Former Real Housewives star Brandi Glanville has revealed she’s been in and out of the hospital after shocking fans with a swollen-face selfie
Brandi Glanville has sparked concern amongst fans after looking unrecognisable with a swollen face amid a health condition.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, took to social media to post a concerning photo of herself amid her ongoing health battle. “What happened?” she wrote on X on Sunday.
“I wish I knew I’ve been in and out of the hospital this passed year and 1/2 … spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”
Glanville sparked fan concern as she posted the shocking photo of her changing face. She didn’t detail her condition but simply captioned the snap, “Sick it.” Her fans quickly flocked to share their support, as other made suggestions as to what the condition could be.
“Is that filler migration?” one fan questioned, to which another responded, “No, it’s an immune response because she’s in poor health.” Another wrote: “Awwww brandi … im sooooo sorry … you’ve had nothing but hardships … sending all prayers for you …you’ll come back girl and smash it just watch.”
Someone else added: “Brandi, this just breaks my heart for you. I’ll definitely be keeping you in my prayers.. Love ya.” The reality star previously blamed Bravo for her swollen face. Back in July, Brandi said she was “miserable and depressed” due to their ongoing legal drama.

Brandi claimed her former employer – US TV network Bravo – was to blame for her facial disfigurement. During the summer, she took to X to announce that stress was causing havoc on her appearance. “This is why I’m miserable and depressed ” she wrote, sharing a selfie of herself that showed her left cheek severely swollen and bruised.
“I’m not even gonna share the picture of when it sinks in. Stress will kill you. How is your wealth? Take care of yourself people thank you Bravo. I couldn’t even work if I wanted to at this point.”
She first began experiencing these symptoms around October 2023, when she had to be rushed to the hospital after her face blew up, eyes swelled shut and she collapsed.
A source told Entertainment Tonight at the time: “Brandi’s been under so much stress since The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip drama started with Caroline Manzo. She hasn’t been able to work since the false claims were brought against her and now it’s taking a toll on her physically.”
