After the first rush of crazy rumor-mongering about Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton’s divorce, the interest sort of dropped off a cliff. I kept writing about the situation but those posts barely got any comments. Which is too bad, because some of those stories were rather sketchy, and now Blake Shelton is getting into a beef with In Touch Weekly. First, some backstory: a few years ago, there were many, many, MANY stories about how Blake Shelton allegedly had an affair with a young singer named Cady Groves. In Touch, Star and other outlets had stories that were variations on the same theme, that Cady and Blake had a torrid fling and when she wanted more, he dumped her and basically destroyed her would-be career. The fact that Cady was and is active on social media and she seemed to drop clues about all of this just became more fodder for the rumor-mongering.
In the days and weeks that followed Blake and Miranda’s sudden divorce, Cady was once again active on social media, seemingly tweeting about Blake and how he broke her heart, how he lied to her and how he destroyed her career. In Touch, Star and Radar have reported on all of it, and Radar scored an interview with Cady’s brother, who claimed that “All that crap that happened years ago ruined her career.” In Touch ran Radar’s quotes and they’ve been following up on the drama with some original reporting. Now TMZ says that Blake wants to shut it down:
Blake Shelton is slamming rumors he had an affair with country singer Cady Groves … threatening to sue the magazine that made the claim … and also insisting she’s in on the lie. We’ve learned Shelton’s attorneys have fired a letter to In Touch magazine, demanding they retract their story about Shelton and Groves carrying on an affair.
In the letter, we’re told Shelton’s attorneys describe Groves as someone who became “infatuated” with Shelton. The letter accuses the magazine of using Grove as its source, and any insinuation by her that she had an affair with Blake is a lie.
The legal letter is strong, “Mr. Shelton did not have a sexual relationship or affair of any nature whatsoever with Ms. Groves.”
Since the rumor surfaced, Groves has spoken about Shelton … but has stopped short of denying the affair.
In Touch is not backing down, saying, “Not only does In Touch magazine stand by its story but we have another exclusive about Blake and Miranda’s divorce in this week’s issue.”
I think it’s perfectly possible that Cady is some kind of stalker fan-girl loving the attention she’s getting from the tabloids. I also think that it’s possible that there’s a reason she’s so attached to this idea that Blake ruined her career following an affair: because it might be true. Allegedly. And what I find bizarre is that Blake is only going after In Touch. Radar/Star has had exclusive reporting about this situation too and I would even argue that Radar/Star’s reporting is way more damaging than In Touch Weekly’s stories. Anyway, if Blake wants to fight this, he’s going to have to do more than send a threatening letter to In Touch, I think.

Between this and the Duggar stories, In Touch is not f**king around this year.
Right? What’s this weird feeling I have for them…is this respect?
She and Batfleck’s nanny should get their own tv show. Call it “We Will Not Be Ignored”. Glenn Close as Alex from Fatal Attraction could produce it.
But think of bunnies Veronica, they have harmed nobody!
They could use a prop bunny. Lol
Or a cooking show called “Boiling the rabbit”
I had to go and find out who she is.. she is cute.. and she looks so young in the pictures I just saw.
and how can he sue them when they are just reporting what she has said to them. Telling her side of a story. If he wanted to sue it should be against her. This is different than when tabloids say sources or insiders. This is an actual person. So they printed what she said.
Gee, I miss the good old days when mistresses were something to be ashamed of, and the mistresses themselves were only in it for cash and gifts. Can’t a married man sleep around without a mistress trying to make her dreams of fame come true? Pfft! Get off my lawn! =p
Ha!
She seems really unstable, but I wouldn’t put it past Blake to take what was offered, and now having buyer’s remorse.
she does sound obsessed. Maybe people in the country music industry saw her as a liability. From what i understand, very few women make it in country music and others spend years just trying to break into the industry
Cady Groves is nuts. She has a whole other story about how while making the album that never got released she was in love with the producer (not Blake). They were obsessed with each other she said and talking living together. I guess they kept it on the down low in the studio, The last day in the studio he was late. Another producer said that he and his wife lived outside the city so probably the traffic was bad. She had no clue he was married and was devastated and said she broke up with him.
The label is the one who never released the album and her mother has given an interview before or Billboard maybe it was did an articles on how she lost her moment to be a star and the label didn’t push her enough and they left the label. That was years ago.
Then Blake separates and she starts with these tweets.
I think she is nuts and wanted all the attention on her. Did they sleep together after he did her music video and they got drunk together? Maybe. I don’t think she had some full-blown affair with him.
Her career never happened, and she’s still trying to make it happen and is using their breakup to do it.
All you have to do is take a look at her twitter feed to know that she is a nutcase. I wouldn’t be shocked if the did hook up a couple times, but I’m leaning more towards them having a flirty friendship that she thought would lead to more, but never did and she got angry. OR, she’s just making it all up for publicity.
Just her tweets alone put her in the unstable stalker category. Jeez, lady. Take it down a million notches.
The legal letter stating that “Mr. Shelton did not have a sexual relationship or affair of any nature whatsoever with Ms Groves.”….. reeks of a Clinton statement that we know was a lie.
But either way, she sounds like a nutcase wanting another chance at 15 minutes of fame.
Her twitter feed reminds me of LeAnn Rimes’. She’s picking up friends via Twitter…never a good thing.
Both of these two shining examples of excellent morals are trying to stay relevant. Thirsty!!!
Well I’m looking forward to the next ITW exclusive on the divorce. I laughed my head off when Blake tried to play the wronged, baby-wanting, faithful husband. I hope his career tank. Miranda was the only one lending him any legitimacy. His songs are RIDICULOUS!!!
I recently read the Billboard profile on her from 2012. It mentioned the married man was a producer. I don’t think its Blake and I think this girl is imbalanced and delusional. She has a very unstable history too.
With all the rumours about Blake, why would they divorce now? ( I mentioned a few days ago that I’m naive – I think he’s just a big flirt but not an affair guy. Her parents are PI’s, and she’s a no BS girl, he’d be crazy). She has said she’s the miserable one, he’s easy going, he doesn’t drink as much as he plays up and he can’t really handle much alcohol.
I have a theory. The divorce filing seemed abrupt and pissed off. Fidelity isn’t a deal breaker for some people. You know what might be, though? Finding out your spouse is doing cocaine to stay thin. Or having an abortion without consent. I think something not affair related happened between these two and that’s why the court sealed the documents.
Ooohh – that is way more scandalous than anything I thought up!
Im a terrible person, but I love it.
I call BullShat blake. You are just upset to learn that the public CAN TOTALLY BELIEVE you’re the scumbag you know you are deep down inside. Have been for years. It has NEVER been a secret to anyone except maybe YOU. You are just scared shatlezz that you could lose your job.
O I love this ben affleck style threats to the magazine lmao!
