On Tuesday, Brandi Glanville tweeted something shocking: according to Brandi, Eddie Cibrian was now requesting that SHE pay child support to HIM. This news caused a kerfuffle and some people thought Brandi was lying, some thought she was telling the truth and some people just thought it was all promotion for her new book. God knows she’s been trying to engage Eddie and LeAnn in some good old fashioned Twitter-warfare for weeks and she hasn’t gotten any takers, shockingly. So, what’s new? Eddie’s rep (he has a rep?) told Us Weekly:
Eddie Cibrian has responded to ex-wife Brandi Glanville’s Twitter allegations that he asked her for child support for their two sons, Mason 10, and Jake, 6. “There is no truth to the claims that Eddie has requested child support from Brandi now, nor will he ever request child support from his ex-wife,” Cibrian’s rep told Us Weekly in a statement. “The notion is preposterous. This is yet another ploy for self-promotion.”
An “insider” also went to Radar to claim that this was all a “horrible lie” cooked up by Brandi which suspiciously “coincides with the fact that Brandi has another book out and is doing everything she can to promote it. She’s creating drama yet again!” Radar’s source also says that Eddie did serve Brandi with paperwork recently but it wasn’t about child support, it was about ALIMONY. The source says: “Eddie’s four years of paying alimony [to Brandi] are up. She received a letter from Eddie’s lawyer advising her of this. He absolutely still pays child support, just no alimony anymore.” So the judge must have put a four-year limit on the alimony, that’s interesting.
I was on the verge of taking Eddie’s side (I thought Brandi’s Twitter announcement was totally drama queen), but then I read this quote at People Mag from a “source”: “Now that Brandi is making money and is successful, Eddie is backtracking on a prior agreement they had regarding child support payments. He’s asking for money back from her, over $100,000, saying he overpaid. But he’s asking for more than he’s paid her in the first place!” Ah. That makes a bit more sense. And now I can see why Brandi is claiming what she’s claiming.
Last thing: here’s LeAnn’s response to this drama. I’m telling you, LeAnn is finally getting some good PR advice. Or maybe she just found a really good medication. I do wonder where she’s channeling her excess Twitter energy though.

Pity the poor children.
Pity the poor public.
LOL! Yes, true dat.
He is a scumbag, why doesn’t he think that he’ll be taking money from his children if he takes it from Brandi, he can’t be hurting for money married to Leann. Just write it off and start having a decent relationship with the mother of his children and start putting them first for once.
He is a total dirt bad. So funny that LeAnn is throwing it all away for this D-lister with dimples.
Because he wants the $ to be independent, he’s been looking for a way to get away from LeAnn for months. He realizes exactly how much everyone loathes them and he’s tired of dealing with her insane stalking and narcissism (partially because he’s a narcissist himself). He will stick around exactly as long as he doesn’t have his own money. And he’s furious that Brandi has the Benjamins coming in these days.
I feel so terrible for those little kids. They literally have no good parent. Neither one of those two disgusting pigs care about their children more then attention and bashing each other.
whoa! i dont like ediot either,but you are basing this on the publicity. i dont know what happens in either home, but i would guess neither have you. And now you have made me defend ediot!
@dls No but the fact of the matter is they would rather keep this feud alive to stay in the magazines instead of being quiet for the sake of those children. Not one of them have thought about their children in there quest for tabloid fame. It is gross.
That’s funny I get the feeling that Brandy loves her kids and does everything for them!
The kids have ONE parent with a work ethic.
Correction: The alimony and child support payments that LeAnn have been making. Eddie’s got to get a job before he can start paying. All 3 of the adults are ridiculous.
Well, as much as I loathe to say this, but at least LeAnn had a career based on talent….at some point. I like none of them, but two of them are riding on someone else’s coattails and that person is riding on the past.
Yeah, you’re right. She’d still have talent if she could learn to control the crazy.
Kiddo, Yep. Brandi’s hoisted herself on her own petard.
blue marie, LeAnn’s talent hasn’t gone anywhere. As far as controlling her crazy, she’s not at the Mariah Carey DEFCON 5 level yet, nor has she run through her voice to Whitney Houston Level.
If LeAnn Rimes keeps this up, she very well could rise back to the TOP. Country Fans especially love this shit. Heck, everyone likes a comeback!
@Sloane Wyatt – ya Leann still does have a good voice and industry connections… we’ll see though – I’m not holding my breath for a comeback back to her late ’90s-early ’00s level – she is a woman in her 30s now, and the country music world is pretty sexist/ageist.
But Tanya Tucker did manage it, so maybe Leann can too.
Didn’t he stop alimony in 2012?
To be fair, they also said he didn’t cheat on Brandi for the longest time.
I’m deleting my reply because I totally misunderstood what you were saying and went off on a rant about how you don’t get points for waiting. Going to get that second cup of coffee.
Missed the rant! Hahah, enjoy your coffee- I’m on day 4 of a migraine so I had to re-read my post to make sure I’m at least being somewhat coherent 🙂
Oh, poor you. Migraines are the worst – feel better.
Yes, the alimony did stop at the end of 2012.
