“Brandi is in so much pain. She’s got a very large parasite,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum shared on the Friday episode of SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live.”

When asked whether she believed Glanville picked up the parasite during their “Ultimate Girls Trip” to Morocco, Gunvalson answered, “100 percent.”

“We all got sick when we went to Morocco. It’s been four years and Brandi’s face — she’s got a parasite. It moves. It goes into her mouth. It’s bad,” the 63-year-old reality TV star added, though we must note that the Morocco season filmed in January 2023 — not four years ago, as Gunvalson suggested.

The episodes never aired due to an on-camera incident between Glanville and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Caroline Manzo.

As Gunvalson detailed her health symptoms since returning from Morocco, she claimed she has not been “the same” and explained her “stomach’s bloated, I don’t feel good. I feel tired.”

“Where I’m at now is like, ‘Why do I always feel sluggish?’” she shared.

“I don’t go poop. Like, it’s very hard for me. It might be once a week, if that. It’s a pellet that comes out. That’s it.”

Gunvalson began her “three times a week” colonics treatment after she started taking medicines like “Duralax” and “Metamucil old lady stuff” to address the issue. It was there that she was told her “gut” is “loaded with parasites.”

She also revealed that she takes Ivermectin “twice a month” to kill the parasites.

Glanville, 52, has been open about her recent health issues since she contracted a mysterious facial parasite that has deformed several features on her face.

In April, she told Us Weekly, “I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point. I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole.”

Glanville’s problems appeared to worsen later that month, as she revealed she had to make another emergency trip to the hospital over her mystery illness.

“My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum posted via X Tuesday, revealing her latest health struggles.

“I called 911 had a lovely trip in the ambulance now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.”

Glanville previously claimed she, too, may have contracted her parasite from her time in Morocco, North Africa.

A rep for Bravo did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
