I kind of overdosed on Brandi Glanville coverage when she was promoting her book before its release last week. I’ve been happy that the Brandi news has slowed down a bit, but maybe it hasn’t really slowed down. Maybe I’ve just been ignoring her. Brandi has a new interview with Life & Style and it doesn’t really sound like anything new – she’s said some of this stuff before, but L&S claims it’s “exclusive” so here you go:
Fearing for her children, Brandi Glanville is speaking out in the new issue of Life & Style, insisting that her ex’s new wife LeAnn Rimes get help…or else!
“LeAnn needs to get help,” the 40-year-old reality star tells Life & Style about her nemesis. “She may be unstable and I am concerned; I want to protect [my children]. I want to make sure she’s as healthy as she can be!”
In August, LeAnn entered a 30-day program to develop better “coping” skills to deal with exhaustion and stress. But the Grammy winner, 30, has since exhibited erratic behavior, including a bizarre performance with Carly Rose Sonenclar on The X Factor, skipping events and breaking down almost to the point of hysterics during an interview with E!’s Giuliana Rancic in December. The release of Brandi’s dishy book, Drinking & Tweeting, may have only aggravated the issues.
“There are clearly some issues going on,” Brandi says, “and I need to know my kids are okay when they’re with [LeAnn]!”
But the country singer’s rep, Marcel Pariseau, says that’s far from the truth.
“This is a ploy to sell more books,” Pariseau says of Brandi’s latest claims. “If anyone needs help, it’s Brandi. That should be obvious to anyone who reads just a few of her tweets.”
Ha. Is this LeAnn’s new tactic, to attack Brandi using her (LeAnn’s) spokesperson? Marcel Pariseau’s comment begs the question – why is LeAnn’s rep reading Brandi’s Twitter? Maybe he’s not. Maybe LeAnn is reading Brandi’s Twitter obsessively and maybe LeAnn wrote that statement and made her publicist recite it. I’ll say it again: LeAnn desperately needs new and better PR people. The people she has working for her now are terrible, and they are not helping the situation whatsoever.
But getting back to Brandi… yeah, maybe she’s genuinely worried about her kids and maybe she’s just trying to get under LeAnn’s skin. I think it can be “both”. Brandi also appeared on Howard Stern’s show a few days ago and Brandi was sh—talking everybody, including her fellow Real Housewives. I didn’t really care much about it, but here are some highlights:
Brandi Glanville felt right at home on The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Radio Tuesday, Feb. 19. The outspoken Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star didn’t hold back when rehashing ex-husband Eddie Cibrian’s affair with now-wife LeAnn Rimes or what she really thinks of her Bravo reality show costars.
Glanville, 40, told Howard Stern that when Cibrian left her for Rimes, who she considered to be less attractive than her, it was not a good feeling. “I don’t think she’s unattractive,” she clarified, “[But] she’s way thinner than I am. It’s not a hot look.”
“Why do you think he went with her? Do you think it was money?” Stern asked. “No. Now I think he stays with her because of the money, but he told me he was cheating the entire marriage, she said. “I think it’s just like extra p—-. He just likes it.” (Cibrian, 39, was caught having an affair with his Northern Lights costar Rimes, 30, in early 2009. Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie, 27, came forward shortly after confessing she too had a relationship with Cibrian while he was still married to Glanville.)
Glanville assumed that Cibrian, who married Rimes in April 2011, “must be” living off her money, because “he’s not working right now” and “they just bought a really fancy mansion. But Glanville, who shares custody of their sons Mason, 9, and Jake, 5, added that she hopes the actor gets a job again. She explained, “If he makes more money, I get more child support.”
Glanville also sounded off on her fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars Lisa Vanderpump, Kim Richards, Kyle Richards, Adrienne Maloof, Yolanda Hadid, Taylor Armstrong and Camille Grammer.
The former model argues that she has to be outspoken on the show in order to defend herself against the veteran housewives. “Those women were horrible. They are just horrible,” she said, using the “C word” to describe her costars, without sharing specific names.
And, she claims, her frenemies also get paid more than she does. Glanville said she was paid $18,000 for her first season on Housewives, but “they upgraded me to a full-time Housewife so then I got $136,000 this year.”
Still, she said the other girls are making $250,000 a year. “I want what they’re getting,” Glanville complained. “I feel like I work hard.”
Nevertheless, the Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders author is grateful for being a part of the show. “It gives you a platform to do a book, and you’re getting wine deals and you’re getting appearance fees,” Glanville explained. “People are just throwing money at you. They’re going, ‘Do you wanna go here for ten grand?'”
One of my biggest pet peeves is when reality stars complain about how hard they work. Kim Kardashian does that too and I just feel like… O RLY? Try having a REAL job. Not that I’m over here curing cancer, but I work harder than Brandi and I don’t get paid a fraction as much as she gets for just sitting around, whining and drinking and being a drama queen. I mean, I don’t mind or care that Brandi’s on a reality show – more power to her, and I’m glad she’s bringing in some money. But just don’t complain about it.

We can now say “NYT Best selling author” Brandi Glanville! Congrats!!
Who will Lifetime cast as Leann in their film adaptation?
Wouldn’t it be funny if they all played themselves in a Lifetime movie…they could all use the work and money! That would be epic!
The woman that played pinhead in AHS season 2 would be perfect.
Making the NYT list is just wonderful and yes, at the moment she is working very hard and deserves all her success. I very much enjoyed her book.
I personally want to thank everyone who made this happen with their support for Brandi. Not the least of which are her close friends and co-author Leslie Bruce who is standing aside to give Brandi the lime light.
Of course I want to thank all the BB’s and those “assistant BB’s” who comment from a distance on gossip sites.
I’m thanking everyone because I was so enraged at the way Brandi was treated that I wanted revenge for her and as they say, “Living well is the best revenge”. She’s not living well yet, but she’s come a long way baby.
Let’s not forget another innocent woman who needs support and that is Kim Smiley.
Absolutely-donate, if you can.
🙂 awesomeness Rita. I wasn’t on either side when this sh*t storm took up pace, and frankly I find Brandi crass and abrasive and in need of a muzzle sometimes….BUT I think she’s been very patient and kind considering the complete lack of respect, SWF and shenanigans thrown her way…girl deserves all she is reaping now. I have two kids and dealt with a leAnn like new GF who moved in with my ex while
I was visiting home at a funeral for my grandmother and the first time away from my kids, and let me tell you, had it played out in the media I would have been far more nasty than Brandi ever was.
My mom watches the real housewives, and now Vanderpump Rules, and while we were both bedridden with the flu during her visit, she got me hooked! When Brandi met with Schaena she was very classy, kind and full of grace that I had such a heart warming feeling for her. She didn’t have to show that girl any compassion and she DID. And she went out of her way to let Schaena know she could wave and say hi. As a wife who was cheated on and a mother of two boys, being 37, well…I applauded Brandi for that. She won a lot of respect from me for that one lunch.
I also bought her book for myself and my mother!
@Rita & @ Smiley.. No kids but health issues & walked out on while fighting for life years ago so totally feel for her & you Smiley. Both of you ladies summed it up perfectly& I agree.
Glad you won your battle Green_Eyes. I’m also glad your many rescue pets have you. Strong women rock.
