Brandi Glanville‘s latest selfie is causing a stir — but not the good kind.
After the 50-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to her Instagram page on Thursday to share an image of herself with bright red lipstick, no lashes, and what appeared to be red lingerie, fans on Reddit deemed her unrecognizable as they wondered if she is “okay.”
“Longest day ever!! Lashes off packing for Vegas to celebrate my love [Tommy-William Echaves] birthday … see y’all soon,” Brandi wrote in the caption of her June 30 photo.
Although Brandi quickly turned off the comments to her post, the image continues to circulate on social media.
“Brandi… is she okay?” someone asked as they shared the image on Reddit.
“Oh my gosh what in the hell is going on?” wondered another fan.
As the post garnered tons of reactions, most of which were negative, many took aim at the fillers and Botox that Brandi has gotten over the years.
“She has aged herself horrifically with all these fillers or whatever she’s got done,” one commenter wrote. “She was gorgeous when she was on RHOBH, and if she’d just allowed herself to age naturally (albeit with some nips and tucks here and there), she would’ve looked amazing now.”
“I have said this about aging women in Hollywood and reality TV for years now! The Botox and fillers are beyond out of control… it’s terrifying!” another person agreed.
Meanwhile, others said Brandi seems to be suffering from some sort of dysmorphia and even accused her of using the diabetes drug RHOC-emily-simpson-admits-using-ozempic-for-1-month-and-opens-up-about-weight-loss-plus-she-discusses-liposuction-and-a-breast-reduction/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Ozempic to lose weight.
“Ok, RHOC-star-denies-allegations-claps-back-at-fans-see-emilys-weight-loss-pic/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>lay off the [Ozempic],” someone advised.
“She literally looks like [a skull emoji],” another replied.
Overall, commenters seemed to believe that when it comes to Brandi, she looked much better when her face was natural.
“She was such a beautiful woman who destroyed her face with fillers and Botox. I don’t know why women feel the need to do this,” one Redditor complained.
“She has clearly gone overboard,” said another. “Not just on filler and Botox (I get both, but it is subtly done) she had a bad nose job and the lip fillers are out of control. I agree, she was one of, if not, the most beautiful [RHOBH cast members] when she was on the show.”
In recent years, Brandi has faced what she refers to as “bullying” over her looks. Back in 2021, after she was accused of having plastic surgery, she explained on Twitter that after a painful accident involving a psoriasis light, she was left with swelling and burns.
“Having people attack my looks just makes me feel like I never wanna leave my house, and I just want to cry,” she said at the time.
Then, one year later, after her jawline was perceived as disfigured, Brandi once again denied plastic surgery rumors.
“I’m saying this once,” she wrote. “I had periodontal (gum) surgery on the right side of my mouth on my back right side because I had a cavity below the gum line. It is infected and swollen I am on my second round of antibiotics and when I do get plastic surgery, I will be the first to say.”
