"We wanted to be able to talk about it ourselves when Brentt was in a better place," she said in the video. "So, here I am, because I would rather the correct thing be out there than something that's not correct."

He's only 23, so he's really young for something like that to happen to him." During her lengthy video, the "Real Housewives" star noted that doctors suspected drugs, alcohol or an infection – such as HIV – could have been a cause for the health scare, which she clarified.  "Brentt doesn't drink or do drugs.

And obviously they've tested him for all of those things.They also tested him for HIV.They were thinking that maybe he had caught COVID and he didn't know that he had COVID," she said.