Heck yeah, she is unstable. If Brandi is smart she’ll translate any kind of intel she has into a strong case against Leann’s proximity to her children.
Not that Leann will be much interested in those two boys once she has her own tiny bundle of joy: blind item suggests she might be trying for a baby-girl. Congrats and don’t pass on the cray-cray? ( <— too mean? )
No, too true.
Except that neither of them is smart. Throw em in the pit and find some grown up parents for the poor boys
Amen! Those poor kids, stuck between two famewhore women and a man with no balls.
totally agree. I don’t see why everyone sides with Brandi so much..on anything. she is one tricky gal and who can take that botoxed face and malnourished body seriously? those boys need real parents and NONE of them are it. it’s all about PR and photo ops for them. in other words, money!
dude. just saw that X Factor fiasco where Le-Haw was stumbling drunk AND offkey on stage. that Carly Rose kid looked pissed, then scared, then horrified…its F*CKING HILARIOUS!!!
not to mention min 3:14 when Britney had an “oh my” look on her face. now when Brit-Brit is giving you the wtf face on ‘your’ performance, you have f*cked up beyond. lol 😆
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiidzhOTOiQ
@RHONYC she “neighs” well,but back then iused to like that song (hangs her head in shame)after watching this meh!sadly no more:(,that kid was like “lord have mercy on me ,its more than one can bear”simon,brit and leann all on one nite”)
Unless blatant honesty is too mean.
I hope for the unborn fetus that it is never conceived.
Oh dear lord. Professionals (such as publicists) shouldn’t be making digs at others like that. Idk if I believe those words were spoken by a publicist.
The kind of publicist that would be hired by these people, for this 3-ring circus? I’d buy it.
Exactly. The publicist taking digs at Brandi shoots any credibility he had.
Ugh I wish Brandi would quit the fillers. She doesn’t need them and all they do is make her look puffy and distorted.
You should read the new article from LRs publicist on Eonline. He actually claims Brandi has a Narcissistic personality. Everything he said actually describes LR to a T. He even admits to reading her tweets and her book. I know Eonline is one of LR’s paid sites and so does the general public.. At least the comments on there are accurate, they’re all pretty much calling the publicist out.
Is her publicist a 17 year old? Jeeze.
That being said, I’m going to read it!
My guess is that Eddie and Leann cooked up this statement together. This looks like the “Eddie’s” Instagram account all over again. If there really is a Marcel the publicist, then he needs to be fired because he sounds like a whiny little girl calling another little girl names. But with all the “Eddie really does work” (excuse me while I laugh, hahahaha) protestations, something smells. I think this whole story is like Leann’s “rehab,” and the Instagram, a concoction by a mentally unstable former child star and her paid gigolo to get back at his ex. And they ripped the Narcissistic Personality Disorder diagnosis off from the posters at this site and we want our compensation! Oh and Leann, next time, don’t forget the Histrionic Personality Disorder stuff too: the hyper-sexuality and compulsive bikini pap shots. You know, the ones Brandi is always doing. Hahahahaha.
If Eddie works that much, it should be translated into higher child support payments then, shouldn’t it? Come on, Eddie, cough it up.
Oh whatever. If she was purely worried, she wouldn’t be constantly aggravating the situation like she is.
Sure, there might be an element of worry. But revenge and the desire for infamy runs strong in this woman.
Bingo. And I thought the publicist’s remark back was good. No one really thinks Brandi is in fear for her kids when she’s selling a story to magazines and promoting a book, yet never consults a lawyer because she has children in an insane person’s care.
And when someone is running around calling you unstable, insane, while just happening to do a book promotion tour, I would respond back too.
LeAnn has issues, but Brandi is playing that card purely for book sales and magazine sales and people can see that by now, not for fear for her children.
I am sick of all of them. Poor kids.
+1
Amen. And if any of this is true I can only imagine how happy she must be, after all this is part of what she wants. I think she is a very hateful woman and it will come back and bite her. She is an a-hole and a gossip pure and simple and none of this is about her kids in my opinion, it about her need for revenge.
Agree with Dawn and Dani. Tiresome, spiteful and just plain low rent – hard to watch.
Fools the lot.
Agree with all of you. She seems more spiteful than caring or even somewhat compassionate. So over it.
Compassion towards a woman who broke up her family and stole her husband?? I don’t think so. Leann flaunts all over twitter that shes the “bonus mom” and Brandi’s boys are HER boys. She does it solely to get under Brandi’s skin. It was bad enough she broke up a family and marriage, but rubbing it constantly is just wrong. I would have zero concern or compassion for Leann. She’s an @sshole. Team Brandi.
I meant caring and compassionate towards hers kids. I’m not a fan of either of them, but Brandi cannot solely blame LeAnn for everything. It’s not like LeAnn FORCED Eddie to cheat; she didn’t ruin their marriage alone, he was a willing participant. Someone else made a good point and said if she TRULY cared about her kids well being, as much as she hates LeAnn, she would approach the situation without media attention. It’s hard to feel bad for Brandi when she wants the attention just as bad if not more than LeAnn.
Well brandi has bills to pay and children to care for. Eddie isn’t really helping with that so a girl has to do what a girl has to do. Brandi is trying to sell her book. If that means bashing leann then so be it. Brandi doesn’t own that nut case anything. Not when leann is on twitter making jabs and posting ridiculous shit all day every day. And I wouldn’t even call what she said “bashing”. I think she just stated the obvious. Bitch is nuts and needs help. Especially if she’s around her children.
You’re still missing my point – you can’t claim that you want to care for your kids etc while making everything about you and making the situation even worse. Any parent who truly cares, broke or not, would handle matters quietly FOR the sake of their children. I understand she has kids to care for, I do, and I get wanting child support etc but the book? More like revenge for a woman scorned more than anything.
My take on this is that Brandi truly believes Leann is unstable, and therefore Brandi is making a lot of noise in order to expose Leann’s issues. I think Brandi wants the world and consequently a family court judge to notice that Leann is a nut and should not be allowed to be alone with Brandi’s sons.
From what I understand, Brandi was quiet about the whole fiasco for quite some time. That didn’t work. Leann just behaved more and more erratically.
So Brandi did the only thing available to her to fight Leann’s money and fame–she started talking about Leann’s wierdness publicly.
IMO opinion Brandi is doing exactly what a good parent does: she is doing everything she can to protect her kids.
Totally agree. I’m sure things have been said and done privately and it’s gone no where. And any mother would do the same thing if their child or children were in danger and if they had a public forum to do it in. They would be publicly voicing their concerns. I don’t blame brandi one bit.
Leann and Brandie should get a group rate. They are both nutz.
But you have to take this into consideration: When you try to fight crazy (LeAnn), you end up looking just as crazy (Brandi), not bc you’re crazy but bc you’re fighting a no-win situation with a very sneaky, manipulative narcissist. And you’ll never win. Brandi should just walk away bc she’ll have the last laugh — As soon as she’s out of LeAnn’s web, LeAnn will pick a new victim.
I don’t really care for her.Yeah her husband was a jerk and cheated on her and yes that must have been awful but all women have had one huge hurt in their life.I think she has issue’s herself.She seem’s to think alot of herself.Those filler’s in her cheek’s look horrible!And why at only 40 does she look like a 55 year old trying to look younger?
