As we covered yesterday, Brandi Glanville spoke to Nik Richie’s podcast about LeAnn Rimes this week. Brandi and LeAnn’s beef is neverending, although the beef has been on a low simmer for a few years, with very few bombs lobbed on either side. But Brandi decided to talk openly about how much it upsets her that LeAnn consistently posts photos of Mason and Jake (Eddie and Brandi’s sons) on her social media, especially over the holidays. Brandi even said that she asked LeAnn politely to cut it out – just for the holidays! And LeAnn refused. Many of us wondered how LeAnn would react to being called out by Brandi publicly yet again. Well, LeAnn reacted… by sending Eddie out to do the dirty work.
It’s been nearly seven years since he split from Brandi Glanville, but Eddie Cibrian says his ex still isn’t playing nice.
“It upsets me,” Cibrian tells PEOPLE of Glanville’s recent interview in which the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star says she asked his wife LeAnn Rimes, 33, to stop posting photos of her children on social media, but was rebuffed. Not to mention, “Brandi is lying,” says Cibrian, 42. “She lies for the sake of publicity and she has to bring in my wife unfortunately for it to make headlines. It isn’t fair. She never asked LeAnn to not post pictures of the kids during the holidays, ever. They don’t even talk!”
With regards to Glanville’s complaints that she doesn’t see her children as much as she’d like to, Cibrian says, “She sees the kids as much as I do. She was with them for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. And I miss my kids tremendously when they’re not with me, but I don’t ask her not to post pictures.”
And Cibrian says he just wants the best for his sons Mason, 12 and Jake, 8, who have a happy relationship with their stepmother. “The kids have lived in a household with LeAnn and me longer than they ever lived in a household with me and Brandi. This is normal. They’re well-adjusted. But it saddens me that they can get on the Internet and get influenced by this negativity that only comes from one side. That’s really disheartening. Brandi’s play is to keep this going, and I’m shocked that the press still takes the bait. It’s unfortunate. She won’t [leave us alone]. One day, I hope it all goes away, because it’s been long enough.”
As for the personal attacks against his wife, “It’s unfair for LeAnn,” says Cibrian. “What has she done? Nothing, but love the children.” And after all, “[Our sons] have a mother who loves them, and a father and a stepmother who loves them. That’s all that should matter.”
There’s always been a question in my mind about how much Eddie gets off on having his ex-wife and his current wife fight about him. There’s also been a question in my mind about just how Machiavellian Eddie really is. Over the years, I’ve kind of realized that he’s not really smart, he’s just shady and sneaky. Squirrely, if you will. But I think he honestly takes LeAnn’s side and I think he honestly has this perspective: that Brandi is a terrible liar and she’s always saying things to undermine LeAnn. He honestly believes that. And the sh-tty co-parenting situation is on him, he should have put his foot down long ago about what is and is not appropriate between LeAnn and his sons. Also: I do not think Brandi was lying about asking LeAnn not to post photos over the holidays. I just think Brandi probably asked years ago and she gave up on the issue because nothing changed.

I want to see the video of Eddie giving these quotes because I have a feeling that either Leann or Kiki “disguised”their voice.
This ‘interview’ was likely written and submitted.
However, I heard him say something similar when he was promoting the short-lived reality show. The interviewer (Kimmel?) called out some of his claims, and Ed quickly backed down and showed his dimples.
This sounds exactly like it came straight from Rimes herself. Although from what I saw of their “scripted reality show” Eddie is an even bigger delusional douchebag than he already appeared to be. Brandi has even asked publicly in the past, for Leann to lay off all the “happy family” postings of her children. Many times.
Nick,
That is an excellent point, Rimes supposedly opened an Eddie Cibrian instagram account.
Let’s just say on the “off” chance the philanderer did say this, pot meet kettle. No one is a bigger liar than Skeez Ann and her paid for hubby.
Eddie should never talk about other people lying. Ask him how many women HE LIED TO WHILE HE WAS HAVING AFFAIRS WITH THEM. Some even while his WIFE was home pregnant, This man is repugnant. consider how he was lying that he was not having an affair with Leman when he really was and he called Leman a speed bump. Needs to get off his lazy duff and WORK to help support his kids. Walmarts is hiring greeters. He is disgusting
Never forget, Eddie was sleeping with Brandi, Scheana Marie and Leann, ALL at the same time. He only stopped sleeping with Brandi, when she kicked him out!
@Nick: who’s kiki? Also, Eddie is an idiot. He said that he misses his kids when Brand has them but he doesn’t ask her not to post pictures of the kids. The difference is that LR is the one posting pictures, not Eddie, their other parent. Brandi isn’t asking Eddie not to post. She asked Leann.

This interview reminds me of “Eddie’s” twitter page.
His Instagram was also filled with girly sounding gems.
Other gems:
Three “cute butts” going to visit LeAnn
Writing about” dancing in the rain”
Writing about “his beautifully relationship with LeAnn ”
“for all the dudes out there that concert was Off The Hook”
soooo priceless
Don’t forget the smiley face emoticons (insert eye roll here).
Oldie but goodie:
His first Instagram account.
For a tiny beautiful second I thought that headline said : ‘LeAnn is lying’
what a day that would have been
We’re all waiting for that day and it can’t come soon enough.
The divorce will happen eventually, and Eddie will throw LeAnn under the bus.
Sorry to say as sleazy and slimy as Eddie is, as crazy and pathetic as LeeAnn is, Brandi has proven herself to be a drunken and jerky liar who will do anything for attention and sympathy. No one is right in this story and I don’t know why we are talking about this anymore.

@Talie
Brandi, the poor Girl formerly of RHOBH is the most negative, ungraceful caricature who used to be on TV. Why slap, and throw wine at your castmates who truly loved to be around you and have accepted your bizzare personality flaws? But I am most concerned for her kids who literally have no positive role models in their life. I’ll be an old woman when they begin to resent their attention starved parents the way that only teenagers can.
as sleazy and slimy as Eddie is, as crazy and pathetic as LeeAnn is, Brandi has proven herself to be a drunken and jerky liar who will do anything for attention and sympathy.
+1000!!!
Oooh, bold and italics for emphasis. Yes, we get it, AAA. You’re a Brandi hater. That’s fine because I am a LeAnn hater. But I don’t feel compelled to put it in bold and italicize it. LOL
She provided proof today in the form of an email just sent to Eddie and LEann in November, so, nope, she was 100% telling the truth. Go read it.
But really – are we going to single her out for being a liar when the other party involved was constantly caught in her lies? She cancels shows like crazy, mostly all last minute, and is CONSTANTLY getting some kind of dental work done- for attention. This is the same woman who posted in the same tweet about her friends mother dying and how SHE had the flu – as if they’re comparable and also to garner attention.
So I say, let’s scratch the lying attention grabbing part because they both do it enough that it ‘cancels’ it out to the point where I’m not sure we can single one or the other out for it.
But at the end of the day – Eddie is hearing his wife’s story. He’s not necessarily getting the ‘truth’ of things that are said between Brandi and Leann – and he’s the catalyst for all of these problems. He’s the worst one of the three.
The only reason why it’s always worth pointing this out is because Brandi still has a legion of stans who refuse to acknowledge that she actively engages in the same behavior that she criticizes Meanne and Tooly McToolshed for.
But I agree that out of the three idiots, Brandi is the most likable/sympathetic.
I agree that he is the worst of the three. I don’t know that he’s smart enough to really be planning pulling strings but I do think even stupid people understand what is hurtful and he plays to that with his ex and current wife.
I don’t like ANY of them but I think it’s kind of ridiculous the way both women are picked apart for every little thing that would just be a normal part of family life. Do I think LeAnn is unhappy and maybe not very stable? Yeah. But I also think Brandi is both of those things. And wouldn’t we all be for awhile if we were attached to Eddie?
What bugs me is if all this stuff about how the real parents are always the best ever for kids train of thought is followed through then really all the blame should be landing firmly at Eddie’s feet for what is going on in their home.
She posts quotes without credit and when caught says she just found it anonymously. Yet, the quote with the author attached is pinned on her Pinterest. She steals people’s photos and outright lies that she didn’t do it then blocks the photographer from her SM. She lies about sickness to cancel concerts then goes to NBA games, or Disney. The chick is a habitual liar. That’s been proven time and again. Eddie on the other hand has his fair share of lying too. Not to mention apparently being totally delusional and unaware of how Leann spends her time on social media. The bit about Leann never doing anything negative is hilarious. I don’t know how he spends his time during the hours a day Leann is on Twitter but he might want to look into it. And then there’s the icing on the cake: I guess he knows that reality show was pretty bad, because he seems to want to forget it ever happened.
There are websites dedicated to documenting LeAnn’s shenanigans. They have documented all of her crap for over six years. This is not made up. All the documentation comes from LeAnn herself. All of it. From all of her social media.
No kidding Brandi’s not a saint. We get that. But lets not forget who helped her get to where she is. Who antagonized her?
As an all around person I agree Eddie is the worst (though Brandi is not a nice person) as a parent though? Brandi has shown herself to be as bad if not worse in that she relishes airing her dirty laundry for attention. She picks the scab of her 7 year old divorce at any opportunity. She loves to publicly feud and eggs on the people that have been over invested in this breakup for nearly a decade. She will always return to this well because she will always get sympathy but none of this rehashing is good for the kids.
@Luca76-Exactly. Even on yesterday’s thread people were making it seem like Brandi was trying to protect her kids from social media when really it was all about her and her hurt feelings and some free press doesn’t hurt either.
That doesn’t mean that Leanne and Eddie aren’t aholes of the highest power but really, do they have any supporters left? She probably pays for IG followers and her limited fanbase are people who remember her singing voice from when she was a kid and willfully ignore her current behavior.
Is there a link to this Leann Shenanigans website?
All three appear to use those kids for publicity. Social media, paps taking pics at ball games — they (kids) have no real privacy.
I thought part of why she doesn’t want LeAnn to post pictures of the kids is because Eddie blocked her from allowing their kids to be shown on RHOBH at all?
@Dizzle
I honestly think it might be against the rules to give it to you by name.. But you can Google ‘big fat liars’ and add LeAnn’s name.
@funckes, the actions of her ex-husband and his current wife did not “drive” Brandi Glanville to become unstable. She was likely that all on her own. She uses them to justify some pretty bad behavior on her part, but that doesn’t mean she was driven to act badly any more than Kelly Rutherford was “driven” to act badly because of her ex-husband.
None of these people are very good people. But the notion that Brandi Glanville is somehow demonstrably a “better person” than her ex is not borne out by her own behavior.
