LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were out and about in New York all last week. I’m including an assortment of photos from the multiple pap strolls. Why the sudden strolling? Because LeAnn is promoting her very sad Christmas album/EP. And she’s taking anything she get to shill, including an appearance on Dr. Oz’s show yesterday. CB watched it (and transcribed all of these quotes, thanks CB!) and she said LeAnn talked SO MUCH and was SO CRAZY. So, like usual? Except this appearance included LeAnn singing a jingle for Dr. Oz about poop. I sh-t you not. But the real purpose of LeAnn’s interview was to talk about “body shaming” and how everyone hates her and she pays attention to what everyone says about her and she’s totally over it. Or something. Some assorted quotes:
Dealing with years of “body bullying”: “It can be very difficult. I grew up in the public eye from the time I was very young… I was too big when I was younger, had baby fat. Everybody goes through that awkward stage and then I got healthy and then there was always that I got too skinny. There’s always going to be something… So it’s been a really big lesson for me on how to censor in myself and not having to listen to so many opinions. It’s gotten so bad these days with social media and everything. It’s a breeding ground of hatred and it’s very sad. I’ve had to deal with it and it’s hit me personally it’s been very hard at times. But I’m in a good place now. I’ve gone through all of this.
Whether she was ever “too skinny”: “I was very fit. I would work out a lot, I love working out. I stay healthy. I was going through a ton of stress at that point in my life. I could eat my husband under the table at that point and I could not keep weight on. People give me crap all the time about being in bikinis which I think is so funny because I’ve had psoriasis all my life and I never was able to walk out in a bikini and feel confident and when I got my skin under control and then I got fit I was like ‘I’ll walk around naked if I could!’ As far as my weight goes, I definitely feel like I’m better with a little more weight on me but I know I wasn’t unhealthy at the time it was just the way my body was reacting to what was going on in my life.”
Going into treatment/rehab/spa for depression: “There were moments when I definitely did not want to get out of bed and really had some serious depression. I know I’m not the only person who has ever felt that and that’s why I’ve always wanted to be very open about it. When I did get treatment for it, it was funny because people thought that ‘she must have an eating disorder or something must be going on – drugs.’ People just didn’t understand that was what it was – anxiety and depression.”
Fighting for her love of Eddie Cibrian: “I’m one of these people that wants to fix things and then I don’t want people to believe something that’s not – all these lies about me because that’s not who I am. Then I started to learn how to let go and realize that’s so not me. There’s LeAnn Rimes like the human being and this whole other story that’s playing out around you. It made our relationship super strong. We fought a lot to be together. We have this bond that’s unlike most. We’ve been through a lot together and have supported each other through a lot.”
Taking 40 pills a day: “I do take a lot of vitamins a day. I don’t know exactly how many. I take B12 shots. I have an autoimmune disease so I’m constantly trying to keep my immune system up… I do I take fish oil, I take digestive enzymes. So yes I do take a lot of vitamins. I do take prenatals and not because anything is growing inside of me.”
Whether she’ll have a baby: “Maybe one day. I have two wonderful stepsons that I adore. So much going on. We have talked about it but not happening just yet.”
How she keeps her marriage strong: “Communication is key. I’m a big believer in therapy for myself. Eddie and I both have done that. It’s great. It really keeps everything kind of open and continuing to move through things and there’s things that you discover that you’d didn’t even know were there. We’re a blended family. I walked into two boys that were 2 and 6 at the time. It’s a big shock to the system. We’ve really had to work through a lot of stuff and really try to blend a family. We are… feeling super comfortable about that and connected and really settled into that.”
[From Dr. Oz’s show, transcribed by Celebitchy]
Sigh… it’s a lot of LeAnn to handle. While I don’t doubt that she has struggled (and still struggles) with anxiety and depression, the gloss that she puts on her “rehab” treatment is laughable. She literally announced that she was going to rehab because people were making fun of her (plus she was “addicted” to Twitter), then proceeded to do some minor “outpatient” work at some facility that closely resembled a spa. As for all of the stuff about bullying… how quickly she forgets what she and her crazy friends did to Brandi Glanville. And I guess we’re supposed to forget about the YEARS LeAnn spent Single-White-Female-ing her husband’s ex-wife?

I was home sick last week and saw her on one of the talk shows doing a Christmas song. She is SO talented. She should just get off social media for a while and let her singing speak for her.
I saw her live a few years ago and I was shocked at how good she was. Seems like child stardom took a heavy toll on her.
I have to agree, when you hear her sing in person, it completely changes your point of view of her. She truly is a child star that had trouble transitioning into adulthood. I think her parents were focused on greed, not on LeAnne.
Actually as far as child stars ago she’s not doing too bad. She got divorced and remarried, BFD. She has a great voice . As in Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand great .
I believe that it is too late for Leann’s talent to save her career. She has been so aggressively vindictive on social media and in her public actions for years that it is very hard to see past the horrible public persona she has built and just enjoy her talent. That album Spitfire was a prime example of Leann’s bullying and mean girl tactics. Sometimes you do reap what you sow. It is such a shame to see such talent just ended up wasted.
Yup, she had her moment and its gone. There are literally millions of talented people in the world. She may have talent, but that doesn’t make her special (not that you were saying no she was). She’s shown time and again she has no work ethic, but thinks she’s a stah! That doesn’t build a lasting career. She’s like that friend in Bridget Jones’ Diary who had that one hit and found it was enough to get him laid for all of the 90s.
I don’t know – I don’t think most people care about her or know anything about her beyond child star who cheated on her husband.
She has haters who follow everything she does, but I honestly don’t know how many of them there are anymore.
That said, of course she won’t get back to the level of her career in the late 90s/early 2000s, but she could certainly continue what she’s doing now – casino gigs (which are pretty lucrative), and an album every year or two.
life is sunny and happpeeeeee on planet Leann
Barf
Why so many alt accounts on Twitter if it’s such a hateful place? Why are you on it CONSTANTLY
if its terrible.
Stop WeWE just stop
oh but you can’t can you?
She’s been on the Daily Mail almost every day. She’s always pictured wearing that overpriced merchandise she’s shilling on her website.
And she’s trying to make her fans believe that her CD in high on the charts but never mentions what charts. She always get busted because people then show that she’s low on the charts instead.