LeAnn must be about to explode from showing all this restraint. I can’t stand her, but I have to say, she’s finally gotten smart about not engaging.
Most likely she is using one of her “other ” twitter accounts to let out the rage.
Has she ever mentioned alimony? I must have missed that? Brandi has ranted & raved since she found an audience and she’s getting alimony? Good grief…. Between the 3 of them, they don’t have one viable brain cell.
LR finally got the message about restraint of pen and tongue. Now, if only Brandi could do the same.
Truth! However, as much as I don’t like her LeAnne’s career and fame was based on her work, her singing and talent. Brandi can’t shut up because she is pointless and if she is quiet and goes away then she won’t have a “career.”
Megan, you are exactly right. Brandi’s super power has been to enrage and engage Leann. If Leann doesn’t engage, then Brandi is rendered impotent.
Yep. Silly fools in their silly lives. At least LR has stopped throwing it all out there in our faces. Go to rehab Brandi and close your mouth.
She had no cell service between Miami and Nassau – I don’t think it’s restraint so much as it was just her being in the dark in this scenario.
How convenient for her to lose cell service after she cancelled another concert and was getting called out on Twitter for her lies. But of course she made it to the Bahamas w/no problems.
she isnt restraining from anything, she’s just using her other accounts like Irene Sybill, among others. I dont know all of them but IS is def. LR and her camp.
She desperately needs to sign with a label and they’ve all told her she needs to clean up her image, so she uses other accounts to harass. Plus, no cell service where she is (read: third vacation). The label she talked to told her to go home and put some work together, so she gave her leftovers to a homeless guy, tweeted it, and then took off on another vacation after canceling a concert and putting it off until August.
Oh, well my universe can go back to normal then. I thought it was too good to be true.
I thought maybe because of their “reality show” also-I figured those producers told her to zip it. Whatever the cause-good move.
If she’s still in the Bahamas on vacay, there’s zero internet connection there. So I don’t think it’s restraint per se.
that is a ridiculous statement. Who says there’s ‘no internet’ in the Bahamas?!? I’ve spent plenty of time there, and believe me, the ‘internets’ still find a way to make themselves available in the Bahamas – 4 star hotels somehow manage to find a way to stay plugged in, offering free wifi to guests (could be urban legend though)
Hahahahaha. “Zero internet connection in the Bahamas.” That’s funny.
There’s definitely internet connection in the Bahamas .Just not reliable connection between Miami and there. She probably couldn’t tweet. She tweeted while in tweehab, I’m sure that if LeLe could have tweeted, she would have.
Brandi lying? How utterly shocking! She certainly has a huge case of attentionwhoreitis.
Except the final part was that Brandi wasn’t lying – Eddie was indeed asking her to pay 100k
@ Bridget
Unless, of course, the source talking to People about the 100K is Brandi and more of her distortion of the truth.
(You can tell from the way the source was complaining that is wasn’t Leann or Eddie that spoke to People.)
@ Cora, based on your logic, then can the Radar source be trusted either? Since the “source” there likely came from Rimes camps? All of them can’t be trusted
@Eliza – of course Brandi is lying it is all she ever does. Well that and get drunk and make racist statements.
@ Miss Moody I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Brandi or some friend of hers was the “source” to people. It was way to whiny and its a total back track from what she initially said which is her MO. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the Radar story was someone from LeAnne’s camp, if not LeAnne herself.
I dont think much of BG anymore but she wasnt lying, he is asking for his support back plus some, basically the same thing.
I just wonder how this conversation went down with the kids considering they’re probably well aware of LR’s wealth and their dad’s lifestyle.
This is not asking her for child support, which is what she originally claimed on Twitter. She could have said exactly what the situation was and she would have gotten just as much sympathy though, so I wonder if she was just paraphrasing. This is exactly why I wouldn’t broadcast these things on social media, it opens all parties up to criticism.
If I were her I would not want child support from him at all. At this point the children seem to be well cared for at both homes, and they have 50/50 custody.
Megan, as a biracial woman I take offence to throwing the term racist around. You also throw liar and drunk into the mix as well. Brandi isn’t defined by any of those words. Just like LeLe isn’t just a home wrecker and failed child star. Saying something stupid doesn’t make a person a racist. Drinking doesn’t make someone a drunk and having someone deny what you’ve said doesn’t make you a liar. We get it, you hate Brandi. At a level that seems unhealthy. By the way, nice touch spelling LeLe’s name wrong. That really cements your asserting that you aren’t a fan.
+1000000 Excellent post Michelle.
One thing is for certain: Leann and Eddie really know what buttons to push to make Brandi lose it.
This is true. The question is, WHY do they want to push her buttons? Happy people ride off into the sunset and don’t stress others. Brandi is trapped due to having 2 kids with Eddie, but Dean- who seems truly happy- has completely moved on, unlike his ex, whose only goal in life is to try to finish the job she thought she’d already done on Brandi. No matter what screw-ups Brandi’s done, she doesn’t deserve this Groundhog Day Leann and Eddie keep shoving on her.
they sure do and they love every minute of it. Its the only thing holding their relationship together. If LR and Ediot didnt have BG to attack they wouldnt know what to do with themselves. Like I said, dont think much of BG at all any more but I cant help but have empathy for her going thru crap like this and being constantly taunted by these two. They would drive me to drink too. Doesnt make up for all the things that kind of disgust me about BG but I still do feel for her having to deal with these two nut jobs.
