Brandi Glanville had a short Twitter rant yesterday. I feel like LeAnn Rimes’ master plan is working! LeAnn has been so publicly disengaged with everything happening around Brandi lately, so now it’s Brandi who looks like the one starting Twitter beefs and trash-talking and being a hot mess. Anyway, Brandi’s tweets need a Rosetta Stone to decipher/decode, but the basic gist is that Eddie Cibrian is asking Brandi to pay him child support…? HAHA.
Brandi Glanville was left a divorced mother of two when her ex-husband allegedly cheated on her with LeAnn Rimes — who he would go on to marry — but now despite living a life in the lap of luxury with his country singer wife, the Bravo star claims Eddie Cibrian is asking her for child support!
The estranged couple share custody of sons, Mason, 10, and Jake, 6, which has led to much feuding and controversy over Rimes’ role as stepmother to the boys, when she blogged about removing “step” when the boys are in her home and opting instead just for “mom.”
While Glanville and Cibrian try to make nice for the sake of their sons, the relationship has been rocky for quite some time and is well documented through both the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and Rimes’ Twitter pages.
“Im not taking cheap shots at my ex in my new book cuz its all true,” Glanville tweeted on Tuesday, referring to her latest book release, Drinking & Dating: P.S. Social Media Is Ruining Romance.
“&now mr fancy new cars&house man is asking ME for child support!Uknownada”
Glanville, 41, reportedly lives in a modest — but nice — home in the Hollywood Hills off Mulholland Drive, while Cibrian and Rimes just purchased a new $3 million 6-bedroom home in the elite Hidden Hills neighborhood last year.
Rimes has an estimated net worth of $20 million.
“everytime I take 1 step frwd I get a lawyers letter that takes me 3 steps back so wen people say move on, I say 2 my ex LET ME! Just STOP,” Glanville tweeted, hinting that Cibrian served her with child support paper work.
Radar reached out directly to Glanville for comment, but got no response at the time of publication.
I’m including a screencap of the tweets below. Do you really think Eddie has the audacity to ask Brandi for child support? Wouldn’t that be a situation where he would be laughed out of court? Granted, I think Brandi makes more money than she lets on (especially when she was crying poverty while carrying a Louis Vuitton purse), but Eddie married someone who (allegedly) has an eight-figure net worth. Unless LeAnn’s finances really are struggling. Are they? I know she doesn’t have a lot of money coming in from album sales or her half-assed “tour” but surely LeAnn has made some wise investments through the years? Because what happens when the money runs out? Well… that would be interesting.

When the money runs out, so will Eddie.
Right? So fast her head will spin, and she knows it, too.
Maybe that’s what happening. Eddie being MIA on Valentines day and all. Maybe he’s hoping to get money from Brandi so he can divorce LeAnn?
Exactly – he already has one woman supporting him (LeAnn), and now he’s aiming for his second. And I’m sure he feels entitled to her money, since she earned some of it from trash-talking him. Grow up, little boy, and get a job.
I’m sure Brandi makes more money than Eddie…I’m not sure the courts would count LeAnn’s money in child support payments…they aren’t her children…

My “gaygent”… WTF?
@ Sullivan – yeah she wrote gagent and she’s done it before. I’m not gay, so perhaps my opinion is irrelevant but it drives me crazy. I know some can get away with it. Kathy Griffin calls her gay fans “my gays”, and Tori Spelling calls her two gay friends “guncles”, but it can be offensive.
He’s asked her to call him that. They are close and it’s their little joke. If he’s not offended, it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s not like she’s using a gay slur to describe him.
If you say so…
Well if we’re supposed to move forward as a society and quit discriminating in any fashion, then stupid terms like “gagent” and “guncle” need to be thrown away.
To be fair….Brandi’s agent has people call him “gaygent”.
Also, The Guncles specifically asked to be called that and are no parlaying it into a brand/business. http://gunclesonline.com/meet-the-guncles/
People want to be called what they want to be called.
“Gaygent” is what her agent calls himself. That is why she uses that term.
That is so offensive……….. whether or not he asked her to call him that.
Her “gaygent” asked her to call him that!!
Yep. Pretty sure as long as Leann’s assets are kept separate and if property is in her name, he can claim no income. I hope this isn’t true though. Leann and Eddie are despicable people, but this would take it to a whole new level.
I’m not a LeAnn fan, but this is ridiculous! She is not responsible legally or financially for these kids. Ed & Brandi made them & that’s who pays for them. Their salaries are the only thing taken into account. I’ve been thru this.
In normal circumstances I would agree with you. But, Eddie could go get a J.O.B. and have a salary, it is HIS choice to not work b/c Leann funds his lifestyle. Brandi should not be responsible for paying child support just because he is a lazy POS.
I’m not 100% convinced that this is all true because all these people involved are a mess, but if it is true then yes it is despicable.
MrsB, does that mean my husband shouldn’t have to pay child support to his ex who is a SAHM? She could go get a job, too. I don’t think so.
@BendyWindy A-FREAKING-MEN!!!!!
Yeah, at this point, Brandi definitely banks more than him and there’s no way the court would count LeAnn’s money. BUT since they split custody… not sure how this would work.
That’s what I was thinking too. Brandi rode this crap to her own fame and fortune, and he’s got nothing going on – with shared custody she might have to pay up.
Yeah, Leeann’s assets wouldn’t be counted – at least assuming that they live in California.
If Eddie’s not working to his ability, that will eventually catch up with him and he’ll get stuck with imputed income. I suppose that might be easy to talk your way out of as an actor, though, assuming you’re at least going to auditions.
They do not. The only income a court sees in a child support case is the earned money (or potential to earn) of the biological parents. There is a formula that factors in the household amount of the biological parents times how many children & decides what kind of payment a family of this income with this many children would have that is based in VA law but most states are the same. This figure is also figured prior to amounts taxed.
I don’t know if he is working but based on former paychecks a judge would say “Brandi makes X you have the potential to make Y your children deserve Z. The the total of Z Is divided by whatever percent has been determined & the answer is your child support payment (if the percent is 40 & the amount is $1000, support owed each month would be $400)
Snappyfish, that’s interesting as I was told my income would count toward child support payments.
So, for example, if I got divorced and my ex hit the gravy train and married a bajillionaire, the bajillionire’s income could not be counted toward my child support payments? That doesn’t seem right as I thought it was supposed to be about parity in the households.
Before everyone starts telling me their income is not going to support someone else’s children, you knew about those children when you married your man. That’s what I was told when I pitched a fit about it. I think it’s only fair now. But it was a while ago now so maybe things have changed. I’m not in California either.
Bluehare,
I don’t know where you live, but I can only say what happened where I’m from, which is actually California, but it should be the same in most states at this point. They used to include new spouse income until ’94. After ’94 that changed and the courts only count the two bio-parents income, or the income ‘potential’ if one of the parents is not making as much money as they have the potential to (education, past income, etc.). I’m pretty sure it’s the same in other states, as most seem to agree with the new spouse income not being counted, and can’t all be from California.
I very much agree with what you said in your post about knowing about the guy/gal having children when you chose to get involved with them. In the end, it is a choice and one that can be very rewarding.
I suspect one of the reasons behind the change was that people in that situation just ended up refraining from marrying to avoid the issue.
prayforthewild, yep, this was in the mid 90’s so I guess it’s changed. I actually thanked the attorney who told me that (I knew about the kids) as it’s true. I wish more people could see that an exes children should be an important part of the new relationship. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as lucky. The ex spouse did a pretty good job of alienating the kids from both of us.
My sister is in Ca and her husband is a deadbeat dad of 2 children from his former wife and doesn’t work, my sister makes all the money.
Since they do joint income tax, the child support comes out of the tax refund
So my sister ends up paying ALL of his child support because the tax return gets taken by the govt.
LR may have a net worth of $20 million but is she responsible for child support payments? I mean if Eddie is making very little money… was he paying child support to Brandi? I’m not sure how it works once one parent goes and remarries. If he has served her with paperwork and it’s going through the courts I’m sure Brandi will keep us tweet-dated.
I think remarriage affects alimony but I don’t see how the new spouse would be expected to support the children. I may be wrong.
LA is NOT responsible for making child support payments, nor will her income figure into any child support calculations. This is between Eddie and Brandi and if she is the one making more money right now, she’ll have to pay up. If the situation were reversed and Brandi was married to a millionaire and Eddie was making money, the court wouldn’t suddenly say to Eddie, “Oh, your wife married well so you don’t have to make child support payments anymore.” He’d still be required to make those payments.
And didn’t I read somewhere that he and Leann have the boys most of the time?
They share 50/50 custody. They have them an equal amount.
They split custody 50/50. So Eddie won’t get anything. Brandi received child support in the past because she had no income and hadn’t in numerous years as a stay at home mom. There was a huge income disparity. In CA the vast majority of 50/50 custody cases see no support paid to either side since they have the kids the exact same amount of time. I live in California and know 3 different people with this custody arrangement and none pay or receive child support. Eddie also chooses to live the life of a kept man and not work. The courts don’t look kindly on parents who are completely capable of working but choose not to. Leann’s earnings cannot be counted towards Eddie’s income as she will never have a financial obligation to the kids in the eyes of the court. However, since he is married all the monthly expenses will be considered as shared and he can’t claim them as taking away from his monthly income. Like Brandi pays all of her household expenses by herself so she can claim that on her income and expense report. So although technically Leann’s money can’t be counted towards income it is in the sense that Eddie does not pay his mortgage, grocery bills, utilities, etc. Obviously Leann pays that stuff. If he’s going to try to come in and say he’s having a hard time paying his monthly living expenses thus the need for child support from Brandi well good luck with that Eddie. Hopefully he shows up to court fresh off one of their many vacations, which considering how often they do go on vacay is probably extremely likely. On another note I do have it in the back of my mind that if this is true then another reason he could be filing for it is that he’s leaving Leann. In that case, he would definitely need the money.
