Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville has raised over $14,000 through her GoFundMe fundraiser. Her friend Gina Rodriguez launched a GoFundMe to cover Glanville’s health expenses.

Top donations include The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay, disgraced former U.S. congressman George Santos, reality television star and businesswoman Vicki Gunvalson, and actress Kyle Richards (married to Mauricio Umansky). Other donors include actress Eileen Davidson and Rodriguez.

Glanville has been dealing with a prolonged and severe health crisis involving a fungal ball in her face and multiple complex infections. Doctors reportedly diagnosed her with “highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis, and Mononucleosis.”

Brandi Glanville's GoFundMe titled “Standing with Brandi Glanville Through Her Treatment” has been set up with a goal of $28,000. The funds are intended to cover her IV medication, upcoming surgeries and procedures that involve the removal of a fungal ball in her face, old metal dental work, and her breast implants.

Brandi Glanville's ongoing health struggles as Real Housewives stars donate to GoFundMe

Brandi Glanville opened up about her health issues after filming Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco in 2023.

She first noticed symptoms in July 2023 and linked them to food exposure during the trip. She has described food being left out for hours during filming and suggested she may have contracted a parasite. She explained that her symptoms first appeared in her head and neck, which then traveled to her joints, making her feel like “a hundred years old.”

But this is not the only health complication Brandi Glanville has faced in her life. As per a report in People magazine, it took her 21 doctors and $200,000 before she discovered a ruptured silicone breast implant.

On a February 2026 episode of I Do, Part 2 podcast, she told hosts Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles that she had “weird lumps in my neck, like hard lumps,” and that all of her symptoms began on the left side. She further said:

“…my right breast was ruptured and had like leaks, and I had silicone in both my lymph nodes, like both under my arms, in both my arms, like silicone was in my lymph nodes. However, like the mammograms were saying, 'You're fine.'”

In the wake of Brandi Glanville’s diagnosis, her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars had her back: Kyle Richards, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Claudia Jordan donated $500, $200, and $100, respectively, to Glanville’s GoFundMe. Her fundraiser page states:

“For the past three years, RHOBH Alum, Brandi Glanville has been fighting an illness that has completely changed her life. She has gone from doctor to doctor searching for answers while her health continued to decline. Now, after years of uncertainty, she finally has a diagnosis and a treatment plan, but the road ahead is long, painful, and incredibly expensive.”

Glanville’s GoFundMe emphasizes that despite enduring 12 hours of IV medication daily, she has experienced very little improvement. She is exhausted and in pain and has been trying to mentally prepare herself for months for upcoming treatment and surgeries. Due to these treatments, she has been overburdened with financial expenses.

In the meantime, Glanville has been focusing on her health and healing rather than dating. She divorced her husband, Eddie Cibrian, in 2010 after they married in 2001. She shares two children with her ex-husband, Mason Edward Cibrian (aged 23) and Jake Austin Cibrian (aged 19).