She has that liar gene like Kim Kardash and Kris Jenner–Leeann was strung out on booze and stimulants, she bullied that family she sued after causing the rif in the first place, she goads the ex of her husband into feuds, she is consistently passive aggressive on social media and can never stop talking about HER opinions and HER platitudes and pictures of herself with another woman’s family; Leeann: when you cheat on 2 spouses, you will be eternally hated and it did only happen a few years back soooo.
She needs to stop with the ” we’re so close and strong and have been through (caused) so much together” when everyone knows what a man-ho eddie is and he’s still out there spreading his seed
I wonder if she really believes that or if she is just trying to convince everyone else. It is a wasted effort because once a man-ho always a man-ho. He doesn’t love you, LeAnn. Eddie only loves Eddie.
If she thinks it hard enough in her vapid tiny little mind then it must be so! Thus she has to convince everyone else how happee her sick little life is! And it just is NOT working (just like EDIE–gonadless Eddie!)
There have been pictures of Eddie when he forgets the cameras are there. He mainly looks pissed and annoyed until Leann reminds him to smile for the cameras.
Then there’s the times Eddie is so full of tequila that he lets Leann have pictures of them hugging.
Then there’s the family pictures where Eddie shoved the boys in between he and Leann.
Then there’s the move where he has his hand shoved down is pocket so Leann’s unable to hold it. Or the move he used last week when he held onto a big duffle bag to create a barrier.
There’s no way she got that skinny just from stress and “she couldn’t keep weight on” as she claims. She lies about everything. She not only became anorexic looking but she tried to morph into Brandi. The high heels with every outfit, the Brandi style hair, the sunglasses, the outfits, even the way she started talking during certain awards shows on the red carpet (using brandi style of speech. ) The swfing has toned down lately, but her morphing into Brandi at that time really took on full force when Leann realized Brandi wasn’t going to flip burgers but started getting an agent and a lot of television work and publicity. She saw how Brandi achieved instant popularity and fandom and felt the pressure of people comparing them and questioning why eddy would choose Leann over a woman who was not only more beautiful but now becoming more of a celebrity in the spotlight as well. She couldn’t handle the pressure of that . I’m not sure she was trying to become Brandi per se , more like she was trying to become the prettier better version of Brandi. Brandi’s instant fame and popularity blindsided Leann and made her go completely bonkers. Her swfing and taunting acts up when Brandi is in the spotlight and tones down when she’s not working as much. Leanna jealousy and abuse towards Brandi is what made people dislike her. She’s no victim and no one buys her bs anymore
We didn’t forget about her getting skinny due to laxatives and the internet has many picture of her starts!
Sharts!
What in the love of Juvederm is in her face?! Is that whale bone?! Tupperware?! Ohmygod. I hate bad cosmetic surgery. And she created her own poop maelstrom using social media so..no sympathy from me.
Yeah she’s messing with her face again big time. Doesn’t even look like herself. And it’s so shinnnyyyyy. Did she moisturize her face with Crisco?
No, lots and LOTS of botox. Who the hell needs botox in their early 30’s? Seriously.
Yes, she looks very strange.
I don’t know but I think the bronze-y makeup and hairstyle are making whatever it is worse.
“Digestive enzymes” pffft. A laxative is a laxative whether herbal or not.
^THIS! Why LeAnn doesn’t realize that people are on to her and her antics, I will never understand. Now she’s a health guru, a fitness know-it-all, a philosopher? I’ll join that “pfffft” and raise you one! 🙂
Ummm, no fan of LeAnn, but Digestive Enzymes are NOT laxatives. They help you digest food better and help tremendously with acid reflux. Everyone should take them.
There ain’t enough H2O in the galaxy to quench her thirst.
Poor, sad, victimized, innocent Saint Leann. She’s just so full of it.
It is ridiculous how much she sees herself as a victim. She is an awful person.
Well she sounds more level headed, but I still think she’s cray.
Social media has never caused even a hint of problems in my life because I’m not a drama monster, I don’t look for validation there (just fun and keeping in touch), and I don’t stir up shit and then cry when it comes back to me.
You get what you give Leanne.
I thought she sounded more level headed, too. And I agree that social media will cause problems only to the extent that you let it. Although I do think some people get truly addicted and cannot tear themselves away. I don’t know, it sounds like Leanne has maybe learned to moderate her use a little bit.
Has she? There haven’t been any crazy Twitter war stories lately.
Level headed? More like very rehearsed.
Pretty much.
Did she have eye surgery?
I think so. I think she had the upper lids lifted again. The space between her eye and her eyebrow is larger. I wonder if she’s trying to do something to cancel out the hooded lower lids, but you can’t create lower lids where there aren’t any. All they can do is raise the brow and when she inititally did that, it did look better, but she needs to stop. You can’t recreate your face – certain features are what they are and there’s no changing it.
Eyes or nose, I think. It’s hard to tell without comparing to an older picture, but she’s definitely had something done. It’s too bad she can’t the inside worked on. She’s a bitter, jealous, nasty piece of work. Changing the outside won’t change the inside.
I think just Botox. Botox can lift your eyes like that.
Also, I find her so damn insufferable.
We all know that LeAnn likes to morph into any woman Eddie might be infatuated with. Which includes plastic surgery.
There must be somebody new in the circle that has either a slimmer nose or well-proportioned eye/brow ratio. *snort*
I watched her Oz appearance out of mere curiosity. She wasn’t quite as spastic as I’ve seen her in other interviews, but I did wonder how a transcript would read. She peppered her word salads with “super” and “like” many times.
He gave her almost half the show to drone on about not much of anything. And the bowel song ended with Oz going on bended knee to thank her.
How she described the family seemed a little odd to me. “I walked into two boys” was a strange way to put it.
I think LeAnn meant “I ran over two boys…”
She can make things much more simple for herself: stay the f**k off Twitter! Yeah there are many trolls/hateful people on there, so stop going on there and reading what they say. It’s like a person complaining about getting burned all the time because they keep putting their hand on a hot stove! She should retire the social media thing and just focus on her voice, which is immensely talented. Sad what she has done to herself and her career; the girl has an amazing voice.
Speaking of social media whatever happened with the woman (I think a former celebitchy commenter) that she was engaged in a court battle with?
That seems to have gone underground completely.
And whatever happened with the dentist?
Leann dropped the case against, I think her online name was, 888, who’d by then incurred astronomical attorney’s fees. Don’t know what happened with the dentist. Probably dropped that too in return for free grifter dental work. She’s a grifter as much as anyone else is.
