I should have known that LeAnn Rimes would be predictably crazy for Motherâs Day. LeAnn believes she is as much a mother (if not more of a mother) as Brandi Glanville. So in the days leading up to Motherâs Day (Sunday) and the day of, LeAnn was very âextra.â First up, the above Instagram from LeAnn. As the LeAnn-watchers have already pointed out, LeAnn is wearing a bikini first seen on Brandi Glanville. Basically, LeAnn spent Motherâs Day trying to Single White Female Brandi. Of course. LeAnn got to do whatever she wanted for Motherâs Day because this happened:
Hubby told me I get anything I want today….we're about to hit up a spin class #vacationworkout #ithinkhehadotherideas #sunandmargaritas
— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) May 10, 2015
With divorced parents, how does it go? I hope Eddie did something special for the actual mother of his children, but I guess not. I guess he just let LeAnn do whatever she wanted. LeAnn also posted this on her Instagram:
Being a parent is the most rewarding yet challenging job anyone could ever have. Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mother there is. To every woman who thinks they’re completely screwing it up at any moment. To every woman who’s giving it their all and loving from the deepest places in their hearts they never knew existed. I hope you’re celebrated and appreciated not only today, but everyday. #proudmemberofthestepmomclub #happymothersday
SighâŚ
And hereâs the last thing. Last week, Brandi made some comments about âbreaking inâ to Eddie and LeAnnâs house to get something for one of the boys. Brandi said she had Eddieâs permission to break in, but that once she was there, she couldnât believe how Eddie and LeAnn are really âliving the lifeâ on LeAnnâs money. The comments were mostly about how Eddie lives on LeAnnâs money, etc, and it really didnât read as direct shade on LeAnn at all. But LeAnn made it all about her, because everything is always about LeAnn. LeAnn tweeted: âBiting my tongue #untyingitwoulddonogoodâ and âJust BS and setting the record straight would do no good #somepeoplereallybelievetheirlies #makesthemfeelbetter.â Then she responded to her sycophantic Twitter followers with a series of comments, like when one person wrote âbitches gonna bitch,â LeAnn responded, âOh, itâs not they⌠Itâs singular.â Yep.

Predictable.
And she is oh-so boring! Same old crap–just another day.
IKR? If you have to celebrate yourself for mothers’s day, kinda says something.
Pathetic. (and boring)
Why would she single white female Brandi? She’s nasty. They both are. So is Eddie cibawhatever
So things have calmed down enough for Eddie to actually let Brandi come over and go into their home without them, and she uses it to go on her podcast and do the whoa is me theme. Unbelievable. How is that helping to get along as she stated she is trying to do? He has the kids half the time. He is raising the kids just as much as she. Go get in your hundred thousand dollar plus Range Rover and cry me a river, Brandi.
LeAnn’s #paparazziblocker, that’s rich, since they are on LeAnn’s speed dial LOL
They are all fame hos and would die without the attention this sick triangle gives them.
I don’t think he let her in because they are on good terms. He let her in to get something his son needed. I don’t think what she said was that bad anyways. I am sure everyone knows that their house is nice. She said something about him being out of work, but then said most of Hollywood was out of work now.
It may not be great terms but I know we’ve had issues with SS not having what he needs a lot of the time and his mom refuses to give him a key. So at least one or both know that the kids come slightly before spite.
He isn’t doing anything, he has a nanny, and a maid, he doesn’t work, cook, clean, drive them school, or the doctor, and couldn’t even manage to get Jake’s assignment to school with him properly.
And despite his busy schedule of doing nothing, he’s still too lazy to pick up the kids from school if they are sick. They call their mom and he lives in the same neighborhood as the school.
He goes to LeAnn’s concerts, vacations, and soccer games. He isn’t doing any of the heavy lifting of being a parent. Most dads at least have the excuse of working for being too busy to engage more than just at the kids’ sporting events.
Accidents happen and people aren’t available or won’t be soon enough even if it isn’t necessarily because of work. Since it sounds like it’s the first time Brandi’s been in there either they’ve been good about the transfer of stuff or it was the first really important thing that was needed right then and no one was home. Shrug. It can be frustrating but it happens. I put everything on our online calendar that goes straight to our phones and set reminders. But not everyone does and I’ve had to rearrange my schedule to go pick something up that wasn’t sent with SS.
I agree, accidents happen, and kids need their assignments when they are due. It’s actually a pretty normal event to occur.
My comment was just in response to Jayna claiming that Eddie does as much as Brandi does in terms of parenting. Brandi actually added the caveat that most of Hollywood isn’t working so she wasn’t even being as snarky as Jayna was.
But from what I understand LeAnn put a major lock down on items she bought them. None of those clothes, gifts, shoes, electronics, etc are to leave their house. The kids are suppose to leave the house with clothes from the “Brandi pile” that they arrived in. The stuff isn’t even referred to as from your mother’s house or that your mother bought you.
In some self-serving mind game, they’ve completely stripped the maternal references from Brandi in dad’s house. What kid wants to hear their stuff or mother diminished like that?
