Reality TV star says she has contracted ‘sexually transmitted ringworm’ in her throat

For some unknown reason, celebrities are more willing than ever to share the intimate details of their sex lives online.

While paparazzi and journalists used to hide away in the hope of snapping a blurry picture of a famous person's new partner, now we get to hear it straight from the horse's mouth thanks to nearly everyone in the world having a podcast.

In recent months alone, we've heard about Nikki Glaser's hot-husband fetish with her long-term partner, while Rebel Wilson has also been very honest about when and with whom she lost her virginity.

And Brandi Glanville, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is the latest to over-share about her sexual health, suggesting that she has contracted 'sexually transmitted ringworm' in her throat.

The infection usually shows up on our skin when we have sexual contact with someone who is also infected, while sharing sex toys can also be a culprit.

However, Glanville reckons she's picked up the fungal infection in her throat after dating someone from the adult industry. She was speaking with retired porn star Lisa Ann on her own podcast, Brandi Unfiltered, when she said:

“Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm? I feel like I have it… in my throat.”

Ann, 54, noted: “It’s one of these things that most people don’t know what to look for. We had to train our makeup artists that when a new member of talent would show up, they would have to get naked in a window where there’s good light and they would inspect their body to see if they see any patches because it’s incredibly contagious.”

Glanville admitted that her boyfriend would finish on her face and in her mouth because he didn't want to get her pregnant, even though 'that ship has sailed', which is frankly far too much information to admit publicly.

And that's seemingly what led to her concerns, with doctors already ruling out some more common sexually transmitted infections.

It's only the latest in a long line of recent health struggles for the former model, who has been documenting her search for the cause of a swelling on a face for well over a year.

However, it seems as if she was finally able to find the culprit back in February as she admitted to TMZ that she 'definitely had a parasite' which had led to the facial disfigurement, and it seems as if that parasite was caused by her breast implants rupturing after nearly two decades of use.

“I was shocked, because they’re implants that I’ve had for almost 20 years, they looked fine, they felt fine, the mammogram said they were fine, it wasn’t until I had a sonogram,” she told the outlet. “I was like, ‘Maybe just check that too, why not?’”