LeeAnn is in no way responsible for supporting the children. My daughter has a child by another man (at 16 – both were teens) and when child support is determined (in my state there is a formula that determines how much EACH parent pays) her husband’s money is not considered. While I don’t know the full situation, this should have all been worked out with the divorce. I know when I divorced, child support and custody were all settled at the time. Mine was pretty easy as the youngest was still in college (no child support except for help in paying for college). He may be having a review of the child support agreement as, depending on the state, is reviewed every so often. If he has no income, that does not mean she will pay any extra in child support as her amount is probably based on HER income. If her income has gone up, then yes her child support – if there is any – will most likely go up.
She’s not responsible, but because his wife is a multi-millionaire, lots of living expenses could be covered from her money since they’re married, so why does he have a hard time paying for child support out of what he does make? He’s not supporting himself on his own – he’s married to a multi-millionaire. Brandi doesn’t have a second person helping with her living expenses, so that’s where people see the imbalance. I’m not saying any of this is right or wrong, but I think that’s why people laugh at this request by Eddie.
@Claire, if Brandi was married to a millionaire and Eddie was single would you being saying this? Or would you expect Eddie to pay? They share these children 50/50 they are both financially responsible for these children. Brandi makes good money she needs to stop whining and playing the poor single mother! She isn’t and it is offensive to the real single mothers who are actually poor and really struggling work multiple real jobs not getting drunk and being racist on camera.
@Megan – I’m not Claire, but I’ll answer with my opinion. If Brandi was married to a millionaire, and wasn’t paying for her living expenses, then yes, I’d think she should pay Eddie.
She might make good money, but she’s also paying for all of her groceries, all of her transport, all of her mortgage/rent, all of her insurance, etc etc. Ed is paying for like none of that- there’s NO WAY he’s paying anywhere near a fair share for things. For him to be unwilling to pony up child support is petulant and ridiculous.
LOL where did you get $20 million? That is hysterical!
I DO NOT believe a word from this woman’s mouth.
The TRUE story is more than likely Cibrian is asking for support modification based on her increased income and in her mind it is equivalent to him demanding she pay child support.
On the other hand if her “version” is true, then haha. She tweets she has more jobs than JLo so she can pony up. Men are expected to do support all the time yet when women are called up to the plate, a collective sigh and gasp from pearl clutchers is heard because how dare a man ask for support. Double standards completely.
I, however, think Brandi is doing what she does best, seeking attention and stretching the truth.
This is the same woman who made a storyline about the Maloof’ s suing her when it was a FRIEND who received a letter from the Maloof’s and no suit was ever filed.
I guess we will see how valid her latest ploy at getting public sympathy and support is.
+1. I think you hit the nail right on the head.
She has a track record of truth distortion. She lets just enough in so she has plausible deniability if called on it. If people figure out she’s spun something to be much worse she can just say “Oh that was what I was told” or “That’s not what I meant.” and then deliver the actual facts.
I agree. Truth distortion, I like that term.
When Brandi isn’t flat-out lying, she engages in truth distortion.
The blind items from her book paint an ugly picture. And for what? Money? Great, if Brandi is not lying then this book is going to cost her child support $$ and, more importantly, her sons’ respect. She is not a bright woman.
She’s been playing fast and loose with the truth lately. The latest is that she’s saying her co-star on RHOBH, Lisa Vanderpump and her husband had filed for bankruptcy in the past. Lisa has stated that it wasn’t true and, If I remember correctly, there is no bankruptcy on record. Lisa has asked Brandi to retract the statement, but so far all Brandi has done was throw Kyle Richards under the bus by saying that Kyle told her the story and if there is no record of the bankruptcy, she doesn’t understand why Lisa and her husband care so much.
Dude what’s with you and Maloof situation? You do know that before she went on RHbh it was discussed on Dr. 90210, right?
I am NOT a dude so please do not refer to me as such and my comment about Adrienne had ZERO to do with the surrogacy reveal and everything to do with Brandi publicly declaring she was being sued by the Maloof’s when she was NOT being sued. The end.
Eliza, I think you need to chill. You have asked me questions about my comments and I have been perfectly nice to you. I tend to agree with you on most posts but just not this topic. I have seen you post about Maloof over and over again so I asked. I just will not read your comments anymore as you cannot converse with those who don’t agree with you or be polite.
Relli, tend to agree with you, ‘dude’. 😉
The LR supporters/ Brandi haters always tend to get aggressive in these threads. I think what is so disgusting about these allegations against Eddie (if they are true) is that without FleaAnn’s intrusion into B & E’s marriage, nobody would be paying child support at all. Ed is a cheating, ball-less, scrub.
@NC Magnolia!
I know right! Its so weird. I don’t get it at all!
I use the term “Dude “when talking to everyone even, my dad, its not meant to be a put down just the first thing that came to mind when I saw her comment.
eliza, DUDE don’t take yourself so seriously.
Yes I agree.
I’d say this is purposeful truth distortion to drum up publicity for book #2.
Bullseye
@Relli- no big deal if you or anyone else agree or disagree with me OR read my comments. I am not here trying to be populat.
You were the one who was rude to me when I stated an opinion that you did not agree with or really understand.
Enjoy your day.
Thank you! You have a wonderful day as well!
Count me in! I think you have her number.
The reason the Maloof’s lawyers sent out that letter to cease & desist was because Brandi talked about Adrienne using a surrogate to have the twins. They didn’t send it to just any ol’ ‘friend’ to have that friend tell Brandi to cease & desist talking about the surrogate. That doesn’t make any sense. The letter was to someone that had a legal relationship with Brandi so as to get Brandi notification that if she continued with talking about the surrogacy then she would get sued.
Personally, I don’t know what Adrienne thought she could sue Brandi over, since if the story is true, it wouldn’t be slander or libel. I don’t know if you can sue someone for getting an alleged secret out in the open, especially when it doesn’t hurt you financially nor physically. Can you sue over hurt feelings/emotional damage over this kind of thing?
You are absolutely correct. The Maloof lawyer sent a cease and desist which is a threat to sue. There is no reason why Brandi would NOT fear she was going to be sued because, after all, that is the entire point of the letter. Brandi was not lying as such but panicked about the true intent of the letter. If she had a good lawyer, as the Maloofs clearly did, he/she would have explained that there really were no grounds for a slander law suit as what Brandi had revealed was the truth.
The only way I can see them having a case to sue would be if Brandi had signed a NDA with them, which is highly unlikely.
eliza you are 100% correct, and the timing here tells me this is all about promoting Brandi’s new book.
All you need to do is drop the mic because you nailed it!!!!
Ya I tend to agree. I practiced family law for a while and a lot of clients freaked out in the same way – their ex’s would ask for modifications to child support arrangements based on income changes, and the clients would take it as if their ex’s are asking them for child support. Could be that EC no longer wants to pay child support – if BG’s income is higher than his, then that could be very legitimate.
Eddie has income?! LMAO
Eliza, it’s obvious by your comments that you never gone through this force or custody battle. Especially when your husband cheated on you. Don’t talk about things you know nothing about.
This is a gossip site. Eliza can comment on any aspect of this story that she wants to.
Yes, no one should ever talk about things they have not personally experienced. Now you have never been Eliza, so I guess you should stop talking about her.
*massive eyeroll*
And I don’t believe a word out of eddiot the douchebags mouth! Brandi is much more honest than Ediot or horseman
I don’t know what to think. On one hand, Eddie isn’t bringing in much money. But he’s married to L.R., so isn’t her money counted as his? How could he possibly get child support? Oh, these people are exhausting.
Maybe he has plans to leave if he gets the support? I don’t know but you’re right, these people are exhausting and ridiculous.
That was my thought too! If he wants to leave, he knows he can’t house them anywhere near as well as he does now. If this would work to get LeAss out of Brandi and Eddie’s kids lives …..
I think it will depend where the children live. If they spend the majority of time with Eddie, Brandi has to contribute regardless of his and Leann’s income. I’m not sure we have enough facts here.
Eddie and Brandi have a 50/50 joint legal and physical custody agreement.
I think her finances ARE struggling. She’s using her money towards the production of like every project, and is majorly struggling to sign a new deal.
I know a step-parent isn’t legally obligated to pay for any of the child’s expenses, but their income should be taken into the cost of living of the spouse. I highlyyyy doubt Eddie is paying an equal share of mortgages, and other living expenses. If he’s being a kept man, then his ‘spare’ income should count towards what he’s able to pay for support.
I also recall Ed and his friends telling Brandi to go flip burgers so she’d have a job. Now that it’s on the other foot, guess it’s a completely different ballgame. If he can’t get an acting job, then find something else and support your children.
THIS. I think this is exactly what is going on. Leann doesn’t show up for concerts half the time so making money on a “tour” isn’t happening. Not only that when she does show up the venues are never sold out and ticket prices are low. Her last few albums have completely flopped. She’s been vacationing her ass off for the last 5 years and spoiling her boy toy. Let’s not forget the settlement she gave Dean in the divorce which is rumored to be in the 8 digits. She also supports her mother and “bonus daddy” and Eddie’s parents. So when you add that all up its pretty clear she’s not bringing much money in.
Spouse’s income is not considered in determining support award…strictly the parent’s income is considered. So Brandi is making more money than Eddie, so his support will be modified.
I get that. It’s just stupid that one person doesn’t have the living expenses that the other does, and it doesn’t matter.
SPOT ON!
