Brandi Glanville’s TikTok Hack Backfires: Urgent Care Visit

Brandi Glanville trusted the wrong corner of the internet — and ended up in urgent care because of it. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star confessed on her “Unfiltered” podcast that she fell for a viral TikTok home remedy and shoved a clove of garlic in her ear. Yes, really.

According to Brandi, the internet promised the garlic would cure everything from ear infections to basically whatever ails you. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Instead, she got stuck with garlic lodged in her ear canal and a very real trip to urgent care to have medical professionals fish it out.

“I was like, this TikTok said it would help,” Brandi explained on the podcast, laughing at herself — though you can bet the urgent care bill wasn’t quite as funny. She didn’t hold back about how ridiculous the whole situation was, but honestly, the damage was already done.

This isn’t exactly the health crisis we expected from Brandi in 2026, but it’s peak her energy — taking viral trends a little too literally and living to regret it. At least she’s got a good story out of it for the podcast.
