As we previewed yesterday, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian sat down for a television interview together to discuss their relationship, and now ABC News has released the motherload of quotes from the piece. My GOD. LeAnn Rimes just doesn’t know how to NOT piss people off, does she? The sh-t that she says…it’s like she thinks she’s the greatest, best, most amazing gift to mankind, while simultaneously she acts like the biggest martyr since Jesus. Wait… there’s video too!
Hahahaha… she won’t acknowledge that she’s a stalker. Bless her batsh-t crazy heart. Here’s more:
For the past year-and-a-half, LeAnn Rimes has been a walking bull’s eye. The country music star has been the target of the tabloids, called a “home wrecker” and a “stalker” over her affair with a married man. But the multi-Grammy award-winning singer says the real story is much deeper and more complicated than it’s been portrayed.
“The fact that anyone would print that without actually even talking to my side was shocking,” Rimes told ABC News’ Robin Roberts about coverage of her controversial affair with actor Eddie Cibrian. “That’s just not me. What happened is not who I am, period. But I do know how much I love him. So I’ve always said I don’t live my life with regret. I can’t.”
Rimes and Cibrian met on the set of their made-for-TV movie, “Northern Lights,” last year. The movie received more publicity for its off-screen drama than its on-screen plot, when rumors spread that Rimes, who was then married to dancer Dean Sheremet, was having an affair with Cibrian, who was also married and had two children with model Brandi Glanville.
“It happens every day to so many people. And I if I take away my album sales, my words, and you have just another couple. You had two couples whose marriages didn’t work who really stumbled upon each other and fell in love,” Rimes said. “I can’t change [critics’] minds. Nothing I’m going to say is going to change it. I do know that and I have accepted that.”
Eddie Cibrian: ‘We’re Madly in Love’
Cibrian moved into Rimes’ home outside of Los Angeles over the summer. In his first interview, Cibrian opened up to Roberts about his life with Rimes.
“The truth is that we’re human beings. … We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we’re human. We fell in love,” Cibrian said. “We’re talking about something that’s over a year, year and-a-half old, really and we’re still together and we’re madly in love. And I think people are finally seeing that, but it doesn’t mean that people will accept it or the tabloids will stop trying to print lies and try to tear us apart or tear us down.”
“We’re really happy in what we feel privately,” Rimes added. “We hope [that] one day, I think people will feel publicly.”
Rimes burst on the music scene in the mid-90s. By 14, she had already made music history, becoming not only the youngest artist to be nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award, but also the first country singer to win a Grammy for Best New Artist, in 1996. With a bright future ahead, there was no time for a childhood. A non-stop schedule of shows and recording dates would gradually wear her down. She also developed a severe skin disorder that covered much of her body and would take years to control.
“It was very discouraging because nothing really worked and I felt like, you know, kids would look at me strange,” she recalled. “It was oddly enough, all of the sudden, then I had to be in the public eye in front of millions of people, you know, at thirteen.”
Rimes said her grueling schedule at times made her question her passion for music.
“I did 500 shows in three-and-a-half years … I was doing like two shows a day at times, [from] the time I was thirteen [until] sixteen and-a-half, and I was like ‘I’m done,'” she said.
In her book, “What I Cannot Change,” Rimes wrote about days she did not want to perform for anyone, but said when she wasn’t doing a show, she didn’t know what do with herself. When asked by Roberts who she was without music, Rimes broke down in tears.
“That was my life!” she said, crying. “I’m learning who I am without it and that’s the coolest thing about my life right now that I have all of these incredible things happening and I have family and — and I’m learning who I am without it.”
In the past decade, Rimes has stayed busy, releasing six albums. She’s out with a new single and video called “Swingin’,” — only this time, music is not the burden that it used to be.
“There’s been a lot thrust on my shoulders at a very young age. I — thank God. I don’t know how I could have handled it, but I have and I’m still here. And that’s — that’s saying a lot, you know?”
[From ABC News]
I didn’t know she had skin problems. Perhaps it was God trying to punish her preemptively? No, I don’t believe in that kind of sh-t. But I love how LeAnn is sort of using her screwed up childhood to basically defend her behavior. What’s weird is that I kind of understand it though – she’s never known what it’s like to not have people kissing her ass. And since she started so young, she spent years and years believing her own hype, being mollycoddled by everyone. When she “screwed up” by cheating on her husband and f-cking a married man, she expected the same reaction that she’d always gotten – that people would still think she was a little country music princess, never to be tainted.
She is not helping herself, doing interviews every five minutes and twittering her ass off. She needs to keep mum, nobody wants to hear your so called trial and tribulations.
She needs to be quiet if she ever hopes to gain back some of people that used to like her. Running her mouth constantly is not helping. She’s not a princess anymore, but a whore.
But she has lived her life without eyes.
But she has lived her life without eyes.
I like them together! LeAnn got stuck with a closet gay.. No wonder she wasn’t happy.
She seems very happy now, they make a cute couple!!
She just keeps heaping it on and that’s why she gets backlash, she can’t justify her behavior, period.
Lord she oogly
@Ricci: I do agree with you about her first husband but she seemed to really rush into that one. She just doesn’t seem to be very smart to me. She is talented, don’t get me wrong. Blue is one of my favorite country songs and I also think her song Probably Shouldn’t Be This Way is one of the most beautiful ever, in any genre. But she doesn’t seem to know herself very well even though she claims that she does. I didn’t really know a lot about myself when I was younger but I also didn’t rush into relationships to try and find myself either. I think the best way to learn about yourself is to be on your own, really on your own, for a while.
