Brandi Glanville Faces Financial Strain Amidst Ongoing Health Ordeal
Reality television personality Brandi Glanville has reportedly spent significant sums seeking a diagnosis and effective treatment for a perplexing health condition. The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star disclosed that the extensive search for answers has placed a considerable financial burden on her.
Mounting Medical Expenses
“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this juncture,” Glanville, 52, revealed in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly on Tuesday, April 15, while promoting her new single, “Remedy.” She further explained, “I lack the financial resources to pursue further options currently. My days are consumed by online research, investigating various possibilities. It is exhausting and completely overwhelming.”
Years-Long Search for Diagnosis
For nearly two years, Glanville has been grappling with an unidentified medical issue resulting in facial disfigurement. In her discussion with Us Weekly, the Bravo alum stated that she has expended “over $113,000” in her pursuit of treatment outside of her existing health insurance coverage with Kaiser. She has exhausted all treatment avenues covered by her plan without success.
Plea for Medical Assistance
“I simply want to find a physician who is dedicated to helping me,” Glanville expressed, emphasizing her continued lack of a definitive diagnosis or effective treatment plan. “And not only myself, but also the numerous other women, and men, who have endured similar experiences for an extended period. I’ve been contacted by several men who resonate with my situation. I empathize with their plight; I understand precisely what they describe, the sensation of pressure in their head, the feeling of impending explosion… I am at the end of my rope.”
Exhausted Treatment Options
Glanville has explored a wide range of therapies and consulted with numerous medical professionals in an attempt to secure a firm diagnosis and a viable treatment strategy.

“Consequently, I consulted with leading specialists in infectious diseases and allergies,” she detailed. “This became necessary after exhausting all options within Kaiser, where doctors suggested consulting a dentist. Despite regular dental visits, I have a persistent lump extending from my neck and throat to under my cheekbone, reaching across my face.”
Unrevealing Medical Tests
Glanville has undergone comprehensive medical imaging, including CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds, none of which have identified “whatever is residing in her face.”
Condition Progression and Impact on Daily Life
“It’s progressing down my body; it’s now visibly in my neck, extending to my left shoulder and down my arm,” she described. “I am compelled to get up, stretch, and immerse myself in a hot tub. I adhere to a strict routine, and it is debilitating.”
Social Isolation and Emotional Toll
Prioritizing her health battle, Glanville has withdrawn from public engagements and social activities.
“[My lowest point] is the inability to fully participate in life and missing out on experiences,” Glanville confessed. “I essentially lead a solitary existence, akin to reliving the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, but accompanied by agonizing side effects.”
“Feels Like a Prison”
Glanville characterized her isolation as feeling like being confined to a “prison.”
Yearning for normalcy
“I long for socializing with my girlfriends and engaging in romantic relationships,” she remarked humorously. “Being a Scorpio, intimacy is significant to me. I was quite active in that aspect of my life, and now, with an extended period of abstinence, I jokingly question if I’ve forgotten how to kiss. Essentially, I’ve lost my sense of self. I feel more insecure than ever before. Typically, I possess a strong sense of self-assurance and rarely experience nervousness or anxiety. While certain situations naturally induce anxiety, I feel like I’ve lost the essence of Brandi.”
Exploring Alternative Treatments
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality recently initiated Cellsound treatment, described as a cutting-edge facial and body-contouring therapy designed to rejuvenate skin, stimulate collagen production, and eliminate excess fat cells.
“It’s an ultrasound-based therapy,” she clarified. “It disrupts the underlying issue and provides me with temporary relief from the pressure. It has proven quite beneficial.”
Stem Cell Therapy and Antibiotics
Glanville further mentioned that she is currently taking antibiotics and undergoing stem cell therapy under the care of Dr. Joy Kong.
Initial Positive Effects
“Immediately following Dr. Kong’s treatment, I experienced increased energy levels and an overall sense of improvement,” she noted. “While it hasn’t yet visibly altered my appearance, and it’s still early, having only undergone one session. Given the pervasive aches throughout my body, it’s all quite perplexing.”
Music as a Source of Upliftment
As Glanville persists in her quest for answers regarding her health, her involvement in her music debut, “Remedy,” has been a source of encouragement.
“I had an incredible time,” she enthusiastically shared. “It was a revelation, like, ‘Finally, I feel alive again. This is the vibrancy I’ve been missing.’ My life has felt like a repetitive cycle. Engaging in this project was incredibly enjoyable, and the Australian team was fantastic. The set was filled with non-stop joking and laughter throughout the day. It was truly the best filming experience.”
