Brandi Glanville’s health battle sparked an unexpected Bravo reunion, with Housewives stepping up financially. Several former co-stars donated to her GoFundMe after years of unexplained medical problems.
The fundraiser aimed to cover treatment costs linked to multiple diagnoses affecting Glanville. She admitted asking for help felt humiliating, but her medical expenses had pushed her toward crowdfunding.

TMZ reported that Glanville’s GoFundMe had raised about $7,000 toward its $28,000 goal. Kyle Richards contributed $500, while Claudia Jordan and longtime friend James Maas each donated $100. Camille Grammer, who starred alongside Glanville on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, gave $200. She also explained why she decided to contribute despite their complicated history.
“I remember when she sent me flowers when I had my hysterectomy for uterine cancer,” Grammer told TMZ. “I wanted to return the favor, and I feel bad for what she’s going through.” The pair had clashed during Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. Grammer acknowledged they were not particularly close, yet she still wanted to help.
Gina Rodriguez, another longtime friend, created the fundraiser earlier that week. She said doctors had discovered a fungal ball in Glanville’s face that required removal. Glanville later discussed the fundraiser through her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. She broke down while describing the financial pressure surrounding her treatment.
“I’m embarrassed, honestly, because I don’t like to ask for help,” Glanville said. Rodriguez had told her, “You have no choice.” The treatment reportedly cost $7,000 weekly, even with insurance. Glanville said she had paid half and still owed money.
By September 14, the fundraiser had surpassed $16,000. An anonymous $1,500 contribution ranked as its largest donation at that point. Other Housewives also joined the effort. Eileen Davidson donated $300, while Vicki Gunvalson contributed $500.
Glanville had reported diagnoses including resistant bacterial infections, Valley Fever, Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis. She said she consulted 21 doctors before receiving answers. She later thanked supporters on Instagram. “I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the love and support,” she wrote, saying she still faced “a long road” ahead.