I had to read the part about “that’s just not me” which translates to “I’m really a good person even though you wouldn’t know it by my behavior” or “someone hijacked my body and used it for evil purposes”, the mantra of every convicted criminal.
She seems resigned to the fact her career won’t recover, God bless country music fans.
This business about having a family; Rocks The Cradle much. LeAnn, you are his live-in gf for the moment but we all want you to marry ASAP because that’s when the hell starts. There is absolutely no difference between the picture she paints of Eddie and that she painted with Deane, one of perfect togetherness. If Eddie was smart (if pigs could fly) he wouldn’t marry her because as bad as the 24/7 is now, it will get worse. She needs constant attention and throws a pissy fit when she doesn’t get it. The kids will no longer be of use to her as they become an annoyance to her touring and soon enough the eldest will be saying, “You’re not my mom so shut up”.
Yes, love is grand but when the two people in love are heartless narcissists, the love is nothing but a grandstand.
“When she “screwed up” by cheating on her husband and f-cking a married man, she expected the same reaction that she’d always gotten – that people would still think she was a little country music princess, never to be tainted.”
Look at Tori and Dean. They haven’t received 1/10th the backlash and they did basically the same thing. In fact, they went on to start their own family and how often does Dean see his other kids? (I don’t think his other kid(s) are allowed to be on their show so not sure how much he would see him/them).
I think LR and EC thought they’d get the same reaction.

Also, that dress she’s wearing in the top pic is terrible.
@Ricci- Although I have mixed feelings about Leann, I do feel sorry about her too-young marriage to a fairly effeminate, possibly gay, man.
they’re starting to look alike…
I’m really tired of hearing about them. No one gave a crap about anything LeAnn did UNTIL she had an affair (which millions of people do all the time, doesn’t make it right but still). I know of her because she’s my age and it was a big deal when she came out with Blue back in the 90’s. The other people in the story, I have no idea who any of them are.
@Rita….well said!
BTW you guys, someone better tell Dean’s girlfriend he’s gay…lol!
I don’t know if Dean is gay or not. Plenty of effeminate men are not gay. She could have done the proper thing divorced/separated from her husband before hopping into the sack with someone else’s husband. A messed up childhood does not excuse adult behavior, especially when she damn well should have known better by now.
Dean is not gay, he has a girlfriend now. That’s what Leann’s PR loves to throw out there so that Leann can justify her cheating ways. Another interview that’s going to piss people off. I applaud you Leann, you really know how to keep yourself looking bad.
Her are her D!ick for hire are ridiculous. AND word on the street is that the Edster was trying to blackmail Brandi by saying if she doesn’t admit publicly that she has a drinking problem he’ll go for full custody with the kids using her DUI as a platform.
He wants her getting as much backlash as him.
Two of the most annoying people around He is a nothing actor and my God has he aged in the past year and Leann has and always will be ugly inside and out Remember an interview she did a few years ago when she was married to Dean and she started crying about how much she loved him and he rushed in to comfort her same story different man Why don’t they just shut up and go far far away
Dean is not gay-he has a girlfriend and she is GORGEOUS. 10 X’s prettier than LeMANn and he moved to New York to pursue his love of cooking.
I feel weird knowing all this-lol.
If Brandi suffers a substance problem by all means check in now. Many do and it’s nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Clearly, she hasn’t been able to move on yet. Eddie might have some great qualities we don’t want to admit but she seems to want them still. Good luck Brandi and I’m looking forward to ABC’s Eddie and LeAnn interview tonite.
If people don’t like her tweets why follow them like a dog on a bone?
Can’t wait for these two towers of virtue to turn on each other….Epic!
How about living it with a little discretion and self-restraint?
irena: she doesn’t have a substance abuse problem-he’s just using the DUI as a threat for her to say she does so she can look bad too. Sure she’s drinking more than normal, but stress, heartache and crazy new wanna-be stepmoms do that to you.
Its frustrating to see how she is getting silenced with threats-yet here Leann and Eddie get an ABC platform to air whatever they want. I’d be super-pissed if I was her. Its wrong no matter how you try to slice it.
I know LeAnn’s PR people read every word on here (irena) so you might want to pass this along to your employer. If Ed and Le were to ever try to take Brandi’s children from her, the sh!t storm would wash smirk-gurl’s little love nest off its foundation. Turds will fall on Curb records like rain and sewer sludge will wash over the CMA. Her venues will be inundated with so much crap their servers will crash and Mr. Bruickheimer will think his empire slid into a manure pile. Hope you understand and have a nice day.
@irena, Leann PR? Of course you would be. Brandi drinks probably either just as much or maybe less than Leann and Eddie. Pics of them with beers in their hands & drinks on vacation & shot glasses getting into cars. Tweets about what wine they will be drinking & cuddling by the fire. Give me a break!
If Sarah Silver is still Dean’s girlfriend, she makes my gaydar go off too.
*gives Eileen a dubious sideways glance* (jk)
Really, I was just WAITING for him to try and wrest the boys from Brandi over the DUI. Those of us who share custody with ex’s live in constant fear of the slightest f*ckups. What an asshole. If it is indeed true. And if it turns out it is true, I am with Rita.