You are a mentally healthy and respectful stepparent, who honors the mom. LeAnn doesn’t even come close to your levels of love and maturity.
That’s a real shame and I hope Brandi doesn’t engage in that. Ss’s mom has the same ridiculous attitude but we’ve always let SS know that he can take his toys, books, clothes, etc over to her house too. I’ve actually offered things in front of or to his mom as well just so SS knows we’re sincere. I’ve also noticed a ridiculous trend of buying doubles of things that don’t at all require that and are a waste of money. I know blurry lines between homes doesn’t really work when one or more people have boundary issues but the kid(s) should feel like things are theirs instead of in two separate vacuums.
Eddie isn’t raising the kids. He passes them off to Leann, Leann’s mother and stepfather, Kiki, his parents, or Karla. Eddie wasn’t working on April 27 or April 28(Jake’s play was April 29), so what was Eddie doing that was more important than getting his son his costume? Maybe Eddie shouldn’t have put Brandi in the position where she had to go into Leann’s house when he wasn’t there. Eddie knew that Jake’s play was coming up because on April 2, Leann posted a photo of Eddie wearing Jake’s astronaut helmet, why didn’t he give Brandi the costume before then?
I would really like to know how Leann even has any money left at this point to keep funding Eddiot’s cushy lifestyle. She hasn’t had a successful venture in what, a decade? When did Coyote Ugly come out……….
And that interview with Dean made it sound like she’s always been a big spender so I’m guessing things weren’t invested that well. Perplexing.
I wonder the same thing (especially with Dean’s observation, which was similar to her own father’s allegations of wild spending in his countersuit). She seems to be shilling lesser known products right and left. I just don’t see how that is enough to keep the lifestyle funded.
I listened to the interview. She didn’t do a woe is me chant. She gave an excuse as to why he isn’t working or working much. Her comment on their house seemed like it was based on a bit of surprise or even shock because it was the first time they had let her in the house and so she finally found out how Eddie lives. But not because she was complaining about his new life style. She’s over him.
She didn’t buy a $100k Range Rover. She leases it.
I like Brandi, but she needs to act as though they don’t exist. No more comments on them, even if they’re true, because it makes her look like she’s going back on her word about getting along. She’s quite restrained for what they do (LR has been favoring ugly tweets about her nonstop) but she needs to either go radio silent or not be positive and then negative. They suck, most people get it- don’t spend time talking about how things are better. Leann is an utter witch and I wonder what she will do once the boys start accessing the ugliness she has aimed at their mother. She probably thinks she can manipulate around it. Funny how she sees herself as a victim, but blithely ignores all the nasty tweets and comments she’s been making and favoring.
I feel for those kids when they have access to or decide to check up on all the media on and with their family. Besides all the cheating and the hate flung around there’s all kinds of creepily public information about their sex lives. And it’s everywhere. They can watch Eddie and Leann’s failed show, RHOBH, read the gossip rags and Brandi’s book, see a bunch of interviews with each of them, etc.
And this is precisely why Brandi should go silent and Leann should have all her media access taken away. People seem to forget that at some point their kids will be in a position to compare what stories and truths adults have told them and how the adults are actually behaving.
Yes, ITA. I’m fascinated as to how Leann and Eddie- particularly Leann- don’t seem to think past short term. I like Brandi, but her kids don’t need to read about her sexual activities (or their dad’s, but he’s garbage). I know she shows restraint, but it needs to be total. Don’t talk about things going okay and then make a snarky comment; don’t say anything, because you should know how your ex and his wife are. Leann is just evil to the core; the things she’s done and encouraged and tweeted are common knowledge and, as someone said downthread (you?), later is coming up fast. The lack of long term thinking and its consequences are on their way.
Yep it was me! Too many people *really* don’t think when it comes to their media. It used to just be celebrities who had to worry about sound bytes and interviews. Now everyone is something of their own celebrity with their thoughts, feelings and immediate reactions out there all the time. And honestly I’m really not tempted to get onto those social media platforms. Not only do I think too many people make mistakes that they can’t really take back but things can also be misinterpreted. I’m sure it’s just too tempting to post an immediate response to someone trying to provoke you even with thinly veiled quotes or backhanded compliments. But, why would you want to carry an argument into more areas of your life than needed? And how do you NOT manage to think more than half a step ahead when kids are involved? It’s mind boggling.
She is so hateful and insecure. And crazy. Let’s not forget crazy.
She also spent her vacation favoriting mean tweets about Brandi. You know, because she “doesn’t engage.” LOL. She really should reflect on her social media behavior. Not just how spiteful and hateful she is with it, but….If you cannot get through even one vacation day with your husband, without spending the majority of the day on Twitter, tweeting with a bunch of weirdos, then you might want to consider it’s a problem!
She went to “Twitter rehab”, too! I mean, I know that was a load of BS like everything else… but it speaks to her absurd levels of denial. After announcing something like that, you’d think she’d at least *try* not to show the world her 24/7 Twitter habit.
I wish these three would just bury the hatchet and SHUT UP- they have two kids in the middle of this craziness, who asked for none of this.
