She Dropped "Sexually Transmitted Ringworm" Like It Was a Brunch Story. It Was Not.
Brandi Glanville went on her podcast and casually described a fungal nightmare. The RHOBH reunion served actual chaos. And Dancing With the Stars just announced a whole-ass convention. Buckle up.
🚨 This week's most unhinged confession: Brandi Glanville's new disease
On the May 21 episode of Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville told listeners — in full detail — that she believes she contracted "sexually transmitted ringworm" from someone in the adult film industry.
"I knew nothing about it... Apparently, you can see them when it's on the outside of your skin, but they can burrow in like if it's in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that."
She said her date "only touched her face" because he was worried about pregnancy — not knowing she couldn't conceive. A friend apparently had to explain what STR even was after she tested negative for everything else. Former adult performer Lisa Ann, also on the podcast, confirmed ringworm is so common in the industry that makeup artists were trained to inspect new talent in a window with good light before shoots.
Brandi Glanville. Podcast. Sexually transmitted ringworm. On the first Tuesday after Memorial Day. No notes. 1

📺 RHOBH Season 15 reunion: manifesting, memoir tours, and Rihanna
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion is still generating aftershocks. Here's the damage report:
Bozoma Saint John vs. Amanda Frances: Boz addressed the drama on social media this week, questioning why Amanda's husband "hasn't manifested more money" — a read so precise it broke the timeline. Amanda Frances built her brand around money manifestation coaching, making Boz's jab land with surgical brutality. 2
Rihanna entered the chat: Page Six reported this week that Rihanna personally begged a RHOBH star not to quit the show after exit rumors began circulating. Which cast member? No official confirmation yet — but Reddit is burning. 3
Dorit is not done: Kemsley told Bravo she and Erika Jayne have exchanged messages since the reunion and she's "hopeful" about their friendship. She's also launching a nationwide book tour for her memoir Unburdened — because when your marriage implodes on national TV, you write a book. 4 5