Wow I’m not aware of that case only the teacher’s. Leanne threw a couple of her fans under the bus in that case. It was their fault for trying to kiss up to Leann.
One of them even published private information about the teacher in that case and was dragged into court. He must have learned his lesson because you barely hear from him any more. The other on was banished.
They settled out of court. Neither one can discuss the case was part of the agreement. This may be one of the reasons why she’s so broke because she sunk her money into lawyers fighting that cazy case.
Thank you all. I’m sure 888’s expenses are pretty bad from LeAnn’s foolishness, which sucks, but at the very least she doesn’t have to keep going to court and dealing with her.
I didn’t even hear about the dentist 😷
Said the owner of multiple fake Facebook, IG, and Twitter accounts, not to mention being a pied piper to a bunch of online crazies. Seriously, just settle down on this narrative and talk about the weather or world peace or really, anything else.
Yes, we know. Very young and profesh early, much Grammy, omg special Eddie.
speaking of body shaming- what the smacked-in-the face-with-a-frying-pan-HELL is going on with her face? it looks like silly putty left in the sun and re-smooshed back together.
You had to fight for your love? Like what, monsters and dragons and an alien invasion? Oh, wait, you had to sleep with a married father of two. And then tried to act like it was the grand love story of our time. And then tried to support him in style despite your diminishing fame, while between you and that other fameho, Brandi, you put those two poor kids on social media when neither of you should have done that – let the children have some privacy….
As for the storm on social media, you do know there is a simple solution, right? Get OFF, and stop posting about every stupid thing you do, every selfie you take of your fringed booties and purses and teenage torn jeans.
Phew. Look at me rant and I don’t actually care about her but I swear she is like a vortex of drama that sucks you in.
^^^ This is 100% spot on correct LOL!
She has a weird, overblown sense of victimhood about their relationship, like the world is trying to keep them apart but their love is too strong, or some such nonsense. When in reality they were both married, had an affair, and now seem kind of stuck together rather than admitting their mistakes.
She’s just a typical narcissist – they do horrible things, use people, take what they want, and then play the victim when they have to face the reality of judgement. Narcissists treat people like crap but want everybody to love them and think they’re great. I’m actually fascinated by it. There are so many of them in the industry. Obviously, many narcissists become musicians and actors/actresses for the attention, power, and fawning, but in her case, she was just a kid who was really talented who won Star Search and yet she turned into a narcissist or maybe she always was one. Which came first, the egg or the chicken, IDK.
I agree JenniferJustice. Charlie Sheen being another perfect example of a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies — always blaming everyone else and NEVER taking responsibility for their actions. In LeAnn’s case, it probably started in childhood and then with her propulsion into the music scene as a young child, that simply solidified it. I think for years, no one really saw her behavior that way because she seemed to have it together: great career, got married young and seemed to have a stable, supportive husband. That all came crashing down with her affair with Eddie. The two of them were so un-apologetic about ripping apart their respective families. She should have just shut up about the whole thing, let it ride out and concentrate on her music, but being the narcissist that she is, she could not do that — she kept on trying to get people’s approval and it seriously backfired on her. Think about other couples in Hollywood?….many, many have affairs, etc. Not many receive the backlash that LeAnn and Eddie did and that is all because of her own selfish and unapologetic behavior.
@AmyB
That’s what got me. Not that they had an affair. I think that when you make a mistake like that, how you handle it shows who you are. If they had just gone away, quietly settled their relationships with their husband/wife, then quietly got married, quietly started their life together, maybe said their piece and move on, but didn’t engage in tabloid crap……then they would’ve been fine (publicly).
Noooo…….Eddie sat back and let Leann do whatever she wanted. Probably because she was footing the bill. And that’s what’s the most disgusting thing–because he looks better by comparison, because he’s not actually doing anything, but just letting the two women go at it. So the conversation is Leann and Brandi–not Eddie and Brandi. Or Eddie and Lean vs. Brandi. But Lean vs. Brandi.
But who seriously doesn’t think that no one’s going to comment on the fact that two seconds after the ink is dry on your divorce papers (probably even sooner) that you, the former mistress of a married man bought a house in the same neighborhood as your new boyfriend’s ex? And then going to parent-teacher conferences AS THE GIRLFRIEND, and seeing nothing wrong with that. Or with Eddie–not picking up the phone when Brandi calls him, to the point to where she has to call one of the kids to talk to him. Suing her to get back child support he paid to her, shortly after buying Leann a giant, expensive ring. And then letting Brandi find out via social media that one of her kids got hurt/went to the Emergency room or that they’re sick.
I would seriously be crazy after dealing with them.
Yeah I agree….I’m no Brandi apologist (because she has had her own issues with exploiting things on social media) but I would have been headed for a mental breakdown if I had to deal with LeAnn’s craziness after the fallout of my own marriage to my kids’ father! The way LeAnn used Brandi’s kids to promote this “happy family” image is deplorable and it is EXACTLY things like that that make LeAnn so incredibly unlikeable. And to hear her complain about social media is truly laughable b/c that is the very MEDIUM she herself used in an attempt to salvage her own image. LeAnn, karma always has a way of coming back to bite you in the ass!
Brandi fought back in social media because she was sad the man she loved, eddie, was letting leanne taunt her on social media. She was hurt he didn’t stick up for her, out of respect for their past. Eddie didn’t stick up for her because he was hurt, mad she wouldn’t take him back. Leanne taunts Brandi because she knows eddie still loves her and would have gone back to the family. I believe Brandi is over it now and just wants to go on with her life in a positive way. Eddie has to stay with leanne because she supports his parents in the way he now cannot. Eddie uses leanne.
The funny part is that old Eddie was kind of low on the radar, with Leann’s shenanigans until he agreed to the reality/scripted show.
That’s when he showed what a douche he truly was on top of being jealous of his ex wife’s success. Which only showed how much he was still consumed by his ex wife which Leann was trying to disprove with the show.
Good job Leann.
@funcakes
Yep yep yep yep. I watched a few episodes. Every episode I watched, they brought up Brandi. One or both of them. And in addition to that, they threw a hissyfit when Brandi wanted to have the two boys in the background of an episode of her stupid reality show (it was a birthday party, I think, with the other cast members kids–who were just in the background/briefly seen), and they said no no no. But then they used footage of the two boys on the opening credits.