And FYI: truly being a parent means doing what is healthiest and happiest for your kids or step-kids. So, you ain’t there yet, babe. You are a TRUE parent when you stop your infantile BS and realize the kids deserve better than this. (Brandi and Ediot don’t get a pass on this either!)
Good Lord, why are they so obsessed with each other still?!
That’s what I don’t get! I don’t even want to know how many years this has been going on.
The incessant bikini photos are so damn nauseating.
Agreed. I see Leann’s body more than my own!
I should have known better to click.
Can she not afford her own bikinis? I don’t get why she feels the need to post pics and shill for everything.
I’m convinced she’s shilling the bikini brands because she always mentions the bikini brand in the caption.
This is a genuine question and not snark but does this at all work for the bikini brands? I guess her bikini shtick is constantly on MSN and probably the gossip rags but does it actually get buyers for these products?
Yeah, she does this every bikini season. And in exchange She takes picture of herself in the bikini to advertise.
Other stars get an actual check, but Leann has to barter like some at a flea market.
I’m not on Twitter or Instagram or any of that so I doubt I would be influenced any which way but if I *did* know which one she was endorsing I would be more likely to avoid it!
Yeah, she tags them a ton then thanks them when they send her the bikinis. It really is like bartering. LOL.
Seriously. And I’m going to be the big ol’ bitch and come out and say it: someone that ungodly unattractive should seriously rethink all the close-up selfies.
WORD!!!
Of course she spent Mother’s Day and the days leading up to MD doing that. She ain’t got anything better to do. An occasional gig that she calls a tiring “tour” and then spends the rest of her time on social media. What a pathetic has-been!
Shes nothing more than a troll that used to be able to sing.
X10,000
Noticed no mention of her own mother. No gifts for Belinda or bonus mom or mom in law. Self centered.
Oh she did mention Belinda’s husband when he was in the hospital to garner attention for herself from her fans. Then someone had the nerve to ask why shes not by her mother’s side and leann responded no visitors aloud .
Yet she posted a photo of an orchid with hashtags suggesting her MIL gave it to her for Mothers Day.
Shilling and trolling, all the day long.
Yes, I remember that and her looney fans were all praying for HER. People who make everything happening in the world, including other people’s ill health or tragedy, about themselves, make me sick. They also tend to be the type who take credit for things that they had nothing to do with. Marg completely ticks all of the above boxes. It’s the same with her denial that she’s not the boys Mother. She has to make Mother’s Day all about her and her only, but will also make Step-Mother’s day, next Sunday all about her too. It ALL has to be about her.
There’s no Stepfathers’ Day, right? Good Lord. Nice to know she ignored her bio mom AND her stepmother.
I didn’t know there was a Stepmother’s Day. It never occurred to me. Before 50/50 custody became more common step moms were either seeing kids every other weekend or they had fully stepped in the female parental role if the father had been given full custody. It’s messier now for sure but I don’t know that everything warrants a separate day. What happens with your BIL on Father’s Day?
Well, my BIL has a child from a previous relationship and he and my SIL have 2 kids together (in addition to her two from prior relationships). So, on Father’s Day, he gets from his kids and then my nephews give him cards that aren’t for dads, but for stepdads, or To L, thanks for everything, or “You’re my best friend” (that’s the one whose dad died). Mainly, it thanks him for being a part of their lives. On Mother’s Day, my stepnephew gives my SIL a stepmother’s card or a loving card, thanking her for being part of his life. It’s all pretty congenial.
Brandi and Leann are both crazy in their own way. I truly think they have a better relationship than they let on and just do things back and forth to stay in the press and keep it going as some low-rent version of Brangelina and Aniston. Just the feeling I get. Like they have an agreement when one of them is promoting something, the other agrees to kick drama up a little.
Cali that is an interesting theory. I would love it if once a month Jolie, Jen, Leanne, and Brandi got together for book club and margaritas.
No, LeAnn isn’t that savvy, she truly is that selfish mean girl, who sued her dad as a teen. Because he stood in the way of her moving in with her boyfriend, and supporting him, his mom, and his friends. Sound familiar?
Obviously, Brandi could turn up the drama for money because that’s what she does on RH. But the drama on LeAnn’s side is literally ruining her career.
Exactly. Brandi has tried to extend the olive branch a couple of times,but Leann is to dumb to reciprocate. Leann could become one of the members of rhobh in a heart beat if she could pretend to tone down the crazy.
This never going to happen because Leann is obsessed with Eddie’s obsession with Brandi. And now that Brandi is letting tthe special man in her life meet the boys Eddie’s going to be extra spiteful because narcissists have trouble believing that the ex can actually move on.
Funcakes I totally agree with your assessment about how it will go down with Brandi having a serious SO. Eddie doesn’t have the sense to realize it’s best if all of them accept the other’s partner and Leann’s too self absorbed to point out they should treat the guy the way they want Brandi to treat her. And they have it much easier because Brandi wasn’t cheating with the SO!
