Brandi Glanville makes heart-breaking confession about 'hiding out' amid medical mystery
Brandi Glanville has been on a break from social media, because she can't bear to deal with "cruel comments" about her appearance.
The 52-year-old reality star - who has been dealing with an undisclosed medical condition that has caused facial disfiguration for nearly two years - admitted she has been "hiding out" because of nasty posts about her looks.
However, Brandi has vowed to return to "sharing authentically" on social media "without all the filters and heavy edits".
She wrote on X: "It's been a minute since I posted on Patreon, but I'm going back and will be interacting on there again. I haven't posted much on any social site lately because I'm hiding out and don't want to deal with the cruel comments on my appearance, but I'll be posting and sharing authentically without all the filters and heavy edits.. See you there and don't forget to turn on your notifications for the daily drops (sic)"
Earlier this month, the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star admitted getting back to work had a huge "positive" impact on her health, after she teamed up with RIP Youth and Beks on new single 'Remedy'.
Brandi told BANG Showbiz: "Getting back to work has had such a positive effect on both my mental and even my physical health during these hard times.
"I'm looking forward to traveling again to promote and perform 'Remedy' with people I adore. Everyone who was involved in this song is awesome.
"It's such a nice feeling to bring joy to people with this music 'Remedy', like with my books.
"It's a positive change in comparison to 'Real Housewives'."
What's more, Brandi told how she enjoys having "control" of her own narrative through music, instead of being at the mercy of an editing team.
She said: "Unlike reality TV that fell into my lap - although I did enjoy some of it - doing this song 'Remedy' was completely my choice and such a creative pleasure.
"I can breathe when I'm doing music because I get to write and deliver my own narrative. I don't have to worry about being edited badly or what false story will be pitched. I love LOVE and control."

Cassie and Kim's court message to Australians
COMMENT Reading celebrity news normally doesn't feel like this. To dive into the trashier realms of the internet is like eating a Mars Bar, a sugar hit of a treat to be privately scoffed, a momentary escape from the gloom of 2025. Oh no, do tell me more about which West Village boîte is currently being patronised by Taylor Swift and that fella she is dating who seems to like a Gucci tracksuit! Wait, what has the ex-husband of the dogwalker of a Real Housewife been caught doing? Which buffed up Chris (Evans, Pratt, Hemsworth, Pine) has inexplicably taken their shirt off at just the moment a paparazzo happened to have their lens cap off? This week that changed. Right now, the two biggest celebrity stories in the world make for brutal reading and feature words like 'rape,' 'stomp', 'drag me', and 'black eye'. In New York and Paris this past week, courts have heard two famous, wealthy women detail alleged attacks, their testimony laying bare their trauma, fear and suffering. Here's the thing: If violence can allegedly reach any woman, anywhere, at any time, then no woman is ever truly safe. Neither fame nor money nor career success can every truly protect a woman from the threat of physical and sexual violence. None of us are ever immune. On Tuesday, singer Cassie Ventura and reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian were both giving evidence about their alleged attacks. For three full days now, Ms Ventura has been in the witness box in a New York courtroom in the federal sex trafficking trial of her former partner Sean 'Diddy' Combs. From the stand, Ms Ventura has alleged a nearly unthinkable litany of instances of physical and emotional abuse from Combs, evidence that the Washington Post has described as 'harrowing'. There were too many alleged incidents of abuse, the court heard, during their 11-year relationship, for her to remember them all. 'He would knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp my head if I was down,' Ventura said. She said that one of Combs' bodyguards 'started to cry' when he saw her after an alleged attack that she says left her with 'black eyes, golf ball-sized knot (on my) forehead, busted up lip'. During her testimony Ventura, 38, has alleged she was forced to take part in 'freak offs' – days long, drug-fuelled sex sessions that included escorts. She said that during a 'freak off', Combs would often 'grab me up. Push me down. Hit me in the side of the head. Kick me. You name it.' (On Thursday, Diddy's lawyers told the judge the rap mogul admitted he had committed 'domestic violence' in his relationship with an accuser, identified as Victim-1, who is expected to testify. His lawyer Marc Agnifilo said the defence will 'take the position that there was mutual violence' in Comb's relationship with Victim-1.) On the same day that Ventura entered the witness box, in Paris, Kardashian was telling a court that she thought she would be raped and murdered during a 'life-changing' ordeal during a visit to the city in 2016. There to attend fashion week, armed robbers allegedly broke into her hotel room and stole $15.4 million worth of jewellery during the 'traumatic' attack. Ms Kardashian said that on the night in question, she was taken at gunpoint into her bedroom and zip-tied. Wearing only a bathrobe, 'it was terrifying to feel that you were going to be raped and killed. I would not wish this on anyone. I would not wish it on my worst enemy.' 