Last week it was hard to look at her. On Access Hollywood and Anderson her face was so filled with fillers and lips blown up that her face could barely move when she tried to smile. It was sad looking at a pretty girl ruining her face. My sister watched it. She doesn’t watch RH shows. She said she’s funny and pretty but her mouth was so distracting with the fillers.
She looked older and plastic. So I had to laugh when she was bragging to Howard how these woman are so cut and pulled and she would never do
that. No, Brandi, you are just stuffing your face with too many fillers. I keep hoping every time those fillers go down she will stop the overuse of
them and then, bam, she does it again. The most beautiful thing about a woman’s face is the eyes and a great, easy smile. When these women’s faces are so filled with filler and lips too big, there is no naturalness to their smile and their eyes look bad with the chipmunk cheeks. Brandi needs to stop the madness.
Payback comes in so many shapes and sizes doesn’t it! Go Brandi!
Yeah, but no. She seems just as fame-whorey and unstable as Leann, just in a different way. This is really a private family concern and if she was at all a real, genuine person with actual human decency and care for her children, she would have handled this out of the media spotlight.
She’s using her kids as a bone of contention with her ex, just the same as what Eddie and Leann are doing. They are ALL gross, reprehensible people. I don’t understand why she gets a free pass for her craptastic, exploitative behavior when we would normally nail anyone else to the wall for this kind of stuff.
~slow claps~
Thank you.
I have never understood how this girl, who is also complete nut job, keeps getting a pass.
If she didn’t have LeAnn to troll. What would she do with her days?
If she didn’t keep up all the crazy. Bravo would not want her either.
I don’t know if this is entirely fair. Brandi is an exmodel and not even a top tier one. She doesn’t have any money. She doesn’t have very many skills besides raising children, being pretty, being a smart Alek, and exercising. She depended on Eddie. She’s not going to get a job like the rest of us because after 37 years or so of being pampered and maintained, that would be too hard to do. And with no real experience she would make little money. She’s 40 years old with two kids! So yes, the fame whore game is undesirable, but that’s what she’s got. She knows that world. I’m not mad at her for it.
I agree too. If there weren’t kids involved, I’d be far more inclined to enjoy their public craziness, but there ARE kids involved, and I can’t imagine what this sort of crap does to them. They are going to need so much therapy.
The bad mouthing and money stuff, Brandi is acting like Kate Gosselin.
Diane, I would agree with you except I’m pretty sure she’s tried the private route begore, to no avail. The one thing she has is that Crazyleann is a public person, therefore to get results she has to resort to public shaming to avoid getting completely railroaded where her family is concerned. Unfortunately it worked a little too well and she’s now stuck talking about it all the time. She was smart to say she’s done talking about it after the book tour.
I seriously don’t think she would have done anything publically if Leeann hadn’t pranced and paraded around in her face with her husband! Of course he’s a douche to allow her to do that but Leeann always has that “I have your family” smirk on her face all the time! Come on you can only take so much!
Before you start lashing out like a child?
Nope. Grownups whose words are available to their children don’t get to do that.
I just watched some of the second season of RHOBH and those women WERE heinous to her, especially the Richards broads.
Leann being unstable is obvious to pretty much everyone.
Those ‘Richards broads’ as you so precicely put it are heinous. They need to go. Kim is very hard to watch and Kyle is just fake and a ‘mean girl’ beyond words.
Kyle very subtly instigates 90% of the drama and then steps back and pretends to be innocent. Total mean girl.
And get that vapid, Kyle-mouth-piece Faye out of there too. So glad they edited most of her out of the tea party scene. I seriously almost turned off my tv when i saw her walk in.
Another interesting blind item on Blind Gossip that everyone is saying is LR and Ediot..
Im C/P from their site…
Either this celebrity couple either needs to work on their communication skills or they are mixing things up in a lab.
Allow us to explain. She wants to be pregnant. She wants it badly. She can’t wait to have kids with him. Specifically, she wants a girl (She has enough blue in her life, and wants a little pink to balance it out). She has been buying pregnancy tests and looking at cute girlie baby clothes and telling friends that she’s had several false alarms, but no luck just yet.
Umm… did her SO forget to tell her something? He may have “forgotten” to tell her that she may be doing a lot of guessing and planning and worrying for nothing. Why? Because he got a vasectomy after his last marriage!
Of course, there are other possibilities. He may have had the procedure reversed. Or, he may have put a little some some in the bank before the snip snip, and they are now tapping into that reserve in order to procreate. Or, they are relying on donor sperm.
We’ll know soon enough, because she is undergoing fertility treatments right now (even though she is not old), and “plans” on announcing a pregnancy before the summer starts.
Oh this is surfacing AGAIN! Blue is a reference to Leanns hit song. This is so them!
Yes, I wouldn’t doubt it is them for a minute. Eddie is a life long liar and a cheat so this would be ordinary behavior for him to lie to Leann, especially if she wants a baby. Eddie made it clear in his last marriage how he felt about babies. When I read that Brandi’s doctor diagnosed HPV in Brandi, when she hadn’t had it before, and then sat her down and told her there was a 99% chance Eddie gave it to her, it was sad. Then I wondered if maybe, Eddie never told Leann he has HPV, and she found out about it while reading Brandi’s book. How horrible.
“Then I wondered if maybe, Eddie never told Leann he has HPV, and she found out about it while reading Brandi’s book. How horrible.”
I know, I don’t like Leann much as a person but I wouldn’t wish that experience on her, or anyone. I hope he had the decency to sit her down and tell her, preferably BEFORE they first had sex.
And I hope Eddie doesn’t pass it on to her, or any of the many, many side-pieces he’s banged over the years. I wonder if he told them all he has both genital warts & cancer-causing strains of HPV. Hmmmmmm I’m guessing not.
I also wonder about the HPV status of: Scheana, Dean, his wife Sarah and now Leann and Eddie’s bed partners, Liz and her husband.
My husband and I were listening to the Howard stern interview and he thought she was awesome for what its worth. I liked her book and wish her well
I listened to the Howard Stern interview and didn’t think she was whining at all. it was pretty funny.
This US weekly article is written in a way that makes Brandi look like she was whining by removing Howard’s questions. Here is the interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypWC2zOiv-g
It had the unexpected result of making me feel pity for LR because all the crazy morphing into Brandi behaviour is her trying to live up to a very high bar set for Eddie by Brandi. It’s probably also why she hates her and has done everything to try and break Brandi because then she won’t have to live to that standard.
And the more Brandi doesn’t buckle, the crazier LR becomes. It’s full on obsession.
I’ve been tired of Brandi. She’s not that concerned because all she’s done is talk shit, but no action to insure everything is okay.
If Brandi had done anything to truly investigate the situation, since she claims to be so worried about her sons, we would have heard about it by now because this chick loves the sound of her own voice and sticking it to LeAnn. And don’t give me the crap excuse that she can’t afford a lawyer because she can definitely afford plastic surgery.
She says she’s “concerned” for her kids, GMAFB, she’s all about money, that’s all she’s ever talking about. If she’s so concerned, get your lawyer on her!!! Don’t go to Howard Stern!! I make less than 35k a year & if I thought my ex husbands wife was unstable, I’d take them to court. What kind of “mother” does this? Oh, that’s right, a “real house wife” except, she’s not a wife, & seriously not real…
Ok, about the “poor children” who don’t appear to be neglected by their mom. Assume that there’s a spare 20 GS or so to petition family court. What do you think would happen? Any judge would ask to see evidence of specific risk or injury. Which hasn.t happened yet. Petition denied. And what relief would be possible? This affects custody only.