Your post pretty much sums it up. BG does some stupid ass things but at the end of the day I feel for her because she has to deal with Ed and Loonie.
Let’s be honest–Brandi is a mess. They could push any button…or just look at a button…and Brandi would lose it.
+1
+2
1) Brandi is a mess. We all know that.
BUT
2) Eddie is not so nice and has a reputation for being very, very manipulative. And Leann has always very clearly enjoyed getting a reaction out of Brandi. There’s been a pattern of that part for years, and there are a few topics that they know for sure will get a reaction from Glanville: the kids safety and money.
+10000 Sorry but Brandi is not a victim of LeAnne and Eddie at this point. What they did was wrong and horrible but she made a career out of it. And frankly she is constantly trying to keep this silly feud going and in the headlines. It took her lying about child support to get attention from Eddie. I also love how this comes at the tail end of the public turning on her because of her lies and behavior. Lets play the victim single mom card.
I don’t think she’s a victim – after all, she always has a choice not to take the bait. But I am also acknowledging that Eddie probably was specifically trying to get a reaction. He is so gross.
If Brandi was stable, they would not be able to push her buttons at all.
+ 1. Grow a set Brandi and stop feeding their fire. Living well truly is the best revenge. She’s got friends and a family to support her – STFU already about your ex.
We don’t know all that Brandi goes through in this life that EC and LeAss have pushed her into. How would you like seeing your two children, who are your whole world, leaving to go live with a looneybin for a ‘bonus’ mom and a man who can’t keep his whatsit in his pants, both of these two having the morals of alley cats. And then having said looney and her minions harassing Brandi constantly? Believe me, she has held it together better than I would have!
See, I disagree there. Haven’t you ever had someone that just got under your skin? You especially see it a lot in divorce proceedings. Far better people then Brandi Glanville allow themselves to be baited into a reaction.
And she seems stable, just unable to shut her mouth. I think she’s kind of an idiot, but it’s not like she’s Brooke Mueller or anything.
Yup. I’ve had that person under my skin – it takes a terrific restraint not to respond to her (my husbands ex wife). I won the battle and gained my step daughters respect and affection by keeping my mouth shut. It is hard. Super hard. But the results prove it. Now, For sure, my friends were prolly pretty darn tied of hearing about her LOL!
Not only are these douchelords off on their third vacation THIS YEAR, and not only are they demanding money from the woman whose life they destroyed, but Eddie is drinking a beer while driving the motorcycle. You can see it in his hand.
It’s actually their fourth vacation, they rented a Luxury RV and went camping in the desert as well.
The photo is photoshopped.
Eddie’s hat was the one he wore surfing. This picture was probably taken in Hawaii. Seems to be a Hawaiian name on the sweatshirt also. Why no mention of the birthday party on the boat in Puerto Rico – saving for the show?
They’re at Nassau Pier. She even says they’re in the Bahamas.
Good grief. Her life isn’t destroyed – she’s doing better financially than ever and her “career” is hot with book deals evidently left and right. She got cheated on and divorced. It happens. It does hurt. By all account a at least Eddie is an engaging and careful father. live a good life and you have a good life. I think her problem is that she has nothing to do career-wise if she stops playing with her ex and his wife. She’s smart enough to know that it seems. I just like to see women represented better.
He may be good to his kids, but I can’t call any man that doesn’t teach his sons to respect and value women a ”good dad”.
And I do agree that a divorce didn’t ruin Brandi’s life. It sucks, and its even worse not being able to see your kids every day, but it doesn’t have to be thr defining event in someone’s life.
LR is definitely engaging…just not on her regular twitter act. I had one the other day arguing that Brandi should have the kids DNA tested to make sure they were Eddie’s and she should be stripped of custody completely
O-M-G! This is so low. So mean. But why doesn’t it say that Eddie should be the one asking for the DNA test?
Go to JSJ Live 365 podcast. Seems like Leann called CPS on Brandi…….Her & eddiot are both a POS!!
She said that he was asking her for alimony payments and he isn’t so yeah she’s a liar and immature and manipulative. As far as him asking for payments back I have no idea what the truth is and neither side is trustworthy.
Those poor kids.
She said he was asking for child support, not alimony. Which he is.
Her twitter said child support, and so has every subsequent report. Eddie’s rep, the same guy who denied the affair with Leann, threw the alimony claim out there even though Brandi herself said it stopped in 2012, just to draw attention away from the negative publicity, especially since he’s once again on vacation.
+ 1
Who knows what the heck is the truth ????
