Brandi Glanville Blames Swollen Face On Bravo

Brandi Glanville had earlier name-dropped the reality franchise for maltreating her and causing her mental and physical stress.

Glanville uploaded an image of herself with a badly swollen face on her Instagram story and encouraged the fans to keep her in their prayers. She did not stop there. The reality star further dropped a firm statement explaining her physical condition on her X account. In her words:

“What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

The post has since gathered over 1,000 likes and dozens of retweets. Fans have also penned down their heartfelt prayers under the post. “Brandi, I’m so sorry you have to deal with all this stress. Praying for you xoxo,” one fan wrote. Another sympathetic fan echoed similar sentiments that read:

“I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Sending you love.”[sic]

This fan agreed Glanville was right to accuse the company of hurting her, adding, “Being accused of something so vile would do that to anyone.”

This is not Glanville’s first rodeo slamming the reality network for her health inconveniences. In July, The Blast reported that the 52-year-old went on a raging campaign by sharing a portrait of herself looking physically exhausted on her X. Glanville declared:

“This is why I’m miserable and depressed 🙁 I’m not even gonnashare the picture of when it sinks in. Stress will kill you. How is your wealth? Take care of yourselfpeople thank you Bravo. I couldn’t even work if I wanted to at this point.”

Faithful watchers and followers of the “Real Housewives” show immediately expressed their concerns about her strange appearance. One user commented, “Ok I get stress can have a lot negative effects physically but isn’t a big part of this all the work you got done?”

“I’m sorry, baby. Praying you get peace soon and are vindicated. Stay strong,” this fan wrote. Well, the sympathy did not go round as some watchers of the show felt her “horrible actions” created her demise.

Another commenter encouraged Glanville to “pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You will get work if you want work. A person who makes money legally, whether it be as a doctor, waiting tables, or even only fans- is making a living for themselves and their families. Stopwith the blaming. You can do this.”

Glanville has taken her threats outside social media and embarked on legal steps against the network, including some of its producers.

Earlier in July, she disclosed her intentions to file a lawsuit against the network in court for using her as their “fall guy” and causing her extreme emotional stress with their actions.

Glanville previously sued one of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” executive producers, including Andy Cohen. It was the second time she would file a suit under her name against the network.

The former “RHOB” star shared that the stress she underwent during her time on the show had a damaging effect on her health, and she now suffers from “uncontrollable stress-induced angioedema” and a terrible financial crisis.

“I haven’t worked for a year & half. I’m [too] depressed to do my podcast & [too] swollen [for] cameo or OF. I’M BEING USED AS A FALL GUY,” as she declared she has the necessary evidence in her possession to support her claim but her legal team has advised against releasing them.

Glanville decided to sue Bravo after she was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit by Caroline Manzo from the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” franchise.

She allegedly assaulted Manzo in the bathroom while they were shooting the 2023 reality show “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” in Morocco. 

Glanville’s violent attack in the bathroom caused Manzo to hit her head as Manzo claimed the former model proceeded to grope her vagina after she locked the door and prevented her from escaping.

The podcaster claimed the producers who initially got her drunk did nothing to stop the attack. Manzo noted that the attack awakened “dormant and horrific memories” of her past, including an unfortunate event of sexual assault at age 7.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, however, reportedly refused to blame her Bravo colleague. She condemned Bravo for encouraging the “sexually offensive and harassing content.”

Glanville denied all allegations of sexual assault and tagged the content of Manzo’s lawsuit as “defamatory and false accusation,” stating that she simply did what the producers required of her and there was no assault.

The former reality star faced the consequences of the allegations as she began experiencing a financial decline. However, The Blast shared that Glanville had credited OnlyFans for pulling her out of the abyss of debts and financial crisis. 

She credited the adult platforms for helping her get back on her feet on an episode of her “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast. Glanville explained that her legal dilemma forced her to join OnlyFans. She noted:

“I thought I was, like, being desperate, and then when I got on it, I was like, ‘I’m really feeling my sexual being at 51.”

The “RHOB” alum added that sharing images of her feet brought back her confidence as she could not show her face due to her physical health condition. 

When will the bad blood between Brandi Glanville and Bravo end?
