Brandi Glanville sparks concern amid face parasite crisis as she parties through the pain

Brandi Glanville sparked concern as she partied the night away at the Hood Bar & Pizza in Palm Desert, California amid her battle with facial disfigurement.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 52, was joined by The Bachelor star Erica Rose, 41, and pal Adriane Schwartz at the dive bar, as they watched 'Lady' Sham Ibrahim, who appeared on MTV Catfish last season, perform her Drag Queen Bingo show earlier this week.

A source told DailyMail.com the ladies drank martinis and that Brandi was the 'life of the party' and 'kept jumping on stage, twerking, taking selfies with guests.'

Brandi — who recently gave a horrific update on her 'melting face' — 'stayed all night until the end of the show.'

One snap shared to Ibrahim's page showed the reality TV star licking her face. 

After winning the third round of Bingo, Lady Sham presented Brandi with a Marilyn Monroe portrait, and told her onstage that she 'is a gorgeous supermodel in the category of Marilyn Monroe.' 

Brandi was referred to as 'Jennifer' by Lady Sham, who wanted to protect her anonymity and didn't want her to get 'overwhelmed.' 

However, the source added that 'everyone recognized her anyway and wanted selfies.' 

In other photos and videos shared to Ibrahim's Instagram, Brandi was pictured in a skimpy romper enjoying her time onstage as she accepted the painting of Marilyn. 

Brandi put on a happy appearance despite recently giving a shocking health update on her facial disfigurement, for which she's spent over $70K and had five consultations with plastic surgeons to fix.

'I have painful lumps - one in jaw bone area [and] one on side of neck [and] one in back of neck,' the star tweeted.

'I have chills and a constant oily foul-tasting drainage from face into mouth. It's acidic [and] is eating away at my teeth. Plus all of my lymph nodes in head [and] neck are swollen. Doctors at Kaiser [Permanente] say I'm fine. Help me!'

This, two days after Brandi revealed she'd been 'faking it' with her seemingly happy demeanor and she's actually been 'f***ing miserable.'

'My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away,' Glanville tweeted.

In January, Botched star Terry DuBrow took 'four tiny biopsies' from the Unfiltered podcaster's face and neck after steroids, antibiotics, and antiviral medication failed to help her.

When X user @caren_0809 asked about Brandi's biopsy report last Thursday, she replied: 'No cancer but the cultures take six weeks to grow so no news yet but [fingers crossed].'

On December 12, the 66-year-old plastic surgeon informed Glanville through TMZ that her disfigurement was not the result of a 'parasite' but a 'foreign-body reaction to something she had injected' and it would take five years to fully recover.

'Five years is way too long for me to wait,' the Traitors contestant scoffed on her podcast at the time. 

'I have s*** to do. I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October [2023]. I haven't kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven't socialized, really.'

Late last month in February, Brandi was seen using a small red light device on her face amidst filming her Unfiltered podcast with co-host James Maas.

She was seen rolling the device on her neck while talking as red lights shone on to her skin. It is not known what the device is or what it is used for.

However, Brandi did reveal that her use of the red light device is relating to her mystery skin condition during a recent Instagram Live.

When a fan asked her if the 'worm' was gone, after she said it could be an infection or parasite, she replied: 'The worm is not gone, that is why I'm using this [device].'

During her latest podcast episode, she also told how she 'really needs' the device and has to give it back soon.

Late last year in December, Brandi appeared on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast and admitted that she has been suffering from 'deep depression' amid her battle with the mysterious skin condition.

'The pain is more mental than anything, because I have been hiding and going through a deep, deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this point, I couldn't. So it's just been a really rough two years for me.'

She added at the time that she was also on antibiotics - which she had briefly stopped and caused the skin on her face to 'sink in.'

Glanville said, 'I prefer [my face] when it's a little swollen, to be honest. When it's only swollen on one side, it's not great. But the sinking in thing is killing me slowly, because I just feel like I look like a crackhead.'

The TV personality said that she sometimes will wear a 'mask' around her sons and explained, 'They would try and calm me down and say I look normal and fine, but I knew better.

'I honestly scared them a couple times. They were like, "What is happening?" [My face] went from being like really fat and swollen to now, like, sinking in.'

Brandi added that she wants to know what is causing her facial disfigurement 'so desperately.'

She said, 'You could do anything you want to me, and I'd be okay with it. I've had days of looking normal, not weeks. I wish. But it comes and goes.' 

She then stated, 'Whenever I get the chills, it's generally an infection.'

'Then I start having the ticking in my ear, and then whatever's in my face, moving around, started moving around again. And it starts sinking in again.'

Since revealing her health struggles, Glanville has slowly returned to the spotlight, recently appearing at a Los Angeles pool party in a pink bikini.