I believe her. He has asked her to pay child support back before. Kinda ruthless because he chooses not to get a job because he gets an implied “salary” from his wife so he doesnt have to get a job. Brandi wants to buy a house for her kids so they dont have to rent and move every couple years. Eddie doesnt care if his kids live in a shack when they are with her apparently because he’s trying to take her $100k nest egg. Sorry Brandi, that guy is a douche. Go for full custody
Yes exactly. This seems to be all about control. That’s really sick and very sad. People like Cruddie do this sort of thing because in their own minds they feel completely justified by their actions and see this as something they are owed. She needs to challenge the custody agreement so he doesn’t have the right to do this anymore, she still has 14 years left.
What’s a little bit funny is that Brandi says they were “ghetto rich” living off eddies earnings paycheck to paycheck. It’s what small time actors do I guess. She was fine with that evidently. Now she’s not.
Actually I found her comments on their martial assets very interesting. They never actually managed their own money when they were together. His parents did and then told them how much they could spend and when Eddie needed to work more.
Now I am not an expert at financing or marriage, but once took a personal financial planing class in school and I remember that professor opened with this. “The biggest down fall in most marriages is money. ” Now he was in the middle of a divorce so maybe he was a bit bitter but he had a good point. When you start building a life together you start having to have some very serious non-sexy discussions about money. If you take the serious topic and discussion out of the marriage the kids from the cartoon “Love Is” had a more serious relationship than Eddie and B. She is not unlike many women (and men) who give up their financial responsibilities when they get married and just assume the other wouldn’t ever leave them high and dry. IMO and how I read the book is that she didn’t really understand the multitude of financial issues they had until she finally looked at the bills.
Relli- my comment was less about how much money they had and more about the manner in which he earned it. Maybe Brandi isn’t the one screaming “get a job” to Eddie – maybe her fans are misquoting her – but if she was okay with the intermittent work then, and she didn’t feel the need to go get a job herself, while he was often “unemployed” that seems hypocritical.
@Seen – I totally get what you are saying!
But my point was that they weren’t having these conversations about work and money like normal married people do. When you are married (or cohabiting) and one of you needs to bring in more money you should be able to determine that based on your joint accounts, same goes for if you decide one of you is going to quit and stay home or make a big purchase. Eddie is spoiled little princess whose mommy and daddy took care of him and his family for years so he never had to worry his pretty little head and everything kept getting paid. B’s family also contributed to their lifestyle with cars and boats, so even without steady income they had things and cash on hand but no real assets or investments as their other cars were leased and their house rented. And when the cash ran low his mom would tell B that she needed to encourage Cruddie to work, so generally speaking I don’t think he has much of a go-getter attitude .
Some people read B’s book for the salacious details I read as a huge cautionary tale as to what can happen when you don’t take charge of your own life and rely and trust someone else to do it for you. I already knew that but you know never hurts to hear it again!
Relli – i know someone who does this. She hands her entire paycheck over to hubby to take care of the financials. He gives her an allowance to spend on ‘fun’ things for herself. i doubt she’s seen a bill in the 15yrs they’ve been together.
She claims to be completely unaware of how much they are jointly worth. He makes all the financial decisions and if she needs anything extra she has to ask him for the cash. Any big ticket items,he simply tells her what budget to work with. i honestly didn’t think i’d ever know people who lived like this and it makes me shudder just thinking about it.
Relli, the part about the finances is what jumped out to me as well. I got the impression he is a spoiled man-child, in part because he (allegedly) let his mother handle his / their finances.
I really don’t know how Brandi handles her own finances now, but I would not be surprised if her ex is clueless about handling money responsibly.
He’s just asking for a refund for what he considers overpayment. He’s done it to her before.
On how Eddie told her that same day he was cutting child support
“I get an e-mail from Eddie saying not only am I halving what I’m giving you, but you have to pay me back the money I overpaid you for the last six months. And this was as he went to Cabo with the 5-carat rock on her hand.”
http://www.celebitchy.com/134374/eddie_cibrian_cut_child_support_the_same_time_he_bought_85k_ring_for_leann_rime/
What makes me angry, is that he’s just hurting the kids at the end of the day. He’s trying to take money from their mother when she doesn’t have someone paying everything like he does. It’s just gross. Whether you like Brandi or not, Eddie is the mastermind douche here.
You know Leanne bought that ring.
On a side note why would she agree to that clause?
She was probably desperate for money at the time of her divorce, and felt roped into agreeing to it. But those are the cards she was dealt. She knows that at any time he can come back and try to reclaim the child support that he gave her. If I were her I would smarten up, expect it every year, and move on with my life. What else can she do, really?
Oh, I know, take it to twitter. That’ll solve everything.
If it’s actually an overpayment – meaning he paid too much – I don’t know that she should be upset about that. She likely knew it was an overpayment – and the smart thing would have been to refuse it or set it aside. I don’t think she was in dire enough straights to accept money she shouldn’t have (if she knew it was an overpayment)) , eg the kids are hungry or need clothes. She is getting cosmetic procedures, etc and so clearly she’s doing just fine. Could be she’s just an idiot (in the true sense of the word) and can’t compute the figures.
It is a vicious cycle. He hurt her. She trashes him. He is less than generous. She trashes him more. Twitter will not solve it for her.
