Did LeAnn Rimes publicly shame her 11-year-old stepson in an interview?

wenn21933235

Yesterday, I covered some highlights from LeAnn Rimes’ lengthy Daily Mail interview – go here to read. As I always do when I’m covering a longer interview, I skimmed the piece for what I thought would be the most interesting and noteworthy quotes. As such, I skipped over some stuff LeAnn said about being a child performer and a bunch of stuff about her dad. Those quotes didn’t really interest me, but buried in that section was a comment that has become a “thing.” LeAnn referenced her recording contract at a young age, and made the comparison to what she was doing at a young age and what her stepsons are doing at the same age. Here’s the relevant section:

My mum and dad were not meant to be together. They got divorced when I was 14. I was sad but I was also fine; there was so much going on with my career that there wasn’t a lot of time to talk about it. But they instilled great values in me. I attribute my work ethic to my dad. He taught me to show up on time and know what I was doing. I have a great reputation in this business because of that. Most people don’t come back from things like my dad and I went through [the court case]. We didn’t speak for three and a half years. But now we are close. Eddie and I take his kids to visit my dad in Nashville.

I was super-driven as a kid. Even though I was on the road a lot, the teachers would give me homework and I would get it all done. I look at my 11-year-old stepson Mason, and I’m like, ‘I signed a record deal when I was your age. You’re still fumbling with tying your shoelaces.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Some of you claim that LeAnn has been tweeting about this controversy, but I can’t find those tweets on her official Twitter – go here to see. Some sites claim LeAnn was trying to publicly “shame” her stepson (Bonus Boy), and I guess I can sort of see that. Just to defend LeAnn for a second – in the scope of her conversation with the Mail, she talked a little bit about how screwed up she was because of her child stardom, so it’s possible she’s also looking at her stepsons and thinking about how great it is that they get to enjoy relatively normal childhoods. Or, you know, the worst is also possible. That she publicly shamed her stepson. My takeaway: she needs to stop referencing her stepsons in interviews and she needs to get them off of her social media entirely. Those are not her children to reference, you know?

    Yes. And if she believes he struggles with that then why not help and teach him how to do it instead of bringing it up in her interview?! When is she going to realise that comments like that make her look bad and maybe, I don’t know, reflect on her own behaviour?!

    • liab23 says:

      preach it mon!!!!

      amen

    • betty says:

      Leann will tell any lie to get attention. They have a father that has part time custody. What is he teaching them , he doesn’t work but if he allowed his meal ticket to insult his kid he is worthless as a father and a man.

    • Bar says:

      Ms. Rimes was on Twitter yesterday asserting that her words were taken “out of context” and that her words were edited. She emphasizes her points with #cantcontrolthewriter. She also claims that although she tweeted the link to the article that she had not read it prior to doing so. She further explains that she simply was comparing her lost childhood to Mason’s childhood.

      The paragraph in question starts with ” I was super-driven as a kid.” That is her subject, not a lost childhood She speaks of her homework and her ability to complete it. She says she signed a record deal while Mason is “fumbling” with his shoelaces. She is clearly talking about her advanced success as a child, not about her lost childhood. Ms Rimes can say it on Twitter today as many times as she likes, but it will not make it true. She is now taking her words “out of context.”

      Ms. Rimes was silent on this issue almost for the entire day before her denials began, even though she was tweeting. She was silent until the controversy hit the tabloids, then she started blaming the writer.

      This entire discussion can be put to rest by the writer, Elaine Lipworth. It would be interesting to hear her take on this. I would like to know if this interview was done in person, over the phone, or if the answers to the interview questions submitted by email. Ms. Rimes recently tweeted she had answered some interview questions via email and the timing of this articles release does make it a candidate for that email.
      Ms Rimes needs to take responsibility for this article.

    Leann has no concept of
    ‘perception vs reality’ It’s like she’s completely unaware how saying certain things can be taken the wrong way. She only believe in her ‘truth’ and the rest of us are just idiots who don’t agree with her. Regardless of how it was meant, her past actions will always make people assume she’s going using any comments with a backhanded critique to Brandi and her sons.
    She needs to keep Mason and Jake’s names out of her mouth when giving interviews. They didn’t sign up to be her props and don’t deserve to be used as fodder (good or bad) for her persona. They are NOT her children.

    with this being said, I stand behind my twitter comments that ‘if some dumb whore said this about my child, she’d be writing an album about my foot lodged up her ass’

    • claire says:

      I don’t give her any benefit of the doubt because it’s her interview schtick.
      In most interviews, she puts down others to compliment herself. This time she used Brandi and Eddie’s son for that, other times it’s been other singers, her record label, the country music industry, Brandi, her ex-husband, “bio”-moms.

      She should just stop using them. She uses them on her professional website, she plasters her Instagram with them. They’re not her kids and when their actual parents aren’t exposing them this much, it looks pretty freaking weird for the stepmom to be doing it. Especially since one of the parents has asked her to stop.

      • Julie says:

        @Claire, YES! Every single word you wrote is absolutely exactly the way I feel also. This bitch makes my blood boil.

      • Jadzia says:

        If I never hear the term “bio” mom again, it will be too soon. My son’s father and stepmother apparently encourage him to call me that, and I still get a little weepy when I think about the first time he said it to my face. It makes me feel like a rent-a-womb.

  3. SolitaryAngel says:

    Those poor, poor boys. I am speechless over her delusions and shocked at the cruelty shown towards an innocent CHILD whose life she gleefully helped destroy.

  4. drea says:

    She just needs to shut up

  5. bammer says:

    Well the Mother talks about the kids wetting the bed. So I don’t think what LeAnn said was all that bad. I feel like she’s saying she was pushed and not allowed to be a normal kid. She’s totally nuts but I don’t think she was shaming him.

    • OrangeBlohan says:

      Their mother can discuss whatever she wishes pertaining to the boys, they are her children that she carried and gave birth to. Leann should stop discussing those boys. They are not her children. She’s completely vile.

      • Msmlnp says:

        I really don’t think the mom should be talking about the boys either. These boys are innocent and don’t deserve anyone blabbing about bed wetting and fumbling with anything. They should be given a degree of privacy and respect from all the adults in their lives, which is clearly not happening.

      • Emily C. says:

        No, a mother cannot say whatever she wants about her children. They are their own people, not her property. Brandi is as bad as Leann, and I hope these poor kids have someone in their lives who treats them with respect, because none of their parental figures do.

      • Moore says:

        She gave birth to them but she doesn’t own them. The boys have a right to privacy.

    • Miffy says:

      This. Poor kids, if their mom isn’t calling one of them a “little a-hole” or whatever expletive, their stepmother is criticising them like this. Do they ever get a break?

      • Karma says:

        There have been numerous examples of famous parents and comedians calling their kids a-holes before and after Brandi did. It’s a well used running joke among parents.

        There is no ill will intended. Brandi isn’t trying to make herself look better at the expense of her son. Which LeAnn is attempting to do.

        LeAnn was saying that she’s so competent at shooting a gun, driving a truck, signing a contract, supporting her family as kid, and so smart and driven that she finished her school work, extra fast, that she looks at Mason fumbling with his shoelaces and notes he’s none of those things that she is.