'I absolutely did think I was going to die.' 'The emotion and trauma' of the incident 'forever changed' her life, the mother-of-four said and 'the ordeal shattered her sense of safety,' according to the New York Times. The fundamental truth that has been laid bare this week: No woman is ever safe. Violence can reach a woman anywhere. In Australia, the same bears out. No woman, no matter how well off she might be or whichever harbourside postcode she calls home, is ever truly out of reach of the threat of violence. Wealth does not magically protect you from the possibility of a partner turning violent nor does stardom or having enough diamonds to open a personal De Beers concession. Take Vaucluse in Sydney's eastern suburbs, which is the country's most expensive suburb, with a median house price of $7.4 million. Last year Kellie Sloane, the NSW MP for Vaucluse, stood in the Legislative Assembly and recounted a conversation she had had when she was first elected in 2023. 'I asked the local police in my community what their greatest concern was,' Ms Sloane said. 'What was the issue that took up most of their time?' She had thought it might be drugs or car theft. She was wrong. 'It was, and still is, domestic violence.' Even in the affluent east, 'we have a hidden epidemic of domestic violence that grows deeper and more disturbing,' Ms Sloane wrote in The Daily Telegraph last year. Data from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, she said, 'showed (that— in the past two years, the rate of domestic violence had increased by 16.2 per cent in (Sydney's) east – one of the state's highest.' The same bears out in Melbourne's Stonnington and Port Phillip local government areas, which covers the prosperous areas of Toorak, Prahran, South Yarra, Albert Park and St Kilda. In the year to December 2024, there were 2507 reported 'family incidents', according to Victoria's Crime Statistics agency. Do I need to go on? While in Australia, regional areas do report higher rates of family and domestic violence, to dive into the crime stats is to be presented with the cold hard data that there is no corner of our society, no rich postcode or street full of houses with eight figure price tags, that is untouched by this scourge. What Ventura and Kardashian's testimony underscores is the danger, the looming persistent storm cloud-like possibility of violence, that hangs over all women. It can assail any one, anywhere, anytime and no matter how much Hermès they might have nonchalantly strewn across the floor.

Reality star's wild PDA with mystery woman
Mauricio Umansky is fully embracing the single life. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was spotted packing on the PDA with a new mystery blonde in Los Angeles this week — just months after he was caught in another PDA session with a different woman. Umansky appeared to be somewhat of a gentleman to his mystery date as he put his black jacket around her shoulders to wear in the chilly weather. Then things turned steamy as Umansky grabbed the woman by her butt and lifted her in the air for a smooch. It's unclear how long the two have been dating, but the pair seemed especially close on the outing as they were also pictured walking down the street hand-in-hand. The reality star kept it casual in a white T-shirt under his jacket and a pair of black jeans. Meanwhile, his date wore a midriff-baring top and black jeans. Reps for Umansky did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. This new sighting comes two months after the reality TV star — who has been separated from wife Kyle Richards since July 2023 — was seen engaging in yet another heavy petting session with a mystery brunette at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. An eyewitness told the US Sun they saw Umansky, 54, at the West Hollywood hotel 'with two women' at the same time that Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne were there. 'He appeared more interested in one of [the women],' the source said, noting that the realtor began 'making out' with his 'date' after the other woman left their table. 'Mau and the girl were kissing for a long while, all the way through the bar emptying and the lights coming up,' the eyewitness claimed. 'She seemed interested, and they were leaning into the kiss, but it still seemed more casual than serious.' Rinna, 61, and Jayne, 53, allegedly 'walked past' Umansky after using the restroom, and 'people noticed' neither party was especially kind to the other. The eyewitness was 'pretty sure' the ladies 'saw him' because the bathroom is located 'directly opposite' where he was sitting. Since Umansky and Richards, 56, went public with the news of their separation, the luxury real estate broker has been spotted engaging in some close PDA with several different women. One set of PDA photos involving Umansky and actress Nikita Kahn in a Mykonos airport last year resulted in Umansky giving a tearful apology to Richards in a March episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. During the 'awkward' conversation, the Halloween actress acknowledged that the pictures were 'hard to see,' but were also the turning point that made her realise her estranged husband of 27 years was 'moving on.'