I don’t see how BG would have known there were over-payments since she doesn’t have details of EC’s income & the payments were probably in installments, not just one big check of $100k.
Being asked to give back $100k is a major hit to most people’s finances. But apparently it wasn’t a major hit to EC’s since he waited until the sum reached ~$100k to ask for it back.
If your support order says $4000/ mo and you receive $6000/mo – that’s an overpayment. You always know when someone has paid you too much. Now if he’s claiming he didn’t make as much as he was stated to, and the courts calculations are incorrect, that’s another matter. Much the same as a delinquent parent can make small payments towards the delinquency, perhaps she can make payments back to him via reduced support for a period of time. Who knows what happened ? He isnt saying and she’s a little loose with the truth.
If as per your example, he’s been paying $6k/month when it was supposed to be $4k/month until the over-payment amount reached ~$100k, then that’s SEVERAL years of over-payment ($2k/month incrementally), & unless he’s really that ignorant of his own finances, I doubt that this was the probable case.
“Now if he’s claiming he didn’t make as much as he was stated to, and the courts calculations are incorrect, that’s another matter. ”
This would happen if it was he himself who gave an earlier income report to the courts & didn’t amend it during the period(s) he earned less. The court doesn’t on its own make up its own guess when it comes to EC’s income. That’s on EC & any documents provided. I think this situation is more likely than the former example of what might have happened regarding the over-payment claim.
If the latter is the case, then why did EC wait so long & until the over-payment amount reach $100k? That’s a lot of money to pay back & a big shocker. Did he wait until he knew the amount would be so big that it would hurt BG?
People hate Leann so much that they are are not looking at the facts. Leann is not legally responsible for paying contributing financially towards Eddie’s kids even if she chooses to pay for 12 vacations a year. The courts look at how much parent each parent make in considering child support. I would assume Brandi had some unreported income that is making repayment child support being an issue. Also even if Brandi’s life was ruined Eddie’s only financial obligation was only whatever the alimony she was awarded by court. I would like to see the truth come out on this one. Neither party is probably being completely honest.
And then on the other foot, people hate Brandi so much that they assume that everything out of her mouth is a lie.
If half of what she said was a lie, Leann would have slapped lawsuits down on her. She’s huge on suing people. Her dentist, the woman she approached on twitter, etc.
Erinn, this article really doesn’t have anything to do with Leanne….
People think Brandi’s lying because she’s been caught telling fibs and distorting the truth so many times. I used to be a huge Brandi fan, but her inability to be truthful is one of the things that put me off.
@Sam: I agree with you. This is about Brandi and Cibrian. How many times have we heard that “Leann is not the boys’ parent. They already have a mother.” Yet, when it comes to the financial responsibility of the boys, people start talking about Leann’s money. This is between Brandi and Cibrian.
I dont think most ppl expect LR to pay for them, its more about Ediot hiding his income to get out of paying his. From what Ive read everything is in LR’s name and they have a “production Co’ they are also running things thru. He’s def. working the system but that may all back fire if her lawyer does a little digging. I also found this piece of info on another site so while LR’s income may not come into play but their lifestyle will. heres bit I c/p from GR..
California Family Code § 4057.5
The income of the obligor parent’s subsequent spouse or nonmarital partner shall not be considered when determining or modifying child support, except in an extraordinary case. 4057.5(a)(1)
An extraordinary case may include a parent who voluntarily or intentionally quits work or reduces income, or who intentionally remains unemployed or underemployed and relies on a subsequent spouse’s income. 4057.5(b)
He’s asking for an overpayment of child support which is more than what he’s paid over the last 4 years. Something like $100K. She wasn’t lying. If you read her book, she clearly stated that ALIMONY ended in 2012. If you read her TWITTER, she stated it was CHILD SUPPORT.
I wonder if that Family Law clause Annie B found in the last thread could be applied to this overpayment nonsense?
It’s not like he has any bills.
How does this “overpayment” crap work anyway? Can he demand money from her anytime? Because he’s done this before. Where is the limit?
Eddie does this to get a reaction out of Brandi. He is scum. He knew when he was paying the child support that he wasn’t working. I think he purposely waits for it to grow to a large amount, then request it back to set her back financially. That is so low. This probably payback from her mentioning him and Leann in her new book, which I do think she needs to stop talking about them.
I think you may be right about him waiting until the amount got so big that it would shock & hurt her.
If the reason for such a large over-payment was due to incremental increases in the over-payment until it reached $100k, then he had the time & resources to amend his child support claim when the amount was much smaller if this is the case. It would also mean that he must have known for quite a long time what was happening.
There was a hilarious take on this story yesterday on d-listed, where Ed is said to be a contender for “platinum level gold diggers”. There is also a reference about how he probably makes big bucks from 3 Deep (his “finest artistic achievement”).
I read an article the other day that actually referred to him as ” former Sunset Beach Star.” AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA a show that was on like over 10 years ago for a few seasons, thats like Lohan levels of reaching.
sunset beach was huge in the UK when it was on. Personally, that’s the first time i learnt of Ediot. Many people in UK will remember him from that show and nothing else. i don’t think any of his other shows crossed the pond.