@EOA
I never typed anything about’ driven’ or ‘better person’
I believe these are all your words. And I have no idea how Kelly Rutherford got in there but my main point is that Brandi is working and Eddie is not exactly filling up his IMDB page.
Brandi has mentioned what is given in child support It is minuscule.
Brandi is the main contributor of her household. Therefore unless Eddie is pulling his weight he should really take a seat and be quiet.
@funckes
Thanks, I’m familiar with that thread I think LOL
I thought maybe there was something shorter, that thread has like 3000 pages! Which also demonstrates the realness of the thirst.
LOL Meanie and McToolshed, love it. I am all for Let them all go!!!! Can we make 2016 the year we stop writing and listening to any of the them!!!! None are sympathetic characters we all need to let it go and find more interesting gossip to go to. We may be a week late, but this is my and I hope others NY resolution let them go they just say the dumbest things anyway.
@funckes, my mistake, you didn’t use the word driven. But you did say, “No kidding Brandi’s not a saint. We get that. But lets not forget who helped her get to where she is. Who antagonized her?”
Brandi wasn’t “antagonized” into being a narcissist by Eddie Cibrian and Leann Rimes anymore than Kelly Rutherford was “antagonized” into being a narcissist. Narcissist aren’t created by the bad behavior of their loved ones. Cibrian is not to blame for Brandi’s behavior, Brandi is.
@EOA
I honestly never typed any of that. There are alot of comments close together therefore its easy to get them mixed up. Please believe me. Honest.
@EOA
When I’m wrong, I admit it. I just read my comment above and totally forgot I typed. My bad. Brainfreeze.
My sentiments as well.
@EOA
I really wish people would stop throwing around the title ‘narcissist’ like it’s candy. NPD is a rare personality disorder, I find it very unlikely that two narcissists could ever actually be married to eachother, let alone date for any period of time.
I agree with everything else you’ve said, and while negative experiences in life can give you a personality disorder, I agree that I do not feel like this is what happened. Brandi is better than Leann or Eddie but the broad had issues long before she met either one of them.
+1000000 – Yes … Yes … A MILLION times yes!
Yeah but they ARE her children. And it would gall me to an almost homicidal fugue state if the woman who slept with my husband and broke up my family posted pictures of my children as if they were hers. Seriously she would need a restraining order post haste. I can think of few things more disrespectful. Really a no brainer.
Drunken liar, attention wh@4r, whatever.
Brandi wins this argument everytime.
Eddie forgets that Brandi had to get a job to do publicity to pay for her sons livelihood because he’s a STAY AT HOME dad.
Brandi ——-WORKS
Eddie ———STAY AT HOME DAD
It wouldn’t bug me that Eddie is a stay at home dad if I didn’t get the feeling that he’s only doing it until LeAnn’s money completely runs out, and then he’ll leave her faster than you can say “bankrupt”
Really, she doesn’t. Because she brings this argument up whenever she needs sympathy or attention or to distract from some horrifyingly inappropriate behavior. So she doesn’t “win” because she isn’t saying such things because she truly wants resolution and a stable home for her children. She’s saying them to keep attention on her.
Also, the idea that she “works” is… interesting. At least her rival Leann has a skill. None of these people are anyone I would want in my life, but truly, Brandi is not the better person.
All three angles of this triangle deserve each other. The kids, on the other hand, do not.
THIS TIMES A MILLION
Yes!
Amen! They are all attention-seekers, dumb a box of rocks, narcissistic bags of poop, etc. They’re all worse than eachother.
Never understood the sympathy for this woman. I agree with Eddie: She keeps stirring the pot to keep her name in the papers.
Eddie and especially his wife (or as I like to call her…his meal ticket) do the exact same thing. He’s the last person who should be judging his ex or anyone for that matter for stirring the pot to get attention.
I feel sympathy for her because she has to deal with the lazy serial cheater and his creepy meal ticket (Leann is practically obsessed with her) and the woman’s problem with boundaries when it comes to being a step parent until her kids are adults.
You said it. No winners here.
@Luca76 this all damnit day. Brandi has shown herself how willing she is to lie and manipulate. She loves the drama. She loves it.
I have to agree to both sides. I think both women are opportunists, to some degree, but the man in the middle truly lacks compassion AND fuels the fire. It’s fine to post holiday photos, and Brandi doesn’t have to look, amirite? The response of Eddie’s is just truly mean spirited. “He” (Leeanne?) didn’t’ have to say anything, but instead called Brandi an unhappy liar, virtually jealous of his loving wife, and out to steal the children’s happiness. Horrible stuff. They all need to stop!
I agree with this analysis. As crappy as their reality show was, it revealed he’s as passive aggressive as anyone in the mix.
Why is he talking now? Was his allowance withheld until he spoke up?
Does Leann really have that much money?
The people they use to take big luxurious trips with went to Hawaii. They were on an RV trip.
My thoughts exactly, lol.
How much shall we bet that she furiously read through the comments on yesterday’s piece, had a tantrum, and cooked up some fiscal punishment for Special Ed until he read this dreck?
Did you see the DM comment section? wow she must have been eating her phone. I’m sure that put her right over the edge.
eddie has lied about everything. he lied to Brandi about his affair with leann, he lied to leann about his marriage, he lied in his statement that there was no affair. why is People publishing a statement from a known liar. or as Nick said above, did eddie even make a statement.
Eddie gets everything he wants by lying, and women are dumb enough to believe everything he says to them to be gospel. Leann still insists E didn’t cheat on her with that waitress while she was cheating with him on his wife. I guess he just told her it wasn’t true and she of course believed it. I wonder what color the sky is in his own little world. What an a**wipe.
He really is just the worst. And it never ceases to amaze me how people continue on when they are obviously caught out in their own lies and how they get the people who love them to believe it.
What amazes me even more is the lies are well documented by their own hand and they still deny it. This stuff is not pulled out of thin air.
No, this statement is not from Eddie, it’s totally from Leann who’s been getting quite a bit of backlash over this particular story.
Get a JOB douchebag!!
Best advice ever! hahah
How about nobody post pics of those kids on SM? I feel sorry for them. They are merely pawns between three total idiot famewhores.
Yea, it makes more sense if all three of them agree no pics of the kids, who are both old enough now to have problems with it. That kind of thing can be written into custody agreements.
Whether Brandi likes it or not, the kids do have a stepmother in their lives also. So they are part of their father’s other family as well. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing, dingaling though stepmom is in many other respects. But if kid pics from stepmom are bothering mom or the kids, it seems reasonable to just ban all pics from everybody. It just seems wrong if Brandi is posting pics also.
At this point, both LeAnn and Brandi have public profiles (even if they’re not the most respected). Give the kids some damn privacy.
Yes, what on earth has poor little LeAnn done? I’m glad you asked, Eddie. For starters, she cheated on her husband with you while you cheated on Brandi (and on LeAnn with that waitress), then when Brandi threw you out she married you and proceeded to get her sick fans to torture Brandi. She wore everything Brandi wore. She launched an all out war on your ex who’s crime was to be more attractive than she was. She told so many lies I’ve lost count. She posted pictures of your boys all over the first Christmas Brandi had to face being alone without her family. The list goes on. Poor LeAnn.
Surely you do not doubt the honorable Mr. C and his equally honorable wife? LOL
I think by this point, as you also mentioned yesterday GNAT, all parties just need to drop it. Eddie and LeAnn were no doubt THE WORST in this situation but at this point this is the new normal. Unfortunately, it sounds like they have absolutely never had a conscience about how awful they were and I do think without that acknowledgment and/or apology it must be hard to move on for Brandi. That said, based on this crazy interview and others, it seems obvious they’re not going to change. If I were Brandi I would be in therapy to figure out what was wrong with my picker and make sure I wouldn’t bring another problem into the kids’ lives!
Personally, I think she has moved on. She often asks people not to stir sh*t on Twitter, she repeatedly has made complimentary remarks towards Leann and Eddie, not that they’ve ever extended her the same courtesy. I really don’t think her saying I’ve moved on, there’s still one thing that bugs me but I’m not going to ever get my way with it, is the worst thing in the world. Leann and Eddie’s overreaction to what wasn’t really that big of a statement speaks volumes.
I think the thing that bugs me about those two is how awful and evil they both act, while simultaneously putting out all these love and light quotes and constantly putting on the act of how loving and compassionate and amazing they are.
I hate when people are fake like that, and think that everyone else is too stupid to pick up on it. I hate the lying. If you’re going to be an asshole, just own it.
Yes, you’re right, they should all drop it. I just couldn’t believe he was asking “what has LeAnn ever done?” with a straight face.
Claire, um, how has she moved on, exactly? After all, we’re talking about an interview in which she literally admits that it still upsets her and causes her to self-medicate. How is that moving on?
Well I had a ny resolution to not comment on this but me and about 150 others can’t seem to stop. I just have to say I really don’t think Brandi is having trouble getting over the divorce and affair no this is all about raising her profile and no better way than Leann. Yes even Eddie can be right once in a blue moon, but the funny part is I think Leann and Eddie need it and like it too. Seriously, these people seem to live pretty high on the hog with no jobs. Leann was opening for Billy Joel a while back, but I don’t think she has done much successfully since, and I know she has some leftover money from when she was working, but that has to be running a bit dry. Their social media blitz is all they have, and they all must be monetizing it someway. I don’t follow them so I have no clue how, but that is my guess.
anon33: I think she has moved on from caring about Eddie. I don’t think moving on means you have to roll over and be a doormat though. She’s still the kids’ mother and she will be forever. The definition of moving on to me doesn’t mean let your ex-husband and new wife act like asses nonstop and never defend yourself or never enact your authority as a parent. Some of you seem to think moving on means Brandi should be kissing Leann’s ass every day and showering her with gratitude and thankfulness. That’s delusional and insulting.
@Claire I’m not sure anybody in this particular part of the thread has said that. I think the point anon33 is making is that the self admission of self medicating is maybe indicative of not really being over it. I definitely understand how hard it is to deal with someone on a consistent basis you don’t agree with generally about anything and yet they are still involved in your life. But at some point you can’t let that rule your own behavior. As was mentioned much further down thread there are so many great, healthy ways to interact with family other than your children and friends for the holidays.
I know it’s going to sound as if I’m defending Ed, but I honestly believe he was sitting around enjoying his Don Julio and LeAnn gave him orders to defend her. Since Eddie has to live with her he decided to go along just to shut her up
I’m sure this is not helping her marriage getting him involved with this war. He already looks pissed in pictures with her.
I could tell she was up to something last night because she went radio silent on her social media. She claims she and Eddie were sitting around the record player listening to Joni Mitchell. Right.
Eddie probably disappeared to get some quiet.