I’m not a fan of Leann Rimes, but I’m definitely not a Brandi Glanville fan, either. She needs to get off the crazy train she’s been riding for years now and do something positive for her and her kids, not constantly bash her ex-husband in the media. Eddie Cibrian is a major tool for what he did to her, but enough is enough already.
And Brandi did say that this is the end for her. No more ex bashing after this book. I hope she sticks to her words and now uses her new best selling author platform to put out more books about other things. Dating. LA. Being a model. Being a single mom. The possibilities are endless!
Agreed!
Exactly. She said after the book she was done talking about this bs. Someone’s pants are on fire, methinks! I’m sick of all if them and I’m sick of their shenanigans being used as a battle cry for scorned women everywhere. Maybe at first. But then she just kept talking and talking and talking and throwing kerosene on the fire.
Also: allow clap to kaiser; thank you for saying that!
The three of then are trolls.
The book has only just been released, so she still has book tours and interviews to promote the book hence talking about it. I think most reasonable people know she meant after the book release and book tours.
I don’t see expecting her to stop reiteratingthe same things she’s been iterating as being ‘unreasonable.’ She said she’d stop once the book is out. It’s out.
I will concede she still logically can have her hustle on to further sales during the tour, but her hustle is tired. This interview is the same interview she usually gives. And I’m not hater of her personally, i don’t like the the of them but they make good tabloid fodder.
Pop! – She’s on a book tour to promote the book. The tour doesn’t stop once the book is out. There are interviews on both sides of the book release. This is what happens with album releases too. Interviews continue for a few weeks, sometimes months after the album release. Book tours are shorter but they are still tours that crisscross the country over several weeks.
If she is still talking about this in 6mths’ time, we can all pile on and burn her at the stake.
You should always be discreet when dealing with other people’s mental illnesses/ breakdowns/ disorders (and yes, mental disorder includes eating disorder). Even if you don’t like a person, even if they were the source of hurt in your life. There are some areas of ridicule and speculation that are tacky–making fun of a person’s family, or their looks, for example, would be a clear low blows. I believe mental illness should have the same line drawn. Some stuff is just not cool to mock.
It makes me really uncomfortable that someone would dance around these topics this way. She doesn’t come out and SAY “Rimes is having a breakdown/ anorexic/ ugly” but she hints at it. Like when a kid holds his finger an inch from his brother’s nose, saying “What? I’m not touching you”, when it causes the upset it was meant to cause…
Anyway, if a person is really concerned about the wellbeing of their children they should go to the courts. Through lawyers. Going to Twitter doesn’t serve the children in any way.
I am feeling so bad for these two boys. They’ve got three adults to raise. *sigh*
After the callous and cold blooded meanness LeAnn has shown Brandi and anyone else she doesn’t like, there are no blows that can be too low when thrown at LeAnn. LeAnn and Eddie deserve every ounce of sewage spewed at them.
No. It’s disrespectful to other people who actually HAVE mental illnesses.
And no, taking the low road ensures no winners.
Who gives a flying you know what how that ho Leann feels! And screw Eddie. He makes nasty digs at Brandi through Leanns publicist and Leann herself. They need to stop f-ing with Brandi if they want her to stop DEFENDING herself. But no, Eddie and Leann seem to have a pathological need to have the last word. They created this mess and cant stand that Brandi has the balls to speak out and is fighting her way out of it! You can only abuse a person for so long until they get up, retaliate and fight back. Its human nature. Any potential mental illness leann has is no excuse for her behavior. She gets no sympathy just because she has driven herself crazy. Whats Eddies excuse for his lifetime of pathological lying and emotional warfare against Brandi? When will they learn to just stop f-ing with her? Serious. Its sick and demented!
SHe is on offense, not defense.
And not speaking on those toppics is done out of respect for people NOT involved in the argument. The world isn’t made up of these two women, and neither of them seem to get that. Slamming and exposing eating disorders publically isn’t cool because it’s never cool (just as an example)
Your level of class is not proportionat the people you are dealing with it is a reflection of you. That’s what makes it class.
Brandi should stop talking about Leann, whether she likes it or not Eddie is married to Leann and the boys adore her. She must be doing something right. Negative comments about Leann only make Brandi look bitter.
Whoa, calm down.
We’ve had their side shoved down our throats for a while now. There is nothing wrong with the other side getting some attention.
Read leanns publisists statement on eonline. It seems leanns met her personality twin in this guy. What a douchenozzle.
Brandi on Stern was really entertaining, but after I heard her I thought, how did she not see this coming? At first she talked about how she had sex with him all the time, and would never let him leave the house ‘all wound up’ because she knew he had a roaming eye. So, red flag 1: she knew he would possibly cheat. And then she talked about bringing other women in the bedroom for him to watch her with because their sex life got routine, but he couldn’t have sex with them, just her. So, she was ‘dangling the carrot’ so to speak and letting him see other girls naked and in sexual situations all while she was afraid he would cheat on her anyway. Didn’t sound like a good move on her part to me.
Their whole marriage turned me off on both sides after listening to her on Stern. She has been leaving the part out about how she wasn’t just kissing these women. They were going down on each other front of her husband. Then Howard asked what the extra girl would be doing while she banged her husband in front of them, if they were messing around with her during. And the whole thing the way she was seeking other women out. Talking about her friends paying for the third girl they used. Yuck.
Her married life came across sleezy and really that she turned a blind eye to signs he was cheating. She didn’t want to know because she wanted to stay with him is basically what she said in an interview about the HPV. She said to Billy Bush the other night after years of marriage you have to bring new “talent” in. Staying classy, Brandi.
Thats not that shocking to me. I know they arent the first married couple to bring another girl in to spice things up. It never seems to work out well from what ive seen!
I think Eddie manipulates his wives into doing just about anything to please him because he must give an implicit impression/threat they he will cheat if they dont do things like this. Toxic dynamic. Its obvious, look what brandi had to do to “keep” him and look at Leann running around like a starved chicken with its head cut off. He does something to women that is all sorts of wrong!
This is 2013. A lot of married and committed couples have threesomes or are swingers. And many women do tend to be bisexual or bicurious. The only problem I see here is that Brandi may have felt pressured or manipulated by her douche of a husband to be more sexually experimental then she would have been otherwise. It sounds like she felt she had to constantly have sex with him by herself and later on include other women to keep him interested as opposed to completely being interested in doing all that through for her pleasure.
What does having consensual, all-between-adults sex that isn’t strictly one-on-one in a marriage have to do with ‘staying classy,’ or, for that matter, what does the honest discussion of those predilections have to do with ‘classy’ behavior?
Not a thing.
I guess Leann Rimes and Eddie do this couples swap thing with her friend Lizzie now. This explains the photos of Leann and Lizzie in those sexual poses
Good god, I am literally having a skin crawling day-mare now, lol.
Brandi makes me cringe. She is immature and insecure and that was before LeAnn even entered the picture.