Oh Rita I love you!!!!!!!
@Riley so you insult not only Dean but his girlfriend to. Really nice.
She fell in love with herself. He looks just like her.
@Rita I love you too!!!
@jezi They have nothing left to stand on and are too stupid to STFU. They honestly think this will change public opinion? Unbelievable!!!!
Since neither of us know her, it is possible she might. Many of us have had or do have them. But help is available once we take the first step of admitting to ourselves and then others. She has that friend, Jennifer Gimenez, who was on Sober House who would be able to recognize and help guide her, IF she does. Heck, Brandi could get a spot on the show if it’s true. We just don’t have the privvy details to make a judgment.
I might be able to overlook her narcisstic need to pretend like everything she does is good, nice, sweet and perfect, no matter how horrible her actions truly are, if she didn’t also spend so much time on twitter self-rightously lecturing other people about how they need to get in touch with God and how she’s disappointed in certain people’s actions. So basically rules, morals, and standards of accountability are only things that other people need to adhere to, but not for the precious, alimighty Leann. She makes me sick.
She brings to mind the expression “she thinks her crap doesn’t stink.”
@ 31: I don’t look at it as an insult. I am just saying they make my gaydar go off. People say that all the time on this blog about all kinds of people (mostly men) but I will name a few: Kristin Stewart, Bradley Cooper, Zac Ephron, Angelina Jolie, etc. A lot of people don’t think of it as an insult to make someone’s gaydar go off. Leonardo DiCaprio likes that about himself as does Daniel Radcliff and James Franco.
@irena go find something else. Your Brandi has a problem pitch isn’t working here. If Brandi does then I will say I do to. Who else out there does? Where are my other alcoholics? You sound just as bad as Eddie.
@irena you say “we” as if you know who I am. My reply to your statement was fact so there you go, you don’t have to speculate about her going into “Sober House.” ::::EYE ROLL::::
Bet she regrets wearing that dress in the first pic…
Oh yeah, I went there… (snap)
Does she mean no regrets or no morals?
@Riley sorry I didn’t mean to lash out at you and by no way am I insinuating that being gay is an insult. It bothers me because Leann’s PR used that to make Dean look bad and to justify her cheating. That’s why I got upset.
I don’t know why this irks me so freakin’ much, but it’s “all of A sudden,” NOT “all THE sudden” or “all of the sudden”…AACK!! It makes me twitchy. I know “all of a sudden” is a weird turn of phrase, but if you’ve read a book, like, EVER, you would know what the correct phrasing is. So, when you say it or write it wrong, I automatically think you’re an idiot.
/rant
@Riley I think she meant insult by insinuating their relationship is a lie-not that they could be gay. (not that there’s anything wrong with that lol) I think every celebrity out there has been on some1’s gaydar on here.
I used to work with someone whose wife was LeAnn Rimes’s cousin (I lived in Wichita Kansas). The cousin was very open about her opinion of LeAnn and it was very bad. She said LeAnn was the nastiest, most arrogant, cruel person she had every known. She told various stories about how LeAnn treated members of her own family! I didn’t really know who LeAnn was at the time because I didn’t follow country music, but I’ve sense watched her career with interest.I’d say her cousin’s assessment of her was pretty darn accurate.
Hmmmmm NOPE still HATE her!
@ considering your not the first to voice this opinion.
@jezi Irena’s sound familiar
OH P.S. I love my wine
Here’s a little conspiracy theory for you.
I’ve been fasinated by how “coincidental” this saga has been,i.e., Eddie gets CSI role when LeAnn wants him in bed, Eddie files for joint custody just days after L&S reports his cheating on LeAnn, and the divorce is finalized after LeAnn’s payoff kept it all very secret just days before her new album was to be released. Now, the day before the “poor me” interview on ABC, Eddie threatens Brandi so it will look so justified.
So now the DUI. Eddie knew Brandi was going to a party so he had his parents watch the kids. Eddie knew exactly where and when Brandi would be. On this very day, LeAnn knew the editor of Shape was going to be exposed for sending out the email stating it was a terrible mistake to put LeAnn on the cover. The next thing we know, Brandi is stopped by a cop for DUI. Did one of LeAnn’s “people” slip the cop a few bucks to patrol the area? Is there a tracking device on Brandi’s car?
Does anyone think LeAnn would not stoop to this level?
@ Jezi: We’re cool.
@Considering…I’ve heard that said, too, but I think Leann’s own words & actions really make her come across as a self-absorbed, selfish person.
@Riley 🙂
Eddie just did a guest appearance on some show as a serial killer who used his young son to entrap women, carve their hearts out with a hammer & chisel then dump the bodies by trash dumpsters. The plot of the story was basically spelled out then Eddie appears as the killer, can’t tell you how it ended, I turned the channel once I realized it was him…and it was just too disturbing to watch. Interesting though…. a guy that rips a women’s heart out, then disposes her like trash.
Who cares about LeAnn. Please just go away…
@Jen: All of a sudden, people who go on grammatical rants in the middle of gossip posts irk me, like, so freakin’ much. 😀
Looks like Leann is calling the mags liars. She’s saying her words are “twisted”. Maybe if she didn’t talk about the affair, no one could “twist” what she is saying. This is coming from Leann on her twitter:
“maybe if they wouldn’t twist what I said and watch the whole interview then there would be understanding. I never said what THEY are putting in my mouth. I’m trying to talk past this, so my music is priority. This will be the last time I speak about this situation. Its sad that my honesty is being twisted, but I don’t expect people to print the truth, that would be too….right!”