He most likely disappeared alright but not to get some quiet 😉
Yesterday was Dave’s birthday(Lizzy’s husband), Dave was with Eddie when he was cheating on Brandi with Scheana. Which is a more likely scenario: Eddie spending his night giving hateful statements about Brandi to People or Eddie spending his night partying with Dave and a bunch of waitresses? Partying with Dave and the waitresses while Leann spends her night tweeting about the family record player she bought. What stands out is that Eddie says that the boys spent Christmas Day with Brandi. If Eddie had written this statement, wouldn’t he have known that his kids were with Brandi until 11 am, therefore they didn’t spend Christmas Day with their mother? Christmas morning and even then his wife was on twitter trying to make her fans think that Mason and Jake was with her Christmas morning.
Eddie was sitting in the room with Leanne and they were both singing to Joni Mitchell, while gazing adoringly into each other’s eyes. Eddie at the table doing some scrap-booking with the happeeeee family!! pictures, heart stickers and unicorns abound for his beloved and ADORED amazing and talented wife. Or maybe whittling some love trinkets from a tree in the back yard, for his truest love, the only one that matters. Blissful and heavenly! #Blessed #WhyEveryoneIsJealous
-quoted from inside Leanne’s brain
I don’t care about the adults in this situation-they can take care of themselves (or not) however they want. But I wish some judge would order the three of them into individual and family counseling/co-parenting classes and force them to address their issues for the sake of the children. They might seem happy and well adjusted now, but how can they not have a screwed up view of relationships after seeing how poorly the adults in their lives manage theirs?
I’m of the opinion that if you liked someone enough to create life with them, you have an obligation to find a way to maintain a good relationship with the other parent. Sometimes you have to set aside your own ego and do what is best for your child(ren).
The only thing I cared to notice is that it has been 7 years since this whole thing started – how time flies.
Which is an eternity in a kid’s life. How bizarre their world must be. But they’re probably aware by now to what extent they’re just used as pawns for the adults to hurt each other. I am a little curious how the kids deal with it. They deserve their privacy, but I do wonder what they really think of it all.
+1,000,000
Poor kids, man…
I hate to say this but since they’ve basically been taught this family drama is the key to financing their lives, there may be a book some day.
This has gone on so long, it must seem normal to them. And that is sad.
Some people seem as obsessed with Leanne and Brandi as they were 7 years ago.
I think we’re all sick of the Brandi pity party. She just misses being on RHOBH, but she should’ve thought of that before she decided to blow it all up by being foolish.
I have to agree here. She totally pissed away a good opportunity for income.
What? Did she get wasted and pee her pants? Did I miss something? Oh, you mean she took the show for granted. I thought maybe there’s a pic of her with a pee spot on her pants while she’s being dragged out of some bar. My bad.
She didn’t just “take the show for granted.” She began multiple fights with her cast mates and it became pretty clear last year that she likely has a drinking problem. And if we must get into it, the year before, she was so drunk coming out of a club that she exposed herself in a really, awful humiliating way. The idea that she’s Saint Brandi is a little odd given her track record.
I know. I was joking. And I’m know the exact photo(s) you’re alluding to – the infamous “string” show.
Ah, okay.
She’s the mother of your children & they can read. Have a little decorum, douche.
Exactly! Brandi has said what she just said in her book and has said it before on past interviews. Eddie said nothing then. LeAnn has said in the past that Brandi has never told her anything like that in person. Ok, but you know it hurts her. It’s all over the internet. Numerous people have told you. So, why not be nice and honor that one request.? Leann has always been about “her rights” as a step-mom. Put that aside for once LeAnn. I promise that it would go a long way toward healing your public image. Want people to see you be the bigger person for once.
LeAnn has always been sue happy and all about sending D&Cs. I’m sure if Brandi was really lying about that story, then LeAnn and Eddie would be suing her over it.
The hilarity is that during his whining he’s complaining that the kids have access to all this stuff- while still bad mouthing.
a) you’re the parent, your kids are young – limit their exposure.
b) don’t complain about their mother saying things that get put online when you’re doing the exact same thing.
If these were normal every day people and not attention craving psychos, it’d be a different story. Nobody should bad mouth the other parent – but that doesn’t mean you have to paint them with a sparkly brush either. You should be frank enough to tell your kids that while you don’t agree with some things the other parent does, you’re happy that they want to be involved in their life, and that you’re glad they have a relationship. If these were normal people Leann wouldn’t have the podium that she does have to parade the kids around – and posting on a relatively limited social media profile wouldn’t be nearly the big deal it is. There wouldn’t be details of the affair leaking to the press, there wouldn’t be details of the co-parenting for the other parent to open up a magazine or whatever to find.
They’re all idiots to a degree, but Eddie is king idiot. You can support your new wife without having to comment on the mother of your children that way. He could have simply said “Leann and the boys have a stable, warm relationship, and she’s happy to be an involved stepmother. The kids love their mom very much and Leann isn’t trying to replace her – just trying to be an active part of their life”. But that wouldn’t get the kind of attention his actual comments got, so why would he bother? He’s also out of work and floundering around for attention.
I think this is mostly true but I also have seen some really crazy stuff played out in real life that is similar to this. Kids knowing that their father cheated and their mother bad mouthing him everywhere so their friends at school know about it. I’ve seen it with extended family, friends and acquaintances. People take to their social media platforms too quickly without thinking further down the line.
Absolutely, paleokifaru – it shouldn’t happen but definitely does. At least it’s a small comfort knowing that even then, it’s not aired out on a national scale. Still incredibly sad.
And while he’s at it, maybe the deadbeat could get a job. My husband would kill himself from shame before he sat on his butt doing nothing and let someone else work to support his kids. Eddie is not a man and I hope these boys will have someone in their lives at some point to set a better example of what a real man and father should be.
He has no idea what “decorum” means. In fact, I’m quite sure LeAnne would tell him it means more chalk boards and stuff for the walls.
Leann blocked me from her instagram yesterday *insert weeping sounds here* because I asked her if she cares about hurting people. Damn it, I know I shouldn’t have. I lost my privilege to watch first hand her narcissism and impudence now. But some small part of me wanted to see if the comment of a SINGLE person, a stranger, someone who has never met her and never has or will be in her life in ANY way, could bother her so much, to actually block me. She did.
It’s really interesting for me how she cares SO much about her reputation and how a single comment can make her explode with spite.
I have read comments claiming the blocking happens very quickly (suggesting she or someone is constantly monitoring). Was that your experience?
It was instant! That’s what baffled me the most, I think. Weird, weird woman… and a total, complete narcissist!
I got a “God Bless you” and a block on twitter because I dared say that she was a bit insensitive posting about her friends mom passing and her own horrible flu in the same tweet. It’s as if she was posting “hey guys my friends mom died, but I have a horrible flu, pity meeee”.
She cares startlingly too much. When you’re as common of a name as she is, you really need to learn to ignore – especially when I wasn’t even being super rude or harsh. It was a general, throw away tweet because hers had popped up on my feed and I found it half funny that she’s so into herself that she’d include her own minor ailment in the tweet.
It almost makes me sad. The longer it goes on, the more my sympathy grows. It must be EXHAUSTING to be her. Now – she put herself in that position. If she’d had the affair and gone off the grid for a bit, and not felt the need to prove their love, things would have gone completely differently.
I have a past office manager on my fb- she and one of the other people working at the store had an affair for god knows how long. They went on trips together with their spouses, did all kinds of stuff together while secretly hooking up, and then one day they sprung it on the spouses that they were leaving them for eachother. The manager had two kids, and the husband works away. She had bought a house with the coworker and moved in with the kids within a few weeks of this going public – meaning they were house shopping before they told the spouses. They bought the kids a puppy, and she’s constantly posting photos of the kids and the new guy. I find it SO offensive and I really believe that if you feel the need to prove to people how happy you are, you’re probably trying to prove it to yourself just as much.
This is what really scares me. It’s no longer just attention seeking celebrities behaving so badly. We are creating so many damaged kids who will not understand how to be respectful of other people’s feelings because all arrows are turned inward.
You are totally right, it must be EXHAUSTING to be her. I wasn’t rude either, it’s just that she had posted something on her chalk board (yawn) which was clearly meant for Brandi and her comments and it read: “It doesn’t matter who you love, how you love, when you love, all that matter is you love”. And I just couldn’t resist replying: “And does it matter who you hurt? How you hurt? When you hurt?”
And now I’ve lost her forever!!! *brushes away a tear*
Ouch to the FB story. That is brutal on so many levels.
And I remember that weird tweet of hers. How does someone construct that type of tweet and hit send?
Wow! I have a friend at work who found out her husband was cheating on her. She left him – moved into a small apartment. He’s been trying to get her back – “I’m sorry. It was a one-time thing. She didn’t mean anything. I made a horrible mistake.”
A couple of weeks ago, he called her on a Saturday begging her to come back. That same day she got on the FB page of the woman he’d cheated on her with and there they were – the two of them on some vacation that very weekend where she was sending photos to her FB. So while he was boinking the woman that was a mistake and a one-time thing on some kind of week-end get-away, he was calling his wife begging her take him back, while girlfriend is posting pics of them as a love-up couple on her FB in real time. Crazy!
P.S. They don’t communicate well evidentally.
@sway Of course it was instant because she’s constantly clutching that phone.
I’m not surprised, she literally spends all day online trying to prove how amazing her life is, it’s sad to me.
Anyone who spends as much time on SM with total strangers as Leann Rimes does says just what a lonely and insecure woman she really is.
I got blocked instantly too for saying it was bad form to take credit for other people’s quotes.
The sentence above was harsher than the one I posted on her IG acct. She was not having any part of that.
Of all people who should respect intellectual property it’s a singer/songwriter. Not that she’s written much but she knows what it means to have to pay for good songs. 😉
She reposts other people’s photos too. A photographer called her out on it and she denied it. And look at her career? It’s mostly cover songs, copying other people’s ideas. There’s not an original bone in her body. She’s all about taking things and lying.
I think one of Kiki’s jobs is to go to Brandi’s timeline and see who follows her, then preemptively block this person. I would be so embarrassed to be Kiki. What a pathetic career she has.
I got blocked when she posted about going to look at puppies on the night one of the country music awards shows. I asked why wasn’t she at the awards instead of buying puppies. Waah!
~~Claire,
I saw that too picture too. And the photographer, even her friend, was being very respectful about the whole thing but LeAnn insisted Kiki took it. From where? Inside the women’s shoes while she was standing in them too?