That’s the whole reason Leann SWF’d Brandi. She knows that if Brandi hadn’t thrown him out, and that if she hadn’t had a lot of money at the time, that he wouldn’t be with her. He was cheating on Leann with like two other women! It’s not some grand love story, where they were just so in love and so unfulfilled in their dead end marriages that they had to get out and be together—Leann probably wanted a bad boy and someone fun after her husband became more like a manager than husband (and this is what he said), and Eddie was having fun. With multiple women. He probably only hooked up with her because she was available.
Classic narcissist, like others said already. She is me me me focused in everything she says and we’ve all discussed the examples here a ton. But, here’s another thing she does: Have you ever noticed the ad nauseum patterns in her speech? “We have a bond unlike anyone else.” She says that all the time. As if, no one else has ever been in love before. Or, when she talks about her videos, songs, whatever, she always says things like “the very first video filmed on iphone” (it wasn’t), or, had to remake this song using some method or instrument or whatever to turn it into something people have never tried before, (not true – many other examples), or, “I’m one of the only child stars still performing.” (not true, there are tons of them)
She always puts those qualifiers in her speech. It’s super important to her to convince herself that she is so unique, or different or special and one of a kind.
Truly, she is absolutely bonkers. She lacks any self-awareness and seems to have tons of other mental issues, wherein she has to prop herself up everyday by pinning thousands and thousands of inspirational quotes on Pinterest, and post them every day on that stupid chalkboard, all sayings designed to convince herself that she’s right and good and nice and special, when in reality, they’re all just things to absolve herself of her horrid behavior and personality. The woman is just a total liar and a nutjob.
And the thing is too, she already had a reputation for being an asshole in the industry prior to Eddie, it just was only known in those country circles. But then social media and Twitter got popular, and soon the mainstream world got a dose of what everyone had known about her for awhile. If you look back at talk about her pre-Eddie, lots of fans had already gotten pissed off with her, she was already developing a reputation back then for being flaky with attendance to her shows and she was considered a bratty snob. I think Dean gets all the credit for her keeping it semi-together.
@claire
That chalkboard is pure crap because Dean wished her luck on her Xmas album and she never responded. Miss peace,love and harmony is still bitter from what she did to her ex.
She’s probably still mad about the article where he criticized Eddie and then said she lost her way. She can humiliate him in public in front of millions including his family,but Leann gets butt hurt over one article.
Then she turned around and copied one of his recipes. Just like she use other people’s work on her chalktalk without crediting the author.
Exactly, vauvert. She cheated on her own husband with a married father of two who was cheating on her, and she didn’t like the way that sounded. People were supposed to look at it as star-crossed lovers finally set free to enjoy their epic love. Sorry, honey. It was a cheap affair that broke up two homes, and yes, that IS who you are.
Eggs-actly.
Ughhh…..that’s why I will always feel a smidgeon of sympathy for Brandi ALWAYS. My grandma was in that situation–at home, doing what she was supposed to, while my grandfather was out getting drunk and cheating on her (he owned a bar). And up until this day, my grandma (the one that was sleeping with my grandfather while he was still married) STILL acts like my other grandma (who did nothing wrong or even said anything to her) is the problem. Even though all three are divorced from each other.
And Lordy-Lord…I can imagine what would’ve happened if this had occurred nowadays, vs. in the seventies. My “other woman” Grandma, would’ve been stalking my other grandma (who was seriously gorgeous, like freaking Snow White)…….
Exactly Funcakes! Brandi dots the i in her name with a small heart with a small extending tail. Leann’s signing Christmas cards with the same heart above her name only her tail curls a little. Another case of pathetic swf ing . Won’t be long before Leann rises up to the level of Ed Gein atrocities.
It’s exhausting to unravel all she says and how she spins it.
Have to give her credit for tailoring her ‘struggles’ to get on another TV show. I think she must just hang around NYC during tree-lighting week to see what gigs she can drum up.
This.
It’s ALL SPIN. Everything that comes out of her mouth is carefully crafted to fit her narrative.
She lies and spins constantly. She’s claiming to be topping music charts and to have multiple songs on said charts, when in fact, it’s only radio play she’s getting, not record sales. Gee, what a success. Christmas songs getting radio play at Christmas. She has one song at number 80 , on the only real chart she’s on. Her fans are eating it up and congratulating her on yet another hit record. They also think she is the one coming up with the stupid chalktalk stuff. She never corrects them, even when someone, including the original author, calls her out. She is so full of it.
Well after last years debacle no one is going to ask her to perform at a live family event. Who shows up dressed like that,to sing for families,to sing a kid’s Xmas song?
Then made a major idiotic comment about the Freddie Gray incident. Something about them making to much noise during her performance?
Yes, Leann. How dare those demonstrators march for civil rights and ruin your night.
She made a double stupid dip.
This one has been hitting the kook-aid hard. (Typo but I’m keeping it) It seems like there’s not one thought that she has or idea of herself that she has that’s grounded in reality. She’s the greatest history revisionist ever!
She just really likes to talk and talk doesn’t she?
Kook-Aid needs to be an actual thing, and LeAnn can be the face of it. I can imagine her busting through the wall of Brandi’s house to make sure Ediot isn’t there.
Imagine how she talks Ediot’s ear off each day. No wonder he looks like he has been hitting the hard stuff lately.
She also talked about her psoriasis. Claimed to have it since age 2, had to wear multiple layers of pantyhose while performing, etc., because she said it covered everywhere EXCEPT her face, hands and feet. She got it under control within the last 10 or so years (which would have been mid-20s).
@Christin,
I kind of get the idea you are disputing that she has psoriasis based on what she said about getting it on certain parts of her body? If I have read your comment wrong, I apologize, but psoriasis is weird that way, so it can be true. I have had psoriasis on my knees, elbows and ankles only-very bad for a time, and now have none. Mine has come and gone thankfully. Others have it worse, but it truly can show up in only certain parts of your body.
Thank you for sharing your experience, because her comments made me wonder if that is a common way for it to manifest. Sort of like when a Kardashian speaks, I never know what to believe.
There was a young woman on the same show who clearly had breakouts on her arms and legs that were healing. I was hoping someone with first hand knowledge of psoriasis would indicate whether LeAnn’s account sounded valid. Not that she would constantly have breakouts, but I just don’t recall her being consistently covered up for her teens and early 20s.
