TV personality BRANDI GLANVILLE reveals she contracted "s3xually transmitted ringworm" from a former romantic partner

Monday, May 25, 2026 -Reality TV personality Brandi Glanville has opened up about another health scare, claiming she may have contracted ringworm from a former partner connected to the adult film industry.

Speaking on her podcast, “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered with James Maas”, Glanville discussed the issue with former adult film star Lisa Ann, asking whether she had heard of “s3xually transmitted ringworm.”

Lisa Ann responded that fungal infections can spread easily through close physical contact and said it had been a known concern within the adult entertainment industry because of how contagious ringworm can be. Glanville said she had previously dated a man involved in the adult film world and now believes she may have developed the infection in her throat, though she did not provide medical confirmation of the condition.

The former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star went on to discuss the issue in more detail during the podcast episode. Glanville has publicly spoken about several health problems in recent years, including complications linked to ruptured breast implants, which she said caused silicone to leak into her lymph nodes and contributed to facial disfigurement.

Ringworm is a common fungal infection that can spread through skin-to-skin contact, contaminated surfaces, animals or shared personal items. Despite its name, it is not caused by a worm. Health experts advise anyone experiencing symptoms such as rashes, itching or irritation to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
