Brandi Glanville said she had a “black mass” removed from her face during a surgical procedure as she continues to face an inexplicable medical nightmare.
“I’m still figuring out my sickness,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum, 53, said during a health update on Friday’s episode of her “Unfiltered” podcast.”
Glanville noted that she has an antibiotic-resistant infection in her glands and that she’s “on antibiotics almost 24 hours a day,” but has seen some improvement to the condition with new medications.
The Bravo personality said she “just can’t wait to go back outside and be normal” amid the condition, which has caused ongoing facial issues, and added while gesturing to the left side of her face that “this side of [her] face isn’t moving right now.”
Glanville revealed that a “black mass” — one of “several” — was “taken out” during a recent surgery, and admitted, “We’re not sure what that is yet.”
The reality star said her friend, Markee, had recently died and that she was unable to attend his memorial service due to her having “so much fluid” in her ears.
“I keep on thinking and talking myself into this crazy thing like, ‘Oh my god, people hate me. Mark’s family hates me,’” she said.
Glanville noted that, due to her condition, it “just wasn’t possible” for her to attend.
“Like I couldn’t fly,” she lamented. “I couldn’t drive.”
The “Celebrity Apprentice” alum said her son Mason, 23, asked her “what’s the point?” when she expressed her need to be out and about amid the devastating illness.
She recalled telling him, “Mason, I want to fall in love again. I don’t want to sit home every night and be a recluse.”
Glanville revealed in September she’s battling a slew of conditions, including Demodex dermatitis, mononucleosis, “Valley Fever” (Coccidioidomycosis) as well as “highly resistant” ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm.
She shared during an October episode of her podcast that she’d be undergoing an “exploratory surgery” so her doctor could learn more about what she said could be “fungal balls or something alive.”
“He’s, like, literally going in there with a power washer, basically, and knives and all this s–t,” she said. “And then he’s spinning my blood and doing this platelet thing on the inside of my face.”
She’s also said she was prepping to have a fungal ball removed from her face.
Glanville first began experiencing symptoms in 2023, and by 2024 she had a bruised and swollen cheek.
In 2024, Glanville alleged that Bravo was to blame for the facial condition, claiming in a social media post that she was “miserable and depressed” and that “stress will kill you.”
Glanville later said physicians suspected a “parasite that jumps around [her] face,” with others suggesting she was dealing with “stress-induced edema.”
By February, she’d concluded her 20-year-old breast implants could be the culprit. She shared in June that she’d been diagnosed with a benign facial tumor in a lymph node.
“I just want this s–t OUT of my body,” she bemoaned in a previous social media post. “I want my health back. I want my life back. I want to feel like me again.”