That is why yesterday I stated he made a modification claim but people were questioning what I said. I don’t like know of them fools. The kids on the other hand is definitely the ones in this cross-fire.
The proper term is retroactive modification child support.
That’s all I’m saying regarding this matter.
All three of those adults need to get their crap in order. Period!
You called it and I thought something similar might have been true too. All 3 of them are hurting their children by putting this out in the media, they only care about headlines it seems.
Eddie is just a asshole what type of man demands that the mother of his children pay him back the child support the kids and Brandi were entitled to in the first place. If Eddie and Leann were not strap for cash Eddie wouldn”t need to do this I think Eddie purposely over paid his child supports because he knew Brandi would have to pay him back more money . I think Eddie is pure evil and that he loves to torment Brandi I think its easy for people to say to Brandi to shut up and get over it already we don’t know half the stuff that Brandi goes throught with Eddie and Leann . Brandi was telling the truth Eddie does want back payments for her he taking money from his kids that Brandi earned and want to spend her money on a home from herself and boys . Brandi is not everyone cup of tea but no one deserves to be treated the way Eddie has treated her a real man would have just told to keep the money and put in a trust for the boys.
You think Eddie deliberately overpaid her only so that he could demand it back ? Why? Brandi benefits in the press from this coming out. It only makes Eddie look like a dick. More of a dick.
EC already doesn’t have great press anyways. And why would he be above asking for $100k from Brandi? A lot of the public already thinks he married LR just for the money anyways & is still sticking around because of the money. He has expensive tastes. Even while he was still with BG, he was living the high-life though in huge debt.
I doubt EC has any remorse about trying to get BG to give him $100k, even though they both have joint custody & he’s (allegedly) kept by a Sugar Mama.
well for all those that think she is lying, she just posted pics of the letters from her lawyers on her twitter. Not sure how long they’ll be up but he is in fact going for “alleged” overpayment of child support to the tune of $114,738.00 from 2010 to 12.31.13.
In other words…the loser blew all of his allowance on his side pieces and gambling..LOL
I also think she should have at least blanked out her address on there but maybe its an old one.
I really do hope BG kept records of everything. You can tell LR & CO. are in over drive trying to spin this in EC’s favor by the latest article of ROL, which is completely irrelevant to this but still there and getting ppl riled up.
I saw two letters: one was a letter to Brandi from a lawyer offering his services and outlining his fees and the other was the bottom part of a letter from someone (presumably Eddie’s attorney) to Brandi’s attorney asking how they wanted to proceed with a QRDO which was left over from their marriage (a QDRO splits the retirement plan of a spouse after a divorce). Was it just these two letters that were posted? Did I miss another one?
If you notice, the letter about the QDRO (with the CS overpayment estimate of $114,738) distinctly says they are asking Brandi if she agrees with Eddie’s figures and if not can she provide the figures that she thinks are accurate.
If Brandi disagrees with Eddie’s numbers she can submit hers instead. This appears to be just lawyer back and forth stuff. It wasn’t threatening. It also makes no sense that a lawyer handling a QDRO would be asking for the reimbursement of child support payments. That is out of the scope of his expertise.
This doesn’t sound like a child support modification, it sounds like negotiations over how to split Eddie’s retirement plan, which must not have been taken care of at the time of the divorce. Maybe I’m missing something?
TMZ is now saying that the support mentioned in the letter is spousal support that he overpaid and that she can pay him back via their retirement fund. I think she just got caught in a lie.
Yep, it appears she was caught in a lie. Saw the report on TMZ too. I knew when I saw the QDRO part this wasn’t about child support.
@someone: good job.
Maybe Brandi wasn’t lying? Maybe she’s just really dumb. Or maybe she’s a dumb liar. Surely, she has an attorney who can explain things in a way she can understand. Those poor kids. Their parents are idiots.
She probably read the letter, didn’t completely understand it (or did understand it but was relying on a specific share of the QDRO which EC doesn’t want to give her), and panicked.
Happens a lot in divorce cases.
Kind of funny that they were in the Bahamas & NO pap picts?? Picture is Photoshop & I call BS on everything she says!!!!
One thing I’ll say for Brandi is that she had Eddie while he was still attractive and working. LeAnn gets an aging, paunchy looking mooch, who is literally trying to torture his ex, to punish her. What woman in her right mind would want him now, even just for sex? If he’s treating the Mom of his boys like this, imagine how he’ll treat LeLe when their doomed union eventually crumbles.
Exactly!!!
I just can’t with these people. Now Brandi has posted the paperwork on Twitter? Come on woman.
The only way this is actually enforceable is if a judge signs off on it. They have a child support agreement. Eddie can’t just send her a letter making demands that actually obligates her to pay him. They have a legal agreement. If a judge signs off on this, then for whatever reason Eddie overpaid. My best guess for why would be an inaccurate report of income for one of them. If he didn’t report his income correctly then I’m 95% sure that he would have to eat that so I’m guessing it is something else. Regardless, call your lawyer woman, not your Twitter followers. If there are no legal grounds to pay this then say so- to the judge!

