Brandi Glanville Was Having ‘Dark Thoughts’ Amid Health Battle, Couldn’t ‘Put That Trauma’ on Her Sons (Exclusive)

Brandi Glanville was contemplating the unimaginable while dealing with a grueling health battle.

As In Touch previously reported, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 53, told the Daily Enquirer — a newsletter brought to you by the editors of the National Enquirer — that she privately underwent life-saving surgery on Tuesday, February 3, to remove her breast implants after it was discovered that they were ruptured and leaking, with the silicone clogging her lymph nodes. The condition was so dire, she says, that it was something that could have killed her if she hadn’t discovered it in time.

According to Glanville — who was also dealing with a facial parasite that she contracted while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco — the ordeal pushed her to be on the brink.
