What happened to Brandi Glanville’s face?
Brandi Glanville, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, has been facing a series of health and legal challenges that have left fans concerned and curious about her well-being.

In recent years, she has battled various health issues, but it wasn’t until she posted an unfiltered selfie showing her swollen, patchy face that fans realized just how serious things had become.

The selfie that sparked concern
On December 7, Brandi shared a raw, unfiltered selfie on X (formerly Twitter), giving her followers a glimpse of her face looking swollen and uneven. Her fans quickly flooded the post with comments expressing concern and sending well-wishes. Many were left wondering what had happened to the reality star’s appearance.

In her post, Brandi explained the situation, writing:
“What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in & out of the hospital this past year 1/2, spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out,” she shared.

She went on to explain that some doctors have suggested she has a parasite that affects her face, while others believe it’s stress-induced edema. Brandi herself joked, “I personally say it’s Bravo.”

Long history of health struggles
Brandi’s health problems began in 2023. As she shared with Entertainment Tonight earlier this year, she experienced significant issues affecting her ability to talk, taste food, and even her face, which would swell up dramatically.

She described the symptoms as being similar to anaphylactic shock, and after visiting multiple doctors, she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema.
