‘CAN’T WAIT TO LIVE’

Reality Star Reports Breakthrough on Mystery Facial Paralysis

The reality TV alum has spent two years battling a strange illness that left her disfigured.

Brandi Glanville has hit a long-awaited milestone in her struggle with facial disfigurement. Since 2023, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, has been navigating a sudden, unexplained condition that left her face swollen and paralyzed. Now, Glanville says she’s “finally getting answers” after visiting an infectious disease immunologist. “I cannot wait to get out of this house & LIVE,” wrote Glanville in a Wednesday X post. The mom-of-two, who frequently updates fans on her health via social media, told US Weekly in April that she’d spent over $100,000 seeking treatment. Glanville previously said her doctors believed the condition, which caused two of her teeth to fall out, was either a “stress-induced angioedema” or the result of a “parasite that jumps around.” Glanville even sought advice from a fellow reality star, plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow of Botched. Dubrow, 66, later said he believes Glanville may have an infection from a bad cosmetic injection. Though Glanville’s tweet did not elaborate on the status of her condition, she thanked her new doctor for “actually wanting to help me get better.” Glanville added that she can’t wait to “fix [her] teeth, put on 10 lbs, & make out with a hot boy or girl.”