Her kids’ reputations will probably be hurt by all of her and LeAnn and Eddie’s acting repulsively. These kids will probably feel a lot of shame from reading and hearing about these three as they get older.
No one is a winner in any of this.
i dated a man once like eddiot ,these are men who play the emotional game ,they are undoubtedly extremely charming,will go out of the way to please you ,once they have your trust ,inorder to get what they want they try and break your trust ,take away that one thing that you gave them ,i understand brandi why she did all that ,she really loved eddie unfortunately ,and would have done anything to keep him ,but he was just an emotional blackmailer,the same goes with LEAnn,she is indded mad in her own way but its eddie who is pulling the strings frm behind ,having the ladies throttle each other
Oh STFU both of you, go to your corners and get on with your lives….
Some 40 more years and she’ll harp on nearly as good as Joan Collins.
If you’re concerned about your boys safety, go to family court. If you’re not, STFU.
Brandi and Leann are really the same person in two different corpses.
Also, happy to know she earns $136,000 a year for her reality-show. So much for the “I had to write this book, so I can sustain myself since I don’t have any money”
I see your point but that money doesn’t go far in LA.
She said it’s a platform, that people start “throwing money” at you for things, book deal, appearances 10,000 a pop, etc. So she made a lot more than that this past season all combined. Next season will be over a hundred thousand more just in RHOBH alone.
That won’t buy you a 1 bedroom condo in any city I’ve lived in, esp LA. In what world does $130 grand proide enough food, shelter and living expenses for a grown women with 2 children?? And remember, she’s been struggling for 3 years now. No doubt there are debts to be paid. Really reaching with this comment. Really ignorant.
I know the cost of living in LA is significantly higher than many places, but there are tons of places where $130k a year is very well off, especially for a single mom with 2 kids. The average income in my city is $35k. The cost of living in the USA can differ dramatically from state to state, even city to city.
Let’s be fair. Brandi has to support herself and provide a home in a good area of Los Angeles for her children. Take out the CA and Fed taxes on $136,000 and that’s not a lot of money to live in Los Angeles, CA. Also, when Eddie is not working which he does little of because he lives off LeAnn, the children’s child support is reduced in half. LeAnn has had no trouble giving many interviews about her affair with a married man or writing songs and singing about it. Brandi has every right to tell her side of the story, and I say good for her she can make some money doing it. What’s worse? A Father and crazy new wife treating the Mother of his children like crap, or the Mother telling it?
That’s not all Brandi is making. As she said ” … the Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders author is grateful for being a part of the show. “It gives you a platform to do a book, and you’re getting wine deals and you’re getting appearance fees,” Glanville explained. “People are just throwing money at you. They’re going, ‘Do you wanna go here for ten grand?’”
And just because Leanne and Eddie’s behaviour has been horrible doesn’t excuse Brandi’s actions. Most of us learn that as children. They’re all a mess.
THANK YOU! After she pays her agent, publicist, manager & taxes, she is not left with a lot of money at all. People are so ignorant as to way things are done in the industry and how much money your reps take from what you make.
Thats really not a lot of money after you take out taxes and other fees. she now has a manager and other PR people that get a percentage of everything she makes. She’ll be lucky to clear 60K after all that, which isnt even a lot in my area let alone Cali.
Also, its not like she’s guaranteed she will be making that much for yrs to come. Im sure she know she has to bank a lot b/c she knows the fame train does not last. I dont blame her a all for making as much as possible while she’s hot. Most of these realty people know this stuff doesnt last but a few yrs.
The median household income in the US is $44,000. If you can’t make ends meet with $130,000 it’s time to move to a new zip code.
@judyjudy If that really is the average US household income, that is a crying shame. I don’t undertsand how anyone could live off of that.
Ditto what judyjudy said, except I was under the impression that the median income was closer to $36,000.
I lived on less for years. I am AGHAST at people who argue that a six-figure income is a hardship of any kind. STFU.
You also have to consider taxes. She’d be paying the 33% rate in addition to self-employment taxes, which are 13.3%. That’s 46.3%, or 62968, leaving her with about 73K. Her agent would get a cut of that, pre-taxes, as well.
And that’s not even figuring in state and local taxes. At the end of the day, her RHoBH pay was probably no more than 60K.
It’s a one year contract. All the women are given that. First year, she made only $18,000 and that was a trial.
Each contract renewal comes with pay rise so she received $136,000 for this year and if she renews for next season, she will go up to $250,000 for that year.
The money for the show is better than regular salaries, but it’s contract work. If she doesn’t bring the drama, she may not be renewed. Plus she said it opens up an entire window of opportunities where money is being thrown at her, so she needs to stay on show to continue earning money.
There was so much juicer stuff on the stern interview than this! Eddie got genital warts and that other strain of hpv that causes cancer according to Brandi so Leann might by now too! Wonder if Eddie told Lean his status before they started boinking… I doubt it!! If i contracted all those stds from my new man unknowingly and had already left My first marriage…. I would be an anixiety ridden mess too from regret and fear from poor decisions. Eddie is a dog!
And Leann favors the younger son, the older son told Brandi that Leann likes Jake better. How freaking sad! Leann doesnt geniunely love those kids, theyre just tools to get eddie more entrenched with her and to tick off Brandi with.
Brandi also said she was sleeping with Eddie the whole year after they broke up. She explains one of those times in the book but didnt say how long they continued to bang. Leann is an idiot for marrying a man who continued to sleep with another woman for the first year of their “relationship”!!
She also said Leann bought christmas presents for every student in Mason and Jakes class. That is so inappropriate.
Well Eddie is no dumbie. That new mansion will be half his in their future divorce. Community property!!
LeAnn knows the older boy probably at least knows some of what went down with her and his Father. The younger one does not, so LeAnn is thinking she can win him over and make him like/love her more than his own Mother. I had not heard that about LeAnn buying Christmas presents for all the kids in the boys’ classes. Now how freaky is that? You can dislike Brandi for a lot of reasons, but the way she has been treated and her children used by LeAnn is just plain evil and wrong.
HPV is HIGHLY contagious & even condoms don’t protect you from it. so yeah, even sleeping with someone ONCE, using a condom, can give you the cancer-causing HPV or genitals warts (or any warts, really) strain of HPV.
I didn’t know about her and he bringing other women in the bedroom.
I don’t care what year it is that is nasty and they have children. All of these people are gross. And Yes Leanne is a fool for marrying Eddie, but Brandi is a bigger one for being so stupid to sleep with the man after he cheated and left her.
I don’t care what anyone says, she would go back to him tomorrow if he left Leanne and said he wanted her back. I can hear it in her voice every time I hear her talk about him.
Dear Brandi. Take some of that fortune you’re spending on hair, make-up, plastic surgery, clothes & booze and go and see a lawyer if you really think your kids are in any danger at all. If they say you’re delusional take that cash and go and see a shrink.
Completely agree.
The argument has always been that she couldn’t afford good representation. With her housewife money, book money, and appearance fees she’s apparently been offered, she’d be wise to stop talking to Howard Stern about her kids’ safety and lawyer up. Otherwise her “LeAnn is dangerous” claims will lose credibility (and fast).
So Brandi made $136k before taxes from her show in 2012 to support her one household and two kids. After living expenses, whats left to fight Leann’s cream of the crop lawyers is still probably not great. After reading the book, Eddie is extremely vindictive towards Brandi During litigation and if she made one false move in court with an average lawyer that she could afford, Leann’s lawyers would screw her in a second. its risky.
