Brandi Glanville of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame has been dealing with an illness over the past year. Having been dealing with stress-induced angioedema, the star recently revealed what she believes caused her current condition. The star has also spoken with fans over her condition.
Brandi Glanville First Suffered Symptoms In October 2023
Glanville worked as a model when she was 18 years old. In 2011, she appeared on the second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Effectively a part-time cast member, she initially appeared as a “friend” to the show’s housewives. However, Glanville ended up joining the show as an official cast member by the third season.
As noted by The Express U.S., Glanville endured symptoms back in October 2023. At the time, she was rushed to the hospital after her enduring facial swelling, which caused her eyes to shut. Talking with Entertainment Tonight‘s Brice Sander, she suspected she had contracted a Moroccan parasite.
As Glanville noted, “I’ve been on meds this whole year. I don’t socialize. I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me, over $70,000.”
“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000. I ran every test under the sun…. They’re like, it could be a parasite that’s, you know, new.”
The Star Once Joked ‘Bravo’ Was To Blame For Her Condition
The star then talked more about her Moroccan trip, speculating on how she could have been infected. As she noted, “I mean, we had food sitting out for hours on end and some of it was meat. In Morocco. Six months after I got back from [filming in] Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing, it started in July and we’re still here trying to figure it out.”

Since then, Glanville has also been sharing photos of herself amid her health concerns. When a fan on social media asked what was going on, the star replied, “I wish I knew.”
As noted by The Mirror, Glanville noted, “I’ve been in and out of the hospital this past 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.”
Fans were also quick to support the star, with many offering her their prayers. For example, one user asked, “Is that filler migration?” Another fan responded, “No, it’s an immune response because she’s in poor health.”
