Key Points
Brandi Glanville shared on her podcast she thinks she recently contracted “sexually transmitted ringworm.”
“I knew nothing about it,” Glanville said of having to learn about the sexually transmitted infection.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has gone public about a plethora of health issues that were caused by damaged breast implants.
Brandi Glanville is opening up about a new health issue.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumna shared her concern that she may have contracted a “sexually transmitted ringworm” on the May 21 episode of her podcast Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.
Glanville felt she had this particular sexually transmitted infection in her throat, she told with guest and former adult film actress Lisa Ann. Sexually transmitted ringworm can be highly contagious, can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity, and is caused by the fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII (TMVII).
“I was dating, I was seeing someone in that industry,” Glanville explained. “He would only, you know, my face. He would because he didn’t want to get me pregnant. He didn’t know that ship had sailed.”
Glanville said that while she recently got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, she had just learned what sexually transmitted ringworm was from a friend.

“I knew nothing about it… Apparently, you can see them when it’s on the outside of your skin, but they can burrow in like if it’s in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that,” Glanville added.
Ann explained the STI is “very common” within the adult film industry, saying “So it’s one of these things that most people don’t know what to look for. And 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.”
During the podcast, Glanville’s co-host James Maas brought up other ongoing health issues for the reality star. Glanville has struggled for years and spent thousands of dollars trying to determine the cause for a multitude of health issues including facial disfigurement, eventually learning she got a facial parasite due to her ruptured breast implants that caused silicone to leak into her body.
“Knocking the silicone out really helped. You could see it. It was like night and day,” Maas said of Glanville. “Just seeing her like in the last six weeks, like not having silicon leaking into your body, it’s like seeing someone go from gray to color again.”

A sonogram revealed the dangerous leak, Glanville said in February.
“The woman [who] did the sonogram was like, ‘Brandi, you need to get those out yesterday. She’s like, ‘You have a slow leak in your left [implant] and your right [implant] is completely ruptured, and it’s in all of your lymph nodes under both arms,” Glanville shared.
Having seen over 20 doctors to address her medical issues, Glanville expressed she’s “scared to death” over learning the root cause.
“It’s something that I could die from if I hadn’t figured it out,” she said.