LR has been spending money like it grows on trees, and has very little coning in. Musicians make most of their money touring – and we all know how successful that’s been for her, and she would have been responsible for the production of her last album which was an utter failure, but also an expensive one. Further, Dean would have gotten a ton of money in that divorce, and factor in the vacations, te cars, the shopping trips, and of course paying her team and any taxes, and she really could be staring at bankruptcy.
And I am always skeptical about any site that gives a celebrity’s worth like that – all it really is is some intern adding up whatever gross income numbers they can find, or basing it on total albums sold and shows performed. They never take into account real life things like taxes, manager’s percentages, recouping production costs, and they nclude estimated worth of assets. Because I can guarantee you Leann Rimes does NOT have $20 million in her bank account.
And
Leann has become savvy enough to use other twitter accounts to attack. Driving Brandi out of her mind seems to be a pastime for EC/LR, and demanding money from her after going on three or four vacations this year alone is unbelievable. Brandi has been pretty quiet about what’s going on behind the scenes, but at some point, she loses it. She just handles things in the wrong way, but is basically still being bullied by people who blew her life apart and still want to take her down.
I think the amount of vacations this time has to do with shooting their stupid reality show that is a flop at home since they are so dull. So they are having to extend shooting and take more vacations to make the show seem exciting. It will still flop.
Hawaii, maybe, but Puerto Rico and Miami? However, I am no insider so I don’t know for sure. What I will say is that both Eddie and Leann walk around in custom design clothing, drive expensive cars and have personal assistants. They were on endless vacations prior to this year and throwing expensive parties. Eddie refuses to work and Leann cancels concerts all the time. Not wanting to work is not the same as not being able to.
Jayna, that about sums it up!
Yup, it’s really a very difficult situation when someone feels it’s necessary to constantly get under your skin for no reason other than to be cruel and controlling. And because B has the emotional stability of a teenager she falls apart. But I have seen stronger woman fall to this divorce/custody drama and it cost them their careers and sanity. I don’t wish this sort of drama on even my worst enemy, it brings uo the worst in people.
she sure is. LR has her Irene Sybil account doing all her dirty work. This acct is def. run by LR and I believe DB or Kiki. but she interjected into the convo about support with this.

.@BrandiGlanville Makes sense as he supplies lots of material for your role on #RHOBH & content of your book. He may as well get paid for it
how do all of you know that acct is run by LR? I just searched both LR and BG on twitter and looks like there are crazy people on both sides with accounts dedicated to this stuff – literally thousands of tweets either dissing/scrutinizing BG or LR.
Some of those people constantly dissing LR actually come across like the biggest LR stans ever with the way they seem to know about every detail of her life.
It doesn’t matter what he or his wife has for money. If the children live with him, Brandi has to contribute. I don’t know where those kids actually live but does she think that because he has a nice car and a nice house, she doesn’t have to provide for her own children? If custody is shared, it can change things but her children are still at least partly her responsibility financially.
They split custody. If anything I think the kids spend more time with Brandi than Eddie. She does plenty already to provide for her kids. Eddie is the one who left her high & dry in the beginning.
Left her high and dry and laughed the whole time. He is just icky.
See, split custody changes things. Usually, if both parties make enough to pay for their own expenses regarding the children (mortgage, utility bills, everyday essentials), and I would imagine that is the case here, it would follow that no support is paid either way (save health insurance, sports, music lessons etc) so I’m not sure we have all the facts here. Whether he left her high and dry is irrelevant. Child support payments aren’t punishment.
@Marigold I’m not sure if you know much about this situation but when I said he left her high and dry I was referring to leaving her with very little money when they split up. At the time, she had no income and was forced to move out of their home because he refused to pay. So if anybody has been not contributing to the kids well being, it’s Eddie not Leann.
Marigold, in my experience 50/50 custody doesn’t mean that child support isn’t ordered. Usually the higher earner still has to pay because support is supposed to normalize the standard of living in both homes.
@BendyWindy, I think I explained that in my response. If certain circumstances exist, no support is ordered. If she is financially able to meet the needs of her children at her home half the time and he is financially able to meet their needs at his home half the time, no support would be ordered.
@mrsb, I do understand what you’re saying. But it’s irrelevant. The court doesn’t care about high and dry unless he owes her back support, which doesn’t seem to be the case here.
He pays child support to her. Her remark doesn’t make sense, that he’s asking for child support from her. She never mentions the child support she gets from him, that he is trying to stop it. I think she has exaggerated what he wants. He probably wants to do away with his child support now that she makes so much and that they are responsible for their own expenses since they share equal custody, and split the cost of fixed expenses like medical insurance, schooling, braces, etc., for the children.
If he’s trying to get child support from her, I would imagine the judge would shut him down since he is lazy and barely works, letting LeAnn support him. That doesn’t fly with judges, someone healthy not working for long periods of time. Go get a job, any job, to take care of obligations. I guess he will use the excuse he’s been shooting that God awful reality show for six months or better known as the LeAnn and Eddie Vacation Tour.
Remember that this is a man who “bought” LeAnn an 80,000 engagement ring and then cried poverty and had his child support reduced, forcing Brandi and the boys to move. He’s probably paid little or nothing for quite a while now. Regardless of her many screw-ups, Brandi ‘s worked really hard to improve her living situation. Eddie’s been happy to follow LeAnn around and she couldn’t handle him filming on location for fear of his wandering peepee. His work limitations and lack of earning potential are all self imposed. When the LeAnn and Eddie Vacation Tour, as you have so aptly named it, bombs, what on earth is left for him? Does he really think that filming a reality show, featuring him taking a dozen vacations a year and then asking for child support is going to go over well? Either they are strapped for cash in a major way or he’s being vindictive. Either way, he’s making himself look even douchier, if that’s possible.
@Deanne: or, option #3, Brandi is lying.
I think E! has said that EC is asking for child support but the lawyers have advised everyone to shut up. I don’t think Brandi would put that out there because it’s easy to find out if it’s true or not.
I’m curious, how would E! know that Cibrian is asking for child support? Court papers?
I thought LeAnn was worth more. Regardless, in most places the new spouse’s income is not taken into account for child support calculations, only the income of the two bio parents. Eddie doesn’t seem to work much, while Brandi is doing shows, podcasts and books. I don’t think he’s doing anything wrong here. In my experience with normal people this usually benefits the bio mom, whose new spouse’s income doesn’t affect her child support. I think Eddie will take flack because people are always really witchy about men who receive child support (see commentary about Gabriel Aubry), but to me it is the other side of the equality coin.
Look, if my kids’ father had written not one but two books taking digs at me…it’s not gonna fly for long. She can’t make money off of his name in that manner and not expect him to retaliate. Enough is enough. Maybe it’s petty of him, but it was petty of her to include him (“it’s her story TOO!”…blech…spare me) in the second installment.
And if he needs the dough, then by all means he should request it now that she is making the most money.
U Took a snapshot of my thoughts 🙂
Everything else aside… if HE needs the money?? Child support is supposed to be for the kids, isn’t it? And if he can’t get acting or modeling jobs, then he should go back to school or find a way to earn a living. He doesn’t pay for a car, a home, etc, while Brandi does. He CAN get a job, he just chooses not to.
Yes. If HE needs the money for his kids. The kids don’t get to handle the money, directly at least, when child support is disbursed.
I’m not saying he does need it, I have no idea; I acknowledged it was all petty. But, Brandi is an idiot for the way she invited this in.
Ok, now I see how you meant it. Can’t figure out what the child support would be for except schooling, clothes, food…. I would say no child support for either party. Just keep it simple and once less thing to have to battle for. But I can’t figure out what he’d need money for, as he doesn’t pay for anything in his life and Brandi pay for her house, car, etc.
The bottom line is that the parents are responsible for the kids (decisions, money, etc.).
And he needs to get a job. A real job. Or at least have his earning potential taken into consideration.
Good point. He’s an able bodied youngish man. If acting isn’t working out, find a real job like the thousands before you have had to do.
He is requesting for a modification. She better learn how to understand court documents.
She more than enough money to pitch in to take care of her kids now. Both of them can care for the kids.
Brandi, own up to your half now that you have money. You spending money on fancy items then you crying about he wants a modification, you working now so contribute.
LR money isn’t going to be touched, her handlers making sure of that.
So when did you get to see the actual court documents that give you such great insight as to what is actually going on and what he’s actually asked for? He’s a POS husband and Father. Living off the backs of two women wouldn’t be a stretch for him at all. Brandi pays her own bills and they split 50/50 custody. Do you actually think that Eddie’s been fully supporting her? He went to court to make her pay back child support when he spent 80,000 on a ring for LeAnn and he never works, so any child support he had been paying her would be minuscule. She contributes daily. He’s the one taking bi-weekly vacations. He told Brandi to get a job flipping burgers when he left her penniless, maybe he should take his own advice.
Again, we all know he never paid for that ring. LeAnn paid for her own ring. As if he has 80,000 laying around. LOL
Deanne,
I happen to work in the 2 industries so there are things I know for sure. I won’t comment unless I know certain information.
Not everyone who comments on these sites (cele, necolebitchie, etc) are commoners.
Don’t ASSume what I know and don’t know.
Like I said LR handlers will not allow that to happen…
This is directed toward “Simply Red”. I am just a Commoner – my observation is that LR handlers have been woefully inept. I don’t see a comeback or redemption from here.
+1
What baffles me is that the dude doesn’t seem to have to contribute to living costs. He seems to be a kept man. There’s no way with his earnings, that he’s paying equal amounts to the mortgage and things of that nature, and being able to afford any real portion of these constant vacations he’s on. So if that’s the case, shouldn’t the fact that he has less expenses be taken into consideration? Brandi is paying for a home for the kids, and everything within that home as a single parent so to speak.
he has jobs. best man holiday tyler, perry movies. lifetime. tv shows. he can work and does to some degree
True, snakecharmer, but the movie parts are small (except for the lifetime one), which I can’t imagine paid very well. And even the lifetime movie (5 years ago?) probably didn’t pay all that well. So I really doubt he’s contributing much to his household.
