Glanville brandy on mental health, financial matters in the middle of facial battles

Brandi Glanville without feeling “normal” in two years.

“I’ve never felt suicidal before, (but earlier this summer), I didn’t want to be here,” says Glanville, 52, Weekly US In a unique new interview. “And if it wasn’t for my children, I don’t know I would be here.” (Glanville shares the sons of Mason and Jake with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.)

Years after her initial departure from Beverly Hills Real House WivesGlanville was back at the top of his reality TV game when he signed for the fourth season planned from Ultimate Women’s Tour The Real HouseWives in Morocco in early 2023. She had just won over audiences again on Ultimate Women’s Tour The Real HouseWives: Pre-World Club and season 1 o The traitorbut things took their turn when she was charged with sexual misconduct by Concern costume Caroline Manzo. (In court documents relating to the incident, an executive producer noted that Manzo felt “disrespectful” by Glanville but claimed that Glanville was not “sexually cutting” Manzo.)

When she returned home from Morocco, Glanville slipped into depression for the argument and subsequently discovered that she had Has contracted a parasite while filming.

“Almost immediately after landing, my phone began to blow up for these articles that were wrong and were not true of what happened in Morocco with Caroline, and I took a ton of anxiety immediately,” he told Us. “And I was just trying to get my head around what was happening and why it happened. I was on the couch in a fetal site for four months.”

When Glanville tried to socialize again, she began to notice “crazy lumps” in her face.

“My face started, like, moving around and doing things. I began to lose my sight in my left eye. It’s mad,” he said. “At first, my face was blowing up and getting very swollen. Then he started sinking in, and I felt something I was eating from the inside. I’m like, ‘He eats my flesh.’

The most extreme symptoms of Glanville over the past two years also include gray spots on her “sunken” face, a liquid that comes out of her left ear or drained to her mouth and extreme headache.

Glanville has seen 21 doctors, paying for several out of their pocket when he could not get answers from providers within his insurance. “They didn’t believe me,” he said. “My insurance was like, ‘There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s just an irritation and an old filler.’”

Glanville has spent at least $ 130,000 on medical bills and is struggling financially.

“I pay the minimum on my credit cards. I have depleted my savings. At my age, I feel like such a loser in a way, because I was caring for everything,” he said. “I was together. I had a great credit. Now I’m afraid of every little thing.”

Acknowledging that “Medical Bills is the case number 1,” Glanville has begun to work with Rachel StraussHealthcare Strategist, known as Princess PBM.

“Where she falls on her responsibility is to work with the hospitals she saw to review what was milked and make sure it is manged properly. There are some things that were truly emergencies that doctors will validate, and (we can get them) those who decrease however we can,” Strauss told Strauss Us. “Once we have discussed the service fees, we will work on a payment scheme so that brandy can live and get a roof over it and be able to get food and everything you need to maintain.”

Despite the financial stress caused by all the appointments, Strauss states that it is important that Glanville advocated for herself when she believed that the doctors within her insurance plan were not listening to it.

“Now she has a definitive diagnosis, she can go back, and that’s where she can start advocating financially,” he said. “There was something wrong, and that’s where we have to go back and make sure insurance understands that, because that’s why she went out of a network.”

Glanville has also initiated new treatments with Michael R. ScomaAn infectious disease specialist who reached it through X. a day before her visit to Us.

“We can expect to see meaningful progress within the next few weeks,” said Dr. Scoma while Us. “And I think brandy can completely improve.”

Calling herself a “hopeful wreck,” Glanville says she wants her life back.

“I was sleeping until 5 pm, I couldn’t get out of bed. Everything was craving – at one time, I couldn’t move my neck. I couldn’t get out of bed for four hours. And I’m just like, ‘This is not an existence,’” he told us. “I stay in this house every day. I pay crazy sums of rent. I care about money all day. I have a brain fog. I get one thing done a day, and I’m just scary.”

Last week, when she struck low, her mother called for support.

“I go, ‘Mum, I know you have a grandmother. I know you have a dad. I know your plate is full, but you need to come,’” Glanville remembers. “And so she, like, dropped everything and came for a couple of days. I colored her hair, and we had a girl time.”

That pamper also included the viral clip of Glanville now put nair on her face.

“I was just going down every rabbit hole, and my face loved to deport. It was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to get whatever is out.’ So I would deport, as, five times a day, and I wouldn’t even put a moisturizer on and it was back to oily – and I never had oily skin, ”he told Us. “If nair melts, maybe it will melt whatever is in my skin. And my mother is like, ‘You make your brandy.’ Like, when I was a little, I used a comed on my teeth because I wanted white teeth.

Following treatments by Dr. Scoma, however, Glanville hopes to be back to “dance on tables and (drink) ore.”

“No, I just want to leave my house,” he said again. “I’m at Groundhog Day.”
