Brandi Glanville Says She’s Been Celibate for 2 Years Amid Health Issues

Brandi Glanville revealed she’s been celibate for two years amid her ongoing health struggles.

“[My celibacy is] not by choice, but yeah, because I’ve lost my security in my looks,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, revealed on the Thursday, April 10, episode of Tori Spelling’s “Misspelling” podcast. “I’m so insecure. I isolate in Calabasas. I don’t leave my house.”

Glanville and Spelling appeared to bond over their recent personal troubles, as the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress is going through a divorce with estranged husband Dean McDermott. The two joked that there are three types of men they want to avoid in their future dating lives.

“I feel like actors, athletes and musicians, they can’t be faithful,” Glanville advised. “Those three are off the table.”

She went on, “I have this theory — there can only be one star in the relationship.”

Glanville has addressed a litany of health issues in recent months. In December 2024, the former RHOBH cast member confirmed she’d spent $70,000 trying to remove facial parasites.

The reality star said she’d undergone “every test under the sun” to determine the root of her ongoing facial swelling and speech difficulty, which made it impossible for her to work for the past two years.

Glanville subsequently clarified that her doctors were not able to identify what caused these parasites, though she suspected it may have been related to her trip to Morocco for The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in January 2023.

“We had food sitting out for hours on end and some of it was meat. In Morocco,” she told ET in December. “Six months after I got back from Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing, it started in July and we’re still here trying to figure it out.”

Additionally, Glanville blamed the emotional duress she endured following UGT filming in 2023, when she and costar Caroline Manzo left early due to Glanville allegedly kissing Manzo multiple times without her consent.

Bravo and Shed Media, the company that produces UGT, said an internal investigation into the alleged incident had been conducted. Manzo, 63, filed a lawsuit against Bravo and its production companies in January 2024 over the alleged “traumatic” encounter with Glanville.

During her appearance on the “Misspelling” podcast, Glanville insisted that “all [her] jobs” were “canceled” in the wake of the UGT scandal.

“It went from ‘gave her a lap dance’ to ‘kissed her unwantingly’ to ‘sexually harrassed her’ and then to rape,” Glanville said. “I was supposed to go to Australia after [UGT]. I had all these jobs lined up, and everything was canceled. I’m like, ‘Just wait for the show to air at least, like, come on.’”

Bravo and Peacock have yet to air Glanville’s season of UGT and there has been no indication an air date is forthcoming. Glanville previously told Us Weekly she wanted the season — which also features Camille Grammer, Alex McCord, Gretchen Rossi, Phaedra Parks, Vicki Gunvalson and Eva Marcille — to air so people could reach their own conclusions.

Glanville acknowledged in her “Misspelling” appearance that she contemplated “suicide” because she was being called “horrible things” for six months after UGT wrapped production.

“It’s ruined my life,” she added.