I also think one of Kiki’s jobs is heavy on social media. I’ve seen her do odd things. She even openly follows Brandi from her Twitter account. Another time she mocked Brandi for something and a bunch of people who live in the area were saying that she basically ruins her chance to get another celeb assistant’s job doing such stuff. And then posting it. Jezi (Brandi’s bff) was shocked that Kiki had openly insulted Brandi on Twitter.
~~Cris,
I missed that one! And especially after so many years of claiming she just loves watching from the couch in pjs. To now be out looking at puppies, on THAT night? I guess she wanted to look altruistic instead of tweeting to fans, yet again, that next year she would be at the award
And it’s trickled out over the years that her dogs love Kiki more than her. That says volumes. When a dog loves someone else more than their owner. A cat, maybe, but even that’s odd.
The blocking stories are epic. One lady said he got blocked for just following someone else. She never contacted LeAnn in anyway. She just followed her timeline. Again, there is a website dedicated to the blocking alone.
I just remembered something. I once, out of curiosity, wanted to check the profile of Darrell Brown on Twitter and was shocked to see … that I had been blocked!!!
I have never, EVER commented on anything he or LeAnn had posted. Ever. What I shared above was my first and only comment I ever left on anything of hers. And yet, this man had blocked me on Twitter. Me, a nobody to him!
Now that I think of it, I have occasionally favorited some of Brand’s tweets, with photos of her kids mostly, but that’s it!
@sway It’s because you favorited some of Brandi’s tweets. That’s why you were blocked. Crazy, isn’t it?
Classic behavior of a textbook narcissist.
Eddie said nothing. LeAnn wrote everything and had DB read it over the phone.
Nah, it sounds like Eddie, the same way he speaks and communicates in TV interviews. LeAnn’s quotes as Eddie are always overdone and obvious.
Could be right.
I totally agree. These are not Eddie’s words.
That’s the mother of your children, a*shole. The woman YOU abandoned for someone else, so have a little class and keep your mouth shut.
Ya I agree, like calling the mother of your kids a liar is any better than what he’s complaining about? I think Leann totally talks in his ear constantly about Brandi. There is probably a narrative going about how Brandi is out to get her. When in reality, Leann is totally single white femaling the sh*t out of her. I know Brandi has her own crazy antics, but I don’t think she would straight up lie about something involving her kids. Brandi doesn’t talk smack often about Leann anymore. And she has even said some nice things about her (unlike Leann). So, what she’s said sounds true. And Leann sending Eddie out to speak for her, tells me she’s as delusional as she’s made out to be!
The truth is, I have never watched that show so I only know the dynamics of these people through Celebitchy site. But I’m almost always on the side of the spouse who has been abandoned (unless they did something awful to make their partner leave – which isn’t the case here). Doesn’t mean I like Brandi. They all seem gross. But Eddie and LeAnne’s behavior is unconscionable.
Yeah, Elle, exactly. Especially since Brandi was telling the truth. Provided evidence.
I can see Brandi lying about this for publicity.
I can see Brandi asking leann not to post pictures at the holidays and Leann ignoring it.
What I can’t see is any of these three adults actually putting the best interest of the kids first, getting over themselves respecting each other and not talking to the press. There isn’t a villain or victim among the adults they are literally all the same the only ones suffering or will suffer are those kids and not a single adult cares because they get to be in People, or on a podcast. It’s pathetic.
Exactly
These. People. Are. Weird.
Ah, they’re all Self-absorbed A holes …. but I’m not putting a halo over Brandi’s head either. I think the kids are lucky to have a step parent who adores them. And like most “regular” families, I’m sure the kids will speak up when they no longer want to be on social media.
I believe Eddy and have said for a long time that Brandi just uses her kids for publicity and her ongoing feud with LeAnn. Brandi is a drunk and she is addicted to drama in much the same way she is addicted to drink. It could be much worse for those children, their stepmother could hate them and wipe them out of their father’s life, I’ve seen it happen too may times.
You know I agree. Does Brandi post pics of her kids? I don’t think it’s a crime that Leann does. I’ll probably get kicked for that but really, maybe Eddie does think what Leann posts is appropriate. It’s not like she’s intentionally embarrassing the kids (cough..madonna). She is including them because they actually ARE part of her life – whether or not she cheated with their dad yada yada yada. Brandi brought this crap up again out of the blue because she needs to perpetuate the drama in order to have people talk about her.
Eddie doesn’t think it’s appropriate, it’s why he said in court documents that his kids should not be exposed to ANY TYPE of public exposure. Why shouldn’t Eddie and Leann be held to the standard that Eddie established?
Eddie only lets Leann post photos of his kids for 2 reasons: to hurt Brandi; and he uses his kids as currency. When Eddie wants women, vacations, expensive gifts, jobs for his friends and family, and Don Julio, he lets Leann post about his kids.
Eddie didn’t write that statement, since Darrell Brown posted the article to his twitter account last night and many people witnessed him favoring the negative comments people were making about Brandi yesterday, it’s more than likely that the statement came from Darrell.
Dave’s birthday was yesterday, so Eddie was busy partying with Dave, not calling up People magazine to give negative statements about Brandi.
@why? YES!
I tend to agree, but that doesn’t make Eddie and LeAnne saints either. I still think they’re all disturbed, horrible parents, rotten people, and nobody I want to support in any way. I never jumped on the sympathy wagon the public built for Brandi. I don’t condone any spouse cheating on their significant other and I don’t condone any mistress who even plays a role in breaking up a family. That said, Brandi would be very hard to love. She is loud, crass, vulgar, tacky, promiscuous, and so damn ignorant, I can’t stand to hear her speak. I can completely see why any man would want to run away, but he shouldn’t have had kids with her and there is a way to leave a person and ways not to. He is a coward and a douche. But they’re ALL a disgusting breed of person we’ll never respect or relate to.
My god this man is delusional and pathetic, they just did a reality show that bashed Brandi the entire time, he has nerve trying to claim innocence! He’s a manipulative liar and I have no doubt he loves that LeAnn is always online trying to bait Brandi, and I’m sure he loves this attention because it’s more than he can get with acting. It’s not like this is some outlandish claim from Brandi, she asked her to stop posting pictures around holidays, and she’s said that many times before so they should know how she feels, and that makes LeAnn look like a terrible person since she refuses to respect the mother of her step children.
So Leann ends up with the rapidly aging, girl butt, unemployed, cheating, can’t put his children first, still in love with Brandi, won’t help with suitcase, makes you walk behind him, can’t even fake a smile anymore , will not have a baby with you ever PRIZE!! Congrats Leann!! Your career is over, people really do not like you. Is that what you were going for? Because that’s what you got!!
Iirc, Brandi had them Xmas morning and then the kids had to go over to E&L’s for the rest of the day.
There’s no need for LR to then take pics of the kids just to post them online. Nobody is saying she can’t take pics as her own personal memento.
But why post ONLINE the particular HOLIDAY pics in question? These are the only pics Brandi is asking not to post online, especially during the SAME time period she’s without the kids? Why can’t LR post them AFTER Brandi gets her kids back? Why does LR NEED to post these particular pics AT ALL? Will she have a panic attack if she doesn’t?
And no, per some comments yesterday, LR being the stepmother is NOT THE SAME as Brandi being the ACTUAL MOM.
Here’s the thing. If Brandi has asked that not happen then yes LeAnn should be respectful. But there are too many people rushing to say that stepparents aren’t family and that they shouldn’t be included in Christmas cards or life in general. And that’s just silly and doesn’t ever create functioning households. The truth is that the Garner/Affleck nonsense does not work in most people’s lives so two separate households that still have to function with some understanding that BOTH parents have rights to time with children with their entire families that include new members have to exist. It seems like a lot of people don’t really understand that dynamic and would happily continue the kind of feud we’re seeing from these three nutjobs. And that’s just bad parenting all around from all the adults. The kids should feel stable and loved in both houses and there shouldn’t be separate rules in one house vs the other about how people can show their affection. Do I think LeAnn should back off? Yep. But I also think Brandi and Eddie should and if they’re superior as the ACTUAL parents as you suggest then maybe they should be the ones stopping their own nonsense in the press?
Could not agree more.
The problem with that is, Eddie and Brandi can’t communicate with each other to establish any sort of acceptable boundaries that they could ALL adhere to. LeAnn has blocked all forms of communication between Eddie and Brandi. They are not allowed to speak in person or on the phone and the emails all go through LeAnn first. It all leads back to LeAnn. She needs to step aside for once and allow the children’s actual parents, to parent.
Agreed. I don’t think it’s awful for LeAnne or any other step parent to include their stepkids in normal family stuff. To exclude them would be hurtful and send a very unloving message.
And once again, posters miss the point. Brenda-paleo’s comment WAS NOT about Eddie and Leann specifically, it was about step parents IN GENERAL.
Those comments that paleo is referring to-which were ALL OVER yesterday’s thread, talking about how step parents should have no rights or say in their step kids’ lives or involve them in their own lives-are gross and offensive.
Even the OP’s comment, right now, gleefully pointing out that a step mom isn’t the “ACTUAL MOM.” SMDH at the implications of that statement. A LOT of these comments are clear projecting.
Yes, Leanne specifically may be a bad step-parent. That doesn’t mean all stepparents are bad people.
@Brenda, my problem with the comments is the general negativity and lack of understanding of how having two separate households can and should work. How is LeAnn MAKING an adult in a relationship with her not communicate effectively with his ex about their children? Eddie is allowing poor or no communication. And since so many posters have been making the argument that it’s about the ACTUAL parents then isn’t this ENTIRELY their responsibility? If LeAnn is doing things that Eddie really thinks are inappropriate involving his kids, wouldn’t he tell her to back off? And if he doesn’t then isn’t that on him? It seems to me he had a dysfunctional relationship with Brandi before and that same dysfunction continued into their divorced relationship. And now perhaps he has one with LeAnn too. So isn’t that on Eddie? He is either seeking out or encouraging dysfunction.
I thought yesterday’s thread was brutal towards step-parents. I’m child-free and a product of a 50-year marriage so I can’t relate in a personal sense, but from an outsider’s perspective it seemed like a lot of commenters just wanted to feel special/*better than* because they gave birth to a child, completely disregarding the challenges that come with being a parent to a child that is not your own. Personally, I think any parent who genuinely loves and cares for a step-child deserves to have some say in how they are raised, even if they don’t get the final word. I also think if everyone is comfortable with it, they have every right to be called “mom” or “dad”.
I accept what others pointed out to me—that maybe I just don’t get it because I don’t have kids, but the cruelty towards step-parents on that thread seemed very OTT to me.
