‘Self-harming for sympathy?’: Brandi Glanville faces backlash over bizarre skincare mishap - Watch viral video

Brandi Glanville face burn: Reality TV personality Brandi Glanville has sparked widespread criticism after disclosing an unusual skincare incident. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said she applied Nair, a hair removal cream, to her face in an effort to get rid of what she believed was a facial parasite. The decision led to painful burns, which she later showcased in photos posted online. Her revelation drew mixed reactions, with many social media users questioning the authenticity of her claims and accusing her of seeking sympathy through self-inflicted harm. The episode has triggered discussions about the dangers of self-treatment and the influence of celebrities on public health behavior.



In a short TikTok video posted on Sunday, Brandi Glanville, 52, revealed that she had used Nair in an attempt to eliminate a supposed facial parasite. However, the hair removal product caused a severe reaction, resulting in what appeared to be chemical burns on her face. In the clip, she joked about her appearance, saying, “Good news, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore.”

In her TikTok video, Brandi Glanville claimed that applying Nair to her face caused the alleged parasite "Caroline" (she named it this) to shift to a different area. She jokingly referred to Nair as “the fountain of youth” but admitted to overusing it, cautioning viewers, “Seven minutes, don’t do it.”