Aw, so this is it. Not child support at all and attorneys hired by both to figure out their disagreement, the letter to both. It’s about alimony or spousal support and the retirement plan. She says child support. They say spousal support. I have no clue. I haven’t read everything.

Jayna, check out the PDF of the whole letter. It is not nor ever was about Eddie suing her for child support. This was about a long standing issue dividing Eddie’ retirement account. How Brandi could receive this letter as written and then go on twitter and blast Eddie for asking her to pay him child support is amazing. How did she make that jump?
My computer is acting up. It won’t open the document. That’s why I couldn’t say 100 percent without reading it. But it finally opened it.
Brandi was aware of this, trying to determine if there was overpayment, so she can’t claim that she was mistaken that it was child support and not spousal support, as this had been ongoing and was well aware of the disagreement between her and Eddie. This didn’t come out of nowhere. Plus she can see it comes from retirement monies and not him making her hand over cash money to her as she wants eveyrone to believe.. I mean, the letter clearly states both of them mutually agreed to hire this lawyer back in 2010 to straighten out their disagreement on monies. It’s Eddie’s figures, not verified by this attorney, and she has to submit her figures is what he is saying. This isn’t final anyway as her figures may prove differently. But it was an attorney they both pay for.
Then she clams up and whines she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore and wants to focus on her book. She is the one that brings it up and now wants it to go away. LOL Just be honest about it all instead of thinking you can throw something out there insinuating something else for maximum sympathy, which it’s misleading. It’s not like Eddie ever comes out smelling like a rose anyway, but this just makes Brandi look bad in her own way. It’s just drama by Brandi because she is disliked by so many fans of Bravo anymore and is trying to go back to the wronged wife for sympathy card. I say that because this letter was the 31st of January. Yesterday was the 19th of February. She threw it out there for sympathy when the posters were bashing her Bravo blog and the Monday show. She has to get back that sympathy and sell those books.
She can twist things when she wants to. All you have to do is look at the latest episode of the Housewives of Beverly Hills and see her twist what Lisa said about a couple pieces of jewelry. She took an innocent remark and made into something it wasn’t.
TMZ just update this with a statement from BG’s lawyer basically saying that the lawyer making that statement isnt Ediot’s rep for the child support and there are child support payments involved in the equation. You would not know that by the one letter, not sure why BG posted the one when all it states was about the lawyer fees. this is getting so confusing b/c I dont doubt for a minute LR is spinning this to make her out bad and BG is probably spinning to make it seem more like the CD when its probably a combo. of things.
LR? Dear God, she has an asshole ex- husband, in case you forgot, who is not some benevolent ex-husband, who would never do this, but who is only doing this for LeAnn. LOL It amazes me sometimes the people fixated on LeAnn. Eddie is a cheap bastard, who is not enamored of his ex-wife who has been bashing him again in her book and in the press.
Brandi tweeted a little while ago she wishes Eddie would leave her alone, not LeAnn leave her alone.

At first, they were becoming friends again, but Eddie will use and abuse anyone to get what he wants, and is now back to charming Leann to see how that flies. He made Brandi think things were going okay, then stabbed her in the back and she’s been staying quiet for the kids’ sakes. He is going after her money to get her to pay him back because he says he overpaid. How do you overpay for your kids? No, Leann isn’t responsible for them, though she pushes herself into every possible aspect that’s inappropriate, but if you’re refusing to work and living in a mansion and going on vacations all the time, you shouldn’t ask the mother of your kids for money back. Again.
If I was dealing with a sociopath who was the father of my kids and was making it my life’s goal to ruin me, and said sociopath was married to another sociopath with a lot of money and a celebrity name and these two had control over my kids periodically, I’d be a basketcase. Whatever dumb things Brandi says at times, she doesn’t deserve the crap she has to deal with on an endless basis. These two should just live their lives, have Eddie co-parent, and leave Brandi be, but it’s too much fun for them to twist the knife constantly.
They truly are both sociopaths too. I just hope the karma train hurries the F up and runs MeAnn and Ediot over before they can inflict more damage. Thank God all this on the WEB for the boys to read in all its HIDEOUS detail for themselves someday. They’ll love their mother even more for what she went through. Believe me they’ll forgive her crazy mouth it’s a small thing compared to what their father and this evil B have done.
I agree with you, but I think the endless fighting is wearing on Brandi. It must be exhausting to have these two sociopaths focused on ruining her life simply because she was in the way of what they wanted and then she didn’t lay down and die like they wanted her to. Not only is it their life’s goal to destroy her and they work every angle they can, but Eddie is able to control aspects of the boys’ lives and he lets Leann interfere when he wants to hurt Brandi and Leann jumps at the chance. And then she thought there was a truce and things were improving and she probably thought, with relief, that Leann would be gone and things would get better and instead they were planning new ways to twist the knife. I wish the karma train would speed up, because a person can only take so much. 🙁
Agree! It did seem to get better there for a while, if only Brandi could’ve held on !!!! She had so much PR/sympathy/LA heavy hitters/fans/publishing gurus on her side and for the longest time that was her best weapon against the evil that is EdAnn. But you nailed it perfectly word for word. IMO at the end of the day…Brandi is not in the “entertainment business” as an entertainer as it were….Ed and Ugly are. And those two DO HAVE much much more to lose opportunity wise every. single. time. bad press like this hits the world. They’re only hurting themselves in the end…making themselves even less attractive as talent for projects. *fingers crossed* I mean Brandi does stuff but she’s not a singer not an actress never was doesn’t want to be unlike the two NPD cases she’d dealing with. They must not realize they’ve gotten less work with time not more.