I remember that before she married Dean she was in love with some “pretty boy” (maybe an actor) and it seemed like he really broke her heart. Then she up and married Dean. It seemed like some kind of cure for her earlier heartbreak.
LeAnn is her own biggest enemy, if she would have just kept her mouth shut.
Johnny Cash & his wife were married to others when they met but they didn’t make press releases about it. This is another time with “twitter” and the internet but you don’t have to make statements, that has never changed.
She makes my skin crawl. I hope they get married because that’s when his suffering will begin. Everything is always good in the beginning until it gets down to the hard part. He will up and leave or just cheat on her. Unlike brandi she seems crazy, she might go fatal attraction on his ass lol.
#54: Before she married Dean, she dated some actor named Andrew Keegan (I loathe myself just a little bit for even knowing that by the way.) And when they broke up he said “that girl has a lot of growing up to do.”
And here we are about a decade later and it seems she still hasn’t grown up yet.
Well, most heartless trashy Whores, dont have regrets,, what else is knew under the sun.. Next
@Rita…Don’t you think you are giving those two jack rabbits way too much smarts for something like that?
@Charity…charity-I-am? (awesome)
@Jeri Andrew Keegan. He cheated on her and left her for Piper Perabo when they were filming Coyote Ugly. Now I’m scary for knowing that, right with Eileen.
@ Rita Why do you care so much? I swear it seems like Eddie cheated on you. You really make this so personal. It’s very creepy!
@Rita: I’m sorry, I just checked my contract, and I can’t be with someone wearing a tinfoil cap.
@heavenbound there is a lot of us defending Brandi here, why do you pick on Rita?
@ Jezi I’ve been a regular on this site for years, I love CB and Kaiser. Ever since this “scandal broke” Rita has been posting like she was the “scorned woman”. I am entitled to my own opinion, just like you are. Chill out.
@Crash2GO2, I hate people who correct your spelling too. So annoying.
@Heavenbound I’m not saying you aren’t entitled, I’m asking a simple question. I’m just wondering why Rita is picked on when all of us have felt some sort of personalization to Brandi’s situation or this entire scandal. I know I have, I know a lot of people feel the same. It isn’t about being the “scorned woman” but being a person whose either experienced it themselves or just someone who can empathize with how it must feel to have your family torn apart and then be victimized over and over again. It’s bothered a lot of us.
Aaaaaand the biggest reason she cannot feel regret is because she’s not sorry for one damn thing in her life. She’s a spoiled, entitled little crybaby who pitches a woowoo whenever she can’t have her man or her chocah milk. If people caught hurt in the almighty Rimes’ pusuit of the ultimate “O”, then so be it. What Leanne wants Leanne gets.
White trash moron. As “Dlisted” has said, can someone serve her up an icy glass of STFU?
@ Jezi
I hate to get personal on a site that is just a way to escape and have a “little fun”. I have gone thru the same experience as Brandi and a legion of many other women who have gone thru this same situation. I am not defending LR ( I need to make this clear). My only thing is that Rita “takes this whole scandal” like it personally happened to her investigating every little single detail of 3 people she does not even know personally. I do not have a problem commenting on the situation. But homegirl has made it her “crusade” and quite frankly it is a little scary that you invest so much emotions on a situation that is out of your immediate realm. Unless, Brandi is her family, why is she so up in arms. When it happened to me I took the appropriate steps to heal and let it go.
She’s ONLY worried about being called a stalker? OMG WHERE IS HER PUBLICIST?! She needs to stfu!
What is she famous for anyway? Didn’t she yodel or something when she was like 12? No one wants to hear that crapy anymore. Just GO. AWAY.
@Crash2go2 & heavenbound
I was so hoping you like tin caps (lol). It’s all fair.
@Heavenbound, I get like this because I feel for people who are being intentionally harmed: male or female, black or whatever, gay or straight, young or old.
I can’t go to LeAnn’s house and beat her with an ugly stick (someone beat me to it) so I speak out here and only here. If every person in this country turned their backs on her, perhaps she’d be a better person but her enabling fans encourage her behavior.
If there are no consequences to our behavior, then we as “humans”, as Eddie puts it, will find our lowest common denominator.
If EC and/or LR have driven drunk, that in no way justifies BG doing so. Do any of you who post so vehemently against LR ever stop to think that some friends of EC’s older son may have older brothers and sisters who may taunt him with your comments about LR and thereby cause him even more distress than he may already be experiencing?
Unlike most of you, I don’t live in these people’s hair and know their innermost thoughts, but I will again point out that adults we don’t know decided to leave their marriages for one another almost two years ago. One of them has a Twitter account on which her posts annoy most of you to the point of apparent desperation. Don’t read them then. If LR and EC do break up, rest assured you’ll hear about it.
In the meantime please don’t assume that the rest of the world hates them and obsesses about them as you do. I read her comments above as very sad, actually, reflective of another child exploited by her parents and robbed of any sense of family and security, or of being loved as anything but a piggybank.
“Does anyone think LeAnn would not stoop to this level?”
Stoop to what level? Brandi wouldn’t have gotten a DUI if the cop hadn’t smelled alcohol.