I think she is actually telling the truth about that. For one thing, I have multiple family members with psoriasis (I dodged that bullet, thankfully) and none of them have it on their face. For another, I used to work at the DFW airport, and LeAnn used to come through quite a bit, wearing long sleeves during 100 degree days.
All the other stuff, she’s utterly delusional about. There’s reality, and then there’s LeAnn’s reality. None of this stuff seems weird on the surface, but when you know the whole story, it’s all part of giant tapestry of wut?
Says the woman who uses social media to air all her laundry (dirty and clean). BTW, didn’t read the article.
Har har, “we fought hard to be together.” HAHAHAH!!! She only has him because Brandi refused to take him back. What a bunch of bullroar. And yes, social media can certainly be hateful, right Leann? You’re one of the most hateful people ON it. Just how stupid is this homewrecker, anyways?
Revisionist’s gonna revise.
+1
Don’t you just love it when somebody does awful things over and over for a prolonged period of time no less, just to turn around and cry victim when the inevitable backlash catches up. You are not a victim Shemann. You just had to pay the consequences for your hideous actions.
Oh, and you and Eddie do not have a stronger bond than any other couple. Every couple goes through stuff – it’s called life. Just because your stuff involved alot of hatred and calling both of you out doesn’t mean it was any more important or meaningful than any other couple’s highs and lows. If anything, the two of you are now limited regarding your opportunities and choices but that’s because you made yourselves a very messy bed you now have to lie in – like two criminals who have something on eachother. That doesn’t make you two bonded or even close – more like able to manipulate and emotionally blackmail eachother. I knew she’d have to drop something in there along those lines. Grrrr…….
This is such a great post. So was your comment on her extreme narcissism. She really is staggeringly deluded about her marriage and herself.
Exactly. She’s unable leave because the internet would explode with laughter.
And Eddie’s unable to leave because he burned threw all her money and would not be able to collect alimony. He would have to (GASP) go back to work and actually pay child support.
Like someone else said above, if she had just let things calm down for a couple of years, she (and he) would have been better off. She didn’t have to “fix” things; she had to win.
As for his own career and options — Look at how many holiday movies a certain family-oriented channel churns out each year. Someone recently pointed out that if nothing else, he should be able to land a role in one.
That’s such a great way to put it! That is exactly true.
Never understood why she got so much hate and why people were so obsessed with who Eddie cibrian dates, marries or cheats with. Weird. He seems like a douche anyway.
If you don’t understand why she gets so much hate, you’ve obviously never read the things she posts online just to taunt & torment the mother of her stepkids. She is a terrible, nasty person.
I don’t think Leann is a nice person but she tweets about her life which includes tweets about Eddie and her stepsons and that gets twisted into she is taunting and tormenting Brandi. I am not saying that Leann has never done anything inappropriate toward Brandi on social media, she has, and Brandi has done likewise, they are both immature women who cannot be exercise restraint.
@aaa
Go back and read old posts. Like alll the way back. She’s a lot more…restrained now, probably because she finally figured out that it didn’t make her look good at all, and it most likely affected her bottom line, but she absolutely did taunt Brandi in the beginning. It’s only really petered off in the last year or two.
But just start with her buying a house in Brandi’s neighborhood, right after their divorce. Going to Brandi’s kids’ parent teacher conferences AS THE GIRLFRIEND. Oh, and I seem to remember when she went to their school for some show and tell thing (to sing, most likely), and tweeted the name of their school, when no one on social media/the world knew where those two boys went to school. Let’s see….the creepy birthday cake with Leann and Eddie in bed, and the two boys at the foot of the bed (wtf?)…. tweeting about “bonus moms” on Mother’s Day. And so on and on and on and on.
Ooh, and that ridic reality show. Showed footage of the two boys in the beginning montage, yet she and Eddie gave Brandi so much hell for showing them (or trying to get permission to) in the background of a birthday party, with all the other kids of the cray cray Housewives.
Bragging on Social media how Ed’s kids were singing the song Borrowed was an all time low. Very passive aggressive and weasly in her taunting. Going to the same Pilates studio that the ex has gone to for years? Classic. Suing a teacher, a maid a dentist is not normal either. Surrounding herself with no one but enablers. It is very telling that even with her huge talent no major record label wants to touch her with a 10 foot pole. Her actions and history speaks VOLUMES.
@Virgilia Coriolanus,
When you go back and read old posts most of them are about Brandi going on the offensive against Leann and/or Eddie. Brandi behavior has been attention-seeking, vindictive and inappropriate from the very beginning but she was given the benefit of the doubt and sympathy because her husband cheated on her, divorced her and took up with the other woman. Brandi is not significantly different today than she was 5-6 years ago, it’s just that she automatically got a repository of goodwill because her husband cheated on her but she used up that repository and now people see her for the awful person she is.
I agree that Leann and Eddie’s should have been more tactful when they started dating and should have exercised more restraint but don’t pretend that Brandi was at home licking her wounds, she was attacking them in the media including calling Eddie out for being a bad father and calling Leann a sugarmama.
Regarding the things you listed, I am not seeing them as egregious offenses, tactless perhaps but not egregious. I don’t see anything wrong at all Leann moving into a house in her boyfriend’s neighborhood, by the way she was rented that house.
The kids are not only Brandi’s kids, they are Eddie’s too and they live with Eddie and Leann for the same amount of time that they live with Brandi. I think that the argument can be made that Eddie and Leann moved too fast when it came to creating a family unit consisting of Eddie, Leann, Mason and Jake, but once they became a family unit I don’t see why there should have been restrictions placed when it came to things like going to parent-teacher conferences. Regarding singing at Mason’s school, I’m assuming that Leann was asked to sing and accepted the invitation.
I think that there’s been a lot of tacky and tactless behavior going on, but I think that Leann’s behavior is rooted mostly in her being tactless and tacky, but yeah she has behaved inappropriately towards Brandi but that was and is a two-way street and IMO the reason that Leann and Eddie got villainized for their actions had more to do with the sympathy that Brandi got for being the scorned women rather than Eddie and Leann actually being more villainous than Brandi.
@AAA: Hi Leanne!
Or kiki.
