Brandi Glanville lands in trouble after bizarre remedy backfires

Brandi Glanville ended up in urgent care over the Easter weekend after a bizarre home remedy went badly wrong.

The 53-year-od reality TV star revealed on her Unfiltered podcast that she was trying to fight off a cold she believes she caught from her and ex-husband Eddie Cibrian’s son, Jake.

Taking inspiration from another son, Mason, she attempted a natural garlic remedy said to help clear congestion, but things quickly spiralled out of control.

“It was Easter and I got a piece of garlic stuck in my ear,” she said, explaining she first tried placing garlic in her nostril, but quickly gave up when it started “burning too much”. 

Thinking she could still salvage the idea, she moved it into her ear instead. 

“Every time I tried to get it out, it really went down further. I had to go to urgent care the next day and get it taken out,” she admitted, adding she had recently had laser treatment, which made her skin even more sensitive than usual.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star urged fans not to believe everything they see on social media, joking that the garlic had now “gone to her brain” after the ordeal. 

She laughed off the situation but admitted it was painful and embarrassing, insisting she was only trying to clear her sinuses when things went wrong.

Brandi also reflected on her wider health struggles, revealing earlier this year that she felt she had “lost everything” after complications from ruptured breast implants and a long-running illness that she believes damaged both her confidence and career.