        There is a huge difference in those two statements. And it should be noted that when Brandi said that on her podcast, Ed had JUST taught his son to sing that song “Problem” at LeAnn, when they both sang it at her. And then the son pulled the same trick on his mom when they were with her later in the same week.

        Brandi called him out on that behavior and joked about her son’s actions. While LeAnn foolishly tweeted about it, like it wasn’t a disrespectful joke leveled at her by Ed, and taught to Brandi’s son.

      • Miffy says:

        Karma, Brandi isn’t even close to being a comedienne. The comments she made calling one son an asshole were made whilst comparing him to his brother who she describes as “her sweetheart”. That’s horrendous, whether made in jest or not. Someone needs to start respecting these kids privacy because at the moment they’re being trashed by both sides in an attempt to make a parent look driven or funny. Its not on.

      • Karma says:

        Miffy,

        Where did I say Brandi was a comedienne? I was referencing both famous people and professional comedians because it’s a joke that is floated often by people in the entertainment industry… because it’s also floated at home. Comedians joke about common denominators, and not esoteric ideas, to get laughs. While famous people share such stories to prove they are dealing with normal issues, just like the rest of us.

        And yes, Brandi made the comparison between the two kids, because no two kids in a family are alike. And, believe it or not, the kids also know that they are different in nature than their siblings. This isn’t a new concept either. 😉

        However, Brandi also referenced the inspiration to that discussion, Jake singing the “Problem” song at her. A disrespectful little trick he learned from his father Ed, when they sang it at LeAnn earlier in the week.

        LeAnn laughed, apparently not understanding the joke was on her, but Brandi called Jake out immediately on the disrespect. Yes, she laughed later, when discussing the moment with her podcast boss on air. Which parents do when sharing their kids’ antics. Frankly, I can’t think of one parent who hasn’t had this exactly this type of discussion with me.

        And, again, none of this was done to try and make Brandi look better, like LeAnn’s comments were intended to do.

        Anyway, that song’s lyrics are ‘I have one less problem without you….”

        That’s what’s truly disrespectful in the whole situation… for a kid to say that to his mom. Jake was being an a-hole… taught to him by another a-hole, Ed.

        To this day, I don’t know if Brandi was aware where Jake had learned his disrespectful trick, but here’s the tweet that proves where it originated from. And at least, Brandi is trying to correct Ed’s bad example.

    • anne_000 says:

      There’s no excuse for LeAnn publicly saying that her stepson is too stupid to tie his shoelaces.
      That’s not her prerogative.

  6. Jaderu says:

    Sign record deal at 11 = self absorbed, plastic, twitter addict that keeps lying to herself.

    Stick with fumbling with the shoelaces Mason. You still have a fighting chance.

  7. sonia says:

    They are NOT her kids. Might want to edit 🙂

  8. Red32 says:

    I think she was definitely shaming him because by 11, most kids are tying their own shoelaces.

    • get it together says:

      I agree that she was definitely shaming. I think she was exaggerating about him not being to tie her own shoelaces, but for sure she was saying that she had accomplished more by the time she was his age. (i.e. “the teachers would give me homework and I would get it all done.”) She’s saying “I’m sooooo great and soooo smart that not only did I have a record deal, but I did AAAAAALL my homework too.” Ugh. She makes me ill.

      • Anony says:

        To me it implied that the boy is stupid. As a mom, my gut reaction was to feel offended. Never say such a thing about a child publicly! It could hurt his self esteem

  9. GingerCrunch says:

    These poor, long-suffering boys….. 🙁

  10. mollie says:

    Yes, she tweeted about how she was “taken out of context”, that she was “disappointed in the way that it read”, and that she “can’t control the writer”….however she said all that AFTER she retweeted and shared the interview of which she was originally quite proud.
    Always somebody else’s fault. She has refused to comprehend that the way she handles this stuff is what people despise about her. Such a lame person.

  11. RN says:

    Kaiser, I think your last sentence should read, “those AREN’T her children to reference”, correct?

    Having her own children with Ediot seems to be an even more horrifying proposition, yet that’s clearly the only way she’ll leave these two boys alone. No one wins in this mess.

  12. Kiddo says:

    Clearly, you all missed the finer points of Leann’s superiority and suffering. You focused on the kid, when that was not her intention. You didn’t notice how much she has done!

    • Jaderu says:

      She’s the AnnE of our generation.
      Wait. AnnE is the AnnE of our generation.
      What generation is this?
      What day is this? Do I know you?

      • Kiddo says:

        JaderuE, it’s clear you’ve been through a lot and have done so for the benefit of others on this forum. Please share with us your sacrificEs.

      • Jaderu says:

        FINALLY! Someone sees what I go through on a daily basis for you all! I thought my painful journey was in vain.
        I ate only potatoes for the entire Amalooney Wedding Spectacular™ weekend so that I could be waifish and belted out “Macarthur Park” at their reception with a sorrow and delicate tragic edge that hasn’t been seen since…well…since Les Miserables or the premiere of Threes Company.

      • Kiddo says:

        Someone left the freakin CAKE out in the rain! Call Aniston at once. *Tears streaming down my facE*

      • funcakes says:

        Well you’ll never get that recipe again! Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Christin says:

      Maybe she could work with him all day, every day, to help him be the greatest shoelace tying child ever! Just like her parents worked with her for years to make her a child yodeling sensation!

    • Tiffany :) says:

      She’s just wondering why everyone doesn’t peak at 11 years old. Must be lonely to live that life.

  13. RobN says:

    It pains me to defend her, even a little, but I think it was more about reflecting on the differences between how they grew up than shaming him over anything. Even if she’s a horrible influence on them, she is clearly fond of the boys, and I actually doubt she’d be interested in putting him down to the media.

    When somebody has such a history of negativity, I think it’s easy to always see the insult in what they say, but I think this was more reflective than anything else.

    • anne_000 says:

      Saying that an 11 year old is too stupid to tie his shoelaces is a negative insult.

    • FingerBinger says:

      I kind of agree with you ,but she could have said ‘I look at my 11-year-old stepson Mason, and I’m like, I signed a record deal when I was your age and you’re carefree and playing video games.’ Not “You’re still fumbling with tying your shoelaces.’” That comment makes her sound like a jerk.

      • Byte Me says:

        She’s the queen of passive aggressive comments.

      • vavavoom says:

        I’m thinking she sounds like a jerk because she is a jerk. Even if she changed it to what you suggested, she still thinks what she said.

        Just like Reese ‘do you know who I am’ Witherspoon. That entitled twit is still her, but she was too drunk to keep her hidden.

      • Jezi says:

        This ^

        Or her not mention him at all. These are not her kids so she could of just said I see kids who get to have carefree childhoods when I was signing record deals.

    • why? says:

      That’s just it. “Fumbling to tie your shoes” isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when reflecting on the differences in how one generation grows up compared to how another generation grows. She could have said many things, but she picked “fumbling to tie his shoes”. Why? Leann isn’t fond of Mason and Jake, she just uses them to keep herself relevant and to taunt Brandi.

