Real Housewives star slams speculation she paid to get daughter into Yale six years after college admission scandal
A Real Housewives star is denying insinuations she and her spouse forked over money to have their daughter accepted into an Ivy League school. The Real Housewives of Orange County, 56, chat with Us Weekly on Friday in regard to the issue after an Instagram user asked her the size of the donation she made to the school, to which she replied, '$0.' 'That ship sailed a long time ago,' the reality star told the outlet more than six years after Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were charged in a college admission scandal that ultimately led to convictions and jail sentences for both actresses. 'Even if I wanted to pay, that's not a thing,' the New York City-born Bravo star, who has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, told the magazine. Dubrow, who's been wed to husband Terry since 1999, chat with the outlet at the 32nd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala, which was held in Los Angeles at Fairmont Century Plaza. Dubrow also provided a specific example of how she's avoided trying to get her kids a leg up in the educational system, pointing out a decision she made years back with her twins. She said, 'I'll tell you a quick story - when the twins got into kindergarten, that process of private school kindergarten was so ridiculous to me and upsetting and it gave me so much anxiety [that I said], "I'm never doing this again.' 'So I told all the kids when they got to high school, "If you want choices, study, and here's your guidance counselor and do your best. I'll be your cheerleader, but I'm not fighting with you. This is your life. It's up to you." And that's exactly what we've done.' Dubrow took to the site Sunday with a post alongside her spouse, writing, 'Date night… but make it preventative care reminder that colon health is self-care. She said on Instagram. Schedule yours. (Part 1 of 2—yes, there's more ) **** for everyone asking the prep was CLENPIQ **. Dubrow added the hashtags #datenight, #husbandwife, #selfcare #colonoscopy #coloncancerawareness #husbandwifegoals and #colonhealth.

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

Brandi Glanville Cries For Help Amid Continued Facial Disfiguration: 'Drs At Kaiser Say I'm Fine'
Brandi Glanville does not agree with her doctors' opinion on the strange health issues disfiguring her face. The Bravo star continues to deal with the mystery illness that took over her face and has seemingly advanced into a more severe health condition. Brandi Glanville experienced a very brief breakthrough last year following Dr. Terry Dubrow's intervention in her condition, but things seem to have taken a downward turn now. The "RHOBH" star took to the social media platform to share her symptoms, indicating that she is far from being healed. Glanville wrote: "I have painful lumps in jaw bone area on side of neck & in back of neck I have chills & A constant oily fowl 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. Drs at Kaiser say I'm fine :/HELP ME." [sic] The post has gained lots of traction from concerned fans who urged her to seek more helpful medical options. "Contact @MayoClinic best hospital in the USA for abnormal and rare diseases and illnesses," this commenter shared. Another X user added, "Have you tried ivermectin and fenbanzole? I'm not a doctor but have read on their effectiveness with parasites. Do your own research though." On her "Kaiser," part of the tweet, one follower who has seemingly experienced a bad experience with the facility described it as "THE WORST!" The commenter urged the TV star to "Find a different insurance if you can. They almost killed my baby and had me on medicine that was making extremely ill for months. If you can't change then ask a nurse what doctors they recommend. The nurses know it all."[sic] In a previous report by The Blast, Dr. Dubrow provided an update on Glanville's ongoing facial issues, which have persisted due to a mystery illness. Despite their efforts, the plastic surgeon explained that they were yet to find a permanent solution. Dubrow indicated that Glanville will undergo a surgical tissue sampling, which he hopes will reveal the underlying cause of her symptoms. After initially hesitating to seek his help, Glanville finally placed her full trust in Dr. Dubrow, especially after experiencing significant improvement from his treatment last December. She could not wait to show off her positive results shortly after on Instagram, where she confidently posed in a hot pink bikini while enjoying a cocktail. Glanville could not stop her admiration for Dubrow, as she emphasized that her collaborating with him was a clear choice due to his expertise in plastic surgery and medical challenges. She also voiced her openness to working with qualified professionals who can offer a conclusive diagnosis for her condition. The media personality's new fine about Dubrow marked a significant change in her stance, as she had previously deemed the medic unsuitable for her needs. She declined his offer of assistance last December due to the daunting prospect of a five-year