I called the cops and gave them more than one license plate number when I worked in a restuarant and people came through smelling of booze. I didn’t set those people up, I did my civic duty. Especially the man who came in reeking of booze and had his young son with him. The cops busted him for his FOURTH DUI that day.
My ex had an issue with alcohol. In our custody paperwork it actually stated he couldn’t drink w/in 24 hours of having visitation. One day he showed up smelling like beer and I wouldn’t let him pick up our son. Once he sobered up I told him if he ever showed up like that again not only would I deny visitation, I would call the cops and he would get a DUI. I didn’t stoop to any level, I protected my child.
Brandi admitted she messed up, which is the responsible thing to do. My ex tried to pin all kinds of stupid things on me, but I made sure I wasn’t breaking any laws so no matter what he did I was fine.
This actually made me sympathize with her a bit. She was a child star forced to support her family, overworked, missed her childhood and youth while she made everyone money. She rushed into marriage at a young age probably trying to emancipate herself from her career, family, record label. Not condoning what she did but her childhood was the framework for all of this.
No matter HOW many homes I break up with small children. ZERO conscience.
@alejandro Please. not to bare my soul but my father who was an alcoholic serial cheater kidnapped me from my mother who verbally abused me my whole childhood and I have managed not to jump onto someone’s married penis or cheat on my husband my whole life.
Not to sound too bitchy-its just I get tired of people justifying behavior with the bad childhood cry. At a certain point, you have to choose to use your past as a “what not to do” and make the right choices as an adult OR you’ll just use your past as a crutch to justify every bad choice you make. Bringing up bad childhoods while talking about your bad choices makes it like your trying to cancel out your own bad behavior.
Eddie just did a guest appearance on some show as a serial killer who used his young son to entrap women, carve their hearts out with a hammer & chisel then dump the bodies by trash dumpsters.
*************
That was “Criminal Minds” (episode title “In Name and Blood”) and he did that awhile ago (2007). It was my first year working on the show. He was a pretty boy, but really, nothing much beneath the dimples.
#72
NO , I’m pretty sure almost everyone either hates her or could give a crap less. If she came off as a poor abused baby, TS. That doesn’t give her license to hurt other with impunity. You stop being a child when your childhood stops defining you. Time for her to grow up now and realize she’s not the queen of the whole world.
She says on her tweet that she’s not going to talk about this anymore. I don’t think she can help herself.
@Heavenbound understand, just don’t think Rita is crazy, think she just is upset about what went down like most of us are. I do believe that those two crazies EC/LR do things deliberately to hurt Brandi even still. So I think her healing takes a lot longer when two people look to hurt. Just because it looks like Brandi is hurting doesn’t mean she really is though, she just isn’t going to take sh!t lying down from those two idiots. I commend her for standing her ground and making us all aware of what she’s experienced.
May I add too that, unlike so many others who’ve been put through this miserable ‘childhood,’ LR has reconciled with her parents, and has apparently stayed away from drugs. I agree that she likely married so young to escape that grim situation but from what I’ve read, and from the duration of that marriage, they did deeply love one another. If she drinks too much I hope she will soon address that, for many reasons. If she does drink and drive, then she – and anyone else who does so even once – has chosen to risk others’ lives, and there is nothing on earth that can ever in the slightest regard justify or expain that callous and hateful action.
Many people have had bad experiences in childhood but overcome them. Leann also had a father who cheated on her mother so you would think she would know better. I don’t think this will change anyone’s mind about her and if she thinks this will help her career,she’s mistaken.
Bringing up bad childhoods while talking about your bad choices makes it like your trying to cancel out your own bad behavior.
**********
BINGO! I had the mother of all shitty mothers from birth to age ten and I don’t blame any of my bad behavior on that. I also was in love with my now husband when he was married, and I waited until he was free and clear to hook up with him… ok, it still took 10 years (long story, catch my blog by clicking the link under my pic if you give a shit) but the point is that you WAIT. You have some decorum and you wait before taking a love or infatution to the next level when other people (and especially children) are involved. Sorry, there is simply no excuse for cheating. None. Just wait.
Leann Rimes looks like a dude. Therefore, is it not possible that BOTH her husband and her boyfriend are gay? Or possibly they both have untreated retinal detachment. That could be it, too. Because Leann Rimes is ugly, see? GET IT?
@Liana U should be PROUD you waited 10 years! you knew what you wanted but you refused to be selfish and you waited it out. Nothing wrong with that.
Ugh , everyone keeps forgetting one thing..
Just cause a man is dating a women , doesnt mean he is not gay for sure.
Some Gays date women to hide the truth.
Jesus, I wish people could get over this kind of crap. What they did was so ordinary and so totally within the realm of regular human behavior, why is this news? Did they start eating babies as well? Did they tie their exes to the back of a pick-up with a gun rack in the window and speed down a gravel country road? Maybe emotionally, but cripes, we’re all adults here(I hope!)and this happens somewhere in this country every day probably 50 times over, if not more.

@straybullet -normally I NEVER comment this much but why would someone get out of shape because people are finally calling out bad behavior? Commenting that people should GET OVER when famous people advertise its good to cheat and make bad decisions makes me think you want justification for your own bad choices. I am really pushing hard to call out famous people’s choices because I have two kids and no matter how much I live by example, they are going to also factor in who they emulate. I can only then work to make there be a day that celebrities live up to the same moral code I do.