I agree, if LeAnn did accept the olive branch things would go so much better for her career wise. People love watching a train wreck but they also love happy endings. Lots of great press came from Bruce Willis, Demi, and Ashton, all getting along.
She’s a fool to not try and capitalize on the good pr that would come from a truly blended family. Who wants to watch her repeatedly try and shove a mom out of the picture for her super stepmom stuff? It will never land right. Everyone has a mom who they wouldn’t want treated as such.
And I also agree, it stems from Ed’s obsession with Brandi. Most men wouldn’t want their second wife to be obsessed with the first one. But I think it serves his sick ego to have LeAnn jumping through hoops and used as a weapon against Brandi. Like you said, he wants to punish her for moving on.
100% Karma. Even GOOP is getting good PR (mostly) for her conscious uncoupling. Although I have to admit that I wonder if that situation doesn’t just confuse the kids into thinking there’s a shot at reconciliation. But at least the kids won’t read their trashy family drama story in the future.
Leann’s entire MO has been to try to throw Brandi out of her own life. It’s not just cheating and new partners; Leann’s entire existence has been focused on Brandi getting out of Leann’s way, despite the fact that the boys are Brandi’s sons. She blatantly favors ugly tweets about Brandi and communicates with fans who abuse her the worst, and then tries to sell herself as the victim.
@Karma–“if LeAnn did accept the olive branch things would go so much better for her career wise.” Sorry but her career is kaput–she cannot sing, she warbles. She isn’t reliable when she has an appearance scheduled. How many times has she cancelled because of ‘illness’ and we find out later she lied. When she does have a gig, she relies on her phone or pieces of paper to be able to remember the lyrics. The last several albums she has put out have been total flops. Sorry but as a singer, she is DONE!! Her TV show was a complete mess and total failure. Her only career now is pap-whoring and gossip blogs. And she’s becoming so boring that soon that may dry up!
All that is true. And like always gets mentioned, her career was kaput BEFORE the affair. It’s not like her career was doing awesome and then went to crap bc of her behavior. She was totally a has-been before Eddie, and the only resurgence this has really given her is a placement as a tabloid fixture. There are way more problems for her as a performer than just the Brandi stuff.
You’re right she doesn’t put in enough effort into singing to actually benefit from the good pr. The best she could hope for is getting off the ‘most hated’ and ‘worst stepmom’ lists.
Kaiser speaking from my experience as a step mom I can say that the parents don’t do anything for each other on Mother and Father’s Days. A big part of that is one or both parties have flung so much hate and insulted not only them but their parenting that they either spitefully don’t or can’t even think about engaging with the other person. Usually it’s written in the custody agreement that the kids are with that parent for their particular day.
Personally, I was slightly horrified at first but having witnessed other interactions I get it. And if it’s bad enough then the kids are uncomfortable with their parents interacting in any way. My job is to try to make everyone more comfortable and hopefully be a bridge. I’m the one who is friendly no matter what, makes sure SS has gifts for all holidays and cards, etc. This isn’t always perfect and with stuff for his mom I just check and if he needs something I remind him before exchange so he can ask his maternal grandma. It’s a hard balance of not overstepping with a parent but not wanting the child to struggle. No one did this for SS with regards to my husband before I came along so I feel for kids and parents without extra support.
My husband gets me a Mother’s Day gift. I’m the one who has SS after school, rearranges my work schedule and gets him to all his practices, etc. I am a parent. But I don’t shove it in anyone’s face and I’m always careful SS knows I realize I’m not his mom. Being a stepparent is really hard. Especially as 50/50 custody is more common and you are doing a lot in that 50%.
You sound like a really amazing step mom.
^THIS. đ
Aw thanks guys!
Keep up the good work. You’ll never go wrong if you do.
You’re doing everything right as a step-mom. You’re passively parenting, which is what kids need from a step-parent. You’re parenting, but in a quiet, behind the scenes manner that makes all the parties involved feel secure in their roles and not threatened.
Thanks funcakes and paranormalgirl!
My BIL is raising my nephew because his father barely had anything to do with him, and then was killed in an accident. Not once does he overstep his boundaries or put down the child’s dad or pretend he’s the father. That is how you stepparent, and it sounds like you have it down, too. Good work.
It’s nice to know that there are excellent step-moms out there who support a relationship with the child and their mom. And helping a kid buy gifts and cards for mom is huge that hits their self-esteem in all the right places too.
That’s a great way of putting it, being a bridge and making everyone comfortable. It honors the family and elevates your spot in it.
Being the glue that helps bind together a family that suffered through divorce has to be more satisfying than being a wrecking ball. I don’t understand why anyone chooses to be the wrecking ball in such a situation. It clearly comes down to character defects and/or mental illness issues.
Congrats, I guarantee, your SS notices and I’m sure his mother is grateful too.