Didn’t read this-don’t care about this lady’s sob story. I’m here because one of my girls informed me that a discussion happened on this board yesterday and someone suggested that it was Common that Brandi claims to have slept with.
First of all, it’s not. Not my man, because he has WAY better taste than that.
Secondly, political aspirations? Since when? Tattoos? I don’t think so right (or am I wrong?) ?
I do believe he has a huge dong though because when I saw him at the HoB on my birthday, he was wearing tight pants and dude was packing.
Anyway, the sexiest man on the planet would not bone Brandi. No way. No how.
…and can I just add that he puts on an AMAZING live performance? Dude came onstage straight break dancing like a pro AND he can freestyle like nobody else.
…aaaand now I’m back to seclusion.
Carry on with your discussion of Cat Face, ladies.
Ha, OKitt I kinda love that you came on here only to defend him (I refuse to believe this bs)
No, no seclusion! Come back. I wondered what happened to you. Why the self-imposed time out?
She’s busy with a new “man”. She’ll be back. 😜
Oh nice. Good to hear.
“only” $20mil?
I realize that it’s a lot of money to most regular folks, but I would have thought that Rimes was worth a WHOLE lot more than that. She’s been selling records since was…what, 12 or 13? and those were HUGE sellers, so where’s it all gone?
oh, wait, I know.
Exactly. “Love” is expensive.
Keeping up men since the teenage years is probably expensive. Porsches, watches, big boy toys, etc., aren’t cheap.
I highly doubt its anywhere near that. Probably under 5m if even that. They’ve been funding their own production on everything. do you think if she had that kind of money she would be using an Iphone to film her videos and show?
Nobody knows how much money any of them has, so it is all conjecture. Brandi is an annoying, self pitying idiot and frankly I see why Cibrian left her. Who could LIVE with her? Feel sorry for the children.
I highly doubt that LeAnn is worth 20 million.
Legally a step parent doesn’t have to provide for her step kids regardless of how much money she has or not. I’m almost positive that LeAnna does however front all of the money for the kids on Eddie’s behalf (and I think she genuinely cares for them somehow). Brandi makes at least twice what Eddie makes now which will more than likely decrease what he has to give her in child support, if not make her pay him instead.
Aside from that Brandi is literally riding that crazy train hard. Girl needs help stat.
Child support in California is calculated by a formula. If you want to see how it works go to the California CSE website and check out the Child Support Calculator. The calculator takes the Father income, the Mothers income and the percent of time each parent has the children and then calculates a CS amount. Step parent income is not counted. If both parents have 50/50 custody and make equal salary then no CS changes hands. If they have 50/50 and one makes more money it results in the higher income parent owing the lesser income parent CS. For example: Hypothetically if Brandi made $1 million last year and Eddie made $500,000 the calculator says Brandi would owe Eddie somewhere in the range of $3,000 a month. Now, the law may say a parent is legally obligated for a certain amount of CS but the receiving parent can agree to accept a smaller amount if they want. Just like the paying parent can pay more if they want. Sometimes it helps to play nice between the parents to work this stuff out. Brandi calling Leann a cuntry star and making fun of them giving the boys things probably wasn’t a smart idea given that she had to know her income went up and Eddie’s went down.
People were all crowing when Eddie lost his Playboy tv series. Lots of karma comments. Just Say Jenn (which people seem to take for gospel) insinuates Eddie has had lots of auditions but no jobs have resulted. He’s not WILLFULLY unemployed, apparently he has been auditioning a lot. The funny thing with getting what they wanted in regards to Eddie not being able to get or hold a job is that it comes back to bite Brandi in terms of CS. Sometimes revenge isn’t all it it cracked up to be.
That said, I think the fairest thing would be for no CS to change hands and each pays their own expenses for the kids.
WHAT!!! “Sometimes it helps to play nice between the parents to work this stuff out”???? When LeAss is totally too involved in the co-parenting?? LeAss hasn’t played nice from the get go. She and her minions have been in Brandi’s face from the beginning and continue to do so. We don’t know half of what Brandi is going through with this witch and her “prize” pig of a husband. He knows what LeAss has been doing and has not put his foot down and put a stop to it! And Eddie is not WILLFULLY unemployed?? For one thing he cannot act but for another it has been stated that as long as LeAss is in his life chances are good he won’t get anything else but bit parts. Maybe HE should get a job flipping burgers but then I could see LeAss would be sitting in the joint watching his every move like she did with the Playboy gig!!
Right, he certainly can flip burgers. Put that $40,000 a year in the CS calculator with Brandi’s half million plus salary and see how far that gets Brandi. Maybe she only owes $2800 then. The only thing that will help is if Eddie can get a good paying job in a movie or tv series. But people talk so badly about Eddie and Leann, seriously who is going to hire him for their show? Both sides contributed to this bad press and now this is what happens.
@someone–And why are people talking so badly about Eddie and LeAnn? Humm–could it possibly be because LeAss couldn’t just win her “prize” husband and keep her mouth shut and enjoy herself? No she had to be all up in Brandi’s face and flaunt their relationship to the hilt. If she had just laid low for a while and left Brandi alone, we wouldn’t be criticizing the two of these losers!! Then maybe they would still have careers! Too late now for that!
He has a college degree, I believe. I’m not sure what it is in, but couldn’t he go back to school or get a job based on his degree? Maybe something to do with sports or working out since it seems to be an interest?
It amazes me how anyone could side with a man who publically humilated his wife all for the sake of money. You have to be brain dead to not know he’s using this as another attempt to bring Brandi down. Why? There’s no reason why he should ask for child support when he lives in a manison, drives luxury vehicles and vacations every other week. He lives off LeAnn and could work but chooses not too. What reason could he not be working even if it is behind the scenes on a TV show?
Granted he isn’t a great actor but he could work. It amazes me how people have told Brandi to go flip burgers to support her kids but Eddie can’t. When is enough…enough. I don’t blame Brandi one bit for lashing out pubically. While he is yet on another vacation somewhere in Puerto Rico she’s actually working and dealing with this latest mess.
I believe he knows his career is ruined (due to his current wife) and is trying to secure his future with alimony payments and child support. A divorce is on the horizon and this is just the beginning of the craziness.
“It amazes me how people have told Brandi to go flip burgers to support her kids but Eddie can’t.”
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder who is paying his lawyers? I have no idea what is going on, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s getting his soft landing in place at someone else’s (actually two people’s) expense. We’ll have to watch this play out.
People are siding with the law. And many of us do and want it applied equally across the board so that some innocent parent that needs the money to help cloth, house and feed their child/children isn’t screwed out of it because of some loophole a bunch of white trash dlisters created.
I wish all three would drive off a cliff, but regardless of how I feel about these three losers the law is the law, and I will be damned if they create loop holes that hurt others because they are all selfish assholes.
I’m glad this calculator has been mentioned. It’s the same in Canada, province to province and is also accessible online. The fact that Eddie is not working by choice though will be taken into consideration. If acting jobs aren’t working out, he can find something else. The other ex-spouse can’t be held financially responsible for someone who chooses not to work.
You are right Gia. If a person isn’t working they can impute income to them based on what they previously earned. However there is a pretty good likelyhood Eddie will never make what he used to make. The big fight here will be what to consider Eddie’s “reasonable” income to be. Also, I’m sure Brandi’s lawyers will point out her income is flexible year to year. She may not get another book advance. It’s a shame how long this will take to settle and the lawyers fees they’ll both pay.
Thank you “someone” who wrote: “Child support in California is calculated by a formula…” for an intelligent comment.
Eddie used to work on a fairly regular basis before he was stupid enough to take up with Leann. Leann’s career was already stalled but this homewrecking stuff absolutely finished her off. Public opinion of Eddie is so low (and even lower for Leann) that I really think Eddie isn’t getting jobs mostly because of his crappy reputation. He’s not a great actor by any means but like I said he always booked jobs fairly regularly before all this. If he split from Leann he might have a chance to get back in the game. I still think there’s a chance that he’s leaving and that is the biggest reason he may be filing for child support.
Totally agree with everything you said!!
If he is asking for child support then I have less respect for him than ever. He’s got a roof over his head, food, water, his kids live in a mansion with every toy imaginable and they vacation every other month it seems like. Choosing to be a Google is different than not being able to find a job. I doubt he’s filed for unemployment or anything.
If Brandi had a new husband and was living in a plush mansion, not working, would we all be screaming that Eddie shouldn’t have to pay child support for his children? No, everyone would be shouting how they are his children and he should support them, regardless of what their new stepfather had.
My sister is far more successful than her deadbeat ex-husband. She has a nice house, a good job, a new car, and a boyfriend who makes money and pays for things. Does that mean her ex-husband shouldn’t have to pay child support for his three children? My sister was the one who left the marriage, does that absolve him of any financial responsibility towards his children?
I don’t like any of these crazy people but just because Eddie has nice cars and vacations doesn’t mean that the financial responsibility for the children shouldn’t be equal, especially considering they have 50/50 custody.
If Brandi sat on her ass all day doing nothing and just followed her rich hubby around like a pathetic little puppy then I would not argue that Eddie has to pay support to her.
I think his claim to CS is bullshit. He clearly has enough money to not work more than 7 days out of the year. And of course Brandi makes more income than him, he makes nothing because he refuses to get a job! he has been unemployed by his own choice for almost a year!
YET, Look at his lifestyle compared to Brandi’s. He doesn’t NEED a paycheck from her. Her lifestyle is nowhere near his level. I thinks its totally unfair that she has to support him because he hides his $$ and refuses to work to support his kids. Its a choice he made to not work and he thinks Brandi should support him too? I think Brandi needs to go for full custody and make HIM pay for child support. Eddie get a job you loser!