      People see the insults because Leann is insulting people. Leann tweets she supports love and humanity and then spends her night tweeting to people who harass Brandi. Last month, Leann invited 2 of her fans who harass Brandi to LA to have a playdate with Mason and Jake and their kids.

      • jenn12 says:

        Please tell me you’re joking, but I know you’re not. As though she has some right to these kids.

    • Karma says:

      Truly, no disrespect, but I think both you and Kaiser are being generous.

      She’s done it before with Mason. With the flood of other stuff she’s done the exact circumstance escapes me. But this isn’t the first time Mason has been talked about like this by her.

      Maybe someone else will remember it but the fact she has to bash someone within every interview she gives… also points to this being a negative reference. Rather than a positive comparison of Mason just being a kid, while her childhood was signed away.

      And since, miraculously, she didn’t bash other country music singers, or the unnamed Brandi bash, it landed on Mason.

    • Pandy says:

      I agree with you, RobN. I think she was just comparing her childhood with his and just using the shoe tying as a metaphor. I’m sure Mason can tie his shoes – she just meant she was a commodity at that time and he’s still able to fumble around as a child.

      • betty says:

        Because her parents pimp her out at an early age has nothing to do with Mason. Look how she turned out. A selfish, insecure woman. Out side of singing she has little intelligence. as we all can see. No wonder he dislikes her because he is not too stupid to figure her out.

  14. Christin says:

    It took her well over 24 hours to do it, but I saw the tweet where she claims it was taken out of context. It was a reply to someone else who questioned her comment.

    Next, she will claim to be completely misquoted. Because her story is always changing, folks.

    Kids in fifth or sixth grade can be ruthless enough, as she claims to know firsthand. She does need to lock down any and all references to his boys.

    • claire says:

      And now that she also never read the interview before she sent it out to her fans. Riiiiight. That thing sounded like a paid advertisement, it was very long and there’s no way she didn’t read it. She’s just saying that now because of the backlash.

  15. mollie says:

    Simple fact, had she said “I look at kids today and think….” it would have been just fine. Still snarky and obnoxious, but fine. She actually has no comprehension of how throwing his name in there would be perceived. She did it, approved it, and then BOOM, she’s going to blame everyone else in the world for it.
    The entire interview was a deluded mess. I laughed out loud at the part where she paints the picture that there are paps EVERYWHERE! Right, Leann, only the ones you call ahead of time.

    • briargal says:

      I snickered at the part where she discusses where she got her work ethic from–her daddy!?! Show up on time and know what you are doing! Seems to me she did not learn that life/career lesson very well.

      • Byte Me says:

        No she didn’t learn that lesson and I had to laugh at her comment that she says she’s got a great reputation in this business. Um, no you don’t Leann.

  16. embee says:

    She shouldn’t be using these kids for everything she does. Pictures all the time while she’s hanging on to them looks ridiculous. Needs to stop mentioning the terms “bonus mom” and “bonus kids”. Not every 11 year old can tie shoe perfect or has started their singing career. Does she realize all but her few fans are laughing at her every day?

    • Byte Me says:

      How can she miss it, she lives on twitter, even when she’s on vacations,,,,like right now she’s still defending herself against total strangers when she should be enjoying the time she’s spending with her “soul mate”

  17. SnarkGirl says:

    I don’t think she has enough awareness of other people to actually shame them. I think she threw the kid under the proverbial bus as nothing more than a way to boost her own ego. The fact that what she said was out of line and probably very hurtful to the boy never once pinged on her radar.

  18. Haolebunny says:

    She just needs to zip it where the kids are concerned. Photos too. It’s sick the way she uses them. I feel so bad for those boys.

    • chaine says:

      Cringing at the pix where she has her claws possessively around his shoulder/neck. He is NOT YOUR KID, Leeanne!

      • briargal says:

        Probably just a little reminder to him that he had better smile for the paps or Daddy doesn’t get his money for this little outing!

  19. Size Does Matter says:

    Leann the narcissist will always need to be the most talented, hardest working, long suffering person in the room. Poor kid didn’t ask for any of this.

    • Lady D says:

      I can’t stand people like that. No matter what you say, they have done it bigger, better, longer, harder, faster, further, etc. etc. etc. I find them exhausting after a while, so I avoid them. Must be why falcor has to pay everyone who hangs with her.

      • claire says:

        Their tooth pain is worse than Stage IV cancer…
        They have a bond no one else does with their husband…
        They’re one of the few child stars to have an adult career…
        They’re the only true authentic country singer in the business…
        Her job is harder than those who work 8-5, 40 hours a week…

      • Christin says:

        Her recent tweet reply that challenged someone to try HER job versus a 40-hour per week work schedule floored me at first.

        Then I realized how truly taxing it must be to supervise multiple maids and a paid babysitter/assistant as they handle the little things so you can travel two or three times a month to sing approximately 50 minutes. But the most draining task has to be keeping track of a certain wandering man-child 24/7 AND manage all-day tweeting on who knows how many accounts.

        I am exhausted thinking about it.

      • funcakes says:

        I saw that too. But if I had to keep track of Eddie, his jumpoffs, Brandi and the detectives she must employ to follow everyone I would think I worked too.

  20. Murphy says:

    In no way shape or form am I Team Lianne but Brandy has publicly shamed her sons too.

    • OrangeBlohan says:

      Key words there “her sons”. She can discuss whatever she wants concerning “her sons”. Leanna should shut her piehole!

    • jenn12 says:

      Brandi doesn’t always come off well, but she jokes about her kids’ behavior and differences. People comment about Jake being so little and cute and she reminds them that both boys are. People just joke about their kids all the time; I jokingly apologize to my older kid’s teachers, saying that the hurricane is coming in a few years, etc. Leann basically said she sees herself as a genius prodigy who couldn’t be compared to anyone else and that her stepson can barely tie his shoes. She was insulting him. No 2 ways about it.

  21. original kay says:

    When I was 13, my step mother hand painted a sign and nailed it to the back of the bathroom door. it said “even a 2 year old can hang up a towel”
    I guess I didn’t hang up my towels.

    so yeah, I think she is being pretty fricking nasty, to say that about a child. I am projecting, of course, but it’s a mean, nasty thing to say about him. Par for the course though.

    • jenn12 says:

      That’s not projecting. That’s relating. You get it because you had a bitch stepmother, just like Jake and Mason.

  22. Jess says:

    She always puts other people down and builds herself up, she’s always the victim no matter what, it’s sickening. This makes me hate Eddie that much more for allowing this vile woman into their lives just so he doesn’t have to work. LeAnn uses those boys to hurt Brandi and get exposure, it’s not normal for a step mother to post ten times as much about the kids like she does, it’s really weird actually.

  23. Mzizkrizten says:

    I don’t join in on the Leanna hate but that was a tasteless and simply mean thing to say. Nothing but an insult. And I hope Brandi had a chat with her. Posting insta pics of her step sons is fine in my opinion but publicly or even privately bashing a child Bc they can’t tie their shoes is flat out bull shit. Oh no she didn’t!

  24. NeNe says:

    What I’m Thankful for:

    That I’m not as crazy and delusional as she is!! She desperately needs some help ASAP!!! It’s not sad. It’s just pretty darn scary at this point.