Exactly. I just can’t imagine any scenario where I would want to hurt my SS or put my feelings before him being damaged. Which is why this “celebrity” family is so infuriating although I suspect similar things happen with people with more private lives. I’m sure there are plenty of awful stories of FB, Twitter and Instagram digs, etc. at the other parent or stepparents. But honestly stepkids are generally exposed to enough discomfort in person that needs to be smoothed over. Why ramp that up and ensure it will only get worse? I’d like to not have a pit in my stomach over every interaction wondering if his mom will be friendly, frosty or downright hostile as I smile through it so I’m certain SS feels the same way and I will NOT be the one to contribute negativity.
I can’t imagine it either, my mom and I were the smoothing it over types too.
Unfortunately, I’ve had the wicked stepmother, and later, so did my half sister after our mom died from cancer at 40. You wouldn’t believe what we’ve been through, it’s Lifetime Movie Channel stuff.
It sucks that you and the mom still have issues but dealing with it in a positive way is better than going against who you are as person. I hope things get better for you both.
I’m so sorry you ended up with a rotten step mom. I can’t imagine how that impacted your relationship with your father as well. My husband and I agreed as soon as we started dating that his kid was a priority and we would be putting family first. And that included as I became family because my husband trusted that I was thinking in a whole family sense and not selfishly. If I ever did something he thought was hurting his kid or our family unit he would call me on it. I’m always shocked it’s not that way for other families.
you’re doing a great job, but isn’t it his father’s responsibility to be doing all that. no shade, but as a child I would be wanting to spend that 50% with my dad toting me around not just my stepmom no matter how awesome you are.
His Dad has a full time job and supports our household as well as pays child support and covers all medical. I work 3/4 time and have the flexibility to cover after school. Not only is it time for the two of us to have a better relationship before any other kids are involved so we build a solid base as a family but it allows his mom to, if she were inclined, work more of her job those days without paying for daycare or dragging him to work. My husband is very involved and we make sure they have alone time. He used to have a different schedule where he could cover childcare every other Friday but he was home much later the rest of the time. Now he’s happier in his new job, has just as much time with SS but can’t cover the childcare one day a week. We all make the best of what we can do for our families. My husband will always make significantly more in his career than I will in mine. And this way SS is doing his homework, playing a sport, and having time where we bond.
She’s so damn predictable. You’re on a vacation with your man BUT sit on Twitter all day tweeting with the Deliverance 7 (her fans). What I find laughable is she didn’t even wish her own Mom “Happy Mother’s Day” because she was too busy stalking Brandi’ timeline and liking hateful tweets. Crazy is putting it mildly and I can’t see why others and her fans don’t catch on with her passive agressive digs.
As far as Brandi’s comment, justifiable considering he’s only paying $1K a month on child support and suing her for money. That would make anyone upset. You’re living off your rich wife but reduce your support to your children because you don’t work.
She also mention she chooses to play small venues (lawn chairs, casino dumps and parking lots) because she prefers intimate settings. Chile please. She’s a hasbeen with limited choices and soon that will run out.
Her money is damn near gone and once it is…so will Eddie. Go to YouTube and watch that Joan Rivers interview with them. She asked the question regarding finances and they both were hesitant. No money = No Eddie.
I know everyone points out to those fans that she is not their friend as they claim, because they have to pay to see her, etc. But at this point, I think they really are her friends, albeit ones she uses, manipulates, treats poorly. Think about it. These are the people she talks to all day. These are the people she texts, calls, DMs…all day. These are the people she gives private relationship information to, that she gives private information about Brandi to. These are the people she starts tweeting with not a minute or two after she has walked off the stage in whatever dingy dive bar or casino she just performed in. These are the people she tweets with all day while on vacation, during Holidays. These are the people she’s seeking validation and support from. Sounds like friends to me.
Lizzy and the rest seemed to have full lives with lots of friends that aren’t Leann. She just seems to come out to trot around Calabasas for lunchtime paparazzi shoots, or to vacation on Leann’s dime. When she talks about real friends, it’s not Leann that gets mentioned. Same with the other women she inherited from the marriage.
The rest of the people in Leann’s life don’t seem to care either. They just all take advantage of her wallet. No one in the industry gives a crap about her. She now claims her paid assistant as her friend. As sad and pathetic as it is, these internet losers really are her friends.
Wow…that’s spot on. I’ve never looked at it that way before but wow…yep. Sad.
So true. And if she or Eddie really cared about the kids and their family life then the constant media nonsense would stop. Sit back, enjoy your real life in real time and lock up the phone! Then she’d have real friends to discuss any custody issues with and not air every freaking thing for those kids to see later. And later is coming up fast.
Some said Leann was playing a waffle and chicken joint this weekend. After the laughter died down some explained that it wasn’t. It just have the same name as another establishment.
But we all know that playing fast food joints isn’t far off.
Just wanted to share that as I was popping into a donut shop I saw an ad for Leanne’s appearance at the All Ohio BalLOON (emphasis mine) Fest and her face and balloons were looking extra photoshopped. If she actually shows up, the small children will be terrified.
Let me say this one small thing in defense of Leann. If my ex was in my house wandering around unsupervised and then had the audacity to make a bunch of public comments about it, I would have a very difficult time taking the high road.