If the boys are living fulltime with the father than she is by law to pay child support to Eddie.
The court cannot use LeeAnn’s income as she is not the biological mother.
If Brandi, who is a hot mess right now, has the boys fulltime again than Eddie would be paying her child support based only on his income.
It is plain and simple when it comes to child support.
NavyMom
BS! they share the custody 50-50!
Allegedly cheating? Lol. Isnt that a foregone conclusion?
I dont know if EC wants child support or not, but he has the right to ask for it as a 50% custodial parent. I dont have a hard time believing it at all. My niece’s bio dad filed so much bs with the courts, a judge ordered him to pay her mom’s legal fees and told him to stop harassing her. Thankfully, he eventually got bored of using my niece as a pawn to piss off her mother. But he felt he was completely right to drag her to court every couple months.
This. I have seen it up close and personal how people use the courts and their children as pawns to get at the other parent. Its sick and sad. Lesson learned, be careful of who you have children with.
Well, that answers a question i’ve been asking here on CB since I started commenting on the Brandi threads vis a vis Brandi having to pay Eddie since she’s making money these days and he doesn’t seem to be.
Brandi is a hot mess. She should be keeping these things private. However, she never mentioned anything about Leann just Eddie so for all the sites pointing out Leann’s worth is digging into more than what is really going on. I don’t think that it is Leann’s responsibility to take care of the kids. Eddie needs to get off his lazy ass and get a job.
If they have 50/50 custody neither one should be paying child support.
Doesn’t always work that way in real life. My husband’s parents had 50/50 custody and his dad paid child support to his mom. (Also in CA, albeit 20+ years ago.)
What kind of person is Eddie Cibrian?
He couldn’t afford his house payment or child support but was lavishing gifts and vacations on his mistresses while Brandi, his wife, was 9 months pregnant.
Eddie left his wife completely broke and without a home to marry his stalker who is now almost broke due in part to Eddie’s gambling habits.
In the past year, Eddie has vacationed first class in Europe, Asia, and Hawaii but now wants Brandi to pay him child support.
While Brandi has pulled herself up by her Prada straps to make a good life for her children, Eddie’s entire career the past 3 years was to appear on the movie screen for 12 minutes in a third rate movie.
Now that his stalker wife, LeAnn, who sued a school teacher with 4 handicapped children can’t get a music deal, Eddie needs to find another female ATM.
I hope Republic Records is paying attention because with baggage like this, nobody wants LeAnn or Eddie in their stable……….pass the feed bag please.
**nods along**
I don’t know how Leann Rimes could have any money left. She hasn’t made millions a year in many, many years but has continued to spend like she does. Eventually that pot runs dry. My guess is (a) either this is hype for the Leann/Eddie show that they are trying to get Brandi riled up and provoked good so they can talk about it on their “show” or (b) Eddie has left or is leaving Leann and needs Brandi’s money to support himself or (c) he and Leann are truly almost broke and trying to come up with various ways to gather up some monthly cash. Whatever scenario it is just shows once again what a sorry, arrogant POS he really is. No real Father that is interested in effective co-parenting or interested in his kids having a happy, stress free life at both homes would do this to the ex-wife. He and Leann have done everything to make Brandi’s life as miserable as they can. He never dreamt that she would be able to pick up the pieces and go to work where she would have a voice and could tell what POS both he and Leann are. I say good for her that she has been able to give her children a comfortable home even though Eddie left her destitute and homeless, regardless of what she has said they have it coming and more.
Hoping it’s option b! Totally agree with your comment!! He a lousy husband, ex-husband, father and human being!
she is totally promoting her new book. That is all this is.
Brandi is not lying. I knew Eddie would pull this bullshit the minute she got her job on RHOBH. Eddie is bitter and miserable and extremely vindictive. He knew she was about to buy a house which has been her dream from day 1. Every bit of money earned she has saved for this house. Now she’s spending it on a lawyer to fight this ass clown in court. Don’t think for one second Leann isn’t backing him up in all this. She’s paying his attorney fees. Every move they have made has been calculated by putting everything either under her name or in their crappy company’s name. Eddie lives in a mansion, drives luxury cars, goes on vacations first class. The boys don’t go without anything. He barely pays anything now and is now asking Brandi? She has worked hard for everything she has because she had to. He wanted her broke and destitute. If Brandi had a man with money she would not have cared as much if Eddie couldn’t pay but that’s not what happened. Eddie will forever try to make Brandi pay for kicking him out and for letting the world know what she went through. He should blame his psycho wife for publisizing his affair from the very beginning. Brandi would love to move on but these 2 assholes won’t let her.
I feel for her. Eddie, using Leann’s $$ and lawyers, is totally abusing the legal system to harrass Brandi. How can we live in a world where a man can cheat on his wife, infect her with an STD, leave her for his mistress, and sue the mother of his children for child support because he refuses to get a job? The kicker is he lives in a million dollar mansion and his kids have everything when they are with him. Sad world we live in. Brandi needs to get full custody and play hardball. Its not the time to play nice with him.
Please tell Brandi that owning a house is not all it’s cracked up to be. Seriously. I know from experience. We dreamed of buying, did get something small, and now can neither sell nor move. It sucks. That aside, I hope they hand his butt to him in court and that it’s true that he and Leann are tapped out. I wonder what he will say to his sons one day. The blame belongs on him, but he will never accept it.
Ditto to this! Believe me I couldnt wait to own my home and now 11 yrs later I realized that buying a home was the biggest mistake of my life. Im still there but barely. Home ownership is truly over-rated. I loved it the 1st cpl yrs but then when your taxes go up, oil goes up, repairs are needed…etc. You really dont know broke and stuck until you’re in a home and want to leave but cant get out of it what you put into it. Only good thing is a tax credit for the taxes but even that isnt much.
I srsly hope BG’s lawyers are made aware of their co. and everything with it b/c I dont doubt that LR is behind this as much as him. If she has a lawyer worth their price they should bring this to light and also how they’re trying to manipulate the system.
Tax credit barely anything anymore. I know dealing with landlords sucks, but being stuck someplace and having to constantly be responsible for the things always going wrong….. I would sell in a heartbeat if I could FIND anyone.
Jezi, can you say whether he is just asking for a reduction, thereby asking Brandi to pay more equally towards kids’ costs? Or, is he actually asking her to start paying him child support straight out? There’s definitely a distinction there, but I understand if you can’t say! 🙂
That’s my question too.
If he is asking not only for termination of child support to her but then she begin paying to him they have just ruined any rehabilitation in the public eye they have gained from Brandi’s fall in popularity with many fans tired of her and her antics. The hate wasn’t so strong on them anymore and with the right publicist guiding them on keeping quiet could have regained popularity and jobs. But if this is true and he actually is asking for her to pay him child support, they have just driven the final nail in their coffin for their careers and public perception. If it’s just him asking for no child support and each responsible for the children’s costs equally that’s a different animal.
Yes – Jezi – good friend that you are why don’t you tell this gossip board Brandi’s private legal dealings ? Oh. I see that you did downstream. Wow.
I’m surprised it took him this long. I thought he would do it after the success of the first book. Douche bag.
If Eddie was out every day looking for any kind of sustainable work and selling off his boats, cars, jewelry, or not lounging around on first class vacations or throwing what money he has away on booze, gambling, and women, he might be entitled to child support.
As it is, Eddie is a free-loader, who will manipulate people and take whatever he can get to suite his slothful ways. Why would any family court judge reward this waste of humanity by granting him money from someone who earned it? When it comes to the expression “Man-Up”, Eddie’s only response is to get an erection.
*standing ovation*
*fist pump*
OMG this drives me crazy. I have no respect for any of these losers however, LeAnne’s money is NOT A FACTOR. She has no financial obligations to those children, and the court cannot look at her income when determining child support!!!!!!
Most states (Californians tell me if this doesn’t apply) child support is determined by the amount of time spent and parental income. So if you’re 50/50 whoever makes more pays child support, its the law. Brandi could be making more then Eddie, so this is within the bounds of the law.
Brandi is a liar, so I am not sure she isn’t making this up because her Q rating is rapidly dropping with every hateful racist comment and lie she tells. Sorry but I find this interesting it came out right after she got crap for what happened on RHOBH. For all we know Eddie has taken her to court to get her to pay her FAIR share of their education, or something.
Final point if the situations were reversed and Brandi was married to a rich man and Eddie was single reality star, would people be outraged if Brandi wanted child support?
She is becoming more and more disgusting on RHOBH, the way she is turning on Lisa is beyond transparent and sad. I think Brandi’s true character is coming out strong, and it’s not pretty. The blog on RHOBH is receiving majority negative responses. Brandi is very disappointing I must say.
She is saying no more on the custody because her attorney shut her up. But on a side note, LeAnn’s twitter has been quiet for days now. No big tweeting of her great weekend in Miami, no mention of Eddie flying down and photos of them, as he was supposed to be there too. I am beginning to wonder if Eddie left her and why he filed for modification of his child support, or maybe their publicist has her on lockdown as far as tweeting again. I don’t know, but very strange.
Jayna, it’s a TV show. Pat likes to watch Pawn Stars and other “reality” shows, and I’m like, you do realize they’re not real, don’t you? That they’re setting up situations? How much danger can ice truckers be in when there are people with cameras and cell phones right there? Maybe bits and pieces of the players are in there, but “reality” shows push drama for ratings. I don’t think it’s doing Brandi any favors beyond paying her and I think she should show the side we all relate to and talk about raising boys, where to get cute and cheap boys’ clothing, cooking, makeup, etc. The persona she is pushing doesn’t work for her.
