Brandi Glanville is working with infectious disease doctor Michael Scoma to deal with the persistent issues in her face. ET’s Rachel Smith sat down with the former ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star just after she underwent a procedure to have a PICC line installed so she can began a three-month antibiotic treatment in hopes of clearing up a mystery illness that’s left her face disfigured for nearly three years, once thought to be a parasite. It all began after filming a yet-to-air season of ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ in Morocco, on which ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star Caroline Manzo accused Brandi of sexual misconduct, which she denies. Brandi claims she hasn’t been able to find work since the allegation surfaced, spending more than $100K of her own savings to find a cure and going into debt to stay afloat without a job. She’s awaiting mediation in her legal battle with NBCUniversal/Bravo and working with Rachel Strauss, an advocate for people with medical debt, to hopefully recoup some of her losses and avoid bankruptcy.