I agree Kitten. I had seen it time and again on the threads for this triangle and then on the Rutherford thread (which is generally pretty civil and supportive of a father’s right to their kids too) I started seeing comments that gleefully wanted Daniel to remarry so Rutherford would have a melt down. So I finally snapped and started commenting on this stuff. The purpose of a stepparent is not for a feud or to serve as fuel in an already angry custody situation. They are people too, and many of them are good people. I also think it’s really out of line to wish pain and anger on the parents who of course will struggle with a remarriage that involves kids even in the best of scenarios. It’s just really difficult all around and I would think the hope is always that the adults manage to find a way to keep the kids loved and tamp down on the anger and hurt. It hasn’t been all that long that we’re expected to deal with divorce and coparenting, and particularly this 50/50 split. It used to be people remarried after a death so there weren’t people living with this weird arrangement of wondering if someone was replacing them or trying to build a family with kids in your house being parented by someone outside of the house.
As someone who’s going through the exact same thing, husband cheated with a married woman, are now together flaunting how fabulous rich and wonderful they are, and all over social media claiming my kids as their family, i feel for brandi. The pain of seeing the affair partner being a big part of the kid’s life is unbearable and indescribable. The LEAST that a cheater who ruins their family can do is be sensitive of the feeling of the mother, it SUCKS seeing your kids on holiday and making memories you can’t be part of. Brandi may be many bad things, but she IS the mother of those kids and deserves all the respect for that, as inconvenient as it may be to eddie/leann
I feel for you and I completely see where you’re coming from. But, you’re speaking from the hurt you’re feeling at seeing your kids having a good time with someone/two someones you have very strong hate for right now. It’s painful that they don’t take your feelings into consideration, but if they were considerate people, they wouldn’t have gotten together in the first place, right? They’re never going to worry about your feelings, so you can’t expect that from them or you’re going to be disappointed and hurt for years and years to come. It’s hard to come to terms with, but that woman is their new step-mother and you have to learn to work with it somehow. If she is good to your kids, focus on that and how lucky you/they are to have that rather than a stepparent who resents them and makes their father’s home a hostile environment for them. I’ve seen that many times. That is much worse than having to see them happy with somebody else. Best of luck to you and hang in there. It will get better with time.
There are tweets going around showing Brandi tweeting Leann to cool it on the pics from like 4/5 yrs ago.. I think Eddie is a liar here. No surprise.
I saw a snippet of an interview LeAnn did around Christmas and she was talking about how difficult it can be in a blended family and how she tries to be respectful but then said she’s not responsible for someone else’s feelings and should be able to do what she wants as well, so I totally believe everything Brandi said. I’m curious to see if LeAnn will not post as many pictures next Christmas since this is such a big deal now, she can’t claim Brandi lied or she didn’t know since they made a statement, and every time she post pictures of those boys everyone will see how she doesn’t care to be respectful of their mother. She won’t be able to not post pictures, she needs that reassurance from the Internet or it didn’t happen, it’s not normal.
I think it’s been pretty well established that LeAnn is a pathological liar. So I honestly don’t think she’ll even bat an eye about doing it again and once again denying it was a problem. In her mind it isn’t a problem because she doesn’t think it is.
I think after seven years, they would have put an end to their beefing.
I think that it’s time to get the legal system involved. Put an end to the social media feud, allegations, accusations. Put an gag order on all three of them.
The boys are on the internet, they can read articles about their parents constantly bickering.
Really don’t understand why Brandi didn’t go to court years ago to put the same media restrictions on them, they put on her. What was B waiting for?
There is no way those quotes came from Eddie. He isn’t that eloquent or articulate. If he did, it was a statement that was prepared for him. I’d be surprised if he even knew the half of what LeAnn puts out there on social media because I don’t think he’s around that much. I do believe she probably pitched a fit because she was really catching some heat on her Instagram account yesterday. I feel bad for LeAnn, not because I think she doesn’t deserve the backlash she’s getting, but because she just seems like a sad, insecure, empty person with a serious social media addiction. When does she find time to truly enjoy the life she tries so hard to convince us all she has?
Exactly.
If it was written on contact paper in crayon I would believe it.
I feel like Brandi, Leanne, and Eddie are literally the most difficult game of f*ck, marry, kill ever….
You win. Amazing and frightening.
I’d rather play Russian roulette. My chances are better.
Awww, did you get a new toy for this, Eddie? Good boy! *pats on head*
If Eddie doesn’t want his kids to get online and see negativity about a parent, then:
Why did he and Leann write and produce a tv show bashing their mother?
Why does he not care that Leann sits on Twitter and faves negative tweets about their mother?
Why does it not bother him that on the Instagram account followed by his son, Leann deletes all the negative comments she gets but leaves up all the ones her fans post about Brandi?
Why does he not care that in all her interviews supposedly about her music, she just talks about Brandi and the kids?
The list could go on and on about all the negativity perpetuated by his precious little cuckoo narcissistic delusional wife.
Sorry Ed. Just like your habitually lying wife, you ain’t got no credibility.
You also might want to occasionally climb off the waitress and take a peek at Leann’s social media sometime.
+100,000
So much yes
God help me–I’m on his side here.
Coyote Ugly was on TV the other day. Ultimat guilty pleasure of mine. Can’t Fight the Moonlight is an anthem.
That’s all I have to say.
Wow, some of the hatred for Leann and Eddie is unreal. Ive watched Brandi a little bit on RHOBH and she’s ust desperate for attention and to cling onto her only claim to fame which is Leann and Eddie and the pity party she keeps having about him leaving her for her. So what! It happens to women all over and they get on with their lives!
People just hate that Eddie and Leann are still together and going strong. They didn’t expect it to last and it has. The kids love Leann and this is has even been admitted by Brandi. She should be grateful that they have a loving stepmom. I know it must have been hard at first but it’s been years. Most ppl have moved on and adjusted to the way things are after 7 years, but if Brandi does that then she is of no interest to anybody except die hard Housewives fans She’s so lame.
And seriously, she of all people are saying she wants privacy for her boys when she constantly fanning the fire between their parents????
Oh and Brandi knew her marriage to Eddie was never going to last. The engaged in threesomes with him and also said she used to make sure to have sex with him before he went out on his own to ’empty the tank’ …………… if Eddie had of dumped her for some random person she would have moved on, she just hates that it’s leann who is famous and richer
FYI im no fan of any of them, Leann’s voice drives me to distraction, just sick of seeing the mindless hate towards Eddie and Leann when they have actually proven to be the real deal and take care of the kids well. I feel like all the dumped and cheated on women in the world just attack her as a way of expressing their personal anger. Move on people!
hahaha – I love these attempts. Good idea throwing one negative about LeAnn to make it more believable.
I see these sorts of comments all the time in these threads and the Rutherford ones and I don’t get it. Do you actually think people are paid for this stuff? Can’t someone just disagree? It’s even stranger than the mud slinging in the Brangelina and Aniston threads.
Yes, yes I do with regards to LR. I am serious. Read Lou’s comment again, its ridiculous and I have never seen him/her comment before.
Nice. I was thinking the same…
@paleokifaru I don’t get it either, but in this case I think it is possible. LeAnn has some very odd fans who are heavily invested in defending her. I’ve never seen anything like it.
That is so weird to me. I guess maybe the smaller the fan base the more likely you are to be the best fan ever and get special attention from your idol?
I only believe it’s possible in this case because of what happened with that school teacher LeAnn called on the phone. She had taken several of her fans to lunch and that’s when she made the call. I don’t remember all of it, I just remember thinking that I’ve never heard of any other celebrity targeting some random fan for making negative comments about them. Most celebrities don’t have the time to notice or just don’t care.
Not a fan of ANY ONE OF THEM, but I have heard Brandi state very clearly that she does appreciate that LeAnne loves the boys and that she wants them to stay together b/c if they broke up, what would that do to the boys? Yes, she has said all of this. Is Brandi still an attention-seeking opportunist – absolutely! Is she still a crass beligerant drunk – absolutely! I just felt the need to point out that she has in fact said these things in LeAnne’s favor. I have yet to hear LeAnne say one positive thing about Brandi – ever! about anything! I don’t expect it as it’s not in LeAnne’s repertoire to promote anybody but herself, but come on! LeAnne hasn’t made any attempts to lay low and just let things work out themselves. They both fuel the fire because it’s all they both have to stay in the public’s eye and attempt some relevancy.
P.S. I don’t always think a positive post about an obviously hideous person is a PR paid commentor, but I am finding it curious that the one fan who was consistently on here defending SheMan hasn’t been seen or heard from in any of the recent Cibriani Triangle blogs – I can’t remember her avatar – “#1 Fan Since Day 1” or something like that. So, yeah, I am suspect that any positive post about LeAnne is that person under a new name.
@Nick – oh really? You’ve never seen me comment before??? Well go ask the mods to check my history then!! You need to take a step back and gain perspective if you actually think any comment defending Leann or Eddie in any way is ‘paid’
Nobody gives that much of a sh#t!
@cici LeAnn has some very odd haters who are heavily invested in slamming her. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Who is getting paid? There are that many that would get paid for at this point third rate tabloid gossip celebrities with a seven year old affair turned into marriage. I think we would be at zero unemployment if that many people could get paid for just posting on celebitchy. The world and certainly gossip blogs are full of conspiracy theories. Now if Lou is paid to be positive we need to redefine positive he said her voice drives him to distraction. I think Leann needs to ask for her money back.
My personal opinion is some of you for who knows why are way too invested in these people who you don’t really know. I know celebrities make money with high social profiles even when they are negative, but at what cost to themselves and society. People get on others instagram just to say a comment and see if they will get blocked. This including the actions of all three involved seem like middle school.
LOL.
The only person who thinks people are jealous or angry that LeAnn and Eddie are still together is LeAnn, that’s why she’s constantly posting pictures and ridiculous captions, she thinks she’s really sticking it to those haters and proving them wrong, lol. Nobody wants Eddie Cibrian, he’s good looking but that’s literally the only good quality about him, he doesn’t even provide for his own children and lives off his wife’s fading fame from decades ago, yet she flaunts him around like he’s some prize and they have the most amazing love story ever told, no. I bet if LeAnn deleted all social media accounts and didn’t have the “fun” of showing people her life she would realize what a douche he truly is.
From some of the more recent photos I’ve seen of Eddie, he doesn’t even have his looks anymore. He’s by no means unattractive, but he isn’t aging well and looks like he doesn’t take very good care of himself. The whole “we have an amazing love story” is so silly to me, like something a love-struck teenage girl would write in her diary.
Eddie is so stupid. There is nothing sexy about a man bashing the mother of his kids. There are too many divorced women and mothers out there, who are the age group he needs to market to. To say this kind of stuff.