  25. anne_000 says:

    Mason is usually the one who doesn’t smile in the pap photos when he’s with LR, EC, and Jake.

    I’ve always wondered if she doesn’t like him for not playing her game.

    Also, was it this kid who accidentally took her laxatives thinking it was candy?

  26. Penelope says:

    She’s nasty, mean, and obnoxious. Those poor boys, having to tolerate this vile woman so Dad can have his toys.

  27. Puravidacostarica says:

    I truly don’t think LeAnn meant it as “look what an idiot he is!” I think she meant it as “see how much smarter, more accomplished and better I was when I was his age!” Either way, she is obnoxious and narcissistic as hell.

    • Christin says:

      That’s how I interpret it as well. It’s an ego boosting competitive remark, and it sounds petty and rude in any context.

      Now she is going down the ‘poor me, I had no real childhood’ pity path. Going on singing gigs for a few years as a teen to earn millions probably won’t garner much sympathy.

  28. why? says:

    Here’s the problem with giving Leann the benefit of the doubt. If she was really going with the angle of children getting to enjoy their childhood, why of all things would she pick an 11 year old fumbling to tie their shoes?

    Here are the tweets Leann made today and yesterday about the incident, in some of them she blames the interviewer and in others she claims that she didn’t read the article before she retweeted it:

    @WildAngel92 @TAngel84 @Bonnie_Milton at least add the questions! Yes, good idea! Editing someone’s answer can change everything

    @asu_juliette Far from it! In any interview I’ve ever done I’ve expressed how I appreciate children getting to be children because I never had that kind of childhood

    @TAngel84 @Bonnie_Milton you can be misquoted and twisted and edited. It happens all the time

    @TAngel84 @Bonnie_Milton that’s a risk you take with every interview.

    @crooke @TooBadSoooSad @BrandiGFansAUS shame on you for believing everything you read. It was out of context

    @kllorenz @jetsetfam I didn’t read it til after.

    @Jette_dk no, I did not.

    @jetsetfam it was taken out of context and I was incredibly disappointed in how it read. #cantcontrolthewriter

    @vibalacy never

    @BellaHellsen oh no not at all!

    @BellaHellsen beyond measure

    @BellaHellsen I’m seriously having to bite my tongue on this one. #outofcontext

  29. TW says:

    My take is she was referencing her abnormal life vs her stepson’s more normal life. Nevertheless, it would be best for all celebs to not reference the kids, who get embarrassed more easily than adults. Side note to families whose kids may at times struggle with fine motor skills… My son is 18 and still takes 5 mins to tie laces. He also has a verified 152 IQ, charming personality, and pretty girls keep showing up at my door asking if he’s home… so not to worry or be embarrassed by!

    Sometimes I feel guilty about enjoying these threads so much because I barely knew who this person was before I started reading CB. And I now I never miss a Leann thread because the comments are hysterical. So, I’m not gonna criticize her specifically here. But I will say that it was not her place to reference the kids at all in an interview, intended shade or not. It’s bad enough when parents publicly embarrass their own kids, but step-parents (which I had on both sides) need to step off. Even at 11, kids see step-parents as temporary – they’ve already learned early in life that marriages don’t last – and don’t have to learn to forgive you for hurtful comments the way they do with parents.

  31. Vampi says:

    She brings up comtext here in the comments. She’s awful! Love how some twitterers called her out! http://mobile.twitter.com/leannrimes/status/537277813473030144?p=v

    • jenn12 says:

      Who’s that woman making excuses for her? She’s saying that Leann’s comments are meant to show how different M’s childhood is than Leann’s. Wouldn’t that be better illustrated by saying he gets to watch video games and be with friends or not have pressure on him to support his family (which is also Leann insulting her parents again, however passively)? It is the not same as saying he’s unable to tie his laces at 11. She must be one of those fans who makes excuses for the photos of Leann and Liz making out and Leann taking her clothes off on the balcony with all the kids inside and Eddie taking pictures of it, or who finds an excuse for the picture of Leann grabbing Eddie’s privates in front of the kids.

  32. Cake says:

    I have never witnessed such a public unraveling of a “celebitchy. ” I don’t think she realizes how ridiculous she is. She Should Be About HER music, but it seems as if the only thing she is interested in is excessively talking about her relationship. She seems to be obsessed with the ex, and she isn’t ashamed of people knowing it. She parrots everything the ex does- even down to the Web store. Brandi posts FU shirts…LR follows with Elfie ya’ll -shirts! Wow!

    It’s also ironic how Brandi is more successful. LR thought she would take her family, destroy her life, and make her go away; instead, Brandi has created a successful brand, while LR continues to fail.

    Brandi has the midas touch. Leanne is the opposite. ..Instead of gold everything she touches turns to s***

    She acts as if she’s happy, but her jealousy is eating her up from the inside out and everyone but her fans sees it.

  33. Leslie says:

    Yes!!! But don’t y’all know, it’s NOT LeAnn’s fault. It’s the writer’s fault. Wait…didn’t LeAnn write that piece herself and send it to the Daily Mail? The Daily Mail person added touches to make it sound like a real live interview. The shoelace comment was intended to bash the “bio” mother and make the “bonus” mother look good. Oops. That backfired big time.

  34. Emily C. says:

    She is definitely shaming him. It’s the way she says it; she tells him how incapable he is while holding up her oh so-superior achievements. My dad used to pull this kind of thing all the time against me until his second wife told him to knock it off.

  35. Ruyana says:

    Every time MeAnn says ANYTHING someone in the area should shout loud enough for her to hear it:

    “Who left the bag of idiots open?!”

  36. Jewel says:

    Another day, another pathetic attempt to get attention and hurt Brandi. She’s just an awful step monster. Those kids will grow up hating her.

  37. Queen says:

    Kaiser you have to click on “read replies” on Leann’s twitter and you will see that she said her quotes were taken out of context. I am not a Leanna fan but I think its unfair how people always criticize her but Brandi has said far worsr things about her kids.

    • briargal says:

      Again the operative words in your statement are “her kids” not LeakAnn’s! And besides this whole article is about LeakAnn–but we always hear “But Brandi…..”

      • Emily C. says:

        It is worse coming from one’s own parent. I know from experience. When Brandi does this kind of thing, it is NOT okay at all. Eddie has a type of woman he likes to marry, and it’s a nasty, self-involved, selfish one. Makes sense, since that’s what he is too.

      • Karma says:

        No, it’s actually worse from a step parent.

        Being embarrassed by your parents is to be expected, it’s their right. Jokes and commercials are built on that exact premise. Those jokes and commercials aren’t built around a step parent doing it, because it’s a jerk move and not funny.

    • littlestar says:

      Brandi is their MOM, she is allowed to talk about them. Leann is has no legal rights when it comes to those kids, so she should just shut her mouth about them. That said, Brandi should also stop talking about her kids. Those poor boys have no privacy because of those two. And Eddie needs to grow a backbone.

    • Jezi says:

      Brandi jokes about they’re behavior. She would never imply that they’re stupid or incompetent. I say all the time my son acts like an asshole because he’s 7, argues everything, throws tantrums, acts spoiled and thinks he’s entitled to everything. All kids that age seem to behave in this manner. However, I would never make fun of him for being unable to tie his laces.

