As a seasoned observer of human behavior and a connoisseur of reality television drama, I find myself deeply saddened by the plight of Brandi Glanville. Her life, once brimming with glamour and camaraderie on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has taken a dramatic turn for the worse.

According to sources, Brandi Glanville is using her current health struggles to increase her earnings on Cameo, as she strives for the attention and recognition she desires following her departure from Bravo.

52-year-old ex-star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills left followers stunned this week by sharing a picture of herself with an unusually swollen face, explaining that medical professionals suspect she might be hosting a parasite that moves about on her skin.

Previously suffering from “stress-related swelling,” Brandi, finds herself yearning for attention after her recent conflict with Bravo and Andy Cohen, and as a result, she’s using the platform Cameo to generate income.

A source has reportedly shared with DailyMail.com that Brandi is back at Cameo, and she thrives on being in the spotlight while also appreciating wealth.

How about saying, ‘A great strategy to regain attention could be using her current situation as a conversation starter, encouraging people to talk about her once more.’

The source noted that the reality star has been left unhappy with her ongoing woes as they added: ‘Brandi hates getting old and this latest skin and face issue is scary.’

They went on to say: ‘She aims for increased TV appearances, boosts her Cameo sales, and wants to stay relevant.’

She’s pondering over numerous options to escape that situation. If resolving her health concerns could help her regain her footing, it may turn out to be a beneficial trade-off.

‘She’ll get the notoriety she craves and some money making opportunities moving forward.’

Last week, Brandi made a comeback on the widely-used platform, Cameo, where fans can purchase custom video greetings from famous figures.

She shared with her 675,000 Instagram followers that it’s been more than a year since she’s been managing her health problems and hasn’t been able to stay current with the videos, but now she’s RETURNED on @cameo.

She is charging upwards of $125 per message which could feature her roasting someone, giving a pep talk, offering advice or celebrating a birthday.

In August 2023, Brandi disclosed that she had been diagnosed with stress-related swelling (angioedema) and attributed it to her stay on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco.

As stated by the Mayo Clinic, angioedema is a condition analogous to hives, but it leads to swelling in the deeper skin layers, frequently affecting areas around the face and lips.

After several months, the star ended up being admitted to the hospital on numerous occasions, and she mentioned experiencing significant financial costs due to these incidents.

Over these past days, the celebrity has posted many images and clips for her followers, showcasing her sunken, spotted facial features, and emphasizing the various challenges and unexpected events she has encountered along the way.

Brandi has repeatedly attributed her troubles to the Bravo network, which airs The Real Housewives series, claiming that the strain they put her under made her facial expressions appear like those of a gymnast.

Another source close to the situation mentioned that Brandi’s repeated criticism of Bravo has left a permanent mark on her public image.

They stated that she’s caused extensive harm, and she understands that her profession and standing are irreparably tainted. Her association with the network is no longer a possibility.

“It’s clear that she poses problems now, and attributing her health troubles to Bravo only reinforces the notion of the kind of individual she appears to be.” (This paraphrase maintains the original sentiment but presents it in a more conversational and less confrontational manner.)

Brandi opted to confront Bravo publicly, speaking out after they appeared to suppress her following sexual assault accusations against her by her co-star Caroline Manzo on The Ultimate Girls’ Trip.

In 2023, a cast member from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, aged 62, garnered attention when she claimed that Brandi forcibly kissed her and aggressively pressed her vaginal area against her back during the filming of the Housewives spin-off series in Morocco.

Caroline subsequently took the step of formally initiating a lawsuit against Bravo, based on her allegation that they inappropriately prompted Brandi to make unwanted sexual advances towards her.

Brandi and her legal representatives have consistently asserted her innocence, stating that she and Caroline were never left unaccompanied together. Furthermore, they argue that Brandi’s co-star never indicated a lack of consent during any encounter.

When a viewer from Bravo asked Brandi to move on earlier this year, she retorted by saying it was impossible for her since each time she sees her image, it serves as a reminder of the turmoil and difficulties she’s experienced during the last two years.

She vented angrily: “Get away from me! For the past two years, I’ve had to endure being unfairly labeled as a sexual offender due to a fictional role. It’s unjust and twisted!

‘I lost every job that I had coming up. I go to therapy I’m on medication to help but bravo allowed that narrative to go on for a year and a half. 

‘It wasn’t until Caroline filed her lawsuit that Bravo admitted that I did nothing wrong.

Despite my longing to advance in life, I find myself frequently visiting hospitals and experiencing unusual facial movements, akin to gymnastic exercises.

Each time I glance at the mirror, it serves as a stark reminder of how challenging the last two years have been. It’s effortless to critique from a distance, but perhaps it’s worth considering showing more compassion.

She shared that she has faced some health problems that have impacted her speaking abilities. Specifically, these issues have caused her face to swell up like in an anaphylactic shock reaction, and this happens frequently. Despite consulting with seven doctors, their conclusion was that it is a stress-induced condition called angioedema.

66-year-old celebrity surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow disputed the “parasite” hypothesis put forth by another star, suggesting that her distorted skin and hollowed cheeks might instead be due to an infection.

The plastic surgeon, married to Heather Dubrow from Real Housewives Of Orange County, expressed his worries to TMZ. His concerns were that Brandi might be experiencing an infectious issue or an adverse reaction to a substance she received through injection.

Additionally, he made it clear that Brandi should not be held responsible for her uncertainty regarding her condition, as he placed the blame on her doctor for lacking a definitive diagnosis and treatment strategy.
