Brandi Glanville is silencing rumors about the health issues she’s been facing this year.
After posting a video via Instagram earlier this week declaring she’s back on Cameo, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, shared a selfie via X Saturday, December 7, clarifying that her health struggles were still ongoing.
“Guys this is an old cameo! I used it to promote that I’m back on after a year-plus hiatus. Let me share what I look like & why I had to take a pause… check next post & f—ing suck it haters,” Glanville claimed.
In her follow-up post, she wrote, “Sick it!” alongside a selfie that seemingly showed a skin issue. After sharing the photo, she added, “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.”
While some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been a part of the Bravo hit since season 1 — looking at you, Kyle Richards — others have proved that diamonds aren’t forever. The sixth installment in the Real Housewives franchise was announced in March 2010 and aired its first season seven months later. At the […]
Glanville announced on Thursday, December 5, that she was back on Cameo after taking a break to focus on her health. Earlier this year, she revealed that she had to take a break from work to deal with “stress-induced” angioedema, which causes swelling in the deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes, lips, or cheeks, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In July, Glanville threatened to sue Bravo for allegedly causing stress-induced symptoms, sharing that she hasn’t been able to record new episodes of her podcast, “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered,” because of her being unwell. While it is unclear what “stress” Glanville was referring to, her post also claimed she was “being used as a fallguy.” Glanville also said she has “receipts 4days” regarding the unspecified matter.
“I’ve been left no choice but to sue Bravo,” she wrote via X in July. “This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress induced angio-edema I haven’t worked for a year … to [sic] depressed to do my podcast.”
Glanville was also unable to remain on Cameo, claiming that she was “to [sic] swollen 4cameo or OF [Only Fans].”
The former Real Housewife joined Cameo in 2019, which coincided with the beginning of her second stint on RHOBH, and joined OnlyFans in July 2023. She revealed on her podcast in February that OnlyFans “saved” her “life” after she failed to earn an income for six months. (Glanville appeared as a main Housewife on RHOBH seasons 3 through 5 before returning in season 9.)

Glanville has also faced a tumultuous period of late after she was accused of sexually harassing Caroline Manzo during the January 2023 filming of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 4 in Morocco.
Although Glanville was not listed as a defendant in Manzo’s lawsuit, Glanville’s legal team responded in a statement at the time, telling Us, “Sadly, Brandi had to wake up to yet another lawsuit that includes defamatory, false accusations about her. While filming, Brandi followed what the producers asked of her, and there was no sexual assault. She is innocent of these absurd accusations that have weighed on her mental and physical health for far too long without a word of support from Peacock, Shed or Bravo.”