She’s tweeting as irene sybil
Yeah, but Lisa stans are some of the craziest out there. They are about on par with Teresa stans. I have issues with some of the things Brandi has done, but Lisa is no angel. Everyone seems to have a problem with Lisa, even before Brandi ever came on the show.
Jayna I asked this question on Twitter yesterday….People seem to believe Lisa is this perfect person. No faults. But what is strange to me is why are her castmates turning on her if she’s such a genuine friend? Honestly, if people are saying the same thing about your character it means there is some truth behind it. Lisa’s got a few skeletons and soon it will be revealed.
My response to anyone with children is that you need to be able to support them. Leann may not have to pay for those kids, but if they’re living in a mansion, going on 3 vacations within two months, and driving a Range Rover, why do they need Brandi to pay them? Eddie hasn’t worked in years, but he’s in Mexico, Hawaii, Aspen, Puerto Rico…. how about using all that free time to earn a living? I have a relative who has two kids from two dads and couldn’t support them. She ended up married and having two more kids with her husband. If they split up, she couldn’t support all those kids and I always told her that being a parent means being able to support the kids you choose to bring into this world. Child support is not for the adults.
Brandi has multiple $4000 bags and $1300 shoes, why does she need child support, because it is the LAW! Also a lot of those “vacations” are for his reality show, so its work just like Brandi going to PR, NY, Mexico etc. Also Eddie has worked he hasn’t’ had a great job but he’s worked.
The law is the law, LeAnne is a non factor and I guarantee you’d be all over a man if they didn’t pay their legally determined fair child support because the wife had a rich husband. You also don’t know what he is doing with the money. Maybe he doesn’t want LeAnne to pay for stuff for them, maybe he just wants Brandi to split the cost of their education. There is nothing to say this isn’t for his kids. We have a liars word for something and that isn’t much.
Regardless of what I think the laws are the laws and they need to be followed. If we don’t apply them equally then eventually everyone will get out of having follow various laws.
Megan: If you watch the show, one of the other hags [MCFR] outed Brandi’s bags as borrowed. She was trying to humiliate Brandi, but Yo came to the rescue. [season 3]. People on reality shows get alot of free swag just like movie/tv stars or they borrow it. I wouldn’t conclude that they are wealthy simply by looking at them or the labels they wear because most of it is smoke and mirrors and or rented.
No it wasn’t outed as fake or borrowed she was trying to imply that but the fact we see her walking around town with said $4000 bags tells you she owns them. Also reality stars don’t get that kind of swag. Chanel and LV don’t send swag to Dlisters, neither does Louboutin, and if anyone thinks they do then they know nothing about fashion or how it works. Chanel/Louboutin doesn’t want to be associated with this kind of trash.
However, whatever Brandi spends on bags, shoes and fillers isn’t the point the point is the LAW! The law is the law, if Eddie is entitled to the money or a reduction of support paid he is entitled to that. Since Brandi is a freaking liar I am willing to bet that he wants a few modifications and she is trying to play the poor victim card.
I understand what you’re saying in terms of her belongings. I don’t watch TV, so I don’t know what she does and doesn’t wear or have (happy with my old flicks on Netflix). However, it is your right to feel she’s a liar. Everything I have seen and read points to Eddie and Leann lying as easily as breathing, so I’m disinclined to believe them. I would be all over anyone who owes child support, but I believe Eddie has not paid his. Nor do I understand why he suddenly wants child support from her. From what I’ve seen, he’s worked very little, so that is the only reason I can think of.
And, just want to add: you don’t go at a single mom (or dad for that matter) who is completely paying her (his) own way. Eddie doesn’t have to pay rent or mortgage or for his car; he lives off his wife. So he should be able to pay for his kids at the very least.
Megan: there are agencies that you can borrow high end accessories from including LV and Chanel. It’s a dirty secret, but it happens. Movie stars are first pic for the more exclusive brands to receive directly from those brands, but *reality stars also receive swag or they borrow it from agencies that specialise in this type of thing. as an example, here are a few companies that do this:
https://www.renttherunway.com/release/rentrunwayletsyouborrowtheirclothes
http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/
* not every reality star. There is a hierachy of stars even in that world. So a Farrah Abrahams would never ever get anything whilst a Kim K would receive loads of stuff.
The specific episode i’m talking about in season 3, MCFR told Brandi that ‘having a borrowed Chanel didn’t make her a lady’ the camera cut to the bag Brandi was carrying in that scene.
RHOBH is a tv show. The stuff she deals with Eddie and Leann is her real life. I wish people would stop thinking that RHOBH is who she is. Everything on that show is for drama. It’s how she makes a living. Yes the stuff she says sometimes is stupid but none of you really know her personally. And honestly just because she acts like an ass sometimes doesn’t mean she deserves the crap she was handed by her ex husband and that bitch he married.
Most people understand RHOBH is created drama but getting people excited is good for the ratings. Brandi, is a stand-up gal and things look good for her. Seems her new book is doing very well. Hope your little ones are full of health and happiness. Luv ya.
My babies are doing well. My lil one is nearly 4 months now. He’s so fun. Luv ya girl.
And her books, behavior on talk shows and RHOBH tells me there isn’t’ a single nice good thing about her. She isn’t on a scripted show, she has been proven over and over to be a liar.
Sorry she isn’t the only person that has been cheated on, yes Leanne and Eddie have done some crap to her but she is not some victim she has done crap to them as well.
IMO based on how she has used, lied and social climbed only to slander those who have supported her, I think her Karma is hitting her and she deserves it. Eddie can’t book jobs and that has been his karma, LeAnne’s records tanked her karma. Time for Brandi to get hers because she is not a good person.
That’s my question too.
If he is asking not only for termination of child support to her but then she begin paying to him they have just ruined any rehabilitation in the public eye they have gained from Brandi’s fall in popularity with many fans tired of her and her antics. The hate wasn’t so strong on them anymore and with the right publicist guiding them on keeping quiet could have regained popularity and jobs. But if this is true and he actually is asking for her to pay him child support, they have just driven the final nail in their coffin for their careers and public perception. If it’s just him asking for no child support and each responsible for the children’s costs equally that’s a different animal.
I love how people say this isn’t Brandi, it’s all scripted, but on the other seasons, oh, this is all Brandi, honest, tells it likes it is. Tell that to Jill Zarin who the fans made Bravo get rid of. They didn’t script her to be the ugliest person on Bravo and carry the fight to the length she did. She made that decision and her behavior is hers. And she also came into that season super popular. I have a theory that after a season or two you see the real person, once they get a little fame. Brandi will be gone too after next season. If she was smart, she could have turned it around in her blogs, but all season she refused and acted crass and trash and hateful in her own blogs regarding each episode. She did it to herself and her book would have sold through the roof had she been smart enough to realize earlier on the fans had turned on her en masse. Her fan base is a fraction of what it was coming into the season.
Having said that, even though I have no use for Brandrunki, I have no use for LeAnn and Eddie either. And if they are really truly suing her for child support, they are beyond idiots. Brandi’s life span for making this kind of money is a few years. Let her get her house. If he wants to cut out child support since they both have them equally and she’s making great money, that’s one thing, but if that lazy gigilo wants child support, while luxuriating in the mansion and taking trips and not pushing his career because he doesn’t have to with sugar momma supporting him, well, then I hope he is taken to task in every tabloid. If he didn’t have LeAnn and had to actually support a household, I guarantee that guy would have been hustling for work.
I’m curious about that too Jezi, if you can answer for us. There is a form you fill out in California that requests a modification to the child support order. On the form you don’t state what amount you are asking the child support to be changed to – you only request the court to review the child support amount/order. Along with that form you submit an Income and Expense Declaration showing your change in income. Did Eddie submit that to the court, thereby starting the ball rolling to ask for a review by the court? Is that what Brandi got in the mail? Or did he send her a letter threatening her and asking her to pay him child support?
Honestly, if it wasn’t just him asking the court to review the existing child support order and it is truly him asking her to pay him child support then I think he and Leann are done as far as public perception. I doubt they can come back from that.
Megan you do not know her personally. You may think you know her based on watching her for seconds but you don’t know her. It is entertainment and sorry if you think she is a liar but that is one thing she isn’t. She’s honest sometimes to a fault. She’s also a caring friend and it wasn’t her who betrayed Lisa. She has been a great friend to the same girlfriends over 20 years and a great one to me. She loves her boys and her family but unfortunately you don’t get to see much of this. Anyway your opinion is yours. I’m not going to try to convince you of anything. People love her or hate her and I don’t wish to argue with all those who hate her. I know her on a different level but that’s ok. To answer your question Jayna no he’s not looking to stop his support, he’s looking for her to pay him.
None of us know any of the celebs we talk about on this site personally but we gossip about them anyway. So sorry, I don’t think that’s a good reason for anyone to withhold judgment of Brandi.
And I don’t believe that real-life Brandi is too different from RHOBH Brandi, either. She’s not Meryl Streep for god’s sakes, so it’s not like she even has the ability to portray a personality vastly different from her own. At best, she’s playing a slightly exaggerated version of herself, and if that’s the case, she’s still a gross person. Even the most extreme version of me would not make racist comments. That ugliness comes from someplace inside Brandi. And it shows her to be a disgusting person.
+1
I believe they are themselves, but I also believe we don’t see the whole story. It’s edited like crazy. They’re taking out a ton of context to make a one-hour show and the editors/producers drive the narrative. I think they’re themselves, but I try to give benefit of doubt that sometimes there might be a justification for a behavior that we don’t get to see. Ultimately all we can do is try to fill in the blanks based on our judgment of people’s character. It’s silly though to think we know the whole story.
