Brandi Glanville Christens Facial Parasite After Bravo Nemesis

Brandi Glanville just gave her face parasite a reputation and, in true “Real Housewives” fashion, it’s petty!

The truth star revealed she dubbed the unwelcome intruder “Caroline,” a not-so-subtle jab at her longtime rival Caroline Manzo.

Brandi Glanville’s return to the highlight follows a rough chapter in her profession, one which began when rumors swirled that she crossed the road with Manzo during filming, resulting in the early exit that sent her right into a troubled spiral.

Glanville is taking beauty DIY to an entire recent and dangerous level. She shocked fans after sharing a graphic TikTok update on her ongoing battle with a facial parasite, which she nicknamed “Caroline” after longtime enemy Caroline Manzo.

Within the video, Glanville revealed she used Nair, a hair-removal cream, as a method to exfoliate her skin and annoy the parasite she claims resides in her face. With a deadpan expression, she noted, “When I even have an exfoliated face, it pisses Caroline off, whoever’s living in my face.”

The unconventional method backfired, leaving her with visible burns and damaged skin. “She’s moved from here to up there,” Glanville explained, referencing “Caroline,” while zooming in on her cheekbone and brow. 

In her caption, she shared a DIY treatment to ease the pain: “Mix up some aloe Vera, cucumber, and black tea. Put it within the freezer. Put it within the spray bottle and once it’s cold enough, spray all day.”

Based on her recent TikTok video, Glanville is just not done unpacking the emotional fallout from her time on “The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.” It’s value noting that in April, she made it clear that the off-camera damage runs deeper than viewers might think.

In a revealing interview, Glanville opened up about hitting all-time low after being sent home from Morocco while filming the now-shelved fourth season of the Bravo spinoff.

The Blast noted that Glanville said her world crumbled when reports surfaced claiming she behaved inappropriately toward fellow castmate Caroline Manzo, an accusation she flat-out denies.

“It’s ruined my life. Those [first] six months, I used to be in a fetal position on my couch, like, contemplating suicide [and I was] being called horrible things,” she said bluntly. 

She also revealed that the backlash cost her greater than just her Bravo gig. “All my jobs were canceled,” Glanville said, adding that the narrative round her exit moved so fast she didn’t even get a probability to defend herself before doors began slamming shut.

To make matters worse, as she lost her financial footing, she began to cope with a lingering illness that has not let up. Glanville revealed that she remains to be battling a mystery illness that has cost her greater than just peace of mind.

The Blast highlighted Glanville’s emotional confession that she is now financially worn out, having spent greater than $113,000 out-of-pocket on treatment after hitting a wall along with her insurance plan.

“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point. I do not have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every single day, happening a special rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming,” she shared.

The mysterious parasite has not only drained her checking account; it has also stolen the parts of life she enjoys most. Mourning the version of herself she once knew, Glanville noted that her current life was as isolated as throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 52-year-old admitted bluntly, “I miss socializing with my girlfriends after which having sex with men. I’m a Scorpio. I really like sex. So, I used to be having a variety of it, and now I have not had any of it, and I’m like, ‘Have I forgotten how one can kiss?'”

Known for her outspoken and unfiltered takes, she didn’t stop there. Glanville confessed that the continued health battle has chipped away at her once-solid sense of self.

“I’ve lost myself,” she said. “I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. I do not get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, do not get me flawed, but I feel like I lost Brandi.”

After years of confusion and pain, Glanville may finally have some answers, and she or he is just not alone in her misery. Last month, The Blast reported that fellow Bravo star Vicki Gunvalson believes she contracted the identical parasite that has been wreaking havoc on Glanville’s life. 

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum said the symptoms began after the pair’s 2023 trip to Morocco for “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.”

Gunvalson didn’t mince words. She described the environment as lower than sanitary and shared that Glanville’s condition is severe, with the parasite moving to different parts of her body and causing intense discomfort. And it has not been easy for Gunvalson either.

Medical tests confirmed parasites had overrun her gut, and while each women are still not out of the woods, the likely source of their health nightmare has finally been pinpointed.

Clearly, the Housewives drama is just not a thing of the past for Brandi Glanville.