    • jenn12 says:

      Brandi has a gallows sense of humor. Lots of people do, which is why “You Have To F–ing Eat” is a huge hit along with “Go the F— to Sleep”. My husband and I often joke we have a librarian and a stripper and hope that one kid doesn’t end up on a beach in St Tropez, screaming, “But no one else has a shirt on!” Leann was mocking her stepson and making fun of him. She was comparing him to her at that age, insisting she was this amazing prodigy and he “can barely tie his shoes”. It’s a different spirit than Brandi joking about her kids’ behavior.

  38. why? says:

    The worst part of this incident are all the lies Leann is telling. First it was taken out of context, then she was misquoted and the writer left out parts of the interview, and finally she didn’t read the article before she retweeted it. What’s next? She wasn’t even at Nobu when this interview took place in September/October? I don’t think this is a recent interview because the interviewer said that Leann was in shorts and sometime in September/October Leann was tweeting that she was doing the interview circuit.

    “Fumbling to tie his shoelaces”. How can this be taken out of context, misquoted, or incomplete? Either Mason knows how to tie his shoes and Leann lied or Mason struggles to tie his shoes and Leann just exposed it to the world. There are many reasons why an 11 year old would struggle with tying their shoes…motor skill development, autism, or dysexia. Leann opened up a can of worms. She doesn’t care. She just goes right on retweeting interviews where she talks about Mason and Jake. She did an exclusive interview with Billboard and in it she practically says that she did “I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” to taunt Brandi. She didn’t use the word taunt, but she did say that Jake loves the song so she did it for selfish reasons.

    If Leann was so disappointed in The Dailymail article for misquoting her, why didn’t she remove or delete the article from her twitter timeline? Go back to her timeline. It’s still there. That is the true measure of how much Leann loves Mason and Jake.

    Leann thinks she can completely absolve herself by saying that she didn’t read the article before she retweeted it. We know that she reads these articles before she retweets them. Yesterday Leann posted a review of her album. Before she even retweeted the review, she wrote a response to something the person had written in the review. Why lie about not reading the articles when even her own timeline contradicts her?

    Speaking of Jake and Mason, Leann also has a blog on her Taylor Swift inspired 1982 fan website. She posted 2 blogs, one for Halloween and another one for Christmas. In the Halloween one she talks about going to Jake’s Halloween class party. If Leann truly loved Mason and Jake, she would stop talking about them. If Eddie truly loved Mason and Jake, he would make Leann stop talking about his kids. But how would Eddie, Lizzy, and his parents get all those vacations without pimping out Jake and Mason?

    • Queen says:

      You are so obsessed with Leann. You always write these long essays on every single post about Leann or Brandi. It’s beyond creepy. You need a life…

      • briargal says:

        You could always just skip over this person’s comments if you think they are “creepy”. “Why” always brings up some interesting points. Keep on posting, Why!

        @Queen

        You are so obsessed with anyone who doesn’t write nice things about Leann. Beyond creepy is how YOU keep changing your name to complain about my long posts or about anyone else who doesn’t like Leann. What was the last name you used to complain about my long posts? It was BEEP! You need a life!

        At least I know that Leann was here reading!

      • Deanne says:

        It’s not creepy. It’s interesting and insightful. Ironically two things LeAnn is not.

      • Karma says:

        I appreciate the comments here. Everyone, including, Why, points out interesting angles than others might have missed.

        Celebitchy and it’s posters referencing LeAnn’s past deeds caught me up on the drama that had been brewing before I was interested.

        And thanks to Why, I just learned about the two blogs LeAnn wrote, which I wasn’t aware of.

        Thanks, Why!

      • jenn12 says:

        Well, if Leann has a right to do what she wants (not really, since they’re not her kids), so does Why.

      • Bobbiesue says:

        That was rude! It could easily be argued we all need to “get a life.” Surely the the astrophysicists and philanthropists of the world are not here commenting on Leann Rimes as we all are. I, for one, find why?’s comments truly insightful. Perhaps you should siteth upon your throne now and tend to your subjects your majesty.

    • briargal says:

      Another reason for the “fumbling to tie his shoelaces” could be what I saw my 12 year old nephew doing the other day. He was trying to tie his shoes, watch TV and answer his Dad all at the same time. When they are not focused on one thing (common for youngsters and some adults too), they may fumble and take their time.

      But it really wouldn’t surprise me that it was all just a lie to make her look like a superior, intelligent, wonderful, talented, beautiful super talent all at the age of 11. She still acts like a very immature 15 year old so she hasn’t learned anything!!!

      And of course she read the article—she reads EVERY SINGLE WORD PRINTED ABOUT HER!!!
      And of course she lies when she says she doesn’t! Like I’ve said before, every time her mouth opens, a lie falls out!

      • Lady D says:

        She read that article 3-4 times in the first hour she had the copy, and then read it 10 more times that same day. She was probably thrilled right out of her little mind by that article. No way she didn’t read it. That article was the wriggling fly attracting the creepy, smug narcissist.

    • Zooyork says:

      I always love reading your comments, Why.
      And you are right, I also think that commenter is Kiki/Leann trying to put you down- which means you really get to her which is awesome.
      Leann lies so much and I think she’s a sociopath, so I”m thankful that there is someone like you who is very intelligent, have an amazing memory and investigative instict to prevent Leann from getting away with all her manipulations.

      • Queen says:

        oh my god i cant stop laughing. I hate both Leann and Brandi. I just think this feud is silly and both sides are way too obsessed. I am not Leann but believe what u can.

      • Jezi says:

        Yet you’re here commenting!

      • why? says:

        @Queen

        Says the person who keeps changing his/her name just to write post after post telling other posters that they are way too obsessed or need to get a life. One week I’m your target and then the next week you go after someone else. When the posts telling us that we are way too obsessed and need to get a life don’t work, you start excessively reporting us. Then when that doesn’t do the trick, you go to other sites and use our names. If you think that both sides are way too obsessed and that the feud is silly why do you keep coming back ? If you hate both Leann and Brandi why are you defending Leann?

      • briargal says:

        @Why—If I remember correctly the “get a life” and “obsessed” comments are ones LR makes all the time. Also the reporting of commenters and then using other commenters names. ALL are LR tactics!!!

        SHE is the one who is “obsessed” (with Brandi) and needs to “get a real life” without twitter, social media and the constant SWFing of Brandi!!

  39. funcakes says:

    Leann is on a romantic vacation with a husband who doesnt hate her arguing with twitter haters she never see about an article were her words were taken out of context. Okay.

  40. Deanne says:

    One thing about shoe laces. When I was little, I learned to tie my shoes at age four, because most of my shoes actually had laces. A lot of kid’s shoes are slip on or velcroe now, so they don’t even have to face laces until much later on. That being said in defence of Mason, LeAnn is always bragging by putting others down in order to elevate herself and reinforce her belief that she’s a super acheiver prodigy. Whether it be her husband’s son or other recording artists, she’s always superior and she’ll tell you exactly how and why. It’s all BS and the majority know it, hence her string of recent failures and perpetual place on most hated lists. Her claims of having a work ethic are a joke noting her history of frequent illnesses, cancellations and bi-weekly vacations. She’s now throwing blame at the writer, for an interview clearly approved by her PR. There is literally nothing that she says or does that she is willing to take ownership of and admit SHE made a mistake and apologize. It’s always someone else’s fault, no matter what. She’s really an all around horrible person.