Not that I actually believe Eddie wants to work. But with statements like these, he’s going to shoot himself in the foot one too many times, and not have the opportunity to work.
Because the last time he pulled out these, my ex-wife is a liar comments, was when he was suing her to claw back child support and alimony payments. He claimed that he wasn’t and that she was lying.
But the documents proved he was trying to steal from his kids. And he rightfully lost.
He also tried floating, she’s a liar comments, when Brandi released her book. Which we all know was heavily vetted by lawyers.
Never mind his infamous, I’m not having an affair lies. Or the epic one he always hauls out, and did this time too. That LeAnn does nothing to Brandi. And does nothing to Brandi on social media. Brandi is the meanie, not LeAnn. Paraphrased, of course.
And the standard, Brandi has to mention my wife to get press. Or we didn’t bash Brandi on our reality show.
Eddie is a lying, liar, who lies…
And there isn’t a better place for that deadbeat dad to be, than with LeAnn. That crazy broad is sucking the life right out of him. It couldn’t happen to a better sleaze ball.
They’re sucking the life out of each other. It’s amazing to me how bad they both look. They’ve aged so much in 6 years.
That statement sounds like it came straight from Darrell Brown, Leann’s manager, father figure, and walking bank account. It’s not the first time that Leann had Darrell pretend to be Eddie. Remember the David Gray concert when Leann was called out by a DJ because she was talking loudly during the concert? Leann said she was talking to her husband, but the DJ said that Eddie wasn’t even there, but Darrell Brown was.
Did you notice how at 7:06 pm yesterday, Darrell posted the article to HIS twitter account, while Leann tweeted about their family record player? People’s source is Darrell, not Eddie.
It’s not the first time that Darrell has done this either. When Brandi was calling Leann out for stalking Eddie, Darrell went to People magazine and gave negative interviews about Brandi.
Darrell Brown’s (aka Eddie’s) statement is full of double standards, hypocrisy, and lies.
Brandi was with the kids on Christmas Day? If the kids were with Brandi on Christmas Day, then can “Eddie” please explain why Leann gave interview after interviewing saying that Jake and Mason will be at their house at 12 pm on Christmas Day? At 11 am on Christmas Day, Brandi tweeted that her kids were with their dad. Why would Eddie say that his kids spent Christmas Day with their mother, when according to Leann’s own interviews that wasn’t true at all? Either Eddie didn’t write that statement or Eddie is a liar. Did Eddie and his kids not spend Christmas Day with Leann because why else would Darrell(Eddie) think that the kids were with their mother on Christmas Day?
Brandi NEVER asked Leann to stop posting photos of the kids during holidays? Is Eddie rewriting history or like we all suspected Eddie didn’t give this statement to People, Darrell Brown did.
Eddie points out that he doesn’t ask Brandi not to post pictures. This reminds of the comment that Kiki posted on her instagram account claiming that she follows Brandi so that she can see pictures of the kiddos when they weren’t with them. Some people even suspected that it was Leann who posted that comment. So once again, Eddie didn’t write this statement. It came from Leann and Darrell.
What personal attacks has Brandi done to Leann? None. It’s amazing how much “Eddie” is making Leann out to be the victim, totally ignoring all of the personal attacks she has been launching against Brandi for months. From copying her tweets to tweeting to Brandi’s friends. One day out of the blue, Leann started tweeting Howard Stern’s wife.
Brandi has to use Leann for headlines? What headlines? Leann hasn’t been in the news, even though she tried very hard to get noticed, since the promotion for her Christmas album ended. During that time Leann used Brandi, Jake, and Mason to promote her Christmas album. “Eddie” had no problems 2 months ago when Leann used Brandi’s name to make headlines.
Brandi won’t leave them alone? Didn’t Leann and Eddie dedicate an 8 episode show to slamming Brandi, but he claims that it’s Brandi who won’t leave them alone?
Then there is equating posting photos of the kids on twitter and instagram as love. Eddie didn’t write this statement, Leann and Darrell Brown did.
“Eddie” says that his kids have lived in a household longer with Leann and him than they have with Brandi and Eddie? The oldest boy is 12 and according to Eddie’s court documents, his oldest son was 6 years old when they split. Now subtract a year from the time that Eddie was living in a separate apartment while he was dating Leann and “Eddie’s” math doesn’t add up.
Someone has been very busy in this comment section!
Standing O!
*Slow clapping for Why*
Why: I love reading your posts. They are always very well thought out and always have good points.
Eddie calling someone else a liar? Irony, party of one, your table is now available.
I also forgot to mention. Dave’s birthday was yesterday(Lizzy posted a comment and photo about it on her instagram account yesterday) so do we really believe that Eddie was giving interviews about Brandi Wednesday night? No. Eddie was somewhere partying with Dave.
People magazine posted the article about Brandi at 9 pm EST and Darrell Brown posted the article to his twitter account at 7:06 pm.
Obviously, LeAnn pushed Eddie into saying this crap but come onnnnnnnnn. Eddie Cibrian as the voice for truth and honesty??????????? He can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kardashians when they receive their award for Exceptionally Talented in the category of Public Shyness.
I feel really bad 4 brandi. I think whatsherface is vile with the way she is going on about the whole issue, but I think deep dwn in her own twisted way she loves the kids. All three needs to grow up and do what’s best for the kids. If she was ignoring the kids everyone will be saying she is not loving or is acting like they dont exists. They are all wrong with the way they are handling this issue. They can make it work but all the adults are thirsty 4 the spot light.
Brandi posted 3 videos of her sons on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Leann posted a video on Christmas Day that Jake is in because he did a photobomb.
They’re Brandi’s kids. LeAnn’s their Father’s wife. They aren’t her kids biologically or legally. They may live in the home she bought and she may pay all of the bills due to Eddie’s lack of career and utter laziness, but she has zero custody rights. If Eddie were posting the videos, it would be another story, as he’s their Father, but he’s not on social media, according to LeAnn. LeAnn tweeted for him and created an IG account before. She should just start them up again. Then she could post as much as she wants and people couldn’t complain. Plus “Eddie’s” Instagram was purer gold than her latest dance video.
This is not about custody rights, it’s not that deep, rather this is about posting pictures on social media which both Brandi and Leann do on holidays and non-holidays. To me Eddie can join/re-join social media and post pictures and/or allow and encourage his wife to do it, for now it’s the latter.
P.S.
If Leann posting pictures is something that is legally actionable then Brandi needs to address it that way rather than using it as part of her attention seeking repertoire.
@aaa And LeAnn doesn’t use the boys for HER attention seeking repertoire? Other than another woman’s children and the quotes she plagarizes, she hasn’t much else to post about. Uncoordinated attempts at dancing aside.
All three adults use the boys to enhance their image as do other celebrities, but I find it disturbing and distasteful that not too long ago lying, liar who lies Brandi posted a video of Jake saying (paraphrased) “my mom does not lie… my mom does not lie!“
Since Eddie stated in court documents that his kids should not be exposed to any type of public exposure, Leann had no right posting that video.
By posting that video, Leann demonstrated just how evil she truly is. Leann posted the video at 7 am, but at 7 am, the boys were with Brandi. They didn’t leave Brandi until 11 am. So how did Leann get a video of Jake before Jake was even at her house? Leann pre-recorded that video and then posted the video with the intention of making people think that the kids spent Christmas morning with her instead of with their mother. Why would Leann do that?
On Christmas Eve, Leann posted a collage of photos that contained one photo of Brandi’s sons. She didn’t post any photos of the kids on Christmas, but given that “Eddie”(Darrell) said that the boys spent Christmas Day with their mother, you have to wonder if Eddie and the boys were even with Leann on Christmas Day.
During Thanksgiving week, Leann posted about 10 photos of Brandi’s kids.
Wasn’t Brandi the one who called her kids some pretty bad names in public? She’s a sleaze.
Brandi is no saint and let’s not forget she played a character on ROBH along with the other ladies but if she was a liar they would have sued her with the first book. A person can only be poked for so long and then they react.
Here’s my issue. If LeAnn was so love and light and truly loved those kids, why does she leave every negative comment up regarding Brandi for her SS Mason but deletes everything negative regarding her. If you don’t believe me, pay attention on her Instagram. Yesterday she disappeared for 4 hours (probably typing up that People’s response) and they mauled her arse. Later that night, every negative comment was deleted regarding her but anything about Brandi stayed.
Now Eddie is scum. Let’s not forget this is a man who slept with LeAnn, had a Tuesday night girlfriend, Schena ,and a pregnant wife. I don’t believe for a second he wrote that People response. I’ll take his truth with a grain of salt.
Oh please. If it wasn’t for the constant 3-way drama between them, NONE of them would ever get any press. It’s like they keep the fights going just for attention…all THREE of them.
“But it saddens me that they can get on the Internet and get influenced by this negativity that only comes from one side.”
Like LeAnn’s Twitter account?
Why do Leann and “Eddie” tell so many lies when there is so much information out there to contradict them?
“Eddie”(Darrell) said that Brandi never asked Leann to stop posting photos of her kids, but today, people found tweets from Brandi doing just that. I also think that Leann posting photos of the boys came up during their family therapy session, the one where Leann wore high heels and eyelashes.
“Eddie”(Darrell) said that Brandi never talked to Leann, but someone found a tweet that Leann posted in 2011 where Leann states that she communicated with Brandi.
I wish these blogs and tabloids would be brave enough to call Leann and Eddie out on their lies and double standards.
How nice. She got her children all leading up to Christmas, Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with her children, the most magical time of Christmas to be with your children. She made it sound like she didn’t get Christmas with her children and cried into her wine. Then go get in your car and go spend time with your parents and siblings for a wonderful Christmas dinner before you won’t have your parents on this earth anymore instead of talking about downing two bottles of wine. I wish I had my parents on this earth still. My sister faces the same split, but is thankful for the time with her child and then goes and shares the rest of Christmas afternoon driving to another town and spending Christmas day with our parents, and now that they are gone, our siblings for a bid dinner. If Brandi wants to stay home and down bottles of wine, that’s her choice.
It’s not ideal for Brandi, but I would much rather have my child on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when all the excitement and joy happens.
As far as the posting of photos by LeAnn, I get that she has always overdone it, but it’s six years. Stop looking just to torture yourself. Out of sight out of mind as far as LeAnn goes for that. And by this time, no, I would not be looking but instead avoiding it at all costs for my mental positivity.
There are many hurtful things in life, and one of the best ways to rise above it is to stay busy and help others.
I agree about spending time with parents while they are here. Things can change drastically from one holiday season to the next (I had two parents a year ago, and none now). Rather than wallow in self-pity, I tried to stay busy and reach out to lonely elderly folks during the holidays. It made things much more bearable.