That being said, as a mom to kids with a stepmom with serious boundary problems, I sympathize with Brandi as well. I try and think of it as the tax I have to pay for the benefit of no longer being married to my ex.
Yes that’s a hard situation. We’ve had to go back and forth with key discussions and whether or not my husband’s ex can be trusted because she destroyed a lot of his property in the separation. Unfortunately that will fall on SS eventually because there will hit a point he has to have keys and it breaks my heart to know he’s going to be told X parent can’t enter Y’s house and the reverse. How awful. But you’re right that even if it isn’t physical damage there’s usually at least one party who will abuse it somehow. Sad.
I have a friend whose ex went into her house under the guise of needing to get something for the kid (15 year old) and took a bunch of pictures to try and prove she doesn’t need child support. Such an invasion. Just not okay. I don’t know what I will do in the future when my kids are a little older and have keys to the house.
Leann has no right to be offended about Brandi going into her house and then saying something about it because in 2010, Leann paid Extra to sit outside of Brandi and Eddie’s house in 2010 and take photos of herself and Eddie moving things out of Brandi and Eddie’s house during Brandi and Eddie’s divorce. Everything that Leann has ever done to Brandi is coming back on Leann.
Size Does Matter – Oh my gosh that’s horrible and creepy! Yeah we’re not happy with the idea but don’t see a way around it. If you think of something let me know!
Enough with all three of these idiots. Two grown ass women fighting to be the Queen to the king shit of turd hill. Eddie is absolute garbage and everyone involved should be ashamed
I really don’t think Brandi wants him back. I mean, why would she?
It’s odd that she didn’t even wish her own mother a Happy Mother’s Day in all her blathering about mother’s love blah blah blah. I can’t figure out who she is wanting validation from? She goes insane every mother’s day. She can’t quite figure it all out. Eddie was married to Brandi, and they had sex. Brandi gave birth to Eddie’s two children. She is the mother. She isn’t going away Leann, just because you wish she would. Grow up!!
I know, right?! Narcissism at its best.
I know the first Mother’s Day was rough on me as a step mom but you don’t put it all out there for the world you know? It’s something you work through with your spouse and you certainly never burden the kids with it. This family is especially fascinating/horrifying because all the normal emotions you would go through in these scenarios are taken not only to the extreme but public. Yikes.
She’ll take lots of kudos on StepMother’s Day as well. So she’ll take two Mother’s Days, despite not being the mother to those kids. Her neediness knows no bounds. LOL.
I spotted her twitter late in the day. She was on one of her hyper jags. Ands she’s full of crap. Eddie gave her the slip as usual because there would be pictures not only taken by her but by the photo agencies she employs.
I love that she claim Eddie declared it her day to do what she wants. Isn’t that every day because Ed’s not there to give a crap.
Oh I forgot there was one picture but it was obvious Eddie had his share of libation for the day.
That declaration she made that Eddie said she could have anything she wants made me laugh because she’s pays for everything anyway.
Perhaps someone can fill us in on what exactly Brandi views as this living large aspect. I have seen a few pics of her own home, and I don’t think she is exactly living without perks (nice kitchen, pool, etc.). Is it the size of the home/lot, view, nicer amenities or what?
I would personally be laughing to myself about how materialism won out (as in, good riddance) and leave it at that.
I think that Brandi is bothered by Eddie just lying around being a kept man, when she is out hustling to support their children.
Ah, that would be understandable. Eddie played the pretty boy, no depth roles and likely had a limited shelf life in the acting world (even if laziness did not take over).
When the money stops flowing at Casa deLusion, he may come nosing around Brandi again (if her income stream is still going).
I totally get that and I find it interesting because I think often the genders are reversed (although Eddie is still paying support and Brandi isn’t). That said, by this point she should just be occasionally complaining to her friends or significant other. I’m usually more worried that the lazy attitude will rub off on the kid(s) and they’ll feel entitled. The situation is frustrating but the potential long term damage of children not understanding hard work, how to manage finances, financial priorities, etc is what she should really be worried about!
I was thinking the same thing. I’m bBrandi has a different concept of living large because the girl lacks class which I’m sure she would admit herself.
I’m sure leann’s quality of life has drastically declined since the gigolo came into her life.
Leann has to not only support Ed but all the rest of the people in his life just to keep him around. Plus he’s not working and she’s begging for work because she’s barely hirable because she likes to cancel last minute to monitor Ed.
Brandi’s concept of fancy might be some garish painting like ” Dogs playing Poker”.
LOL at the ‘art’ reference. I am genuinely stumped at what she means, because the early pics of the bargain casa were not that impressive. I’m sure a lot of money has been dumped into it, including a gym to keep a certain rarely employed actor from having the excuse of working out elsewhere.
