As RHOBH fans may have seen, Brandi confirmed she’d received a diagnosis during an interview with TMZ in December 2025 after spending over $100,000 amid a two-and-a-half-year health crisis.

“I do finally have a diagnosis, and I will be sharing that soon. I have a long road ahead of me to get fully better, but I finally have an answer, so I’m just thrilled,” Brandi revealed, admitting that the past few years have been “low.”

“I’ve turned into an introvert. Leaving my house, I get the worst anxiety because I’ve been in my house for two years … It’s gonna be a long road ahead of me, but I called my mom today, and she literally cried, because sometimes I sit down and I can’t go up, and like it’s so scary,” she added.