Ferret face needs to develop a drug problem then cry about it on Oprah. 😆
Well, you can already tell that this interview has backfired and worked against LR and EC, just look at how LR and her producer are doing major damage control in this thread by posting under all these different names (ie- the “why do you care so much” posters).
“I can only then work to make there be a day that celebrities live up to the same moral code I do.”
Why do celebrities have to live up to your moral code?

Where do you draw the line in what is right/wrong? cheating is wrong, but personal attacks about someone’s looks are fine?
(I’m not trying to be mean and I don’t defend what LR or EC did. I just am trying to understand why people 1. care so much and 2. take BG’s word on Twitter as gold)
His head is enormous.
Wow @ Eileen, you’ll be waiting til Doomsday if you expect there to be a time when celebrities or anyone else for that matter live up to your own moral code. You’re there to impart that to your children as I’m sure you do, and why would they follow any stranger whose behavior deviates from what they see and experience in their own home from people who love and care for them!?
While I condemn both parties, and have sympathy for Brandi and Deane, who seem to be trying to figure out their new lives, I do think the backlash has been insane when compared to the Tori Spelling-Dean McDermott affair, which was largely ignored and they have made an entire career on their affair.
@icantbelieve this:
You are not alone. I personally can’t stand Dean McDermott and I hope he rots. Leaving his wife while they were adopting a baby girl for Tori Spelling, who he had previously dogged for her appearance until he worked with her on a miniseries, makes him a worthless and weak in my eyes.
@NancyMan:
You’re on the wrong thread for that one! 🙂
@Liana:
I commend your restraint and decency. I think it’s a sad commentary on the state of our cultural attitude toward marriage that I’m commending it, when your respect should be the norm. Good for you, bad for society.
@icantbeleivethis: having a personal opinion on someone’s looks and sleeping with a married man and cheating on your husband are WAY different. I think she looks like a man. If it makes you feel any better I will post a photo of myself for you to judge my appearance. Putting yourself out on tv and internet for everyone to like or dislike is a celebrities’ job. Lying and cheating are NOT their job. If they want to do that-that is their choice-but its the public’s opinion on if that choice will be accepted or not. That’s where I think things need to change. I only see how Parasite Hilton flashed her vagy to cameras, got TONS of attention and then others started doing it. Now we see girls starting pornos to get celebrity. I can only hope this phase dies down and then we can also say cheating isn’t kosher either. Yes its FAR OFF-but I can dream can’t I?? 😉
@Eileen
I would add one thing to your comment and that is you’ll notice only the desperate celebs hype their bad antics or keep the bad news in the spin cycle. Ladies like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are selling by the millions because of their good qualities. We as a society in general are still wanting these “genuine” qualities in our public figures.
“but its the public’s opinion on if that choice will be accepted or not.”
But then what would we have to gossip about? So boring!
Seriously though I will admit I’m jaded. In my life seeing my dad cheat repeatedly and being cheated on were the easiest things to deal with. I wouldn’t say I am “glad” my ex cheated, but I am glad I ended up with the husband, kids and life I have now.
@cantbeleivethis: My childhood was ROUGH too. I was also a wildchild growing up because I didn’t have adult supervision. But now I have two kids and my life miraculously changed when that happened. I had no idea it did until I got a ‘W’ magazine in the mail when my oldest was 2 that featured Kate Moss on the cover after she was photographed doing cocaine a few weeks eariler. I was pissed-and canceled my subscription of 15 years. Did it make a difference? Probably not-but you have to start somewhere. If I don’t’ live and support my beliefs while raising my children -what kind of person am I?? I don’t go to church every Sunday-but I help everyone when I can and I live by right and wrong. What’s wrong with expecting others to do the same?
Oh yes, because no one is allowed to have a differing opinion of LR and EC than the gangleaders, those of us who do are on her payroll. I can only say that if I were I’d say so and I’d sure not be working at the horrific job I have now.
I challenge any of you to respond to my question of how your really repulsive comments on here (and I’m sure elsewhere) about EC and LR might truly harm EC’s older boy, should someone convey to him even just the gist of what you say about EC and LR. Indeed I would think that the nasty things you write would be the last words of which BG would want her children to be made aware.
I live in Western Australia, so by the time I get up and drink the first of my four morning cups of coffee, I’ve missed the boat on these threads, which get posted when I’m going to bed. Always a pity. But whilst it’s too late to join in the fray, I want to show my support for Rita regarding the bitching and rediculing some people threw at her.
“Empathy” is pricisely the issue here. I wish all human beings had the capacity to empathise, but many don’t. I’ve never been “scorned” (BTW, notice how pro-LeAnners here use this term derisively… making victimised women out to be a butt of a joke? Remember that what largely defines a sociopath is their incapacity to empathise.). Despite having never been “scorned”, I feel great sympathy to Dean and Brandi.
How awful it must have been to be in their shoes. Dean took the brunt with LeAnn – targeted with gay rumours. As an example of the way pro-LeAnners work, I’ve noticed a couple of frequenters here reiterating the point that Dean went to gay clubs. BUT, they ALWAYS omit the fact that every bloody time he did… he went there WITH LeAnn. A large proportion of LeAnn’s friends are gay… and musicians frequent those bars a lot to keep up with music trends. Remember: LeAnn is ALSO a pop-singer, damnit! “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” and “How Do I Live” were LeAnn’s biggest earners and kept her relevant in the broader musical industry. She was called one of the most successful crossover singers at the same time Shania Twain was doing it. LeAnn’s album “Whatever We Wanna” is pop… British pop but still pop. Dean wasn’t trolling for boys… he was being a good husband and supporting LeAnn’s interests and hanging out with her friends. NOW, LeAnnfans are using it to blame Dean and excuse LeAnn’s deliberate and determined seduction of a married man and father.