recovery period. Glanville admitted that the lengthy recovery was overwhelming for her, revealing on her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast that her facial issues had adversely affected her social life and intimate relationships for more than a year. "Five years is way too long for me to wait. I have sh-t to do. I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October. I haven't kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven't socialized, really," she explained. Dubrow, an experienced beauty specialist, suggested to Glanville that her issues might be linked to microorganisms introduced into her bloodstream via an injection. Dubrow added that her disfigured face could be a result of two types of microorganisms as he stressed the urgent need for medical attention. He described her condition as a "ticking time bomb." Additionally, the medic warned the reality show star that the longer the dangerous microorganisms remained in her system, the more severe the damage to her face would become. He noted that if action was not taken swiftly, it could lead to more extensive scarring and nodules in her body. The "Botched" star expressed his willingness to help Glanville if she struggled to find a trustworthy doctor. As always, Glanville has remained active, sharing her health episodes and struggles on social media, especially regarding her facial deformity. Last year, The Blast reported that she urged her fans to keep her in their prayers after posting a picture on her Instagram story that showed her visibly swollen face. In a statement on her X page, she expressed her frustration, revealing that she has spent nearly the past year and a half in and out of hospitals, exhausting her finances in the search for a diagnosis. Glanville mentioned various potential diagnoses for her condition, including a parasite and stress-induced edema, but she humorously attributed her issues to Bravo, the network behind her reality show. This statement follows her earlier criticisms of Bravo, where she expressed how the situation has led to her feelings of misery and depression. In her previous posts, she highlighted her appearance's negative impact on her ability to work and urged her followers to prioritize their health and well-being. When will Brandi Glanville discover a lasting solution to this nasty facial problem?

Brandi Glanville Says She Visited Botched's Dr. Terry Dubrow for ‘4' Face Biopsies Amid Health Issues
Brandi Glanville is seeking help from another reality TV legend for her facial disfigurement. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum turned to Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow as she sought out medical advice to treat her abnormal facial swelling, which she feared was caused by 'parasites.' 'Yes guys, @DrDubrow took 4 tiny biopsy's [sic] from my face so we can continue to get better,' Brandi, 52, wrote via X on Wednesday, January 29. 'Ez pz no pain I was in and out on 30 minutes now we wait.' Brandi accepted the celebrity doctor's public offer to treat her condition in December 2024, as Dr. Dubrow, 66, disagreed with her initial belief that parasites were the cause. 'I saw one of her interviews and I've seen the picture of her, the one where she is swollen, the one where she is really deflated with the irregular skin,' the medical professional told TMZ at the time. 'Here's the thing, here's what Brandi really needs to focus on… and it's not her fault, it's her doctor's fault. Brandi needs a diagnosis.' He believed her facial issues weren't caused by a parasite or something she ate but rather by 'an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she had injected,' leading to a bacterial infection. '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,' he continued. 'Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it. It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules.' Brandi later confirmed she was having all her facial fillers dissolved after she got in contact with Dr. Dubrow. 'I appreciate all the help I can get. We have been in touch and plan to talk thank you for all the love,' she wrote via X on December 13, 2024. "All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at Cedar Sinai and all the doctors they referred me to.' The Bravo celebrity previously opened up about spending more than $70,000 in temporary solutions to attempts to fix the issue. 'Honestly, I have so many doctors and I've had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,' she said in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. 'I ran every test under the sun.… They're like, 'It could be a parasite.'' Although she doesn't know the origin of her condition yet, Brandi initially believed she contracted the ailment while she was in Morocco filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. 'We had food sitting out for hours on end and some of it was meat. In Morocco,' she told Entertainment Tonight late last year, explaining her symptoms started popping up once she returned home. 'Six months after I got back from Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing, it started in July and we're still here trying to figure it out.'

