’t losing her finances but “missing out on life.” She compared her current isolation to the COVID-19 pandemic, noting it felt like she was on lockdown all over again but with “miserable side effects.”
“I miss socializing with my girlfriends and then having sex with men. I’m a Scorpio. I love sex. So, I was having a lot of it, and now I haven’t had any of it, and I’m like, ‘Have I forgotten how to kiss?'” Glanville lamented, adding:
“But, like, I’ve lost myself. I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. Normally, I feel fairly secure, and I don’t get nervous. I don’t get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I lost Brandi.”
Glanville’s financial woes first made headlines in March, with The Blast covering her desperate attempt to earn more money. She revealed she had been surviving off her savings for about two years and moved to sell some of her famous outfits from her time on Bravo.
The former reality TV star assured fans the profits would go into her medical expenses, uploading various stunning designs from her collection on eBay. At the time of the report, Glanville’s clothes had garnered bids between $500 and $1,000.
Glanville’s efforts to gain money followed her frustrations with doctors for being unable to cure her mystery illness. She complained about severe symptoms, including painful lumps in her jaw and neck, persistent chills, and a foul-tasting drainage from her face that damaged her teeth.