Jezi…people still don’t realize that these reality shows are FAKE. SCRIPTED! Brandi may come off as an ass but please believe if I had a choice between working at Walmart for $10 an hr versus earning $150K a season on a reality show…I would be on a reality show. People act as if what she says or does have some of effect on their lives. If you’re that much into a show perhaps find a hobby. Not everything you see is what it seems.
then she wouldn’t behave the ways she does on talk shows, write about the stuff she writes in her book, she also wouldn’t put this out on twitter as an entire show’s fan base turns on her, she’d be quiet out of respect for her children. However, she doesn’t, she will do anything even hurt her children for attention. SHe is not a better person then Leanne or Eddie (eddie btw denies what she is saying is true http://www.gossipcop.com/brandi-glanville-eddie-cibrian-child-support-pay-money-sons-leann-rimes/).
Also for Jezi to say this is true implies you work for her as a lawyer otherwise you are just a fan like everyone else on this board. You don’t know these people anymore then the rest of us.
I don’t care about the show, I am basing this off her her behavior off the show and she is frankly a deplorable person. She is playing victim and its annoying offensive and pathetic because she isn’t a victim. She is one of millions that have had their husband leave them for another woman, it is sad it is selfish but she gets paid to get drunk, go to fancy parties and make an ass of herself. Sorry but I think I will save my admiration and pity (for lack of a better word) for actual single mothers who have no support, have no dad involvement and work two jobs to pay for FOOD!.
AND AGAIN NONE OF THIS CHANGES THE LAW. LEGALLY SHE MIGHT OWE HIM CHILD SUPPORT. LAWS SHOULD BE ENFORCED EQUALLY.
You absolutely have the right to the way you feel, and if she’s coming off poorly in interviews to you, then that’s your right. But I don’t get why she would owe her ex child support. He doesn’t pay for a household, she does. I promise you I would feel the same way if the genders were reversed. You don’t get to not work because you don’t feel like it, live off a spouse, and then want money from your ex on top of it. The kids are ten and six and not home all day like toddlers, so there’s no excuse. GET A JOB.
Megan I am not her lawyer but I do know her personally and am not just a fan. Most people here know that but I had stopped commenting on these posts because it bothered me seeing people judging her when they don’t know her and I knew it came with the territory of her job. Eddie is a liar so to take his word for anything is ridiculous. Anyway, like I said you don’t have to like her. And the things she buys are from the money she works hard for. She has every right to spend her money on what she wants as long as her boys are taken care of. Don’t know why you think she isn’t entitled to things. She certainly not living in a mansion and driving a Porsche.
Leann just posted greetings from the Bahamas by their boat and motorcycle. CHILD SUPPORT??
@ Erin- I dont’ care about any of them. I care about the LAW because the law protects people that actually need it. So if the law is set up a certain way then it needs to be enforced across the board, so that those who don’t have a six figure income, don’t’ have a public form to complain and whine are protected.
I dont’ care if Child and Protective Services take those boys from both losers (probably be better off, and I think those sweet kids deserve a better environment), I care that a law is enforced equally across the board so that those who need money it for their protection have it. I don’t want a loop hole created for some whiney reality star.
I care about the bigger influences that them avoiding following the law could cause. Now he claims he isn’t asking so it won’t matter but I do want the law enforced so that the single parent working multiple jobs to pay for their child’s food, home and clothes are protected.
@Jezi she is more then entitled to spend her money the way she wants, but she is trying to claim poor and sorry I find it offensive for her to act like she is struggling on 6 figure salary when there are people doing fine on a lot less and living in LA. She can spend her money as she wishes, I know I do, but to claim the poor single mother is disrespectful to actual poor single mothers.
Sigh… I am so tired of Brandi, she has helped ruin a once fun, outrageous show. She has been caught in a lie several times, so her credibility is shot.
Furthermore, her sole career is based on bashing her ex and his new wife, who is now the step mother of her children. I do not care how you slice it, she is NOT putting her children first but publicly airing their family’s dirty laundry. She is only thinking about herself.
All three of them are disgusting, and since they chose to live their lives without integrity, they will always be caught up in stupid drama like this.
When was the last time she said she was struggling? She hasn’t since she’s made her own money. She just doesn’t make that much where she can afford a mansion. And she doesn’t have as much as her cast members. Every little bit she has made she has saved. And if you notice she often wears the same clothes to different functions. She’s not going out and buying a different outfit for a new occasion. Some of the bags she owns are not new. But again it’s her money and she can do with it what she wants. She doesn’t fly first class or go on endless vacations. I don’t care how much you hate her the way she was treated by her ex husband was and is disgusting and undeserved.
Megan, Jezi is a real-life friend of Brandi’s.
Here’s a cool section in the LAW of California. Hope the judge uses this clause and tells Eddie to get the fuck out AND pay Brandi’s legal fees for his attempt at ABUSE of the LAW.
California Family Code § 4057.5
The income of the obligor parent’s subsequent spouse or nonmarital partner shall not be considered when determining or modifying child support, except in an extraordinary case. 4057.5(a)(1)
An extraordinary case may include a parent who voluntarily or intentionally quits work or reduces income, or who intentionally remains unemployed or underemployed and relies on a subsequent spouse’s income. 4057.5(b)
Jennifer12 – Eddie should get a job. But why was there such outrage when Eddie told Brandi to get a job ?
Isn’t it crazy that people try and tell you what you should be spending your money on. I buy $800 shoes because I work hard for it. Could give a damn what others think. If you work hard, you should buy whatever you want. GTFOH!
As do, I but you know what I don’t do, I don’t go whine about being a single mother or cry poor when I get called on my behavior and might have to face consequences. Brandi does.
I love my Louboutins, I wouldn’t give them up but I am not whining about money an not being able to buy my kids an iPad (which she could for one pair of shoes and probably 1/2 the $ she spent on fillers).
Spend your money how you wish but don’t whine about being poor with a $1300 pair of shoes on.
Megan or Leann….when was the last time she whined about being broke? Don’t worry I’ll wait!
Thank you I just wrote that.
Ahem…
http://www.examiner.com/article/brandi-glanville-claims-she-was-too-broke-to-seek-medical-treatment-for-hand
You waited. I assume you read the originals’ link ?
Comment ?
An article from the Examiner, ok. Total gospel but THANKS!
Now he wants to mooch off two women? Imo, this certainly does not leave a good public impression on Leanne’s income worth. I find him repulsive, it makes sense why they are together. I hope they stay together for a long time. They are perfect for each other and not in a good way.
I wonder if Eddie and LeAnn are embarrassed that the story of him wanting child support from Brandi is floating all over the Internet. Does this mean LeAnn is broke or has she cut off Eddie’s allowance? Maybe he should consider getting a job. If he got one good acting job, he’d be making more than Brandi does on her housewives show, right?
Again amazed that anyone would agree this leech deserves one penny of child support. Is he disabled? Mentally ill? Nope! His career faltered because of his own actions and LeAnn. Had he been a man and honored his marriage vows NONE of this would be happening. We wouldn’t know who Brandi was and let’s be real LeAnn was already a Dlister before they married.
If you don’t like Brandi..FINE but to think she owes his nothing a&^ something is unbelievable. He could work full-time if he wasn’t on bi-weekly vacations. I believe every word Brandi has said about them. I think she tries to do her best and accomodate them but is always met with some kind of resistance because of LeAnn’s insecurities and his need to punish Brandi.
Unless you’re a wife or mother there’s is no way you can relate to this whole situation. I’ve said this many times….Brandi is mild compared to what I would have done. Remember that scene in Waiting to Exhale… me 10x worse.
He has also denied asking so again its probably more then likely that Brandi is lying. It is what she does.
Again you seem to want to put the stupid triangle into this instead of actually looking at the LAW!!! As someone said above California determines child support by a calculation. So it is possible that legally Eddie is entitled (although he is not asking). Also unless you’re his agent you have no idea how many auditions he’s gone out for do you? Not fair to say he is a leech when it is not uncommon for actors to have droughts in their work.
However, none of this matters, who cheated on who, who lied to whom doesn’t matter what matters is the LAW!! And it shouldn’t be ignored because of some whiny reality star. And for all you Brandi stans that are demanding she not pay because of his behavior remember that once a legal loophole is created it doesn’t just affect that person it affects the law. So yay the person you stan for doesn’t have to live by the law, now neither does the dad that has decided its not fair he has to pay child support, so now an actual poor single mother is working 3 jobs to pay for her child to eat, have a home and clothes.
But I guess those actual poor and abandoned single mothers/fathers don’t matter as long as some dlist fame whore gets to keep all her money for fillers regardless of the law.
OK…LMAO!!
@Southern Gal keep staning and ignore the law. As long as that drunk racist gets to keep using her kids for pity who cares about the consequences of her actions for the rest of the state. Legal loopholes exist and it just takes one case.
Megan, you wrote a very detailed comment regarding your point of view. I really do not understand the LMAO comment below.
Eddie needs to get a j o b. Period. End of Story. he’s a dick for not working for his money. i dont respect men who can’t support themselves.
So eddie cant land an acting job anymore? Great, go use your college degree Eddie and get a 9 to 5’er like the rest of us.
Eddie’s rep has denied asking for child support, so it is up to who you believe. As far as him needing to get a job, do you believe stay at home mom’s need to get a job too? Are they dicks?
I mean his wife is rich, it’s not like he is living off the system.
Eddie is not a stay at home mom so to compare him to stay at home moms is irrelevant. To further my point, Brandi has had her children most of this month as Eddie vacations in Hawaii and the Bahamas as she stays home and raises their kids.
I think he should get a j o b. Its good for people to work. Idle hands are the devils playground as they say! 😉
He could probably work full-time….if he was actually allowed out of Leann’s sight long enough.
