Brandi Glanville reveals she hasn't had sex in a year as she battles facial disfigurement

Brandi Glanville revealed that she has not had sex in a year, amid her battle with facial disfigurement. 

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, got candid about her intimate struggles on her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, on Sunday. 

She explained that she has not been out in public much since developing the issue late last year, and hasn't slept or kissed anyone since 2023. 

'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.' 

The star — who believes her issues are being caused by a parasitic infection — also added that her face is 'f****d' but that she had '50 good years.' 

Brandi — who previously claimed she dated a number of A-list stars — also shared that she had a consultation with Dr. Terry Dubrow, but has decided to get a second opinion. 

Brandi explained that Dubrow told her it might take five years for her to be 'totally fine.'

'Five years is way too long for me to wait.'

The star shared that she wants to 'run tests, get another MRI, another cat scan' adding that she wants to 'get to the bottom of this.' 

Brandi added that she doesn't 'feel better' and stills sees 'this thing in my face jumping around.' 

She also shared that she has 'four different doctors' who have given her 'four different opinions of what it could possibly be.'

Brandi told ET she has spent $70,000 already trying to determine the cause of the lumps. The star has even had all of her facial fillers dissolved.

This comes after Terry called Brandi's face a 'ticking time bomb.'

Dubrow shared his concerns over Glanville's disturbing claim that her recent facial disfigurement might be caused by a 'parasite.'

The plastic surgeon emphasized that Glanville's condition could be a 'ticking time bomb,' and he urged her to get help from her doctors as soon as possible in an interview with TMZ.

Dubrow added that, in his opinion, it's most important to get a doctor to give her a clear diagnosis so that she can treat the root problem.

He said he was 'concerned' that Glanville could be suffering from either an 'infectious process' or a 'foreign-body reaction to something she's had injected.'

Dubrow also clarified that Glanville isn't at 'fault' for not being certain about what is plaguing her, and he instead blamed her doctor for not having a solid diagnosis and treatment plan.

However, he seemed fairly certain that whatever was going on with her is 'not a parasite' and is 'not from something she ate.'

Instead, he suggested the issue is 'something that got into her bloodstream and seeded some foreign body.'

Surprisingly, Dubrow even thought it was possible that Glanville could be ahead of her doctors, as he said she could be right that she might require surgery.

He noted that she could have been infected with either mycobacteria or fungi, which could be 'very difficult to treat.'

Dubrow looked particularly concerned when he said Glanville's condition was 'like a ticking time bomb,' because the potential damage could get more and more severe in a short period of time.

He added that antibiotic treatments for mycobacteria or fungus could take six to 12 months.

It would be essential for her to get a solid diagnosis and possibly a skin sample to determine what she was suffering from.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this week, Brandi opened up about the frustration she feels over not being able to get a diagnosis for the unknown 'parasite' under the skin on her face.

'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize. I don't go out and I'm just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what's wrong with me, over $70,000,' she told ET.

Glanville has been a variety of doctors in an attempt to get to the root of her issue.

'Honestly, I have so many doctors and I've had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000. I ran every test under the sun.… They're like, it could be a parasite that's, you know, new.'

Brandi thinks she knows how she contracted the potential parasite.

'I mean, we had food sitting out for hours on end and some of it was meat. In Morocco,' she offered.

'Six months after I got back from [filming in] 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.'

Despite her health battle, Brandi had an enjoyable holiday season, as she joined her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his country singer wife LeAnn Rimes for Christmas.

She was seen in a group photo posted to Instagram with the couple. Also spied were the two sons that Brandi shares with Eddie: Mason, 21, and Jake, 17.

Glanville's face looked healthy as she was seen with a Christmas hat on in the back row.

She was married to Eddie from 2001 until 2010.

Brandi previously claimed she dated a number of famous men prior to her marriage, including Friends co-stars David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc, actors Gerard Butler and Ben Stiller, and one unnamed star from The Notebook.