Life is about choices, every day. She may not be able to control what someone else does, but she can choose how she responds.
Brandi didn’t spend Thanksgiving with her kids though, Leann and Eddie decided to take them to Montana where they spent a week away from their mother. During that entire week, Leann posted photos of Brandi’s kids nonstop. Knowing that the kids hadn’t seen their mother for a week, Leann didn’t have to post any photos of those kids.
The one photo Leann didn’t post was of Eddie up at 3 am gambling and drinking on Thanksgiving morning.
Leann couldn’t even let Brandi have Christmas morning with her kids because bright and early Christmas morning, Leann was up posting a video of Jake, but Jake wasn’t even there because at 7 am he was with his mother. She wanted everyone to think that Jake and Mason were with her.
How can Brandi stop looking when it’s plastered all over the internet and blogs because Leann pays blogs to write articles about “her family” photos?
From the horse’s mouth, Nov 2013 appearance on J Kimmel’s show:
Mr. Ed: “I think there’s just some people who are kind of born to create drama and then capitalize on it.”
JK: “And you married both of them.”
Eddie’s a real genius. Then there are people born to leach off of others. Have another swing of your tequila.
If kids were not involved, this would be much more enjoyable. Half the time he looks like walking misery.
If Eddie is concerned about his kids getting on the internet and seeing all the “negative” things that Brandi has said about him, then how does he feel about all those photos that his kids will see of him hanging out with Leann’s twitter buddies who have harassed Brandi? During his birthday week in NYC, Eddie cut his custody week short so that he could fly out to NYC-this was also the week that Eddie’s son broke his arm while Eddie(Brandi is being way too nice because I think that it was Eddie’s parents who were watching the kids when Brandi’s son was hurt), Eddie wasn’t concerned about his kids seeing negative things when he posed with the man who was constantly creating all those photoshopped horrible photos calling Brandi horrible names.
When People magazine ran “Eddie’s”(Darrells) statements, I wish that they would have held Eddie to his words. It would have been nice had they posted the photo of Eddie posing with Leann’s fans who harass Brandi just show that even Eddie can’t take what comes out of his mouth seriously.
I don’t believe Eddie or Leann. I think they are both liars. How dare he publicly call his ex-wife a consistent liar who does it for publicity. Why would you do such a thing on a public forum where his children might see it or his children’s playmates or classmates. As for his ex-wife, she has asked Leann to stop posting these so called family pictures of her and the children. She is their stepmom, not their biological mother. They are Eddie’s children not hers. Stop acting like a Madonna. Until she births a child from her vajaja, Don’t act like she is Earth Mother. By the way, from what I read Eddie and Leann are borrowing money from friends to live on. How did this D-class actor get the money to pay for the fancy ring for Leann for Christmas. Now that Eddie has blown threw Leann’s money I wonder who his next target will be.
she just proved him a liar once again by posting the email she sent him before the holidays and it says pretty much exactly what she said she said. I hope she sends it on to People or whoever just to prove what a liar he is and how vindictive and vile LR is.
They are ALL bad for the kids. Toxic children themselves.
So glad “Ed” responded so everyone could be reminded of what a self serving douche he is. First off, it’s not like Brandi did some huge interview going on and on. She did a podcast that all the gossip sites latched on to and made a big deal of. Then “Ed” made a bigger deal by responding in people mag. The part about Brandi using Leann’s name to get publicity is hilarious. Leann is so desperate for attention she can’t function normally. Leann’s biological clock is ticking and she is trying to cure it with claiming her stepchildren. She can love them without talking about it in every other hashtag and picture. She is repulsive and so is worthless Ed.
YES, ^^^^^^ I don’t have a twitter account. I do read though and have watched these two scumbags (ED and LEANN) for the last couple years, and read everything I can find on both of them. Call it my soap opera or my guilty pleasure, whatever. It’s like watching a train wreck, I cannot, not look. They are pathetic and they deserve each other. They are the liars and everyone knows it. Their sitcom bashed Brandi on every episode, Leann stirs this crap up just to stay relevant, because otherwise she is not! We don’t have to post on twitter to express our disgust for them. There are plenty of of other sites like this one where we can express ourselves. There are way more people that find them horrible human beings than just those on twitter. They have brought all the hate on themselves for crap just like this BS that someone sent to people magazine. I would bet Ed sat back and told Leann and Darrell to write it up and he would call it in. He is such, in my opinion.
The most telling part is “they don’t even talk.” My family is blended and all ex’s and step parents communicate freely. Not talking is a huge sign that all is not well. How can parent and step parent not talk for six years? I dated someone with a son for 8 months, and I spoke to the kid’s mom a handful of times to make sure she was comfortable with the time I spent with her son, and to ensure her kid was comfortable with me.
And Eddie is the worst, because it is his DUTY to facilitate communication.
Exactly mialouise! I understand some bumps in the road at first – especially in a situation like this – but after this long it’s just mind boggling.
Brandi has tried to communicate/parenting, they make it difficult, at one point they blocked her phone number, she’s had to go thru email or Kiki the nanny. The sad part is when Brandi say’s a word about this, people go off on her, saying horrible things about her to her, the stuff that kills me, Brandi move on, they are happy and married, get over yourself, not once are you people questioning Eddie & Leann about the no contact.
Actually the last line of her comment explicitly calls Eddie out.
Eddie is the really liar here. He has lied repeatedly to cover up his wife’s crimes of stalking and bullying his ex. Brandi has been very clear about not wanting Leann to post anything about her kids on social media. Leann has done it over and over again, including constantly posting photos of the kids’ soccer games, date and times and the kids’ school address and birthday party locations, dates and times, inviting paparazzi and any other crazy out there into her stepsons’ lives. Leann constantly posts inappropriate photos of herself half naked shoving her body into the boys’ faces, posts information about their private thoughts on love and sex and even created and tweeted photos of the Pedo-cake she made for Eddie’s birthday, of the two of them naked in bed together with the boys cowering underneath the bed. Not to mention the five years of Leann and her fans wishing death on her stepsons’ mother online and at her concerts.
Leann is sick and Eddie is her scumbag enabler who is willing to thow his kids under the bus in order to keep his psycho sugar mama happy.
Brandi has asked a gazillion times, but through social media. Maybe she should take her life offline and have a human interactive conversation with her ex and LeAnne about the topic. Ugh…reality celebs are so used to scripted story lines and scripted social media they forget real life can actually happen.
She did thru private email., Eddie rebuffed her and got snotty with her.
I’m starting to believe there’s a secret deal between the three of them to keep themselves in the headlines by extending their feud.
That’s really funny and a bit of a stretch.
I can think of a half dozen legitimate reasons LAR might should lay off posting pics of those boys on social media. Not,one of them is because BG asked her to quit because it hurt her feelings.
I long ago gave up any warm feelings for any of those 3 fools.
This whole debacle isn’t about a loving step-parent posting photos of their spouses children. It’s history is completely different. The relationship came out of an affair. The husband moved on to a relationship with a wealthy woman, who he is dependent on for the luxury lifestyle he thinks he’s entitled to, even though he left the Mother of his children in a horrible financial situation. His children probably have no idea that the new woman is who pays every bill and that their Father pays the absolute minimum in child support to theit Mother. He pays the minimum support due having zero income, yet supposedly buys his new wife three massve rings in five years. The new wife has tried to physically morph into the ex. Getting a boob job from the same Dr., going to her dentist and trying to get the same teeth, changing to the ex-wfe’s dermatologist, etc. She even drove an hour to go to the ex-wife’s Pilates studio of 20 years. Her music producer, his partner, her stylist and other employees have viviously attacked the ex as well. The new couple basically dedicated a reality show and it’s promotion to insulting and demeaning the ex. The constant posting of the photos is just a tiny, but insensitive part of what’s gone on. To say that LeAnn’s never done anything bad to Brandi is delusional. Eddie is an utter puece of garbage. He’s obviously a sociopath to be so horrible to the woman who nursed his Mother through cancer and gave him two beautiful children, whatever her faults may be. He obviously values money more than anything else and gets off on the conflctl
Honest question – do you really think the kids don’t know the financial details? Because that’s also been publicized. It’s how people here have the information. And I think that’s the real issue. All three adults are oversharing, being inappropriate and slamming people the children love and spend time with. I’d be willing to bet the kids have a lot of this information from their own research or friends or other parents. And if it’s supposed to all be up to the real parents then why haven’t they gone to court to block all media exposure or just stopped themselves?
No, the kids probably don’t know yet that their Dad doesn’t work and lives off of their step-mother, or that he pays their Mother next to nothing. They go out and get papped and probably think that their Dad is super famous and rich. Mason is getting older and at some point will figure out that his Dad is basically a kept man. Like you said, others will eventually fill them in. You are definitely right that they all (except for Eddie unless he’s lying on command) overshare in a major way. That’s what I hate about social media. The things that people I know have shared on Facebook and Twitter are so inappropriate. Eddie’s a narcissistic douchebag, who’s more interested in keeping his sugar momma happy, than co-parenting peacefully. I seriously believe that Eddie’s a puppetmaster in all of this. He’s not smart, but he’s manipulative. He’s cruel to Brandi and lets LeAnn take the heat for all of it, when he’s obviously encouraging her behaviour. He calls Brandi a liar, when the proof is there that she’s not lying about this at all . He’s an absolute nightmare. Cruel to his children’s Mother and an absolute leech off of his current wife. When his boys see their Father’s true colours, it’s going to be a real crap fest. He’ll come out looking the worst in this whole mess. Going to court is expensive and LeAnn’s money is not what is was, plus Brandi’s already being sued. They all choose to play this out in public.
Well said. and he’s only making himself look like hell by saying such a thing.
There will be no more ‘happy family’ holiday snaps from LR which get posted on the actual holiday, right? Clearly, she had NOT THE FOGGIEST IDEA that the children’s mother was at home alone weeping over her photos, but now that she knows, she’s going to stop, right?
*waits for next year*
…wait for Mother’s Day coming in 4 months.
I have never watched Brandi’s show and I only know of her because of this whole affair thing.
Seems to me that Brandi took the situation she was thrown into and decided to “Brand” herself. I would guess she is making more money at this point than leann. A couple books right ? Some wine, TV shows. Leann does a show a month maybe. Really I’m not sure we would even know who Brandi was if it wasn’t for Leann. Anyhoodle seems she made lemonade out of lemons and now she gets hate for it! Seems she drinks too much….. WHO DOESN’T or who doesn’t know someone that does, but maybe all that is BS because she is on a fake reality show and they are fighting, throwing wine, ect… for ratings. She is not stupid by any means. I think if her drinking was affecting how she takes care of the boys Leakann and Ediot would call her out. So If she wants to have fun for the seven days in a row she does not have her boys, go ahead. I think she is using her 15 minutes to make some coin, so what I would too
Just when I thought I couldn’t despise Leann and Eddie any more—here comes something that makes me so sick to my stomach.