I think most people understand that legally she may owe child support. This is more of a moral objection. He is living in the lap of luxury and she is working hard to provide for herself and her kids. While she may have her issues she seems to be a good mother who takes care of her kids.
she isn’t working hard. She is getting drunk, going to lunches and making an ass of her on tv. That isn’t working hard. The single parent working 12 hour shifts for minimum wage is working hard. The single parent working multiple jobs is working hard. The business person going to an office everyday to earn an income is working hard.
Reality stars don’t work hard, they party and get paid. Sorry this bugged me when Kate Gosslin said that, it bugs me with Brandi, Tamara or any of the Real Housewives.
You seem to have an issue with Brandi yet ignore the fact Eddie is living off his wife. LeAnn pays for everything so why does he need child support?? Makes total sense that she pays him child support while he vacations, gambles, drinks and charge on those limitless cards.
If Brandi lived off welfare and foodstamps that would be an issue as well I am sure. But heaven forbid she’s out working and earning a living yet she is still torn down because it is reality TV. OK!!!
I think Eddie is a loser, but she isn’t working HARD!! As I said I have issues with all reality stars claiming they work hard. THEY DON’T!!!! It is a joke they are all jokes. I have an issue with Brandi whining when others are struggling for real.
No if Brandi and her children were on welfare and living off foodstamps I’d feel terrible for her, I’d wish her well, just like I did when she came out and said she did Housewives for $. However, she now makes 6 figures, I have zero sympathy for people who bitch about money when they make 6 figures.
You seem to need Brandi to be the victim and I am sorry she just isn’t anymore.
Megan again you do not know what she does. She works her ass off. She wrote 2 books and yes she wrote them with the help of her co-author. She doesn’t just party and get drunk. She has her podcast, her photo shoots, the interviews, traveling for book signings, running her social media and taking care of her kids. She may not be a friggin surgeon but she works hard. She doesn’t sit on her ass while someone else pays her damn bills. What’s your problem?
Ok, so I somewhat agree with you that her job is not “hard,” but I see what you say as a difference between working hard and having a hard life. The single mother has a harder life compared to Brandi, but just because her job is easier doesn’t mean she doesn’t work hard. Besides the show she has the books and the podcast and all the things that go along with being in the public eye so I do think she is making an effort. You can’t really fault her for being a position to be on a reality show. What no one works hard but people who have crappy jobs?
I don’t really watch those shows but I assume for some there is more going into it than just partying and drinking…
Also, I just meant more in comparison to EC she is doing what she needs to do to support her family.
I may not have a chance to come back to this thread, but I had to say – Megan, why do you care so much? You have like 20 comments on this board. Jezi, Brandi’s friend has less to say, but you seem h*** bent on attacking Brandi…
Jezi,
Mary …I mean Megan is all about the LAW don’t you know. It is okay for him to petition for child support because he chooses to sit on his lazy ass and live off others. LeAnn works what 6x a year and half of those dates are canceled do to her need to track down her unemployed husband. Again, I am waiting on the response were Brandi bitched about making six figures because I’ve NEVER read anything on her Twitter feed about her complaining. If anything, I see a woman working her ass off to support her and her children.
Seriously!!!!! I can’t believe people think this is ok. Regardless of the law it is morally reprehensible.
Brandi’s entire “career” came of being jilted by Eddie. She’s sure hanging on to this venom and milking it isn’t she ? Were it me I’d be grateful for the opportunities, and move on with my life. It does seem a little deplorable of her to make her money off trashing him – her kids father. If you are a friend to her you might take a snapshot of the publics consensus and advise her to find a New topic. I’d want a friend to do that for me. Surely that’s why you participate in a Gossip column about your friend ?
Eddie is a poor excuse for a man and father Eddie has been living off woman his whole life he had no problem leaving his ex wife and kids homeless. While he lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous he made Brandi pay him back child supports while her and the boys were couch surf with Brandi friends. Eddie and Leann and some people on this site coldly told Brandi to get a job flipping burger .If Eddie needs money then he needs to get a job i understand not liking Brandi that fines but to wish her bad karma is just stupid . People may not like Brandi but atleast she earn her money without having to depend on the goverment or a man Eddie May be entitled to child support but to me makes him looks even worst than before .
Eddie’s rep has said this isn’t true and he has never asked Brandi for child support. Someone is lying and its either Brandi or Eddie.
I believe Eddie is a loser who will drag Brandi to court every month until those kids are 18. Lesson learned: dont reproduce with pigs like Eddie!
As for Leanns “happy time” tweet, gag me. On yet another vacay as Brandi stays home raising his children as he galavants around the world with his atm. The gruesome twosome that is Eddie and Leann must be living on credit cuz neither of those losers work. Leann had one job this month and still couldnt show up!
Didn’t eddies rep also deny the cheating claims as well? Look how that played out..
And her rep gave 3-4 different reasons for her faux rehab trip.
So according to E!News and US Magazine Eddie’s spokesperson says he is not now nor never will request his ex wife to pay him child support.
OK then. Is this an over exaggeration on Brandi’s part? A ploy for sympathy to get her book to sell more? Or is Eddie lying? Seems strange he’d lie about something when she could simply show the legal letter and prove her claim thereby making him look like an even bigger liar.
He denied it while vacationing in the Bahamas…
Well I guess his lawyer is a liar. Whatever he’s such a tool. I’m sure using her savings for a high powered attorney instead of buying her house is for nothing as well. He’s pathetic.
Well, if Eddie is lying then it will come out when the petition for modification hits the court system. There should be a record that he filed right?
I think she’s lying. If she posts legal paperwork to back up her claims I will believe her, but otherwise it is all just promotion for her newest book.
Does anyone know if the 2nd book is doing well?
Her second book is doing well and was doing well before this. Eddie and Leann are known liars. She doesn’t have to post anything to prove it to people who don’t believe her. And I highly doubt her lawyer will allow her to.
I didn’t say she had to, I said I wouldn’t believe it unless she did. That’s the problem with posting personal information on Twitter, people are going to comment on it.
I will say I am glad that she is able to support herself, and she should be too. I read her 1st book, it was cute, but I haven’t noticed as many people talking about the 2nd book, that’s why I asked. Thanks for the info.
Anytime. Her book signings are packed. People who hate her are usually louder than the ones who love her. The second book is hilarious.
It seems to be. It had really good presales and her book signings are drawing a few hundred.
Jezi – maybe her lawyer should also advise against putting out “taunting” twitter posts UNLESS she’s ready to back it up ?? She wants to make a point ? THAT would make a point. For the record I despise all 3. I’m a mom. I’d be thinking of what my kids will one day see/read about her – and thanks to twitter, they won’t have to get it secondhand – it’s all there in black and white. Shame on her.
….somehow you posting here claiming to be a true friend rings so hollow and pathetic I can’t even properly word my reaction.
In a few short years Mason & Jake are going to have twitter accounts and tell each and every one of you to “suck it!”
I don’t believe anything that Brandi says anymore. She’s been caught in SO MANY lies, this is most likely just one more.
So she lied. I highly doubt his lawyer, an officer of the court, is lying when he says they are not suing her for child support. He isn’t asking for child support from her. It sounds so much better for Brandi to tweet it that way so she can really play the victim. Which means he is asking the court for his child support to her to be modified or to be discontinued since she is making so much money and since he has the kids an equal amount of the time and for them to be responsible for expenses on their time with the kids and split shared expenses which they probably already do, like insurance, school, dentist, etc. They share the kids equal time. As long as she’s making excellent money, I don’t see the problem with discontinuing child support to her since he has the children as much as her. If she wants to hire a lawyer to fight it, that’s up to her or she could agree.
Unless he’s going back and trying to get back child support overpayment again from her, like he did in the past, saying he overpaid for what he made because of reduced income. Now, if he’s doing that, he’s a lazy scuzzball still. I find that so tacky and I wouldn’t put it past him. That’s not asking for child support from her, but that is asking her to reimburse him for overpayment from his past payments to her for say the past year.
You think lawyers don’t lie for their clients? Mr. Larry Stein lied all the time while defending Leann in the media when she was suing the Smileys.
And I can’t say much but your last statement makes a lot of sense 😉
.
What in the hell? I really don’t understand how that works. Can someone explain to me how the whole “asking for money you already gave” situation works in child custody? I know he’s done that before but I don’t get what the reasoning or legality is there.
And this is why Brandi needs to think first, tweet second. She really needs to re-evaluate how much she shares regarding her issues with the ex-douche of a husband and the crazy wife. I wouldn’t put it past them to send the letter and not actually file to make her look bad so people will be on “their” side and watch their show.
@Dia, I agree. I wouldn’t put LeAnn and Eddie past doing that.
Well, he probably didn’t have much income last year with the walk-on part and the scriptality show that is reportedly in its ninth month of filming (per an article circulating today). Maybe ‘his’ production company isn’t paying him.
It must grate him that his ex is actually earning income. I may not agree with all she says or does, but she does seem to hustle and honor her work engagements.
How interesting that Leann is hell bent on being a ‘bonus mum’ but is also hell bent on helping Eddie hide money so it can’t go towards those boys she supposedly loves so much.
“Kind of like when a record company tells you to go home and work and you head for the Caribbean.” http://www.justsayjenn.net/2014/02/need-child-support-take-trip-to-bahamas.html
Please note the beer Eddie is holding as he drives the motorcycle.
To think leann calls them “her boys” when it’s convenient. She said they are her family and always will be. She has no problem exploiting them on stupid Christmas cards and on twitter. I guess being a bonus mom means using them to look good but not much else.
If I were not on my phone I would copypaste the epic reply Annie B posted upthread. She found a clause of the LAW that megan is sooo concerned about that I bet would apply to ediot’s situation.
So ofc eddie is now saying he never asked for child support. And eddie and leann are such total truthtellers *rolls eyes*
I just want Brandi to go away…..forever.