It is predictable, but sad none-the-less that Eddie doesn’t have the where-with-all to make sure his boys do something nice for their mother and I don’t mean LeAnn. I don’t like Brandi and I don’t even think she’s a good mother. Regardless, a father should feel a responsibility to his children’s mother no matter what. Would it kill him to take his boys to get their mother a card and some flowers? I doubt it even occurs to him and if it did, LeAnn would read it wrong and make a fuss. It’s a shame that LeAnn thinks this day is an opportunity to be recognized but doesn’t feel any support for the woman who carried them, gave birth and whose flesh and blood they are. Kudos to stepparents everywhere. It is a job and not an easy one. Many are the bridges for their stepkids and their parents. But LeAnn’s not even taking notice of Brandi being those boys’ mother is beyond insensitive. It’s ludicrous.
This chick really needs to get her ass into counselling. Her insecurity and obsessions have got to be hell on the people around her – not that I give a rat’s ass about Eddie, but the poor kids deserve better.
If she really wants to be a good step-mom she’d drop the nonsense.
Leann, you’re not a mother. No matter how much you want to believe you are, and no matter how much you want us to believe you are…you’re just not. Those boys have two involved parents. They have a mother and a father. And neither is you. If you want kids of your own, I hope you get them. As their father’s second wife, you can play an important role in these boys’ lives, for sure. You can be their loving and wise older friend, and I hope you are. But let me say it again: you are not, not, not their mother. Trust me that both boys are very clear on who their mother actually is. As are we.
If you really are wearing a bikini or clothes that we first saw on Brandi, as you have reportedly done many times before, that’s just sad and desperate.
Just be you…Brandi’s taken.
Poor LeAnn. Has she been taking Photoshop lessons from Lindsay Lohan? Looks as if she almost Photoshopped her right leg out of existence.
Can’t you just stop writing about her? Wouldn’t that make her go away? It’s not like she’s making music anymore.
Same arguments are made about the Kardashians all the time on GFY. I feel you.
Leann please stop calling yourself a “mother”. You’re a disgrace. That is all.
Once again, Leann spends another vacation with her soulmate on twitter and instagram. This is why no one believes that Eddie loves Leann. She is in Mexico with the man she has declared her soulmate, and yet she spends every hour of the day either arguing with people or obsessing about Brandi. Leann must be running low of funds because last year(or was it the year before that) she bragged about how she bought everyone(Brandi, Eddie’s mother, Karla H, and her god mother) flowers for Mother’s Day.
What everyone is missing from the story about Brandi going into Leann’s house is why couldn’t Eddie get his son’s costume? It’s not like Eddie was working or doing anything important. We know that they were in LA on the April 27th and the 28th because Leann was having tweetfests. Jake’s play was on the April 29 , and we only know this because at 9:59 am, Leann was on twitter tweeting immediately after the play was over. Brandi only posted about the play later in the day.
Leann is just mad because either she didn’t want anyone to know that Brandi and Eddie are talking to each other behind her back or Eddie lied to Leann, making her think that he was going to be at her house on April 28th while she was in the studio “working”.
She flat out refuses to allow herself to be likable. Just when people start to come around, and think she isn’t so bad, boom….she does something tasteless on social media to bash the boys mother.
I’m a bio mom and a step mom, both. I would never ever think to pull the stuff Leann does to make herself look superior to Brandi, and my stepkids mother is an actual heroin addict. I still treat her with compassion and kindness because of THE KIDS you fool!
She is their mother.
It isn’t any particular angelic skill or gift to be a good stepmom. Just love them and be nice and stop expecting a freaking medal for it.
Go away, Leann.
Sounds like you’re in a tough situation and doing it right! It’s not a divine skill by any means but it does require being pretty selfless and having the ability to rise above (or at least not flip out) when negativity and abuse is thrown at you or your husband. Basically you’re a loving adult!
Leann needs to be the martyr, so she tries to make it sound as though the boys NEEDED her, and that everything was falling apart. The truth- that she was a lay cheating on her own husband who turned into the wife who now tries to kick the kids’ mom out of their lives, despite the fact that they WANT their mother there- doesn’t come close to touching her. I know many good stepparents who don’t need to act as though they’re integral to the kids’ lives and know their boundaries. You sound like one. Kudos.
Eddie must have been the first man in her sexual history to hit all the right spots in bed. She was in such a euphoria that she was willing to throw whatever money she had to keep him.
Leann is a safety net plain and simple. Eddie had nowhere else to go and Leann was the only oasis in the desert. Leann is only in those boys lives by default because she had a bank account and Daddy didn’t.
This is what makes Leann rabid about Brandi because she know that she was a last resort. And knows that if Brandi wanted Eddie right now he would pack his bags and disappear out of her life like she never existed.
This is what also killing Leann. Because we all know Eddie is just waiting for another mark so he can leave. Every day is like waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I agree with everything, except that Eddie wants Brandi back. I don’t think he does. I think he wants his freedom to act like a 21 year old. He cheated on her throughout their marriage and she would never allow that again. I think he wants to be supported while doing whatever he wants. He’s a sociopath. I saw the Instagram video with his best friend and their other friends- they were copying the video in which Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez lip synch to Call Me Maybe; each taking a turn in front of the camera, etc. Those people were 18-24 when they did that. Here are these people in their 40s, doing the exact same thing in their spare time (as though Eddie has anything but). They also filmed the women’s rear ends as they danced. These people are stuck in their halcyon college years mentally.
