Brandi Glanville Praises Kyle Richards and Fellow Housewives for GoFundMe Support

Brandi Glanville has expressed her appreciation for the support she has received from her fellow "Real Housewives" stars, particularly Kyle Richards, who contributed to a GoFundMe campaign established to help cover her medical expenses. Glanville, who was recently eliminated from "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," spoke about the "sisterhood" among the housewives in an interview with Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea."

"They ride for me. And I’d do the same for them, for sure," Glanville said. She highlighted Richards' $500 donation as particularly meaningful, noting their shared history on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Glanville recalled that Richards allowed her to leave her son with her for babysitting when she was first starting on "RHOBH." "I think that she understands what I’m going through," Glanville added.

Other "Real Housewives" alumnae and cast members also contributed to the campaign. Leah McSweeney from "RHONY," Heather Gay from "RHOSLC," and Vicki Gunvalson from "RHOC" each donated $500. Eileen Davidson and Camille Grammer, both former "RHOBH" stars, donated $300 and $200, respectively, while Claudia Jordan from "RHOA" contributed $100.

Surprisingly, even George Santos, Glanville's co-star on "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," donated $500 to the fund. Glanville admitted that she finds it difficult to look at the GoFundMe page due to the anxiety it causes but relies on her manager for updates.

"My ultimate goal is to just get better and pay that all back and walk away and just be happy," she stated. Glanville previously shared on her "Unfiltered" podcast that she felt embarrassed about needing to ask for help, especially with medical bills for her facial disfigurement reportedly reaching $7,000 per week.

As of the publication of this article, the GoFundMe has raised $22,025 of its $28,000 goal. Glanville, who first spoke about her condition in 2024, recently revealed a series of diagnoses including highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever), Demodex dermatitis, and mononucleosis. Medical professionals also found a fungal ball in her face that requires removal.

Glanville has previously attributed her health issues to the stress of working with Bravo and, at one point, a facial parasite believed to be caused by a ruptured breast implant. She also disclosed in June that she had been diagnosed with a benign facial tumor. New episodes of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" air on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