@aaa
I don’t know what I can say to someone who doesn’t find it creepy, crazy, and inappropriate that a woman who had an affair with a married man, would then go and rent/buy WHATEVER a house in said wife’s same neighborhood. REALLY? She’s the girlfriend. Not the wife, she didn’t move in with Eddie…..HE didn’t rent the house and then she move in with him……no, she rented it. And then started showing up to parent teacher conferences……
And we aren’t talking about Brandi. What she has done i.e. been a crazy drunken mess all on her own, has no bearing on the fact that Leann had an affair with her husband, released video where they were caught making out, to tabs so that he would leave his wife (hint: he didn’t, she kicked him out), then starting SWF’ing her life, and became basically a terrible co-parent, and backed up Eddie in his shitty treatment of Brandi. What kind of a person makes your ex pay back child support? Yea. Eddie. Let’s not even get into bragging on twitter that her stepson was singing a song about how she “borrowed” his dad from his mom. Real classy. Not.
Eddie and Leann were villainized (especially Leann) because she wouldn’t shut up about how SHE was the victim. Or how she went around insinuating that her ex was gay and in the closet. If she had shut up about how she and Eddie got together, then nothing Brandi could’ve said (and she has that right to say what she wants, considering how they screwed her over) would’ve made the situation seem SO BAD and definitely believable.
Leanne volunteered to sing for either show and tell or career day and the school said ok.
Oh, please. Everyone was following along and it was all documented here. Everyone is well aware of the horrid harassment campaign that Leann launched, with the help of her twitter friends and employees, against Brandi.
@Virgilia Coriolanus,
As you indicated in your first sentence we are of different minds on this matter. If you think that it is “creepy, crazy, and inappropriate” for someone to rent a house in the same area as her boyfriend then we are on vastly different pages.
That Leann had an affair with Brandi’s husband is true, but it is an assumption that Leann was the one who leaked the information to the media. It’s debatable regarding whether Eddie left Brandi or Brandi kicked him out, it can be argued that Eddie filing for divorce indicates that he ended the relationship. Brandi’s claim that she kicked Eddie out does not pass the sniff test IMO – she supposedly told him to leave but he didn’t move out… she still loved him… she hoped he’d come back to her… blah blah blah. If Brandi actually told Eddie to leave, it seemed like a hollow edict.
You ask “what kind of person makes their ex pay back child support?” Well what kind of person goes to the media and says her estranged husband is a bad father? As I’ve already stated, I’m not claiming that Leann and Eddie actions were appropriate, they were not, but neither was Brandi’s and it was an acrimonious break up and neither party was willing to let go of their hostility and be the bigger person.
@aaa
You forget that Brandi was the person who asked people to stop trashing Leann & Ed. No such request was ever made from Leann or Ed. Also, Leann will delete all negatives towards her on her IG account, yet leave the negative ones about Brandi. Furthermore, if Brandi has been in defensive mode all these years, she has had good reason. What was she supposed to do? Throw Leann a parade, hand over her children and fade away? I’m sure that is what Leann wished she would do!
I think the media likes to take shots at her but she brings it on herself most of the time. What she did was wrong, but she is not the only one that has done it( Angelina Jolie, etc …….). She is just a classic example, of what not to do when you are in a situation like this. So sad because she can actually sing, she has talent.
Angelina Jolie was not married, she was either separated or divorced already from Billy Bob, and did not break up a family with children.
Brad and Jennifer did not have children.
It’s not even remotely the same.
Ummm, sorry, it IS the same. Breaking up a marriage is the same as breaking up a family and it’s NOT something to justify. Angie and Brad DID do the same thing, they were just much quieter and more tactful about the aftermath. Still wrong.
This woman. Is it impossible for her to be truthful about anything??
Looking at pictures of her and eddie, he’s always walking in front of her, she looks desperate trying to grab ahold of his arm for paps. When off guard, he casts side eye looks towards her of scorn and disgust. He drags her around to her concerts to keep her from cancelling. She looks medicated, he probably manages her meds to keep her depression and anxiety in check. Her career is dead. Too bad, she blew it.
If her lips are moving, she is lying! On 1 of the many shows she has managed two push her stupid face onto, they gave EVERYONE in the audience one of her ‘hot selling (ya right–NOT!) albums. Who pays for those? I assume the show?!?
From what I read she paid for the CDs to be burned/copied. She also paid for the CD jackets that she signed ahead of time for that CD signing no one showed up to.
I’m sure they used those to give to the audience.
Some of her twitter fans (the whole three) were begging for a free copy.
Darrell Brown. When she was in Nashville people noticed that her album started to move on the Itunes chart after weeks of being ranked in the 80s and then a day later, she bragged about how she was signing 300 copies of her CDs for a special project. She later told one of her fans that the 300 signed CDs were for the NBC instore she was doing on 11/30, but why would she tell her fans she would signing CDs on 11/30 if she already signed them weeks before? Leann wasn’t being honest, those CDs they gave away are the 300 CDs she signed in Nashville.
It’s interesting how facts get forgotten where LeAnn is concerned. LeAnn pretended to go into rehab to avoid all the backlash she got for filing a lawsuit against a woman who teaches handicapped children and has several handicapped children of her own.
Yes, social media can be a terrible thing in the hands of an obsessed has-been like LeAnn who obtained the phone number of that handicapped teacher from one of LeAnn’s twitter trolls and then LeAnn proceeded to call the teacher and cuss her out.
btw-LeAnn has definitely has an “eye-job” and probably other work done. She doesn’t even look like herself…………..or maybe it’s the lack of bikini wear.
Leann forgets there are websites about her that documents her crazy on a daily basis.
I have to admit I read one of then on a daily basis and went back into the archives just for fun to pass a boring day.
I almost forgot most of the crazy Leann was involved with in the past five years:
The lawsuits
buying the exact items of clothing the ex wanted
the crazy fondant cakes
the entourage she use to have follow her to the soccer matches
the reality show the was scripted
the weekly trips to the ER
the cancelling of concerts
and the lavish trips that have dwindled down to RV trips.
Leann keeps the crazy going
And I am not the only one that hopes it continues until she finally turns 50! Years of entertainment and laughter!!
I wish I could quit her.
Every time I come here I convince myself that I’m only going to read and not comment.
But she’s comedy gold.
At this point I can’t even remember how I caught on to the Wewe craziness. It may have started on this website. But damn, I can’t look away from this looney toon for the life of me. It is truly amazing watching her twist herself into knots trying to prove what an epic love story she and Ed are. Ed ain’t the type, LeAnn.
