Brandi Glanville Flaunts New Breast Implants After Health Ordeal

Brandi Glanville appears to be doing significantly better after undergoing surgery to remove her ruptured breast implants. After spending countless months as a recluse, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, aged 53, happily flaunted her new chest in an Instagram video on Monday.

Confidence on Display

With a newfound sense of confidence, Glanville strutted around her hotel room in a skimpy, colorful bikini and two ankle weights. Her toned physique was on full display as she lip-synced the words to Tame Impala and Jennie's hit single Dracula, which recently went viral on TikTok.

The video comes roughly two months after the mother-of-two went under the knife with Dr. Ariel Ourian to replace her leaky, ruptured implants, which she had had for around 18 years.

Health Struggles and Parasite Infection

Glanville previously claimed that her face had been deformed by parasites that she caught in Morocco in 2023 while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club 2. The infection led to an extreme facial disfigurement, which Glanville spent approximately $200,000 trying to fix.

Last year, she was informed that her ruptured breast implants had been blocking her lymph nodes, which was preventing her face from healing from the infection. Speaking to TMZ about the ordeal, Glanville explained that she definitely had a parasite, but that her implants were also completely ruptured, leaving her with silicone all over her lymph nodes.

She also spoke to In Touch Weekly, stating that a technician informed her, whatever's going on in your face, it can't drain because your lymph nodes are clogged with silicone. Glanville added, It's something that I could die from if I hadn't figured it out.

Surgery and Ongoing Health Issues

The reality star underwent the surgery in early February with Dr. Ourian, who gave her new implants after removing the old ones. Although Glanville already feels much better since the surgery, she still insists that a parasite is the main cause of her many health issues.

I'm paying out of pocket to see specialists, infectious disease doctors, you know, rheumatologists, like every doctor you can think of, I saw, she shared on the I Do Part 2 podcast. I went to 21 doctors and I'm telling you, $200,000 ... the people at my insurance … let's just say sucks.

Impact on Personal and Professional Life

Glanville says that her ongoing health battle has destroyed her personal and professional life. I haven't had sex in three years. The whole time I've been sick because I've lost my confidence, she explained. And I felt like I lost everything at once in a weird way. Like I lost my job, I lost my reputation, I lost my looks.

Glanville was last seen on TV in season one of Peacock's The Traitors in 2023. Despite being off screens for years, she recently pitched herself as the next lead on ABC's The Golden Bachelorette. Taking a swipe at ousted Bachelorette Taylor Frankie Paul, Glanville said, I have no rap sheet and no domestic violence charges.

Career Moves and Legal Battles

In lieu of major TV opportunities, Glanville recently revived her long-running podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered. She is also still active on OnlyFans, where she shares racy photos and videos of herself with paying subscribers.

Last year, Glanville got candid about the mental toll that fellow Housewife Caroline Manzo's sexual assault allegations had on her. The RHOBH alum opened up about the lawsuit on the MisSPELLING podcast with host Tori Spelling.

Manzo accused Glanville of kissing her without consent and further claimed she forcibly fondled my vagina while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in January 2023 on location in Morocco. Glanville has vehemently denied the allegations.

The narrative when we got back from Morocco was I was fired for being inappropriate with Caroline Manzo. And I wasn't... It's ruined my life, the reality star claimed. I got sick six months later. But those six months, I was in a fetal position on my couch, like, contemplating suicide, being called horrible things. It's so crazy that the press has so much power, she continued.

Financial and Emotional Struggles

Amid the lawsuit, the TV personality said that she lost work opportunities and had to join OnlyFans in order to make an income after her savings began to dwindle down. And then I lost my looks at the same time, she said, referencing her battle with a mysterious facial disfigurement.

I literally, at 51, started OnlyFans, because I didn't have income for six months and I was like going through my savings. Glanville recalled, I was making good money and then my face started being crazy. It's just been a really tough time.

Back in 2023, Manzo, who previously starred on RHONJ, made the sexual misconduct allegations against Glanville while they were filming the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. The following year, Caroline sued Bravo and claimed that the production did nothing to stop the alleged assault.

Glanville's attorney shared a letter that insisted no form of sexual assault had taken place and requested that the network release all existing documents and data in regards to the accusations.