As for her beauty treatment costs, i see that for the most part- a business expense incurred in order to be q celebrity. Just as i pay for higher education, work clothes, professional license fees to be an accountant, Brandi must pay to maintain her appearance as that is part of being a celebrity.
@Iyania
With this publicity, if that woman can’t find a lawyer who will waive most of his fees in a case of real, actual child endangerment, I’ll eat my hat.
No excuse for this.
Yea I Agree. I think Brandi needs to take legal action. BUT, Because Brandi has not taken the high road lately (and I am not blaming her AT ALL because I would have lost it too), and has gotten a DUI, I think she’s afraid to go to battle with them in court. I think Brandi has some skeletons in her closet too. Look at the publicist, throwing Brandi’s DUI in her face like that. I don’t excuse DUI’s but gosh, she was really driven to hit the bottle after her life fell apart, you really feel her pain after reading the book.
I think Brandi is afraid of Eddie and Leann when it comes to court. After the book promo is done, Brandi needs to really clean up her act so she can eventually get full custody/upperhand over Eddie and Leann.
@BestJes:
NOT saying this is what Brandi does, but I work at a Medical Spa in Nashville and p/t in our Chattanooga location and we comp a LOT of botox, laser treatments, and fillers etc for music industry types and singers. Especially if they have any upcoming appearances. Just sayin…
Very interesting. and not shocking. Remember when celebs were receiving Oscar ( I think, or some other awards show) “gift bags” with items totaling $40,000? It’s entirely possible someone’s comping her fillers for word of mouth publicity and exposure especially in a plastic surgery haven like Beverly Hills.
True, I’m sure she gets some clothing and others items gratis or heavilly discounted too BUT she’s earning considerably more than the average US wage, she simply can NOT cry poor on 100K plus.
Did anyone else listen to the Stern interview? Holy Cow that would be the thing to have smoke coming out of LR ears. All about their sex life and how she kept it spicy, etc. And Howard kept saying “How could Eddie leave you?!”
Seriously though. I can’t imagine being in a relationship like that where you have to keep jumping through all these hoops to keep him from straying. Couldn’t have been an entirely satisfying relationship to begin with.
Definitely not, but you know everyone’s relationships and marriage are different. In some ways everyone has a cross to bear as well. Its certainly not soemthing I would do or even ever entertain the idea, but to each his own.
*i just got your screename, cute!
All that stuff she did and allowed; AND he still cheated and left with another woman.
I agree with this post on all counts. These famous people are addicted to being the center of attention and we are exhausted of reading about their ‘hard lives’ . Let’s ignore them for a while.
Who is this Marcel personality? Darrel browns alter ego? Its so ridiculous that he called Brandi an npd because she wrote a memoir and is promoting it. Thats such a joke. Leann is so transparent! Leann thinks if she can hurt Brandis image enough, then the public wont hate her anymore. Wrong. Everyone hates Leann Rimes for being a homewrecking psycho brat. Brandi should sue that Marcel, if he is even a real person, for defamation and stop Leann in her tracks.
That it!! I kept wondering, why does this writer sound so familiar? Even the name, I can see Darrel Brown picking Marcel, his french alter ego.
Darrel has been feuding constantly with people on his twitter account about how everyone should kiss Leann’s a$$ and “crawl” to beg her forgiveness. This is like when Leann went to “rehab” and there was speculation that she was hiding out at Darrel’s boyfriend’s house, because the guy is a therapist.
Too funny. I bet Marcel is Darrel!
It’s a real publicist. He’s got other celebrity clients. You can google him. But, she probably likes him because he is so similar to Darryl and her other paid companions.
Yes, you’re right, he’s real after all, but it cracks me up how silly he looks whining like a little girl. I bet he regrets taking on this BPD client who will not listed to him and will in the end give him bad publicity. Hahaha
Brandi’s outrage that her husband left her for a “less attractive” woman really bothers me. I can understand saying this to yourself in the middle of the night when you are crying because you were cheated on and you are angry – like I cannot believe that he cheated on me with *that cow* But to go on and on about this in public is so beyond shallow and so un-classy. I would almost believe that she would be less mad about this if the other woman had been “more attractive” in Brandi’s eyes.
I think it’s pretty hilarious because its what everyone else has been thinking and saying from the start. If anyone has a right to talk about how broke down, skinny, and ugly in the face Lehorse is, it’s definitely the woman who’s family she callously contributed breaking up and who used her high powered attorneys and money to screw Brandi out of child support. ( She actually had to give some child support money back to Eddie per their divorce decree because he stopped working. )
“how broke down, skinny, and ugly in the face Lehorse is” Honestly, you need to check yourself. This is another human being and this comment is in poor taste. I am the biggest fan of gossip, but who is anyone to pass that sort of judgement upon another person? These ugly comments are getting to be a little too much.
Oh please check yourself because you are not in a position to check me. You just passed judgement on what you believe is appropriate for a woman who was cheated on and left struggling financially with two young children to publicly say about the person contributed to the breakup of her family. This is the comments section on a gossip blog and everyone talks $hit and passes judgement on theses celebrities, yourself obviously included. Okay? And a plethora of people with two eyes and taste think that LeMann was no beauty before but has steadily made herself more uglier with her emaciated body and horse veneers. Brandi is a human being like the rest of us, not to mention that she has eyes too. She really doesn’t she have an obligation or incentive to hide the fact that she thinks Leann is unattractive and is making herself more so. Why should she?
Check yo’self!
If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck..it’s a duck.
Pretty is pretty, ugly is ugly and Leann is fugly. I think it’s a matter of opinion, yes, but she is right. Brandi is just saying what her and a lot of people are thinking. I can’t stand it when people get all self-righteous and think they are better than people who say it like it is when they probably have thought the same thought. Oh but because they don’t say it out loud they can act self-righteous about it. It’s no different in my eyes!
She’s a celebrity, their looks are a huge part of that equation. It’s fair game! And if you don’t want people talking smack about you, act right, be a private person, be a good person and don’t be a homewrecker.
It’s so sanctimonious to pretend you wouldn’t be hurt by being replaced by someone who you thought was less attractive than you with the personality to match.
Especially when that person kept posting pictures of themselves showing off their bodies clearly rubbing their opinion of their own good looks in your face
Exactly!
$136K to appear on the show? That doesn’t seem like enough money to make it worth the trouble…
Wow, that Howard Stern stuff sounds saucy!
Despite what Brandi says publicly Le should be happy with what she had to say about their relationship in her book. She very much validated their relationship by saying that Cruddie was swept up in it and to quote another good love story, “he just couldn’t quit her.” Le was also able to provide Cruds with things and a lifestyle he always wanted, I personally did not see that as a dig but a truthful statement that Le was able to give him something Brandi never could. In the end Le should be happy with her prize and move on and just not respond to these rag interviews because it isn’t worth it AND Brandi should stay turn to her word and not discuss such things.
She is actually kinder to her in her book than I expected and if she could carry that attitude out in life I think it will serve her well. I would like to see her continue on RHWBH because I think she adds some sass and color to an otherwise pretty vanilla world.