And I reiterate for Irena’s sake (although she has demonstrated that she’s willfully ignoring cogent arguments about LeAnn that she, herself, cannot refute) that less than a week before Brandi’s DUI, LeAnn tipped TMZ as to where she and Eddie were downing shots at a club and thus led to TMZ posting a video wherein a visably tipsy Eddie drove too.
I would happily kick Brandi’s arse for the DUI; but Eddie is just as guilty. He and LeAnn (and the other two passengers) were just bloody lucky that no cop pulled THEM over that night.
BTW Rita; I don’t understand Twitter (I don’t understand WiFi, how to activate Bluetooth, or how to use the camera on my phone. I miss the 90s and my C64) but I will figure it out and join up to help with the “sh!tstorm” if does Eddie tries to manipulate the DUI to get full custody. As a Scorpio (hey ScorpiosRule!), I’m like a dog with a bone once I am emotionally involved.
Everything about these two just sucks.
OMG. The CLASSIC sentence uttered by every cheater. No regrets=No insight into thyself. No Faith. How can this self-called “American Sweetheart” (vomit) not have faith. Aren’t those cowgirls from Nashville supposed to love God.
Tthe backlash is bc of her “ends justify the means” attitude. Tori and dean didn’t tweet every minute either. I hate that leann purposely tweets about the kids knowing it pisses off brandi. It’s so wrong
@Shelley.
Sure thing. Firstly I’d say that a seven year old kid mentally curious and smart enough to google “LeAnn Rimes affair” is likely to first prioritise googling “boobies” or “Miley Cyrus”. What primary school-aged children are likely to know LeAnn’s name outside of the deep south where the parents are (were) fans? And even they’re more likely to be googling “Taylor Swift”. Beneath the age of ten, they’re not even old enough to see ‘Twilight’ and google “Taylor Lautner”.
It aint celebrity gossip sites these imaginary bullies of yours would be getting the info. It would be the parents. Outside of the south, is LeAnn really a star in California? She hasn’t yet got herself a reality show. And presuming your scenario, could Eileen perhaps step in and inform us as to the likelyhood that she’d say to her primary aged children… who in this scenario attend the same school… the things that are said above? I assume you’re talking about the “Scrunch Face” comments.
I’m a babysitter who truly dislikes Britney, but I never called her a skank around my young charges. I told them that acting like a bimbo and making boys your number one priority could screw up your lives.
Hey! I wasn’t wrong.
“What’s wrong with expecting others to do the same? ”
I have no problem with cancelling a subscription, boycotting music, tv show, etc. I wouldn’t buy a LR CD (not that I did before). I didn’t buy Shape and I don’t buy tabloids.
The part I don’t get is why some get so hateful about it (on either side). It is one thing to say its wrong and back that up by not supporting someone, I just don’t get the level of hate thrown at her or BG.
@shelley I get what you are saying. I have never encouraged anyone to speak ill of my ex. My husband won’t even speak badly of my ex because at the end of the day, no matter what has happened, he is still my son’s father and in hurting my ex I would hurt my son.
@shelley I’m sure the whole school knows that their unemployed father is shacking up with his girlfriend and she pretending to be their mother and probably other things too, the remarks voiced on this site does not compare with what he has seen or heard in that household. Kids learn by what they see and hear.If Eddie was a decent man he never would have moved his young children into this type of living arrangement that would create gossip. You can’t live as you please and think its not going to affect your children.
I think Leann Rimes looks a lot like Hilary Duff, it would be entertaining for them to do a tv movie of the week together. And Hilary Duff’s sister Haylie bears a strong resemblance to Kevin Jonas’s wife Danielle.
“bad childhood” Reasons are NOT excuses, LeAnn. Just because your childhood was a drag, you are entitled to give some other little kids a bad childhood. Those little boys, just caught up in the maelstrom of narcissism and megalomania. Sheesh.
She looks ridden hard in that first pic. Blech.
So this is Leann’s damage control? To insist that she is being bullied more than the other people who have cheated?
Well here is the problem.
Normally when these other cheaters get backlash, they LAY LOW and SHUT UP. But not Leann. She does the People mag interview to offer a fake apology, but simply because this was when her first single was coming out. This backfired, her single flopped, never making it into the top 20s. Now you would have thought that Leann would have had some indication that perhaps she should stop airing her dirty laundry. And then she does the Shape interview(in honor of her album being released in Oct, but that had to be pushed back because of the backlash), where now shows like Joy B, Wendy W, Showbiz Spy, and Huffington Post take note and also express their dislike of LR actions along with the public. Does Leann get a clue? She then does this interview, again to mark the release of her single. She just keeps insisting that it’s just a handful of people that are responsible for all of this backlash and then she wants to act surprised when her career suffers.
When will she learn? She can’t keep using the “everybody is doing it” excuse because everyone is not doing the things that she does.
So it looks like Leann is going to be spending the rest of her life trying to convince people that EC loves her and that it’s just a handful of people who are just VERY vocal who dislike.
