Brandi Glanville, 53, and Dr. Ariel Ourian, who recently performed the removal of her 20-year-old ruptured breast implants, are currently in the middle of tracking down an online hacker who not only impersonated Glanville but also demanded thousands of dollars from her, TMZ reported.
According to TMZ, a rep from Glanville filed two reports with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a division within the FBI that directly handles online criminal activity, after she and Dr. Ourian were roped into suspicious online activity.
Hacker Impersonates Brandi Glanville
GettyIn one of Glanville’s FBI filings, she claimed Dr. Ourian received a text message from a number with a Michigan area code. Within that text, the sender posed as Glanville as they thanked him for completing a successful breast implant surgery in February.
“Hey Dr. Ourian, it’s Brandi Glanville! Hope you dont mine me messaging you, but two weeks out and I feel sooo much better! I was sooo nervous prior to the procedure! You have been like an answer to my prayers! Can’t thank you enough! Hi!” the text said, according to TMZ.
The former “RHOBH” star also noted that her doctor responded to the text message, saying he had Glanville saved in his phone under a different number. The sender then responded to Dr. Ourian, “Yes! When w/a different carrier over the weekend and this is my new number.”
Within the legal filings, it was also stated that Glanville received an email from someone who claimed to have her passwords, banking information and personal contacts.
The unknown sender went on to demand $7,500 in Bitcoin. If their demand was not met, they told the former Bravo star that they would “wreak havoc.”
Brandi Glanville’s Credit Cards Used by Someone in Ukraine
At the time of receiving the Bitcoin demand, Glanville deleted it after reading, according to the report filed.
TMZ stated that sources close to Glanville informed them that the “Real Housewives” alum didn’t think much of the mysterious email because she had been consumed in dealing with her health after a 2023 bacterial infection in her face led to additional wellness issues, People reported.
Although Glanville thought the email was harmless upon receiving it, her stance on the email that was directly sent to her — as well as the text to her doctor — quickly changed when she found out that several of her credit cards had been used by someone in the Ukraine.
TMZ reported that Glanville is urgently working with her bank to resolve the issue.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Brandi is behind all this.
That’s not nice. She is suffering 😒
I feel sorry for her. She’s been through quite a bit the few years with her health. Aside from herpersona on TV she’s not a bad person. So we all should give her some slack and pray for her. JESUS can change anyone who wants to have a personal relationship with him. His door is always open for salvation. My prayers are with her. And hopefully some day she will come to our Lord and Savior Jesus 🙏 ❤️