IM concerned for the boys. Brandi is no better then Leanne she has her own issues. Gossip out there is Leanne may join the show now too.. Anyone care about these boys? ANYONE.
I think all involved care about the boys, and want what’s best for them, just to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. BUT, in the heat of anger (all parties), bitterness (Brandi, totally justified), and genuine financial concerns (Brandi), it seems that nobody is really thinking about the impact this public drama will have on them–now and later. I’m not judging, as I’d probably do the same as Brandi in her situation. But, again, I think she may regret some of these decisions at some point, even if she gets herself and the boys into a better financial situation. I’d hope they all have some regrets about the effects on the boys when they come to their senses…
It is my understanding that she just changed publicists and PR people about a month ago. Thus, the new “bangs” trama, et al.
What concerns me the most is that it’s taken Brandi 4 years to realize LeAnn’s “unstable”. Combine mental instability and MSBPD and you’ve got one hell of a messed up person.
(btw: MSBPD=Mean Spirited Bitch Personality Disorder. In case you didn’t know)
MSBPD=Mean Spirited Bitch Personality Disorder!
LOL, is there a cure for that?!?!
You know, if you keep calling someone crazy (even if true), they will come after you. Especially looking at LeAnn’s track record with suing people. If you are truly concerned about the well-being of your children, you would stop yapping to media and get a lawyer. I find Brandi as despicable and attention hungry as Leann. And anyone who praises her book, clearly does not read enough.
I agree if she was that worried about it she would quit blabbing about it and hire a lawyer. The first thing a lawyer will tell you is to not to talk bad about the other parent or their partners publicly. Judges don’t like that.
All you have to do is read her reps laughable statement to know she (Hi Leann) reads this site constantly… Narcissism, NPD everything we always talk about Leann having suddenly Brandi has… And to make a point that Eddie is working not just living off Leann. LOL … so obvious!!
Good try Leann. Good try.
I know! LMAO! We need to bill her for our services. And you forgot the Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis too Leann. You know, Leann, the thing that makes Brandi sue every one around her because she’s such a victim.
right how many times have people had thorough discussions of Leann and NPD? Countless. it’s so clear Leann is reading these discussions. HI LELE!! CALL ME!! (oh wait, please don’t, i don’t want to be sued)
I’m with Brandi all the way. She was put in this position because her ex couldn’t be bothered to work to support his children when they are not with him, knowing that she was a homemaker who had not worked in years. Not to mention that she has never had this platform to speak this openly about her situation. I remember when she and Eddie first broke up and LeMann had the nerve to have her lawyers threaten legal action if she didn’t stop talking to the press about the breakup of her marriage. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and since Falcor isn’t the only one with a high profile now, there is no way she could pull that crap again without the general public becoming aware and disliking her even more. And I love the fact that Brandi has no shame about who she is, what she has done, and what she has been through. I like that she curses like a sailor and says what everyone else is thinking. And I love that she has the public platform of a tv show ( that fans love her on) and a book ( thats a NY times best seller) To humiliate and bring attention to LeMann and her ho bag ex Eddie for their hostile behavior.
+1
Brava, Mia! Brandi never followed the script LeAnn had written for her. She didn’t sit down, shut up, and stay in the corner while LeAnn and Eddie controlled the narrative and pranced in front of the cameras with the kids. So many women who are “replaced” are expected to shut up and stay in the corner. Brandi resonates with real people. That’s why I think the success of Brandi’s book and her role on RHOBH have surprised so many in the entertainment and publishing worlds. I loved the book and hope she and Leslie Bruce write another. And I hope they make a movie out of it!
+1. LeAnn definitely messed with the wrong woman’s husband and children. No doubt about it.
I’m puzzled by Brandi’s comments about LeAnn being so thin and how it’s not a good look. I mean it’s true… MeAnn did turn herself into a skeletor for limp Eddy, but Brandi herself is extremely thin so why would she even bring weight into it? Clearly Eddy likes his women good and scrawny (with big boobs). I think what Brandi really wants to say is Eddy ran off with a homely woman but she’s trying to be “delicate” about it.
She wasn’t saying it to be competitive. She was saying that LR has lost so much weight that she’s now thinner than she [Brandi] is. Brandi is a naturally thin ex-model. LR is not. people always assume if they lose weight they will become better looking and that isn’t true. Some people look better bigger.
It’s crazy for anyone to try and morph into a model when nature didn’t give them model physicality. Brandi said she was primarily a runway model. Runway models tend to be both naturally thin and or remain as skinny as possible to fit the impossibly small sizes.
The fact octomom still has her kids proves to me that it must be difficult to adjust custody in california. Brandi has limited tesources so she’s waiting for something tangible in evidenc and warning leann in advance that she is watching her so that leann quits the crazy and no lwayers need get involved.
I mean… sigh…. between Brandi and Leann I’m definitely Team Brandi, but she doesn’t come off well here. I’m not impressed by this interview.
I love the American word ‘homely’…we don’t use it here like you do. We would use it to mean ‘This house is cosy, comfy’…
So because I’m not familiar with it, or it’s nuances, it strikes me as hilarious that you all describe Rimes as homely…it must be a polite way of saying not very pretty…
On another note, I STILL think Brandi is the bomb.
I think, all things considered, she has played this lunatic so well, she can now sit back and say ‘Game set and match’.
She needs to keep her promise however that she will never, ever engage, talk about or argue with Rimes ever again.
Rimes will try very very hard to bait her, by employing her usual tricks like tweeting ‘bonus Mom’ etc but Brandi must ignore it.
Rimes will probably even ratchet it up times a thousand once she realises that Brandi is not engaging.
Rimes LIVES for a reaction from Brandi. Brandi needs to stop giving her one.
As I read Brandi’s book, I got a big kick out of the way she referred to LeAnn as the kids’ “bonus mom.” Really rubbed it in her face. Notice how lately on Twitter, LeAnn refers to herself as a “stepmother.” I’m guessing she started doing that after she read Brandi’s book. Very, very funny and a master touch by Brandi!
I think everyone is finally getting tired of the never ending barbs back and forth. I understand Brandi’s position, but I just think she is now having a negative impact because its overkill. While I love her honesty and her candor, I cringe sometimes because she crosses that fine line. I want her to succeed and be able to make good money but I think now it’s time to quit the back and forth barbs and handle personal things quietly. I know this has made her a lot of money thus far with magazines and all but it is going to ruin her if she keeps on. Why is it necessary to tell the intimate details of their sex life? That just seems like too much. And I was a devout Brandi fan. I still am but she needs to stop now and find another platform.
I agree with much of what you said. If brandi doesn’t cool it soon, she’ll be writing a companion book to Leann’s album: “Backfired” By Brandi Glanville
Hope you’re wrong about “Backfired,” but your comment is very witty! 🙂
Why is Leann & Marcel even issuing statements about Brandi when they told Eonline that Leann and Eddie don’t think about Brandi? Why complain about Brandi’s book when Leann released Borrowed and is planning on releasing her album about her affair with Eddie the same month that Brandi’s youngest son celebrates his birthday? What was Leann’s interview wtih ET, E, Katie, Leno, and Jimmy? A ploy to sell Leann’s music. So why the double standard?