@Betty – so you know for a fact that neither EC nor BG have made any attempts to shield their sons as much as possible from the pain of their divorce? And that the boys are tormented at school because of this divorce and the almost 2-year old relationship of EC and LR ? They are the only children at school whose parents have divorced and have other partners now ? And therefore it is OK for you all to be as cruel as you like about LR and EC as the boys have already heard it all – at ages 3 & 7? That is incredible -and your vile words may be incredibly hurtful to those boys. Is there even a tiny chance that I’m right? Then stop.
Wow….no reaction on leann’s interview?
Maybe no one watched it (I sure didn’t)or waiting for Kaiser’s review (hope she has one).
i think that LeAnn’s problem is that she is simply not accustomed to being loathed. it’s a new experience for her. she keeps chattering maybe to try to change ppl’s minds. it’s kind of sad really.
@KatScorp…Bravo, girl….you said it all & said it well!
@brin
I didn’t watch the interview because I’m sure it was a continuation of her Princess-Snow Globe-Easybake Oven- world. This bussiness of Eddie finding his true love and soul mate the day they met is propaganda. Eddie ran back to Brandi in the begining and was even having sex with Brandi 6 months after he and LeAnn committed.
Brandi is doing a tv talk show this morning and I think she’s going to set the record straight about how Eddie ran away from LeAnn as fast as he could but then returned because Brandi threw his butt out. I think Brandi is pissed about this “love at firt sight” crap because it makes her 15 year relationship and two children with Eddie look like Brandi was doing nothing more than holding his horse until Princess LeAnn arrived.
@Rita….Details on the show Brandi is on if you have them…please!
I firmly believe that Leann is a sociopath:
Def: Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others. THIS FITS LEANN TO A ‘T’!!!!!
@Brin
I understand the show is on CBS this morning and it’s call The Talk. Try googling it.
Watched the interview, thoughts: both came across as whiney liars. Would have loved for these questions to be asked:
EC: how did it feel to be sleeping with 3 women over the same period of time?
EC: why were you in marriage therapy with your wife and sleeping with LR?
LR: why were you constantly posing for the paps kissing your husband and showing your wedding ring?
EC: why did you release a statement denying the affair after the video aired?
LR: what is your definition of stalking?
LR: why are you playing the “victim”?
Both: do you know that integrity means trustworthiness and honest?
Nah, they haven’t a clue!
@ JJ:
All excellent questions. I would have loved to hear their answers. I’m sure it would have just been more lies, though.
oh my! Leann looks like Eddie’s uglier sibling. Their eye shape is exactly the same. Only media whores would think they need to have an interview about their relationship. Give up the perfect couple tour, it’s rotten and nobody cares.
@Rita…thanks mucho….I will watch, Brandi deserves to be able to tell her side!
@jj……good questions (no good answers)!
@Shelley: Nothing said on gossip sites like this would be appropriate for a 3 and 7 year old to read, whether the children in question know the people being discussesd or not. And I think I speak for most of the people here when I say that I will never censor what I say on a site like this in order to accomodate the children who have parents who are too lazy to keep their 3-7 year olds off the computer. It’s their parents’ job to parent them, it’s not my job. I’ll keep track of my kids, they can keep track of theirs.
@shelley I think the kids would be taunted more from the other kids seeing their father and girlfriend with their tongues down eachother’s throats and Leann bending over with short shorts at their soccer games over anything else. And kids do look up to celebrities, it’s a shame but they do. So I agree with Eileen.
@Shelley I bet they are the only kids living in a household where daddys girlfriend is trying to play the role of their mother and the only kids appearing in the Enquirer with said girlfriend showing PDA at one of their soccer games also being exploited on web sites.Is this the type of shielding you are speaking of. This is not about the spoken words but what these kids have been experiencing. Kids learn by what they see and hear and they have seen and heard plenty.
@icantbelievethis: You ask a good question about the hatefulness. Hatefulness says more about the person it is coming from than about the person to whom it is directed. Unresolved issues is my best guess and I am saying that from the times when it comes from me as much as I try to avoid it.
She is the Sarah Palin of country music.
People who are secure in their relationships and are at peace with who they are don’t feel the need to constantly defend or justify themselves to anyone who will listen like Leann and Eddie do. Can’t wait to hear her “I was taken advantage of” country hick sob story when he dumps her ass for a prettier, younger, and more famous face down the road.
My two cents.
Her blaming her problems and actions on a stolen childhood is BS. I distinctly remember her around the age of 15 giving an interview where she said that she did not want to be treated like a child, that she felt like an adult and wanted to be treated as such. That is when I began my dislike of her. She seemed like a real brat. What kind of person sues their own father? Although I do enjoy her music, her personality is a real turn off. As for Eddie, he’s found himself a honey hole, a young wealthy tart.
Get a life people. Pathetic.
Why do people take the time and energy to write a post just to tell other people to get a life?
If you are on this site and going so far as to tell others to get a life(despite the fact that you took the time to click on the article and then read the posts that people are posting about the article), then by that own person’s logic doesn’t that mean that she doesn’t have a life?
Leann paid Eddie to do the ABC interview by offering him a shopping spree and a job hosting a New Year’s Eve party in Cabo, just like many of us suspected. So if their love was so REAL, why does Leann have to give Eddie “rewards” in exchange for his time and affection?
