Brandi Glanville is a holiday character who never fails to exhibit her ‘dancing on the table’ attitude and her latest Instagram post is no different. Once a part of the reality show ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ the actress shared a clip on her social media wherein she and her long-time friend James Maas are dancing in front of the Christmas tree while wearing a bikini. The two seem very cheerful and are not taking the decoration of the tree very seriously. The music playing is from the ‘Last Christmas’ which has a light-hearted and a little bit off-key quality to it.
The video is nothing but a raw Brandi—messy, assertive and intended to be a controversial issue. And, the video did exactly that, it caused a very strong reaction. The comment section transformed into a war zone of arguments within no time.
The bloggers’ comments on Glanville from devoted followers who always look at her positively side were plentiful. ‘I am totally fan of you diva,’ was one user’s response while another wrote ‘I am very glad that you are better Brandi you seem much happier!’ A roots of reality television nostalgia was touched by another commenter, who eloquently expressed ‘Miss you on housewives! You gave it spice.’
The other hand, the tone was completely different in some of the remarks. Glanville’s looks quickly became the focus of the comments which were very harshly judging her weight, age, clothes, and so on. ‘She is in her fifties but looks like she is 70,’ one person stated bluntly. ‘Why a bikini to decorate a tree?’ another one asked.
Criticism was pouring in and never stopped. Some comments were expressed that were caring and concerned publicly and were marked as such. ‘She is looking very sick? Or is it just me?’ is one question that drew a long thread of debate. The defenders has already come out with one saying, ‘That woman is FABULOUS.’ And another support pointed at the fact, ‘sadly she is sick she has had a rare skin/auto immune disease,’ referring to Glanville’s past health disclosures.
Some reactions of the negative comments centered around her family. A few readers commented that they felt sorry for the kids and were embarrassed for her. ‘Can you ever imagine her sons seeing this hot mess and probably then telling his friends !! Embarrassing,’ said one comment. Another one just inquired, ‘why would you embarrass your kids like this?’ This concern for her family is something Brandi has addressed before, as seen when Brandi Glanville shares heartwarming family photo with her sons and their partners.
In the thick of all the noise, a handful of voices called for an end to the negativity. One user said, ‘You people are just plain mean. Really sad !’ supposedly one user pleaded. However, the huge number of personal criticisms emphasizes the strong and often unforgiving perception public figures like Glanville face when they choose to show their fun and unrefined side to the public.

The video was originally intended to be a light-hearted, silly togetherness moment but the reaction it evoked became a more extensive drama story under the themes of aging in public, women’s expectations and Glanville’s unfiltered character being an obsession that never comes to an end. Who knows, it could be a call for attention or simply a moment of fun, but the post succeeded in one aspect: it created a discussion. For Glanville, it might just be the point. She seems to be the one who is ready to spill some drama along with the holiday spirit. She continues to focus on her well-being, recently seeking a painless ultrasound breast exam for peace of mind. Her ventures also include business, like the grand opening for her natural spray tan business. Fans have also followed her personal journey, including her dental transformation journey before her birthday.