Leanne, please listen! There is a given formula on human behavior. This is written in books. Listen! The way eddie acts towards you clearly shows he is not into you. The public has observed his behavior for 3 years now. Like in the Xmas sleigh ride picture, eddie would have automatically sat next to you in the sled, not next to Mason. Mason and Jake would have already known you two would be sitting together, and they would have sat on one side. They obviously know you are not a united couple. They watch their dad’s actions.
Take a seat, Attentionho.
The Grammy nominations were announced yesterday. So on the very same day that the Grammy nominations for 2016 are announced, NBC just so happens to release a pre-recorded interview of Leann whining about how much SHE(not Brandi, Dean, Jake, and Mason) has suffered on Dr. Oz? It was just another ploy to get attention because once again she hasn’t been able to get a Grammy nomination or a Grammy invite since Darrell Brown was on the main Grammy planning committee. What’s interesting is that not a lot of blogs are reporting on Leann’s Dr. Oz interview, but why would they? The Grammy nominations were announced yesterday, who would the blogs pay more attention to? Leann who has given the same victim interview since 2009 or the Grammy nominations? Will Leann be invited to the 2016 Grammys? If not look out for her release another interview detailing how she has suffered the day or the day before the Grammys air.
When Leann talks about people bullying her because of her weight and Psoriasis, I get the impression that she is talking about Eddie. Based on how often Leann morphs into other women, you have to wonder if Eddie is very vocal about comparing Leann to other women he comes in contact with. Why was Leann even talking about positive body image when she spends so much time trying to be other women? Those 2 hairstyles she wore while in New York weren’t her ideas, she copied them from a model and one of her twitter friends who likes to post photos of her and Eddie on her instagram account.
Notice how after the negative feedback she received from the “I take 40 pills” interview, she now has no clue how many vitamins she takes? That is what happens when she copies the details of another woman’s life. She saw Brandi’s interview about how she takes a lot of vitamins and then she just regurgitated it.
Eddie can’t even fight to get a real job for his kids, so why are we supposed to believe that Eddie would put that much energy into his relationship with Leann? In every photo of him in New York he looked mad and drunk. In the photos that Leann posted on their Thanksgiving week vacation with Kiki, Jake, and Mason, Eddie looked mad and drunk. Someone found photos of Eddie gambling at 3 am on Thanksgiving Day.
If Leann and Eddie communicated, then why is she constantly making excuses? Like the time she tweeted that she was watching a Laker’s game with Eddie and then one of her fans told her that the Laker’s game wasn’t on and Leann then tweeted that she said that because that was what Eddie told her. But if she was in the same room with Eddie watching the game like she tweeted, then she would have know that the game wasn’t on. The time she tweeted that she was in a dim room listening to music with Eddie and then when one of her fans asked why she was still tweeting 2 hours later, she said that she was waiting for Eddie to come up stairs because he was downstairs picking out floors.
What struggles have Leann and Eddie had? Eddie’s cheating? Eddie calling her unattractive? Eddie wanting to be paid before the staged photo-ops? Brandi? Lizzy?
Eddie fought to be Leann? When? When he was calling her unattractive and denying that he was sleeping with her? Was it when he was meeting up with Scheana while they were dating? Maybe he was fighting for Leann when he stood on a balcony and watched Leann make out with Lizzy? The only thing Eddie has fought for is the money. Notice how quickly he forgets about his kids when it comes time to vacation?
He’s so in love with his wife that he defended her by saying:
The marriage is functional.
That LeAnn surrounds herself with yes men.
He should put that in a card.
You forgot she claimed that Eddie was sitting next to her at the David Gray concert. The one where she was singing and talking so loud in the audience that a dj reported it on his radio show.
Let’s not forget the chalk board she claimed Eddie made when in reality she bought it from the retreat she vacations at frequently.
And the time she said they werr spending a romantic evening together and some spotted him at the airport.
Pure gold as always!
I don’t know that this is related to the subject at hand, but your talking about the Grammy’s reminded me – if you’ve watched The Voice this season, there is a country singer on Adam’s team who I swear, sounds exactly like LeAnn…her tone, her enunciation, everything minus the yodel. This new young lady is awesome and in her prime and in the hands of Adam now, but probably Blake later because he is country dude. My point is, Country Music doesn’t need Leanne’s voice anymore. They have a new girl coming and she’s just as good and not cray cray. So long Leanne. I think you just got replaced!
The new girl is probably truly grateful for the opportunity and will work hard. She’s probably less demanding, too.
I like a good comeback story, but it takes consistent work and humility to climb back up the ladder. That’s what LeAnn seems to lack.
And he called his affair with leanne a speed bump in his relationship with Brandi. This is why leanne makes up stories to rewrite history because originally she was a side piece with many others for casual sex. She wants the public to believe he left Brandi and kids for leanne because their love was so strong. Not!
I’m sure its not helpful that lLeAnn gives magazine interviews bashing country music and the stars like she the Clive Davis of country. She’s so bitter that no one adores her, like Taylor Swift ,WHO ripped off her 1989 by putting 1982 on her merchandise no one is buying.
Let’s not forget how she bashed Carrie Underwood by saying she hasn’t paid her dues when she won awards fresh off of idol. Now Carrie is performing at venues while Leann showe up in the same town of the same venues hoping to be asked to perform.
Carrie and Leann put out their last CD around the same time. Carrie is killing the chart while Leann claims she high on non existent charts.
Her Carrie comments were incredible, considering (1) she didn’t have a dog in the race that year (it was Faith under scrutiny for making a face on camera, which rightfully garnered negative press), and (2) she had been on Star Search as a child.
I noticed that too and I think that happens to most of us at some point.
Is it true her famous RV was repossessed? Someone brought it up but no one has confirmed it.
Maybe it was leased?
They certainly haven’t been to Cabo in quite some time.
They haven’t been on the RV in a very long time. They probably coukdn’t afford the lease any more. They remortgaged their home recently. They are obviously bleeding cash. She’s always been careless with her spending, according to her Father and ex-husband. Eddie literally brings in zero money. I get the feeling they have major cash flow problems and very few assets. They lease all of their vehicles, other than the truck Brandi’s Dad gave Eddie and Brandi. He leases at least one of his motorcycles. They have that Frankenstein, mishmash of a house that is mortgaged to the max too. I’d be willing to bet that they are drowning in debt,
Me, me, me, me, me. Not to diminish the terrible effects that bullying can have, but this woman’s biggest problem isn’t bullying; it’s her utter self-absorption. Get a life, Leann! Do a social media detox.