    • Cris says:

      Kind of funny, but I was trying to lace up my Bean boots the other day and was having a helluva time with it. It occurs to be now that most of what I wear are slip on and zip ups, after a long summer of sandals. I’m 57, and apparently a bit out of practice. Don’t judge!

  41. bored_01 says:

    I don’t think she intended so much as to shame them as to brag about herself, but the end result is the same. She should stop talking publicly about the kids.

  42. Michele says:

    Dumb bishes say dumb bish things. These boys will look back on her and really hate her.

  43. Cake says:

    The article was clearly a huge rebuttal of what has been said about her. She tried to cover ALL of the bases: From being happily married to being “professional. ” B**** please.

  44. why? says:

    Leann is on a romantic vacation with her soulmate and she is going nuts on instagram posting photos and videos. That’s not surprising because RHOBH airs tonight. Leann is going to bombard her instagram and twitter account with photos so that The Dailymail can write a fluffpiece about her vacation with Eddie to try to one up RHOBH.

    This is interesting. In one of the threads I said that Leann never wears the products that she sells. Now she is on instagram posting photos of herself wearing the white elfie hoodie.

    The best thing about her instagram photos? Leann lied, it’s not just her and Eddie in Montana. In one of the photos there was a red jeep parked outside, in another of the photos you can see a black car, and in another photo you can see the reflection of that same black car.

    • claire says:

      It’s unheard of for her and Eddie to spend any vacation time alone together – not even their honeymoon. But in her defense on this one…it’s Thanksgiving. People usually spend Thanksgiving with their friends and family.

      • why? says:

        Leann tweeted yesterday and the day before that it was just her and Eddie going to Montana, she made it out to be a romantic trip that just included her and Eddie…obviously she was lying since she has been tweeting and posting photos all day and there are cars parked outside of their cabin.

        Leann Rimes: @ANITANORCONOW heading to montana just Eddie and me. Our parents are on a cruise together & babies are w/ mom

        Leann Rimes: Packing for a Thanksgiving getaway w/ my honey #ThanksgivingWeek It’s the calm before the storm #RockefellerCenter & #OneChristmas tour 😊🎄

      • funcakes says:

        No way is Eddie spending alone time with her. He needs a decoy or else he will have to spend every second of her hanging off his neck or horse laughing in his face. Especially when she has people around. They have to go back and tell their friends how happy they are. Or worse she might expect sex from Eddie. Nobody wants that.

      • Zooyork says:

        Rofl Funcakes!!!!! “Horse laughing in his face”; “Or worse she might expect sex from Eddie. Nobody wants that”
        ROFL!!!!!

      • claire says:

        @why: Oh, I see. She probably meant without the kids. And only stated that to get people to ask her about the kids. I saw she made a bunch of later comments about how she was upset about not having them. But yeah, there’s no way they would ever be alone.

    • Karma says:

      And that puppy she’s cuddling with isn’t her dog. So clearly someone else is there with the dog.

      Never alone with Ed! And never without her phone!

    • Puravidacostarica says:

      You called it! Daily Mail out with an article using all her Instagram photos….Eddie looks like a prisoner of war in the selfie with LeAnn.

  45. Cindy says:

    Ugh. She is such a wretched beast. HOW is she so unaware of the public’s perception of her? I don’t know how she meant that statement but at this point I think it’s safe to assume the worst.

  46. LovesGossip says:

    I wonder if LeAnn’s alleged therapist knows about her SWF ‘ing/obsession with Brandi and what he or she thinks?

  47. Debi says:

    Did anyone see her white xmas video she posted on Instagram? It starts out pleasant enough (snow falling, her singing white xmas in the background) then boom she appears out of nowhere making some freaky looking face. She even managed to ruin that with her narcism.

    Heres a link https://twitter.com/leannrimes/status/537344617700945920

  48. Cris says:

    I think ahe is trying to say what an amazingly gifted child she was along with her Dad’s attention, and poor Mason’s Mom can’t even teach him to tie his own shoelaces. Apparently Ediot can’t either. She forgot Mason has two parents.

    • Christin says:

      Here is the excerpt from the DM article (which is mostly HER quotes):

      “I was super-driven as a kid. Even though I was on the road a lot, the teachers would give me homework and I would get it all done. I look at my 11-year-old stepson Mason, and I’m like, ‘I signed a record deal when I was your age. You’re still fumbling with tying your shoelaces.’

      I always say: ‘smart, pretty…unpopular’, because girls can be really jealous. I was terrified of school and I was bullied. When I was 11, a girl brought a knife to school and wrote me a note saying she was going to hurt me with it. Girls can be really mean, even now. It is sad that we can’t encourage each other. I think a lot of girls get intimidated by other people’s success.

      Success wasn’t all fun and games. It was amazing – and it was exhausting. It was hard to have the pressure of thinking: ‘I have a temperature of 104 and I’m vomiting and I still have to go on stage. If I have to cancel, who am I disappointing?’ I was such a little warrior.”

      • Vampi says:

        Temp of 104??? Hahahaha! She is soooo lying!! You can barely get out of bed at 102!!! 104 is “admitted to the hospital” temp. I know from having a temp that high! OMG this lying trick…..SMH!

      • jenn12 says:

        “I was so amazing and brilliant and driven and people recognized at an early age how exceptional I was. Never mind that I’ve been famous for canceling shows on a whim for years or that I can barely spell or that someone had to tell me what a reflection was. I am superior and awesome and Mason is some pathetic fool like his bio mom, but he will soon realize how relevant I am.” Jesus, take the wheel.

  49. why? says:

    Leann is on a romantic vacation with her soulmate and she is still posting photos to instagram. We must have upset her with all the talk about how she and Eddie are not alone in Montana because she just posted a screenshot of the bowling scoreboard with an “E” and “L” to prove to us all that it’s just her and Eddie in Montana. Even though there are cars outside of their cabin and Leann is cuddling with a dog that someone said doesn’t even belong to her, she and Eddie are “ALONE” in Montana!

    • Puravidacostarica says:

      Rock Creek Ranch in Montana (notice the R/C) logo on the bar in the Eddie humping a horse photo) has a bowling alley and scoreboard identical to LeAnn’s scoreboard photo. Kiki is with them…they are just going to elaborate lengths to hide it.

  50. msw says:

    I used to post little things about work on Facebook sometimes. Nothing bad or private, but comments like “long day, glad to be home” or “I’m happy I have tomorrow off” got twisted into crap like “I hate my job” and all the good stuff I posted was ignored by those people. It was stupid, and annoying. So I quit posting about work. And it stopped. LeAnn just can’t help herself. She should have shut up years ago, and she just can’t.

  51. Zooyork says:

    Eddie looks like sh-te!!!! He looks like a villian butler from the game Clue!

