Brandi Glanville suffers facial burns after Nair experiment goes awry
In a short video posted to TikTok on Sunday, Glanville, 52, said that she decided to use Nair to try to eradicate the parasite. However, the popular hair removal product aggravated her skin, leaving her with apparent chemical burns.
'I know I look attractive,' she joked. 'Good news, you don't have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore.'
During the clip, she referred to the parasite as 'Caroline,' a possible reference to her 'Real Housewives' rival Caroline Manzo. In January 2023, Manzo accused Glanville of sexual assault during filming. This led to both of them departing the Morocco set of 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.' That was also where Glanville previously said she might have contracted the parasite.
Glanville has denied all claims Manzo has made against her, calling them absurd, Page Six reports.
In her TikTok video, Glanville claims the Nair successfully moved the parasite ('Caroline') to a different part of her face upon application.
'Nair is the fountain of youth, I figured it out,' she said. 'But I overdid it … seven minutes, don't do it.'
The first time Glanville shared information regarding the parasite, she claimed that she had consulted 'every doctor under the sun' but to no avail. The mysterious condition was said to have left her with frequent facial swelling and missing teeth.
She told ET in December 2024 that she'd suspected a parasite had made its way into her system after the filming in Morocco.
'We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat,' she said, adding that medical complications began six months later.
Glanville claimed that she had since spent more than $70,000 on noninvasive procedures to pinpoint exactly what was going on. Notably, she was on IV antibiotics that alleviated swelling but proved to be too expensive.
'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize. I don't go out,' she said at the time.

Meghan Markle Under Pressure as New Wine Launches: 'Credibility Issues'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle is preparing for the release of he second rosé wine after past sell out runs caused what an expert told Newsweek were "catastrophic credibility issues." The Duchess of Sussex is preparing to launch her As Ever 2024 Rosé after the 2023 vintage sold out its whole run in minutes. Her latest offering will go on sale at 12pm PT and 3pm ET and can be bought from her online shop. Meghan Markle is seen at a royal engagement in Asni, Morocco, on February 24, 2019. Meghan Markle is seen at a royal engagement in Asni, Morocco, on February 24, 2019. Pool/Samir Hussein/WireImage Why It Matters This will be Meghan's fourth product run and all have so far sold out in minutes, sparking concerns that customers interested in her products may get frustrated and lose interest. At the same time, detractors have argued she is only offering limited stock and with no official sales figures available it is not possible to verify the size of each batch of goods. What to Know Eric Schiffer, chair of Reputation Management Consultants, told Newsweek thatMeghan needs to move past the sell out runs in order to build an authentic relationship with her customers. "These product sales are creating catastrophic credibility issues because it all looks like it's manufactured to sell out. "So, it's like these kids on a corner who open a lemonade stand and they have one glass of lemonade, OK you were successful but no one believes it. "She's doubling down on scarcity theater. They already have credibility issues so why set things up to look fake. Roll the dice. Be a real entrepreneur." A Sussex source has previously told Newsweek the talk on social media about Meghan's product launches being deliberately small is "just complete nonsense." After the first wine's release the source said "there's still a level of frustration," that it sold out so fast but the number of bottles "was significant." "It's quite extraordinary really how it's sold out," they added. "We thought it would sell out but for it to happen so quickly again is testament to the popularity of the brand and the duchess in the U.S." Meghan previously told the Aprire With Emma Grede podcast in June: "Well, we can restock what we had at those same quantities but then I'll have another sell out and I don't want that for people. "I think scarcity is great if it happens organically at the onset but at a certain point, even being consumer-minded, I would be fatigued if that kept happening and I was going to a website. "So I said, 'OK, let's take this opportunity to grow, to have exponentially more skews as well as more inventory.' "And that's what we've been doing right back to making sure we could scale up to that level and have the quality meet the quantity which was very key." What As Ever Said About New Rosé Wine Meghan's As Ever brand announced the new wine in a newsletter on August 4, her birthday: "Today, our founder celebrates another year (Happy Birthday, Meghan!) and tomorrow, we're raising a glass to celebrate our newest release! "We are thrilled to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé is available tomorrow, Tuesday August 5 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. "Harvested under the California sun, this dazzling vintage embodies everything we love – it's where timeless elegance meets the spirit of summer. "We've worked thoughtfully to bring these exceptional bottles to you, and more of your other favorite As ever products are also being restocked shortly. There is so much to celebrate, and we're honored to share these special moments with you. "Cheers to birthdays, a new vintage, and the last golden weeks of summer."