Brandi Glanville Goes Back To Dr. Dubrow To Fix Her Facial Disfiguration
Dr. Terry Dubrow is one of the best plastic surgeons for a good reason, and Brandi Glanville has learned firsthand that he is the right man to trust. The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum has been plagued by a mystery illness that caused her face to swell and disfigure her beautiful features. She initially believed her symptoms were stress-induced and blamed Bravo for it. However, Dr. Terry Dubrow caught wind of her situation and advised her to seek better help from a professional like himself. Brandi Glanville refused his offer because of its long recovery time but quietly changed her mind sometime last year. Dr. Dubrow recently shared news about Glanville's facial status, revealing she had been under his care, but they had not found a permanent solution to her problem. He explained that she still experienced uncomfortable symptoms from her mystery illness, forcing them to go under the knife. The plastic surgeon noted he would perform a surgical tissue sampling on Glanville, which would hopefully unveil the root cause of her facial issues. As for why the former Bravolebrity trusted Dr. Dubrow after initially turning down his services, his expertise came through. Glanville felt much better after receiving the doctor's recommended treatment last December. She even flaunted the fantastic results on Instagram days earlier, rocking a hot pink bikini while looking better than ever as she sipped on a cocktail, per TMZ. Glanville sang Dr. Dubrow's praise, noting that working with him was a no-brainer given his expertise in plastic surgery and medical mysteries. On that note, she stressed her willingness to work with qualified individuals who could provide a definitive diagnosis of her illness. Glanville's complete 180 was shocking as she previously implied Dr. Dubrow was not the right man to fix her face. Last December, The Blast shared that she turned down his offer to help because it involved a five-year recovery time frame. She claimed the recovery time was too much for her to endure, confessing on her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast that her facial problems had significantly impacted her social and sex life for over a year. In her words: "Five years is way too long for me to wait. I have sh-t to do. I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October. I haven't kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven't socialized, really." Glanville praised Dr. Dubrow as a "lovely man;" however, she believed he was not the right doctor for her. She expressed interest in a second opinion, noting she wanted a more in-depth medical assessment to understand the cause of her facial problems. "I want to run tests, and I wanna get another MRI and another CAT scan and do all the things. I wanna get to the bottom of this. I just don't wanna guess at what it is," Glanville explained. She confessed that she had seen multiple doctors but was no closer to finding an answer to her mystery illness. Despite feeling frustrated about her facial issues, Glanville did not regret publicizing the problem. She went public with her swollen features in 2023, believing it stemmed from stress-induced angioedema. Last December, she blamed Bravo for symptoms, claiming it stemmed from eating bad food on the show. When Dr. Dubrow offered to help Glanville fix her face, he argued that her problem stemmed from something that entered her bloodstream through an injection. The Blast reported that he believed her distorted features could be the work of two types of microorganisms and implored her to seek immediate medical attention. He described her face as a "ticking time bomb," noting the longer the microorganisms stayed in her system, the more damage Glanville would suffer. Dr. Dubrow explained that if the organisms were not removed quickly, treatment would become difficult. According to the plastic surgeon, untimely action could result in more scars and nodules in Glanville's body. On that note, the "Botched" star offered to do his best to assist the former Bravolebrity if she could not find a reliable doctor. Dr. Dubrow's comments about Glanville's facial problems stemming from microorganisms sparked various fan theories on X. Many suspected her disfigured features stemmed from poor life choices, with someone claiming, "These are effects of cocaine … soon her nose will collapse!!!." Another theorist argued, "It's simple … she puts poison in her face." A third supported the cosmetic surgery claim, noting: "Don't put shit in your face. Easy fix." The theories continued, with an X user sharing Dr. Dubrow's suspicions, writing: "Looks like more than a parasite to me." A critic mocked Glanville's swollen features, claiming she "looks like she got whacked with an ugly stick." A fellow troll echoed similar sentiments, noting the media personality had a "butter face." What will Dr. Terry Dubrow discover once he performs surgery on Brandi Glanville?
