Brandi Glanville says her facial disfigurement has returned despite trying numerous treatments and consulting multiple doctors

She still believes her health issues are linked to a parasite, as well as past dental work and black mold poisoning

Glanville has spent over $70,000 seeking answers and is now collaborating with others experiencing similar symptoms

Brandi Glanville revealed that the parasite that was causing her facial disfigurement has returned.

During the Thursday, June 4 episode of her Unfilteredpodcast, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsalum, 53, shared that she's still struggling with her health after fans started to question her appearance.

"I have to give an update on my face because I got a lot of comments," she began. "I don't know what's wrong with me, guys. I thought I was fixed and then it happened again. And now it's sinking in again. If I had answers, I would tell you. I've been to a million doctors."

Glanville said the only things that have helped her are being out in the sun, and implementing a parasite medication and "parasite diet." However, she didn't provide much information on the remedies.

"I don't have answers," she continued. "Is there a doctor that specializes in parasites? Because I can't find one. I've been to a thousand dermatologists. So anyway, we don't know what's going on but I'm here to get to the bottom of it."

Glanville said she recently connected with two women who messaged her after hearing about her health woes on the podcast. She said they all have the same symptoms and are hoping to work together to figure out a solution.

"All three of us had a lot of dental work, we all had black mold poisoning in the past. So we are texting each other," she said.

Glanville's health struggles began in July 2023. At first she believed they were caused by something she ate while filming the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. She later claimed that she could see and feel an unknown "parasite" moving within her face, saying it resembled "tiny bubbles bursting" on her skin.

In December 2024, Glanville revealed that she spent "over $70,000" trying to find a resolution to the unknown "parasite," but every treatment was only a temporary fix.

Additionally, the reality star was dealing with a slew of other health problems. In February 2026, she revealed that it took 21 doctors and $200,000 to pinpoint the root of her issues: a ruptured 18-year-old silicone breast implant.

"I was shocked, because they're implants that I've had for almost 20 years, they looked fine, they felt fine, the mammogram said they were fine, it wasn't until I had a sonogram," she said at the time. "I thought, if it's not broke don't fix it, but I learnt a really, really hard lesson."

However, Glanville still maintains that her severe facial disfigurement was caused by a parasite.