Is an AI backlash brewing? What 'clanker' says about growing frustrations with emerging tech
It's a slur for the AI age. 'Clanker,' a word that traces back to a Star Wars video game, has emerged in recent weeks as the internet's favorite epithet for any kind of technology looking to replace humans. On TikTok, people harass robots in stores and on sidewalks with it. Search interest for the term has spiked. On X, Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., used the term last week to tout a new piece of legislation. 'Sick of yelling 'REPRESENTATIVE' into the phone 10 times just to talk to a human being?,' he posted on X. 'My new bill makes sure you don't have to talk to a clanker if you don't want to.' In one video, which has more than 6 million views on TikTok, a small, four-wheeled delivery robot gets berated with the word. 'It makes me sick just seeing a...' Nic, a 19-year-old student and aspiring content creator in Miami Beach who posted the video, says as it approached, adding: 'Clanker!' A slur is generally defined as a word or phrase meant to denigrate a person based on their membership to a particular group such as a race, gender or religion — one that goes beyond rudeness into overt bigotry. They are almost always directed at people. 'Clanker' appears to have peeked into the internet's lexicon starting in early June, with Google Trends data showing a sudden uptick in search interest. An entry on a website dedicated to documenting the varied weirdness of the internet, traced the term back to the 2010s, when Star Wars communities adopted it from its use in various Star Wars shows to refer to battle robots. Other pieces of science fiction also predicted the rise of slurs for machines, most notably 'Blade Runner,' with 'skinjob' to refer to highly advanced, humanlike robots. But there's a catch. By using a slur in a way that would typically apply to a human, people are also elevating the technology, offering some sense that people both want to put down the machines and recognize their ascension in society. Adam Aleksic, a linguist who is also a content creator focused on how the internet is shaping language, said he first noticed the emergence of 'clanker' a couple of weeks ago. Its use mirrored classic slurs related to racial tropes and appeared to emerge out of a growing 'cultural need' related to growing unease with where advanced technology is heading. In one video — somewhat ironically appearing to have been created by AI — a man berates his daughter during a family dinner for dating 'a goddamned clanker,' before his wife steps in and apologizes to the robot. 'What we're doing is we're anthropomorphizing and personifying and simplifying the concept of an AI, reducing it into an analogy of a human and kind of playing into the same tropes,' Aleksic said. 'Naturally, when we trend in that direction, it does play into those tropes of how people have treated marginalized communities before.' The use of 'clanker' is rising as people are more often encountering AI and robots in their daily lives, something that is only expected to continue in the coming years. The steady expansion of Waymo's driverless cars across U.S. cities has also come with some human-inflicted bumps and bruises for the vehicles along the way. Food delivery bots are an increasingly common sight on sidewalks. In the virtual world, cybersecurity firms continue to warn about the proliferation of bots on the web that comprise a growing share of all web traffic — including as many as one in five social media accounts. The anti-machine backlash has long been simmering but is now seemingly breaking to the surface. A global report by Gartner research group found that 64% of customers would prefer that companies didn't use AI for customer service — with another 53% stating they would consider switching to a competitor if they found out a company was doing so. People are becoming more worried about AI taking their job s, even though evidence of actual AI-related job losses is relatively scant. 'Clanker' is also not the first pejorative term for something related to AI to have spread across the internet. 'Slop' as a catchall term for AI-generated content that is of low quality or obviously created by AI — such as 'shrimp Jesus' — entered internet parlance last year and has since become widely used. Other anti-AI terms that have emerged include 'tin skin' and 'toaster,' a term that traces back to the science fiction show Battlestar Galactica. And there's even some pushback — joking and serious — about whether such slurs should be used. In a Reddit community for Black women, a post about 'clanker' offered some sense of the tension: 'And I know it's probably a joke in all from social media, but I can't help but feel like it's incredibly tasteless.' Others have noted that some of the enthusiastic embrace of 'clanker' feels more about being able to throw around a slur rather than any deeper issue with technology. Nic, whose TikTok video helped spark the 'clanker' phenomenon, said he sees both why people have taken to the phrase as well as why some find it problematic. Nic, who asked to withhold his last name out of privacy concerns, said he did sense some people were using the word as a stand-in for a racial epithet. Still, Nic, who is Black, said he saw the term more broadly as a lighthearted way to express a growing anxiety with where technology is headed, particularly as it pertains to the future of employment. 'I see it as being a push back against AI,' he said. 'A lot of lives are being changed because of robots ... and me personally I see it as a stupid way of fighting, but there's a little truth to it, as well.'
