Brandi Glanville rushed to hospital amid health issues after being unable to move her head and neck

Yahoo25-04-2025
Real Housewives alum Brandi Glanville was rushed to the hospital after being unable to move her head and neck earlier this week.
Glanville is currently in the midst of an unknown health condition, which has led to facial disfigurement.
The 52-year-old told her followers about the latest incident on X on Tuesday, writing, 'My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed.
'I called 911, had a lovely trip in the ambulance. Now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.'
Glanville, who has been battling health issues for years now, followed up her original post with a picture of an IV in her arm and a snapshot of her hospital bill.
'I hate this place but should be another fun ambulance bill,' she wrote in the caption.
On Thursday, she confirmed she was discharged from the hospital.
She said: 'Hey kitty kats fresh off yesterdays ER VISIT Ive decided to go live on IG with my future daughter in law & fellow Irishman Sarah D on IG live tonight at 6:30 p.m. to talk about our eBay shop.'
Glanville's hospital visit comes a year after the on-screen star revealed she'd spent $70,000 trying to treat what doctors initially thought was a parasite in her face that led to severe disfigurement.
At the time, she told Entertainment Tonight: 'Honestly, I have so many doctors and I've had so many tests. I did lab work for $10,000. They ran every test under the sun. They're like, 'It could be a parasite that's new.'
'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize,' she said. 'I don't go out and I'm just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what's wrong with me.'
In January, Glanville said she tapped Botched co-host Dr. Terry Dubrow to help determine the cause of her condition after her other doctors were unsuccessful.
Dr. Dubrow took four 'tiny biopsies' from her face and her neck, which led him to believe the disfigurement was caused by 'an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she's had injected.'
He told TMZ: 'There are these two kinds of microorganisms, one's called a Microbacterium and the other is called a fungus, and they can be very difficult to treat and could take six to 12 months of antibiotics to treat.
'Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it,' he continued. 'It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules.'
Even with Dr. Dubrow's diagnosis, Glanville's condition worsened. In March, she told her followers her face was 'worse than ever.'
She took to X over the weekend to share how her facial lumps have been excreting liquid that is oozing down to her teeth.
'I have painful lumps ... in jaw bone area on side of neck & in back of neck. I have chills & constant oily fowl [sic] tasting drainage from face into mouth it's acidic & is eating away at my teeth plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen,' she wrote.
She also wrote: 'I've been faking it. I'm f***ing miserable. My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away.'
Glanville added: 'When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better I looked normal but I couldn't afford to stay on them. I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real life health update.'

Teddi Mellencamp warns about critical medical oversight in her cancer journey

Teddi Mellencamp is getting candid about the alarming oversight in her cancer journey—and the lesson she learned about taking charge of her own health. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, 44, opened up about how doctors missed a crucial step in her melanoma monitoring process, despite her regular visits. "When you go to a doctor, you just assume that's it. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do," Mellencamp told Glamour. "At first, I didn't even really do the research on melanoma because I didn't want to know all of the bad things." The television personality has been vocal about her stage 4 metastatic melanoma diagnosis and multiple subsequent treatments, using her platform to raise awareness about the deadly skin cancer. Mellencamp shared how doctors may have overlooked the symptoms prior to her stage 4 diagnosis.

"I never really thought about it because I was like, I go to a doctor every three months. Why wouldn't they get me checked?" According to Mellencamp, her highest-stage melanoma was a stage one lesion in her shoulder. Since her previous diagnoses hadn't exceeded stage one, doctors allegedly made the call to forgo full-body scans—something Mellencamp now believes was a major misstep as they didn't catch her melanoma spreading. "When I finally followed up on it, they were like, 'We didn't do the scans, because you didn't have anything above a stage one on your body,'" she recalled. "But look what happened." Mellencamp urged others to take a more proactive role in their healthcare. "It's really being an advocate for yourself and your health if you're not feeling good," she said. The reality star continues to undergo treatment and has kept her fans updated via social media, where she shares not only her medical journey, but also the emotional toll it's taken. Mellencamp was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year after her melanoma metastasized in her brain and lungs. She underwent surgery to remove several masses and has been receiving immunotherapy and radiation.

'Real Housewives' Star Reveals Young Son's 'Very Overwhelming' Health Diagnosis

'Real Housewives' Star Reveals Young Son's 'Very Overwhelming' Health Diagnosis originally appeared on Parade. Real Housewives of Orange County star is opening up about the "very overwhelming" diagnosis her young son, Luke, recently received. In a new interview with People, the reality star revealed that the 10-year-old suffers from ARFID, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, which is an eating disorder that causes food restriction, but is not 'caused by a negative self-image or a desire to change your body weight," according to the Cleveland Clinic, like Anorexia or Bulemia. Simpson believed that Luke, like many kids, was simply an incredibly picky eater, until he stopped eating altogether. After seeing a therapist, he was diagnosed with the mental health disorder, which sparks "fear and anxiety about food or the consequences of eating." People with ARFID may avoid eating due to the fear of choking or vomiting, or decline food because of "unwanted color, taste, texture or smell." In Luke's case, "he's very overwhelmed by texture, color, smells." Simpson explained, "He will only eat white rice. And he has to inspect each piece of rice before he eats it. So it's beyond picky eating. A lot of control issues. It's very overwhelming.' The diagnosis will be chronicled in season 19 of RHOC, which Simpson admitted she often "didn't even know if [she] could continue to film" due to the stress and uncertainty. 'There were so many times when he would say he was starving… because he was starving. But he would refuse to eat. And as a mom, that was so frustrating," she explained. "I didn't know what to do because on one hand he's crying and telling me he's starving, and on the other hand, he refuses to eat anything that I offer." 'Every day is challenging,' she added. Today, Luke's therapist and nutritionist help him to improve, and he's added french fries, sliced bananas, potato chips, ice cream and plain turkey that 'doesn't have any lines or blemishes in it' to his diet, and they continue to work on ways to decrease his fears and anxieties surrounding food. While Simpson has some concerns that being so open about Luke's diagnosis may lead kids or parents at school to say something, she's more hopeful that her transparency will help others going through the same thing—something and youngest daughter also aims to do, as she has struggled with the same disorder.'Real Housewives' Star Reveals Young Son's 'Very Overwhelming' Health Diagnosis first appeared on Parade on Jul 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