She’s trying really hard to reignite that former career. Everything she is saying is all recycled, memorized words from long ago interviews. The country scene is over her forever. There are better singers out there now with much better stage presence and the ability to be interesting in interviews. All she has in her brain is her 30 year career, love story with Eddie and her perfect borrowed boys oh, and for goodness sake, don’t forget the bikini story. She is so annoying and egotistical even without her history of cheating.
Oh man I know this is super bitchy but she is looking soooooooo damn ugly right now, oui? She has had something done to her face and it’s made her eyes look even more evil than usual. Plus she looks greasy and oily and that makeup is freakn diabolical.
She deserves all the bad karma in the world for how she has behaved. And Eddie is a disgusting weasel of a man. I’m old now but when I was young with naturally long blonde hair and perky tits I worked as a cocktail waitress in the high rollers room at a casino and I’m all too familiar with this kind of immense douche. Good looking, charming and shallow as a puddle, always looking for the next root (Aussie word) so they can look like a legendary lothario (despite having a wife and kiddies at home).
LeAnn is miserable as f*ck but is too embarrassed to admit it so she has to keep flogging this story that her and Eddie have some sort of unique epic love, like a c and w freaking Romeo and Juliet or something. What an epically deluded mind she has. They really are two complete losers.
Great post! Lol
Love your post, Heidi!
For the first time, Leann is actually right. Yes, social media is a breeding ground for hate and she is a prime example of that. The fact that her CDs tanked and 10 people showed up in NYC to see her (and that is pushing it) that she is the master of her own destiny—and her destiny is to continue to fail over and over. Brandi, her husband…no one else was the cause of this. Her blooming evil ways, bad work ethic, bad attitude, narcissistic personality, and smugness got her in this blooming trouble to begin with. I think the only true fan who believe she is a goddess who walk on water is that creature, Johanna, the fan with the 600 piece (plus) Leann shrine in her bedroom. OMG, I need to take a shower. I suddenly feel seriously grossed out.
She kills me, I’m so fascinated by her craziness! She describes their love as if it’s the greatest love story ever told, they don’t share a bond that’s unlike most, what a ridiculous thing to say and I wonder if she truly believes that or if he feeds her this bs in order to get his allowance. True love does not do what these two have done, if they had a real bond they would’ve run off into the sunset and lived a quiet life and happily ever after, but she’s STILL stalking his ex wife and taunting her on social media, and the only reason she would be mad at Brandi is knowing deep down that Eddie would rather be with her but she kicked him out. He’s made a complete fool out of LeAnn, she has ruined her entire career and image over a man who doesn’t even work, it’s sad really, but it’s karma hard at work.
I do wish she’d leave the kids out of her mouth, I find it extremely creepy that she calls them “the babies”, just like Brandi, something is not right with that woman and one day she’s going to snap.
Those boys aren’t and never will be her “babies”. She refuses to accept that they came from another woman. It’s pathetic and actually scary. Her penchant for the hashtag #stepsonlove is what disturbs me the most. It’s so inappropriate.
If eddie stood up publicly to declare ” this is my wife, I love her, please leave us alone”, everyone would back off and leanne would be soaring with the stars. He doesn’t do this because in his mind he is going to make her pay for destroying his family. His two best friend are still married and living with their children. Also, the fact is he really doesn’t love her, but being an actor he could of pretended. He doesn’t want to, he’s in the drivers seat, he doesn’t have to say or do anything and leanne still wants him.
Exactly! One sincere public declaration of love from him would have shut everyone up (including LeAnn possibly). That’s never happened. I wonder if the people who believe her “we’re so in love, no one has a love like we do” ever question why he says absolutely nothing? Or why anyone would think that if the relationship was anything like she tries to claim it is (no one has a perfect relationship) she would spend so much time on social media trying to prove it? If she was a happy person (and they were a happy couple) she would be living and enjoying her life and she’d still be best known for being a country music star.
Well I can see a lot people on here are BG supporters . Move on people get over it .
@tinker(Teri) People are over it but doesn’t change the kind of person Leann has become which is sad.
You don’t have to be a BG supporter to not agree with or like Leann for being a horrible person.
As long as LeAnn continues to make a fool of herself with interviews like this one, people are going to comment. Most are going to be negative because she’s just an unlikable, vile person who needs the world to believe her husband loves her when it’s very clear that he doesn’t.
It has nothing to do with Brandi Glanville anymore. It’s a shame her few fans hang on to that notion so tightly, but I guess it’s the only excuse they have left.
Mamy people who aren’t Brandi Glanville fans, dislike LeAnn big time. Tons actually. My main reason for disliking LeAnn now, beyond her constant lying and delusional perception of herself, is her complete lack of boundaries and utter obnoxiousness, in regards to children who aren’t hers. Having had an incredibly inappropriate step-mother, I know how this will affect the boys later on. I also know that LeAnn will pay dearly for her antics in the future. When the boys see how “Uncle Darrell” harrassed and abused their Mother, how LeAnn favourites every idiot who slags Brandi on her social media, how she interferred with co-parenting and how she herself tormented their Mother on purpose, they won’t react kindly. She’s going to get a good hard slap of reality, which isn’t something she handles well.
I am shocked that Dr. Oz gave this woman a platform. And especially on the subject of body dismorphia!!She has no credibility and,in my eyes at least, her appearance damaged his credibility. I believe he is actual an MD, a surgeon and a Harvard graduate. Is it obvious to everyone else that Leann needs some support except him? His oath says “do no harm”, yet he bowed (or knelt) down to her celebrity and ignored glaring open wounds. I’ll never watch his show again.
One of the posters mentioned couple of LeAnn’s male fans were part of the teacher lawsuit and one was banned from Twitter. Would that be amejean or the guy who wrote that children’s book about single moms,(James ) yet bashed Brandi (a single mom)? wonder if his publishing company has seen his Brandi bashing tweets, especially the one begging dancing with the stars to not hire her and calling her a c**t. they might have thought otherwise. Leann has encouraged so many of her vile fans to bash Brandi on social media that she of all people has no right to play victim.