You nailed it. Eddie is complete narcissist who is still, after 5 years, helping his second wife swf, stalk and harass his ex. All because she had the courage to kick him out! After he cheated on her their entire marriage and gave her HPV and left her deeply in debt.
This man is a sociopath, totally disgusting and amoral. And all of you L.R. stans and P.R. people on here saying he is a caring father, just shut up and learn. Go back and read all of Kaiser’s many posts on here about Eddie and Leann’s use of the boys as props for their paparazzi shots, and tweeting all the boys personal information to the world. You’ll see plenty of stories and photos where Eddie and Leann ignore the boys completely while the boys are surrounded by papps, crossing busy streets without holding the kid’s hands or even looking at them. Or you can read about the different times the boys went to the E.R. with stitches, or rode bikes without helmets on a busy street, or had their arms forced into a waving pose at a film premeir to fake happiness or were poisoned from Leann’s laxatives. No one ever called Brandi. She had to find out about all of this when Leann laughed about it on Twitter. Or how about in the beginning of the divorce and separation, Eddie paid no child support and refused to get jobs because he was so angry at Brandi and wanted her to suffer, and he and Leann sent Brandi many Cease and Desist orders and threatened to sue her for telling the truth about their harassment of her.
Eddie Cibrian is a terrible dead beat dad and he sold his children out for tabloid pictures and some quick cash.
Are you the Jennifer that is Brandi’s bestie?
Are you the Jane that is MeAnn’s alter ego?
I’m not. I have never met a single person connected with any of this.
I think you’re thinking of Jezi, who posts on here sometimes. She’s a close friend of Brandi’s. I do not know any celebrities. I just feel for Brandi as a fellow parent.
I do too, I feel for her a whole bunch. I have two boys of the same age and can’t imagine…sorry for the sarcasm.
My kids are close in age to hers as well. She should be enjoying raising them and not dealing with these two bullies.
Blah blah blah I just want to know how there are two suns in the Bahama’s?
It’s funny how holier than thou so many are when it comes to this circus. Stating how a woman who’s ex screws her at every turn should act and calling her a low life liar and whatever, when Eddie has been proven a liar far more than she’s ever been. LeAnn helped Eddie punish the Mother of his kid’s with her money for years. She’s got second wife syndrome and he’s angry that his first wife threw him out. Brandi is guilty of shooting off her mouth, but the serious misogyny directed toward her from other women is sick. I’m sure that all those telling her how to behave when being treated horribly, are perfect people who have never said or done anything wrong. It’s refreshing to know there are so many perfect people out there.
Cheers to this! and I love the “second wife syndrome” LOL too funny!
“… money that Eddie over-paid…” Eddie doesn’t pay a dime, he can’t because he was barely working for years, no one can stand working with him and he was fired from CSI Miami as a slightly bigger character than an extra because no one could stand working with him. He gets his money from Falkor, she pays his way, Falkor even pays for his side tricks whether she knows it or not. Eddie still carouses for waitresses when he can get a few minutes away from Falkor. Why do you think they are always going on vacations, so Falkor can keep an eye on him. Brandie has to hustle to make a buck because she was barely more than a bit actress herself. She’s better off now than if she was just getting money from Eddie based on his income alone because that would be around $900 a month for both boys and no spousal support. She’s at least clever about getting money out of the mess being married to Eddie caused. It is all pretty ugly though.
repostingbefore another big THE LAW nonsense starts:
California Family Code § 4057.5
The income of the obligor parent’s subsequent spouse or nonmarital partner shall not be considered when determining or modifying child support, except in an extraordinary case. 4057.5(a)(1)
An extraordinary case may include a parent who voluntarily or intentionally quits work or reduces income, or who intentionally remains unemployed or underemployed and relies on a subsequent spouse’s income. 4057.5(b)
i do hope Brandi’s crew knows about this. If the child support can be reconfigured retroactively then this passage could also be applied retroactively, I think.
Eddie should have to prove that 1) he was truly trying to get work and not just going through the motions. 2) that he has no other forms of income like letting LeAnne pimp his kids out to the paps.
Can’t they subpoena the paps or something? We know she calls them. Any income from that should be counted as his, ESPECIALLY since his kids were included in the pics.
And any pics of the kids on Leanne’s pay-to-see site. Does she still have that?
If I were in this situation, I would leave no stone unturned (regardless if it runs up the legal bill now). I think it’s expected she will agree quickly instead of paying more legal fees to dig into this.
I don’t believe anything Eddie’s rep says,, he denied the leann affair multiple times and that was completely true all along.
