The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville recently went to urgent care with an ear full of garlic.
“It was Easter and I got a piece of garlic stuck in my ear,” Glanville, 53, said during the Thursday, April 9, episode of her “Unfiltered” podcast. She explained that her and ex-husband Eddie Cibrian’s 18-year-old son, Jake, gave her a cold, while their 22-year-old son, Mason, recommended an alleged health hack that uses garlic to clear the sinuses.
“Listen, Mason also said when he had a cold, he put it in his nostril and it helped him,” Glanville continued. “I tried my nostril, it was burning too much, so I moved it to my ear. It was, like, burning my skin ’cause I just lasered it.”
Glanville ran into trouble when she later couldn’t get the garlic out of her ear.
“On Easter, I didn’t do anything because of my garlic in my ear,” she said. “Every time I tried to get it out, it really went down further. And I had to go to urgent care the next day and get it taken out.”
Glanville added, “I was just trying to clear my sinuses. It’s online. Don’t listen to people online or TikTok or Instagram or Twitter or Facebook.”
The reality TV personality concluded, “I have garlic in my brain now.”
Glanville has been open about her health struggles through the years, including an ongoing battle with an infection on her face that began in 2023. She said the infection was caused by a facial parasite and recently claimed that the parasite developed from her breast implants rupturing.
“I definitely had a parasite. I was shocked because, I mean, honestly, my implants, I’ve had for 20 years almost,” she told TMZ in February. “They looked fine, they felt fine, the mammogram said they were fine. It wasn’t until I had a sonogram … there is such a thing as breast implant illness. You really should change your breast implants out at 10 years. I just didn’t do it. I’m like, ‘[If] it’s not broke, don’t fix it.’ I learned a really, really hard lesson.”
Glanville continued, “[My breasts] completely ruptured, and I had silicone all over my lymph nodes, and that’s what caused the infection in my face, and [it] couldn’t get out because my lymph nodes were all clogged.”
Glanville added that she started feeling better after her doctor took her implants out.
“I feel great. He’s like, ‘Rest.’ I’m like, ‘I can’t rest. I’ve been home for three years,’” she quipped.
Glanville ended her story with a warning to others who have breast implants.
“I’m not saying don’t do it,” she said. “Everyone, just do it and make sure you stay on top of it. … Keep on checking on it. Even if it looks good and feels good, check ’em.”
