Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Brandi Glanville has been open about her health struggles over the last few years. Most notably, she has experienced noticeable changes in her face and has attributed them to a parasite. Now, the troubled “RHOBH” alum is revealing that she has a benign tumor.

Brandi Glanville Gets Candid About Her Health

Glanville appeared on a June 2026 episode of her “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast to give her latest health update alongside her co-host, James Mass. She said, “I have a benign tumor in one of my lymph nodes in my face. That could be why the fluid is going around my face.”

After that, she discussed how the ongoing issue with her face impacts day-to-day life, revealing, “I can wear makeup for like 15 minutes, and then I have to take it off.” Regarding the lump on her face, Glanville stated that she sought out the help of a dermatologist with a specialization in cancer.

According to her, “It came back on the blood test.” In reflecting on her journey before visiting the dermatologist, the “RHOBH” alum explained, “Every doctor that I’ve shown, they’re like, ‘It’s just scar tissue.’ I’m like, ‘From what? I haven’t had a facelift yet.'”

The ‘RHOBH’ Alum Just Wants To Wear Makeup Again

Naturally, Glanville’s current condition impacts her life in several ways. However, during the podcast episode, she doubled down on how the ongoing issues affect the way she wears makeup while also reflecting on how long she’s been battling the illness.

She said, “It’s been a long three years. I just want to put a ton of makeup on again, get my hair extensions. I want to have a glow-up.”

This isn’t Glanville’s first health update in June 2026. Before this, on the June 4 episode of the “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast, she responded to fans who had concerns about her appearance in recent clips after previously believing she was healed.

According to her, “I have to give an update on my face because we got a lot of comments last time. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, guys. I thought I was fixed, and then it happened again. Now it’s sinking in again.”

The mom of two continued, “If I had answers, I would tell you.” Glanville then said, “I’ve been to a million doctors. The only thing that really seems to help is being out in the sun, the parasite medication, and the parasite diet.”

Fans Are Rallying Around Brandi Glanville

Despite being known as a villain on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” fans want the best for Glanville. This is especially the case as she’s been open about how her health struggles have not only racked up massive medical bills, but she’s also had trouble finding substantial work, due in part to Caroline Manzo‘s ongoing lawsuit, involving her, with Bravo and NBCUniversal.

One person said, “I hope Brandi is good. She was my favorite on the early ‘RHOBH’ seasons.” After that, someone else said, “Brandi has been dealing with this for such a long time. I hope she finds the answers she needs.”

However, amid fan support, others questioned whether Glanville was still using Botox based on her most recent appearances. Someone said, “She should not be getting Botox injections at this point in time.”

A different social media user wrote, “I can’t believe such a thing would happen to someone who also injects their face with Botox.”

The Former Bravo Star Previously Discussed How Much She’s Spent On Treatments

Glanville has been dealing with what she thinks is a facial parasite since 2023. Notably, her issues arose after returning from filming the ill-fated “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco” season, which led to the previously mentioned lawsuit by Manzo.

In 2025, she opened up to Us Weekly about how much she’s spent in her search for answers to her medical condition. The “RHOBH” alum stated, “I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point.” She continued, “I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming.”

Regarding how much she’d spent at that point, Glanville said it was “over $113,000.”

Brandi Detailed Her Medical Progress

During the Us Weekly interview, Glanville went into detail about the steps she had taken in her medical journey. She shared, “So, I went to the best infectious disease doctor, I went to the best allergist.”

She then said, “I had to because when you’ve seen every doctor at Kaiser, and they’re telling you, ‘Maybe see a dentist.’ And you’re like, ‘I’m at the dentist constantly, [but] there’s a lump in my neck and my throat under my cheekbone that goes to the other side of my face.'”
