Brandi Glanville, once one of Bravo’s biggest celebrities, has revealed a dramatic change in her looks amid ongoing health issues and insinuated the reality TV empire is to blame.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star took to social media over the weeked to share a selfie of her seemingly deformed face, with the caption: “Sick it!”
She explained in another post: “What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in & out of the hospital this passed year 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.”

Earlier this year, Glanville —who says she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema in 2023 — accused “Real Housewives” executive producer Andy Cohen of sending her a video in which he boasted of his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via Facetime.
In a letter sent to Bravo’s parent company, NBCUniversal, as well as Warner Bros. Discovery and Shed Media, she referred to the incident as an “abuse of power” due to Cohen at the time being Glanville’s boss and exercising “complete and total control over her career.”
Cohen, who’s openly gay, swiftly responded — noting that the video was “clearly” a joke between him, Glanville and “Below Deck” star Kate Chastain. The “Watch What Happens Live” host admitted the clip “was totally inappropriate” and publicly apologized.

Glanville herself was accused of sexual harassment by “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Caroline Manzo in a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court in January. The 62-year-old entrepreneur accused her costar of assaulting her during production of “Ultimate Girls Trip,” which was filmed in Marrakesh, Morocco, in January 2023.
A few hours after her selfie post shocked her social media followers, the 52-year-old mother of two posted an archival clip of her and other co-stars horsing around in a scene from an earlier incarnation of “Ultimate Girls Trip” — alluding to Manzo’s legal case.
“This is 100 times worse than anything that happened in Morocco and my life has been ruined for no reason,” she tweeted. “I’ve spent all of my money on Dr.! My health is ruined. My looks are ruined AND I was rehired because of this behavior for The Morocco girls trip 👎”