  52. FLORC says:

    This goes 3 ways.
    1. She’s shading for not accomplishing as much as she did.
    2. She’s meaning to state how normal of a kid he is as shes spoken before of how growing up in the spotlight wasn’t good.

    And what I think is most likely…
    3. She’s compltely unaware of how she’s coming off. Bragging she has a bonus boy, while boasting about herself. I wonder what would happen if one of those boys asked her to stop talking about them? I would imagine she’d cry. Eddie would be upset she’s crying. And they passive aggresively shame the boys into speaking their minds and making Leann cry. Ugh.

  53. Pegasus says:

    I think she’s jealous Mason looks more like Brandy than she does.

    This hideous womanchild’s eyes are slits in a bag of tightly wrapped, self important delusion; the evil leaks out in every picture.

  54. jenn12 says:

    This is why people hate Leann so much- mothers get immediately that she oversteps her boundaries, like Hitler and the Maginot Line. It’s there, she’s not supposed to cross it, but she stomps right over it defiantly. She’s been doing this for years. An overbearing stepmother is bad enough, but the way she came into the family requires humility and grace. She needs to respect the mother whether she does or not, but the fact that she refers to the boys’ mother as “bio mom” speaks volumes. Brandi is their mother, period. Leann feels she should have equal billing for some reason. Eddie is complete garbage for allowing all of this. Yes, Leann was putting down an eleven year old to pump herself up. Disgusting.

    • Jess says:

      Oh but she has repeatedly said that she’s not going to filter herself because of someone else’s problem, which is so selfish in my opinion, and she’s been doing this since day one with Eddie. The best thing she could do for those kids is respect their mother, but she’s too immature and narcissistic to do that. I find her disgusting and a horrible role model for the kids, and Eddie’s even worse.

      • jenn12 says:

        I feel so bad for Brandi that she had to deal with all this while her kids were babies and had so little control because Eddie was enjoying sticking it to her. Eddie and Leann are starting to get a taste of big kids who don’t always act like little props. I hope they get all the anger and resentment that’s coming to them and have to try to lie their way through the evidence out there on the internet. They are disgusting excuses for human beings.

    • Christin says:

      I have lost track of how many segments she has managed to offend just over the past couple of years.

      She doesn’t seem to connect that the people she then views as ‘haters’ or jealous losers are her potential customers. She has something to sell. Driving away potential buyers is not business savvy at all. Yet she does it again and again.

  55. why? says:

    Leann Rimes: “Those dimples when my husband laughs #goodtimes #ilovehim #cowboyup”

    40 tweets and 8 instagram photos later…Leann is still not having good times in Montana with Eddie. Leann makes Eddie out to be a prize, but then when she is “alone” with him, all she does is tweet and post photos. Leann says that Eddie is her soulmate, but she had to take him to a bar just to get him drunk so that she could get a photo of him. The only the reason she posted the photo of Eddie was because people were questioning if Eddie was really in Montana with her because she has been tweeting all day. She is on a romantic vacation with her soulmate, why is she even reading what people are saying about her marriage? The Dailymail hasn’t posted anything about Leann’s romantic vacation yet, we know it’s coming because in between tweeting and posting photos, Leann was probably on the phone with her lawyer sending C &D to the Dailymail interviewer for misquoting her. Maybe she is waiting until after she watches RHOBH. I think the funniest part of this farce will be when Leann gets on Kiki’s twitter account and makes posts to make people think Kiki is in LA.

    • Vampi says:

      WOW!!!!!! 40 tweets and 8 Instagrams??? Girl has NO clue!! You are NOT soulmates LeAnn! NO ONE who is really so “happeeeeee” and “in looooovvee” would be online THAT much. You are SO right @ WHY?. I think I am only just now realizing how delusional and pathetic she is! (I know…lol..I’m always late to the party)…but seriously…WOW! She really, really has NO clue how transparent she is! There is NO love between her and Eddie AT ALL, or she would turn off her flipping phone and go radio silent during her “romantic” vacation! The only romance MeAnn has going on is with Twitter. Wow….sad….

      • claire says:

        @Vampi: The best example of how fake she is and obsessed with Twitter was the Thanksgiving a couple a few years ago. She sent out almost 200 tweets or something that day. She tweeted every few minutes for a few hours. Of course, they were all about how amazing HER (Eddie) family was, how grateful she was to have them there, lots of passive aggressive digs. all the amazing fun they were having …you know how it goes. The only problem is that when you are sending 200 tweets, there’s no way you’re actually interacting with any of those people. Instead, she was tweeting nonstop with those 10 ‘special’ fans of hers. The whole freaking day. It was hilarious. Everyone was joking that she was holed up in a corner in the house somewhere so obsessed to prove things.

      • Christin says:

        Can you imagine spending any amount of time with her? When I even think about all the tweeting, posing for selfies, humble bragging and yodeling that probably occurs, it makes my most annoying relatives seem preferable.

        And —- do we even know if SHE can tie her own shoes? Those bootie things she wears don’t have shoelaces. Regardless, I think this interview / advertisement has alerted even more people to the ridiculous, passive aggressive stuff she does and then acts victimized by it.

  56. embee says:

    Eddies dimples are bigger than his or her squinty eyes. What is he doing while she’s on twitter 24/7? They must be sooo happeeee away on another vacation

  57. briargal says:

    In reality she shames herself everytime she opens her mouth or tweets anything. She’s just too stupid to realize it. People are laughing at how ridiculous she is and she just doesn’t get it. Talk about being dense!!!

  58. Jess says:

    She spends all day on twitter posting pictures and commenting but expects people to believe she’s actually engaged with her husband while on vacation? Right. He’s probably trying to ignore her and hanging with his friends that she paid to come along, I’ve never seen anyone spend so much time online, it’s insane.

    She needs to stop messing with her face, she only gets worse. Her lips are creepy as hell and now her eyes look weird because she has about 3 inches between her eyes and eyebrows, what the hell is she doing?!

  59. Tarsha says:

    Her and Jennifer Aniston have so much in common, stealing men for sport and mocking other women’s children.

  60. Tarsha says:

    Mason has told Brandi that the youngest one, Jake, is LeAnn’s favourite. It doesn’t surprise me LeAnn said that about Mason. She would never make that comment about Jake, since he is all too happy to pose with her.

    • Bobbiesue says:

      Interestingly too, Mason looks so much like Brandi (her nemesis) and Jake is the spitting image of his father. Coincidence? I think not.

    Instead of enjoying her night with her soulmate and the man she was meant to be with, Leann decided to spend her night tweeting about the haters and designer jeans, retweeting articles that she “doesn’t” read before she retweets them, and downloading her album from amazon. On the second day of her romantic getaway with her soulmate, the man Leann was fated to be with, Leann put out 60 tweets, 8 instagram photos, and downloaded her Christmas album 165 times(it went from 1,101 to 936 on amazon). Will she top that today?

    Leann is always talking about how Eddie is a supportive husband, but whenever she claims that she is alone with him, she is tweeting and posting photos to instagram. When she was with Dean, Leann had support and structure. No one knew that she was this cruel, thoughtless, and delusional. With Eddie you see it all because Eddie isn’t interested in protecting Leann or spending time with Leann. If Eddie is the prize Leann and her fans make him out to be, why won’t Leann put down the iphone?

