Check out the post-disfigurement glow-up!

Since 2024, a facial disfigurement has upended Brandi Glanville’s life.

It was painful. It was embarrassing. And it was also a medical mystery that put her into debt.

Only recently did she receive a diagnosis. And now she’s sporting a new look.

New face, same Brandi?

On Sunday, January 25, the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared some big news.

In an Instagram post, Brandi shared her new look ahead of an upcoming public appearance.

“Thank you Dr. Nicholas Nikolov the amazing CellSound and for preparing me for The Sundance Film festival,” she wrote in the caption.

Brandi expressed that she was “looking forward PBM Princess movie event at Kemo Sabe.”

As you can see, she also included a photo.

A post shared by Brandi Glanville (@brandiglanville)

In the snap, the 53-year-old Bravolebrity is sporting a fully made up face, including a glossy lip.

Her hair is freshly curled.

Brandi went on to attend the Sundance Film Festival, walking the red carpet before attending a Side Effect May Include special screening.

This look is only a little different from her classic facial appearance.

However, Brandi’s face has appeared radically different over the past couple of years.

This painful saga seems to be over

In July of 2024, Brandi began to develop unexplained facial swelling.

At first, she blamed stress — as that was a stressful time for her, both personally and professionally.

For months, she searched for an explanation.

Brandi needed a diagnosis and a cure.

Instead, she only heard theories — ranging from a parasite to botched cosmetic work — as her face began to wrinkle and sag.

Over the course of trying to combat this medical mystery, Brandi spent a lot of money.

(Healthcare is horrifically expensive in our broken system, and yes, even successful reality TV personalities can fall victim to it)

She lost teeth due to damage from a mysterious leakage that “ate away” at her teeth.

Brandi underwent numerous biopsies. Her life became a long and tragically realistic version episode of House.

Finally, late last year, she received a diagnosis.

Why hasn’t she shared the answer to the medical mystery?

In December 2025, Brandi revealed that she finally knew what was eating her — literally.

However, she has chosen to not share what it was.

Maybe it’s embarrassing. Critics especially have latched onto this theory.

Or maybe it’s a matter of some litigation and she cannot discuss it in public. (Please, always heed your attorney’s advice on these matters)

Now, she’s slowly but surely “coming back to life,” returning to her routine.

Erika Kirk kicked off her 30-city Make Heaven Crowded Tour in Los Angeles last week.

And her latest media blitz is attracting controversy for a number of reasons (not the least of which is that many would like to see Erika spend more time with her kids in the wake of their father’s brutal murder).

The latest criticism has to do with Erika’s decision to be joined on stage by Pastor Greg Laurie.

Laurie, the pastor at Harvest Church in Riverside, California, is being sued in connection with child abuse and trafficking allegations against a former pastor named Paul Havsgaard.

Havsgaard ran church-supported children’s homes from 1998 to 2008, and accusers claim that Laurie and other church officials overlooked clear signs of abuse and misconduct.

Not surprisingly, many observers are wondering why Kirk would choose to associate herself with a man who’s involved in such a scandalous legal situation.

“This is very disturbing. What’s more crazy is the crowd is full. Who would pay to see this?” one social media commenter asked, according to Yahoo! News.

“Kirk will be turning in his grave with this corruption by his wife and family! Despicable,” another person wrote.

“This isn’t Charlie’s Turning Point. Ericka is not doing what Charlie would do, ugh,” a third chimed in.

“Anyone claiming to be a Christian and supporting this is not a Christian,” a fourth added.

Others defended Kirk, pointing out that Laurie may not have known about the abuse allegedly perpetrated by Havsgaard.

“Someone who once worked with HCF is accused of sexual misconduct, and HCF is sued as his employer. To implicate HCF in this conduct would be like implicating the Catholic Church for the misdeeds of one priest,” wrote one defender.

“Serious accusation. Post the case numbers, filings, and actual evidence, or this is just slander bait,” another added.

Clearly, this situation has ignited some heated discourse — but don’t expect Erica to weigh in anytime soon.

In a recent interview with Fox News, she revealed that she does not intend to respond to her critics on this or any other issue.

“If myself or Charlie spent every single second responding to every accusation, responding to every insult, every judgment, we’d get nothing done,” Kirk remarked (via Yahoo!), adding that she’s grateful for her haters all the same:

“I’m not gonna ask God to remove those people from life. It just makes me stronger.”

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