Is Leann unstable? She went from saturating to the internet with stories about the house she bought Eddie and pregnancy rumors to now claiming that Bravo is pursuing her for a reality tv show. Now that Brandi’s book is on the best sellers list, Leann is going over the edge attacking Brandi because she knows that her mouthpieces won’t call her on it and will instead push her agenda.
That explains why Leann was so quiet on twitter yesterday. She was doing damage control with Eonline and Radaronline.
Why is Brandi thinking she got HPV from Eddie? Isn’t it possible that she got it from one of the girls they brought into their bed? It doesn’t have to be spread by a penis, right? Can’t it be spread with fingers and mouths? Brandi admitted she and the women would go down on each other.
The Howard interview was great, but I was hoping he would bring up Leann suing the teacher, Leann SWF’ing Brandi, and Leann leaving the laxatives around for Jake.
After I heard the Stern interview where she admits to oral with other women, I thought the same thing. Eddie probably was the culprit, but it is very possible she got it from one of the Ho’s they brought into their bedroom. Fingers, oral can also transmit it. I thought it was pretty gross how she said her group of girlfriends would share the same “lady” (I’m assuming a paid hooker) for their threesomes.
I also forgot to mention. Leann didn’t get the judge position on AGT. It went to Mel B. This is one of the reasons why Leann is using Eonline and her rep to attack Brandi today, to distract from the fact that her bad behavior towards Brandi and staged photo-ops cost her another job. With all the talk about pregnancy, a new house, and now these very public attacks against Brandi without any fear of it’s consequence, the media forgot that Leann was in the running for AGT. AGT selected Mel B, who wasn’t even on the list that the “source” released about possible judges for AGT. So was it Leann and her pr people who put out the stories about Leann being a judge for AGT, just like they are the ones putting out that Bravo is pursuing Leann for RHOBH?
If Leann is so happy with Eddie and they are starting a new beginning with their new mansion like Leann has been tweeting today, why is Leann so preoccupied with Brandi? The more mean things Leann does to Brandi, the more the support for Brandi and her book gets stonger.
Yeah, I was glad to see the judge position on AGT go to Mel B., not that Leann would have gotten it anyway.
There’s no denying LeAnn’s behavior continues to hurt her reputation and career big time. I think everyone realizes it but her. Her next album is coming out soon. You would think she would just focus on her music, but she simply can’t.
i think brandi and leanne have been in on this together since day one.
alicia keys married that swizz beatz guy-well when they started dating he was still married. if you search around you’ll read about it online, but not much. why? because all parties involved refused to discuss it. his ex-wife who was cheated on wrote some website or her blog how betrayed she felt and that she was a fan of alicia and her girlpower songs but that her in reality is quite different than her music. which makes sense, she’s not her persona on stage-she’s a human. but back to my point-no one talks about alicia being a homewrecker because the parties involved have remained silent about it. whereas leann and brandi talk about it constantly. brandi to make it on a reality show of course but a bully stops bullying if their victim ignores them. leann just keeps responding-she’s too worried what others think of her. being a celebrity you have to have thick skin-you just do. being a female in country music and cheating while married is a huge no no. johnny cash can do it-it makes him more masculine. but a female country singer-nope.
Very good point here! Good insight. I think both Brandi and Leann need to stop talking and tweeting and leave it all alone, but they both want attention and money.
What does Leann get out of it? The attention this draws to Leann hasn’t helped her career one bit. Leann and Brandi aren’t in on this together because Leann and her fans have done some very mean and disgusting things towards Brandi.
The major difference is that Alicia K didn’t employ an army of her fans and staffmembers(ie-manager, stylist, tour manager, publicist) to publicly attack Mashonda. I don’t read Alicia K twitter account, but does she ever tweet about her stepchild the way we see Leann doing?
That isn’t true about Mashonda, Alicia, and Swizz being silent. It’s not that they aren’t talking about it, it’s just that certain media outlets aren’t reporting on it. Mashonda was on the first season of the reality tv show Love and Hip where she talked about Swizz’s affair, she gave an interview about how Swizz left her bankrupt and with a house that was in poor condition, she wrote a letter to AK on twitter in response to some mean things AK was saying about her(yes even AK and Mashonda were involved in a twitter back and forth), called AK out for being inappropriate with her son, and even called AK out on trying to justify her affair with Swizz by claiming that she and Swizz were seperated when they started “dating”. There were even rumors about how Swizz was cheating on AK with his ex-wife. AK has given exclusive interviews about her affair(she claims that she didn’t cheat because Swizz wasn’t with his wife when they got together), but only when she has something to promote and not random interviews like Leann.
I don’t understand why women like Brandi and Mashonda are always being told to shut up, especially when they are being reminded so publicly of what happened to them on a daily basis. When the bully is someone like Leann, a bully doesn’t stop bullying when their victim ignores them. Brandi ignored Leann for the longest and that was when Leann was at her worst.
Haven’t read all the comments. But I don’t think LeAnne or her people need to read the twitter. Brandi has talked about them on every appearance. It is the selling point of her book. But my thing if she is really concerned for her children then she should take action and not talk about it in a book or an interview. How is that helping the kids. Get the lawyers involved. But then that would mean she has to have actual proof and not just say it on talk shows to promote her book. The kids to my understand are with their father and his wife half the time. I wonder why if she is worried she is not in court. That is where I would think a concerned parent would be.
I feels sad for the boys, but they are not my kids.
regarding RHOBH she knows I hope that this show and “those women’ are the reason she has a platform. I think maybe “success” is going to her head a bit. I don’t know exactly what she is going to do once the talk of the book fades. She seems to be biting the hand that has fed her for the last couple of years. Yes the book will make money, but Brandi seems to want a “lifestyle” and not sure if she will be able to make the money to support it. I don’t know exactly what job she would do if she left the show. Maybe she is trying to get her own spin off. But then she would need E and L to help make it interesting. Because really without that connection would people would listening.
These kind of things are slippery slop. The public loves scandal but after a period of time the public forgets that the parties involved in the scandal have to be supported for YEARS and YEARS to come. I don’t know if the public interest is going to be on Brandi side for years to come. There will be another scandal waiting to take this place. There always is.
I take it that you have not actually read the book? Its more about the demise of her relationship with Eddie and her life.LeAnn only comes up a handful of time, 65 to be exact and she isn’t even in the acknowledgments.
But I agree with you about scandal, lalohan was the first to actually make a career out of it.
lisa2, you should read Brandi’s book.
NO.. NO… NO.. not interested.
I was not talking about how much she talks about them in the book. I have not read the book and don’t ever intend to. I was talking about that the promotion for the book has been her talking about them. I appreciate that she was hurt and that situation with Eddie and Leanne is an ugly one. But I don’t have an interest in reading about it. It seems everything is already out in the press anyway.
I actually find all 3 of them quite distasteful and disgusting for different reasons.
Happy for Brandi. Congrats to her!
That being said, I can’t get over LeAnn SWF Brandi’s doctors/service providers.
Was it purely for SWF reasons? Was she trying to make Brandi feel uncomfortable going to her own service providers? Was she trying to befriend these people soo much and badmouth Brandi to them soo much that they would tell Brandi they could no longer care for for/provide services for her? Was she trying to take every lick of support/comfort/schedule/routine away from Brandi?! WTF?!
Whatever the reason it’s not working and it’s just making her look like the whack job she is.