    Camp Leann is predictable. Kiki made an appearance on her twitter last night just to let everyone know that she “is not” with Leann and Eddie in Montana. She is in Park City, Utah. She also posted a photo of herself sitting in front of a fireplace watching a movie, the fireplace looks like it’s the fireplace at Leann’s house. Kiki’s tweet also has Leann’s signature, “I’m in sweats…” line.

    Leann starts off the third day of her romantic vacation with her soulmate by posting 2 photos to instagram. Will she top yesterday’s record of 60 tweets and 8 instagram photos?

    Last night I posted that the funniest part of the farce would be when Leann gets on Kiki’s twitter account and makes posts to make people think that Kiki is in LA. Leann needs new pr because you can predict what they are going to do before they even do it. An hour before Leann got back on twitter to make 20 more tweets, Kiki(since the tweet was about being in sweats it’s more than likely that Leann made that tweet) went to her twitter account and posted that she was in Utah. For the sweats &fireplace photo they turned on the location because Leann isn’t at all worried that people think that Kiki is in Montana with her and Eddie. I think it’s interesting that even though she is on a romantic vacation with her soulmate, Leann is doing damage control. No one believed that they were alone, so Leann posted the bowling scoreboard with an “E” and “L” and when people still didn’t buy that they were not alone, Leann posted a photo of a drunk Eddie in front of a bar trying to ride the bar stool, and when people still didn’t believe that they were alone, Kiki made an appearance on her twitter account and announced her location.

    Kiki: “Movie..sweats…popcorn…wine…fire…snowing outside…all unlimited refill! Doesnt get better than that!”

    Kiki: @abigalesnana Park City, UT

      Funny how there are lies to cover up lies from the person who lies the most and now has her paid pal/assistant lying too. What hell a fake life must be!!!

    • Puravidacostarica says:

      “All Unlimited refill” means Kiki is at an all inclusive resort or ranch. Tell me how a nanny can afford that unless she is with LeAnn. Check out photos of Rock Creek Ranch in Montana. That is where LeAnn and Eddie are likely staying (bet the ranch owners have a black lab puppy named Flynt). It is all inclusive (unlimited refills). It also has a big screen TV room just like Kiki posted with unlimited popcorn, wine, etc. Liars! But I got to hand it to LeAnn…she is burning through her cash to try to keep Eddie. That place is pricey!

      • Christin says:

        You are exactly right! A black lab puppy named Flint is shown in a recent video on their Facebook page. Ranch puppy indeed. And the logo you spotted in the bar picture looks like their RC logo.

      • Puravidacostarica says:

        I commented above about the bowling alley and scoreboards identical to LeAnn’s photo. For someone who doesn’t want anyone to know exactly where they are, LeAnn loves giving us all a reader needs to figure it out. The ranch is high end. The dog is Flint. The bar is called the Silver Dollar Saloon. The scenery and fences are all what you will see at the website for The Ranch at Rock Creek. Would love to spend some time there, provided L&E&K are not there too.

  63. why? says:

    If hastag Leann is going to post on Kiki’s twitter account, she should at least remember to stop using the hastags. According to “Kiki”, Leann is taking Eddie on another vacation in December. This is one of the reasons divorce is not an option for Leann and Eddie. Endless vacations.

    Kiki hasn’t tweeted since November 24, but as soon as people start verbalizing that Kiki is in Montana with Eddie and Leann because Leann won’t put down the iphone, Kiki awakens from her twitter slumber to announce that she is in Utah. Leann wants everyone to know that Kiki IS NOT in Montana with her and Eddie. After Leann tweeted to Chrissy Teigen and posted a quote on instagram about falling down just so that she could find her soulmate , hastag Leann went to Kiki’s twitter account and posted this message with a photo of Kiki taking a selfie of herself in the snow:

    Kiki: “Running below 0 #boaformaededicacao #bikiniinamonth 😝⛄️”

  64. why? says:

    Leann Rimes: “A cross between my “really babe, you want to take another pic” & my “Zoolander” model face 😳😝 having so much fun!!”

    Did you hear that everyone? Leann and Eddie are “alone” in Montana. That is why they are standing in the middle of a field taking happy couple photos because they didn’t drag anyone else to Montana with them. It’s been Eddie, not Kiki, taking all these photos of Leann posing by herself . If Eddie is taking the photos of Leann why is he using Leann’s phone? Wouldn’t he be using HIS phone to take photos of his wife who he loves so much? If Leann is having so much fun with Eddie in Montana why is she photoshopping and adding filters to the photos before she posts them to instagram? Based on the looks of her hair, Leann even went to a salon before she took those photos. Eddie looks scared in lovey dovey photo. Cabin. Snow. Is Leann going to pull a Annie Wilkes/Misery on Eddie?

    20 tweets and 6 instagram photos later…Leann is still not having much fun in Montana with her soulmate. Leann is on vacation with her soulmate, the man she was meant to be with, why is it so hard for her to put down her phone? She also added a new element. She has been tweeting on Kiki’s twitter account today. Every time she posts on her twitter account, she will then go to Kiki’s twitter account and make posts.

  65. why? says:

    Why does Leann make it so obvious that she is tweeting from Kiki’s twitter account? How is it that Kiki and Leann are in two different states(Utah and Montana), but somehow manage to both start tweeting at the same time? Is she on her vacation coordinating tweeting times with Kiki? Or is the better explanation that Leann is using Kiki’s twitter account?

    Kiki jtweeted that “Montana IS NOT Utah” (she also turned on the location so that everyone can see that she “is not” in Montana) , then 15 minutes later, Leann went to her instagram account and posted a photo of Eddie smiling. Leann loves Eddie smile so much that she just can’t stop tweeting, posting photos to instagram, and using Kiki’s twitter account to prove that Kiki is in a different state.

    Leann also made the mistake of including a hashtag in the comment that she posted to Kiki’s twitter account.

    25 tweets later(includes the ones she made on Kiki’s twitter account) and 8 instagram photos later…Leann is still not having much fun with Eddie. She is on a romantic sleigh ride with Eddie, why is she on instagram tweeting and Kiki’s twitter account?

  66. why? says:

    Why is Leann so predictable? The Dailymail finally caved into Leann’s demands and wrote a fluffpiece about all the photos that Leann posted and is still posting to instagram. Leann spent her romantic vacation with her soulmate, tweeting, arguing with people on twitter, posting photos to instagram, tweeting on Kiki’s twitter account, downloading her Christmas album, and sending threats to The Dailymail. Why is the press always so afraid to hold Leann accountable for her actions? She defames one of their writers, and the Dailymail rewards Leann by posting a very flattering article about her not so romantic vacation with her soulmate.

    Eddie’s photo in Montana (or Utah – they have ranches there as well) brought to mind a certain Thanksgiving photo from two years ago:

    • Puravidacostarica says:

      Wow. The Montana photo of Eddie doesn’t reflect a happy man IMO. Similar to the 2012 photo, there are the obvious signs: dead eyes, straight lip line, eyebrow droop. Nothing has changed for the better in two years. Imagine what the poor schmoe will look like when he hits the seven-year-stretch!
