Brandi Glanville has found support in her former RHOBH castmate Yolanda Hadid as she continues treatment for a mysterious facial condition. According to a recent episode of Brandi's podcast, Unfiltered, Yolanda helped connect Brandi with doctors who can assist with her care.
The 53-year-old reality star revealed that the issue began after filming Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in 2023. On her podcast, Brandi mentioned that Yolanda's support has been invaluable, stating "Yolanda's been very helpful, and she's hooked me up with some doctors."
This assistance comes as no surprise, given Yolanda's own experience with a long-term health battle. Diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, the former Housewife has been open about her struggles and has likely drawn on this knowledge to help Brandi navigate her own situation.
In addition to her medical issues, Brandi has spoken out about the significant financial burden of her ongoing treatment. A GoFundMe campaign was recently launched by one of her close friends, aiming to raise $25,000 to cover Brandi's expenses. As of the time of writing, over $21,800 has been raised towards this goal.
Brandi's diagnosis consists of highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis, and mononucleosis. Her treatment plan includes daily IV medication through a PICC line, which will be required for several months. It is estimated that Brandi will need to continue treatment for at least four to six months, with the possibility of an extended recovery period depending on her progress.
Several Housewives stars have shown their support for Brandi, including Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, Eileen Davidson, Camille Grammer, and Claudia Jordan, who have all contributed to the fundraising effort. While this may provide some comfort, it remains unclear what impact this support will have on Brandi's future appearances on Bravo shows.