Look as a mum of two boys who has a crazy ex I’m defo Team Brandi and always will be. What you peeps don’t understand is that years of dealing with this sorta crazy leaves you wrung out, doubting your own sanity and a little nuts yourself. Why is this so hard to understand?
LR is a textbook narcissist and a complete nutjob. All that SWF stuff is seriously bonkers not to mention the way she has commandeered those boys’ lives. She CONSTANTLY tries to provoke BG. She lives for the thrill of getting a reaction. I’m surprised BG hasn’t snapped and done something really terrible, quite frankly.
This thread has brought out a lot of Leann defenders who I have never seen before. Hi Leann! We know you’re here! Please get some psychiatric help immediately!
Snowpea I don’t think most people think it’s easy. I’m in the reverse of your situation in that I have had to deal with an insane ex wife and it’s absolutely exhausting. But I’m still a responsible adult who works hard to not sink to her level and it has slowly paid off. And I think that’s actually what most posters are saying, “Where is the responsible adult?” Because it looks like none of them are and it’s constant mudslinging. Personally I couldn’t keep that up for seven years. I’m guessing you couldn’t either from your description of your situation. The drama would wipe you out more than just trying to deal with the cards you’ve been given.
Until someone has dealt with a textbook narcissist, who lacks any empathy, morality or compassion and who can be utterly brutal in their disregard of human emotions, they will never understand the full extent of LeAnn’s mental infirmity. “Nutjobbiness”, for lack of a better word. She is fruitloops and it will be a cold day in hell before LeAnn can be convinced there is anything wrong with her. She will die with the delusion that she is, after all, the only one that matters.
I agree, in my opinion she is a “textbook narcissist” no doubt about it. Lots of utube videos out there about narcissist and and I’ve watched many of them and read a lot about them because I was raised by one, and now late in life I am understanding why I had and still have a lot of issues I’m still working through. Narcissist are abusers, some covert, some not. Watch a couple videos or google “Narcissist” and you will see how this term explains so much and you will see why some of us feel she is truly a narcissist. A very dangerous, emotionally damaging narcissist who gaslights the boys step mother all the time… Look it up. It will paint a not so pretty picture of Rimes.
Has anyone posted the exclusive email that Brandi sent to RMHW proving that she DID ask them to stop, in a very heartfelt and kind email, in NOVEMBER?
I would bet Leann never even let Eddie read that beautiful mail. Nope. She hit delete and he never even knew, probably. She is such a complete loser.
Anyway, Brandi provided proof, she was 100% telling the truth. Sorry Ediot.
We have seen it, Mollie. It is heartbreaking, in my opinion, and highlights LeAnn’s and Eddie’s spiteful and vindictive nature.
Isn’t Eddie a known liar and jerk? Why wouldn’t it just be that he saw the email and ignored it? I think he really should be getting more of the blame for all the poor communication and media shenanigans.
It’s crazy. Here you’ve got an email with a mom asking for some consideration, compromise, and better coparenting to show the kids a united front. They tell her to f*ck off basically through their media responses and apparently to her face, yet at the same time, are trying to promote their images as the the most loving couple/parents ever, with Leann begging for best stepmom validation 24/7. Everything she wants people to believe about her is a huge lie. Just trying to think about the mental health issues of a person like that, where they can be that delusional, weirds me out.
+1,000
I’ll second that +1,000
Just waiting for the other party to claim “he/we never saw it”.
I’m sure Brandi will end up posting his response if they try that. LeAnn is deleting any comment that even slightly questions the situation and leaving up comments that suggest Brandi forged the email. Darrell Brown is favouriting tweets calling Brandi a bad Mother and a POS. Yes, that’s keeping it positive for the boys Eddie.
For those who you defending Eddie and LeAnn…Brandi released the email she sent to Eddie begging him to be mindful of her feelings. That email was heartbreaking to anyone as a Mother. I hate him even more now because he’s the reason this sh** is happening. You don’t release a statement calling someone as LIAR when you know they may have proof. Again, Brandi may have her flaws (who doesn’t and if you say you don’t you’re lying to yourself) but she’s proven many times she’s not a liar.
For those defending Eddie, a DOG, STD carrier, Gold digging scum who constantly proves that looks and a flash of dimples will have any woman with an ounce of common sense, defending his sorry a**.
Brandi shared with the public the email in which she ASKS them nicely precisely that, not to share so many pictures with the kids on the holidays.
Celebitchy, I think this deserves its own post 🙂
Reading Brandi’s email to Eddie really opened my eyes to just how horrible he is. Beyond the fact it’s heartbreaking, it exposes the fact that it doesn’t matter how nice Brandi plays and tries for peace. It doesn’t matter if she publicly compliments him as a Dad and says the boys like LeAnn. He’s going to continue to be cruel, difficult, inconsiderate and vindivtive, regardless. He’ll keep calling her liar, when she’s not lying. He won’t reign in his new wife, because her obnoxious behaviour serves a huge purpose for Eddie. It’s just another way to hurt her. If I were LeAnn, I’d be concerned with the amount of animosity Eddie holds for Brandi. If he was over her, he’d never act this way. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference and Eddie is about as far from indifferent as you can get. He would never actively try to hurt Brandi like this if he were happily married and loving life. Never. He doesn’t support his own children financially. Brandi and LeAnn do. He contributes next to nothing. He has no moral high ground to stand on at all, so his statement to People Magazine seems even more ridiculous. LeAnn’s a nightmare, but he’s no doubt manipulating her and fueling her insanity. Really, he’s a total loser as a parent and a human being. His parents failed in a major way. He could be the poster boy for The Sociopath Next Door.
That’s why I posted earlier, eddie is still in love with Brandi and he’s showing her, you kicked me out so now this is what you get! He gets leanne going with saying diggs about brandi so leanne just thinks she’s on the same page with eddie about despising Brandi. Brandi in the end should be flattered they spend so much time on her. In hollywood if your not in the news, you’re dead! Brandi sit back and wait. You only have 6 more years with Mason before he leaves that eddie mess for good. Mason will always be on your side forever!
I don’t know if it’s love or if he’s just insanely angry that she stopped believing his lies and left him with nowhere to go but to LeAnn. At any rate, he’s very invested in hurting her and enlisting LeAnn to help. LeAnn probably thinks that it’s this great bond between them but really it’s just another way he’s using her. She does the dirty work in public and is on most hated celebrity lists constantly. She also pays all of the bills. People always say Ed’s under her control, but I think that’s the farthest thing from the truth. He’s got her right where he wants her. She’ll do absolutely anything necessary to keep him.
True, Eddie never stopped obsessing over and loving Brandi. And it shows in all his actions to this day. All the arranged “happy family” paparazzi shots are staged by Eddie and Leann to get Brandi’s attention. HE is the one who can’t let go.
I have children, and I have step-children, there IS a difference. My children are a God-given gift and responsibility. My step-children are a stewardship entrusted to me. This is hard to articulate..no matter what Brandi has done wrong in her life,she is and will always be the one & only mother of those boys. Leann has overstepped her boundaries many times and many ways. The best rule of thumb is–is this in the best interest of the child? Eddie is a coward for not correcting Leann.
I must have really upset Leann and Darrell with my comments because at 3 am today, the Leann fan who posts here, went to JJ, created an account in my name, copied and pasted all of the posts that I made here on JJ and wrote 7 posts in my name(15 posts total). Why do Leann’s fans do that? Leann must be having one big meltdown.
To the poster who said she monitors closely cause she blocked right away. Yes I was blocked within literally the second I posted both on her Twitter and Instagram account and my comment was deleted almost immediately. She, Kiki, Darrell, and darrells husband mantisjewel( a big troll on Twitter) are monitoring the tweets very closely. How tacky for Darrell to have RT the people article claiming Brandi was lying and facing the tweet calling Brandi a pod and Leann facing the tweet Brandi is jealous. And how dare eddy say Brandi won’t leave them alone and is the only one starting things and is negative. We all witness everyday how Leann stalks Brandi and swfs all her tweets and poses and tries to one up her every day and we all see how it is Brandi who speaks nicely of them asking people to play nice while Leann deletes negative comments about herself but leaves the ones about Brandi for Mason to see. And that ugly Australian reptile looking fan of hers bonybony better stop leaving such nasty comments about Brandi.
Everyone thinks the twitter handle bonnieventure is fa curves but it’s Not! Can’t admit to how I know this but bonnieventure a believe it or not is Leanns Canadian nice mom fan – Marybeth (the pretty woman from Canada with kids who also has that home Decor blog)
Now Leann is posting passive aggressive tweets; saying she has the song, “Begging and pleading” by Brandy on repeat. Clearly that is a passive aggressive directed towards Brandi. Jeez, Leann’s hate runs deep. We get it Leann, you are pissed and you can pretend that it was not directed or in anyway connected to the mother of your step-sons. You just keep it up Rimes, and you are going to get payback for all the wrong you are doing. You are the meanest, most hateful, biatch I have ever seen in my life. No wonder so many can’t stand you. Your karma is going to be brutal one of these days and I hope I live long enough to see it take you down.
Leann’s behavior toward the MOTHER of children she loves reeks of spite, hate and revenge. Kind of detracts from her chalk talk doesn’t it? Can’t even imagine how loathsome her behavior is in every day life. Her partners in crime, Eddie, Darrel, the jeweler, Kiki, and a couple of fans, are all cut from the same cloth. Karma has a way of slapping those kind of people in the face.
did anyone notice how Karla Hoffman has been tweeting people magazine ever since Darrell and Leann fed them that bs interview calling Brandi a liar? It’s as if Karla is basking in the happiness of people magazine taking Leann and eddies side over Brandi. Karla is the ultimate hypocrite and secretly hates Brandi as much as Leann does and I believe it’s Karla who helps instigate wars between the 2 women since she hangs out with both of them. As Mel Gibson truthfully said “they are the cause of all the wars”
Karla is an attention starved, bored, wannabe, who inserts herself into everything. I don’t think she hates Brandi at all. She’s just not loyal and turns a blind eye ro LeAnn and Eddie’s utterly cruel behaviour. Her husband demanded she be nice to LeAnn, probably hoping he’d get work from her and she complied. She’s truly pathetic and fancies herself a celebrity and spiritual guru. Just like LeAnn, she spouts rainbows, while doing the opposite.
