Brandi Glanville believes that she might have contracted “sexually transmitted ringworm.”
“I have a quick question. Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm?” Glanville, 53, asked podcast guest Lisa Ann on the Thursday, May 21, episode of her “Brandi Unfiltered” show. “I feel like I have it … in my throat.”
Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect the hair, skin or nails, according to the CDC. It can spread through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, which causes more severe infections.
“It’s one of these things that most people don’t know what to look for,” Ann, an author and media personality, claimed. “We had to train our makeup artists that when a new member of talent would show up, they would have to get naked in a window where there’s good light and they would inspect their body to see if they see any patches because it’s incredibly contagious.”
As for Glanville, she believes that she allegedly contracted the infection after dating “somebody in that industry.”
“He would only, you know, my face … because he didn’t want to get me pregnant,” she said, without identifying her date. “He didn’t know that ship had sailed. I’m like, ‘OK, whatever, I’m not going to correct you. Alright, honey.’ And in my mouth in all that, [then] my girlfriend told me about it yesterday. I knew nothing about it.”
Glanville said that she already underwent multiple tests to find out if she had a sexually transmitted disease in her throat, which came back negative.
“I really just heard about ringworm yesterday, and they can apparently … burrow in, like, if it’s in your throat,” the Bravo alum said. “If it’s in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that.”
Brandi Glanville has had a difficult two years due dealing with a mysterious medical condition that has caused facial disfigurement. In July 2024, Glanville first opened up about her health issues, noting that she wanted to sue Bravo because of it. “This stress has ruined my health. I have uncontrollable stress induced angio-edema I haven’t […]
Glanville has faced multiple mysterious health issues over the years, including a facial disfigurement that she blames on a parasite.
“It’s been a slow process, but I’m finally getting back to my normal routine and feeling like myself again,” Glanville exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025, noting she has “a fresh start” after moving to a new house. “The new space has really helped me reset and focus on creating a calmer, more positive environment for myself.”
She continued, “I’m enjoying keeping things simple, spending more time at home, and really taking care of myself. … I’m actively filming my YouTube series and working on a variety of new projects, so my focus is really on everything I’m creating today. It’s been exciting to grow and explore new platforms.”