Leanne hasn’t been on twitter or posted any bikini pics on Instagram in over 18 hours….I’m getting worried.
She’s recovering from her meltdown. The other day she was yelling about not seeing her haters on the TL. Then she gave orders to her minions to block the haters she never see but get into fights with. She was also exchanging words with them the other day.
So much for the romantic vacation.
My parents divorced when I was a teenage, my father gained full/physical custody of us. I do have a step-mother who was in my life since my late teens. In my experience, my father simply let us spend the day with our mother – nothing special or extra. And my step-mother (whom is a far better parent to I then my mother) would never complain. As an adult I give them both cards on Mother’s Day since they both helped raise me.
It sounds like you’re a thoughtful and appreciative person. I’m sure all your parents are grateful for that!
Alls i can think is that first husband dodged a bullet. Good Lawd, she must have more going on for herself. Like her 1st ex said, what’s up with LeAnn’s career. I will say Brandi could do herself a favor and ignore ignore ignore. Her happiness is proof she dodged a bullet too.
She also favorited a tweet, saying something of the sort that “great stepmoms fall in love with their stepchildren EVEN AFTER meeting and knowing their biological mothers”. Just… evil.
P.S. Found it https://twitter.com/Trishamott/status/597446474738245632
Even my black heart thinks that is some cray.
Oh my gosh. Does she not stop to think how that would make the Cibrian boys feel?
And to be snarky it should be great second wives still married their husbands EVEN AFTER meeting and knowing their first wives. If the first spouse is crazy or mean, etc that falls on the person who willingly entered that relationship NOT the kids who have NO SAY. For crying out loud. And you still shouldn’t say or favorite or retweet or whatever because it’s STILL THEIR MOTHER! Ugh.
She doesn’t give a rat’s behind about how anyone feels. She is one selfish, entitled little brat that should have been disciplined when she was younger. Her bio-mom is to blame for a lot of her craziness and selfishness. She let Leaky do anything she wanted and anyone she wanted. Her dad tried to rein her in but bio-mom and loony Leaky just ignored him. I think he was lucky to get away from bio-mom.
I know this is terrible for all the reasons mentioned. I have to say though, the thing that bugs me the most about her doing this sort of thing is that simultaneously, she’s posting all those idiotic quotes and tweeting and giving interviews about how angelic she is, how she doesn’t engage, doesn’t hate, etc. If you’re going to be a bit*h, just be one and own it for goodness sakes.
It’s not even that crazy that she hates her loser husband’s ex-wife. Many people do. It’s that she does it so publicly, AND that she pretends she doesn’t, despite the fact that she does it so publicly! That’s the crazy part.
Speculation has been that there may be multiple aliases used, just to let her vent. I don’t read every online article about her, but the ones I do read usually have at least two very staunch defenders (different screen names, but the general message and writing style is often similar).
It’s comical to read the comments and note how similar the two (sometimes three) defenders are. It goes like this — LR great. B really bad. LR talented; B not. Everyone is a jelly hater.
@Christin–Maybe she has multiple personalities if she has multiple aliases. Sybil/Leann=crazy!
I have no idea if it is her, but supposedly her ex called out at least one alias. I just go to the comments to see if the theme is adjusted. The usual points are net worth, talent, beauty, and everyone must be uber jealous of all that. Uber fan or troll, maybe. Who knows.
Given the passive aggressive stuff done under her known account, I could believe there is more she wants to unleash.
This is not the first time Leann favored a hate post on Brandi with pictures and her name to boot.
Leann is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Someone should cut off her box of wine when she tweets. It only leads to trouble.
Holy F. What is wrong with this woman?!
Gosh, where do we start??? Things too numerous to mention. She just belongs in a padded cell and in a straight jacket.
That list can fill a phone book.
This was the tweet I mentioned earlier but it is Brandi keeping up the drama. NOT! This battle is one-sided because Brandi doesn’t let LeAnn and her high school antics bother her anymore which kills LeAnn. The only time Brandi addressed her this year was when Leann and her paid lackey drove 45 minutes out of the way to join Brandi’s pilate studio (the owner refused her membership).
What an ugly, evil thing to say. So basically, this “woman” is patting herself on the back for managing to like her stepkids even though they’re like their mother? And is simultaneously insulting their mother? And Leann is favoring it, of course, because she was the shining light that rescued Eddie from Brandi and his terrible life of going away with the boys to cheat on his wife. This is why she is loathed.
Now watch Leann try to backtrack for favoring this tweet.
Both Eddie and Leann knew that the son had a school play on that day and that the costume’s helmet was at their house. So how come the Stepmother of the Year and Dad of the Year didn’t make sure the son had his helmet with him? Why did they have to make Brandi drive all the way to their house to pick it up?
Anyhoo, I listened to the interview on which Brandi made this comment. It wasn’t that bad. And if Eddie and Leann guard their privacy so much, then they should have been more careful about what was left behind at their home that one of the sons needed for school that day.
You mean they don’t live in a gated community with guards protecting their precious property?
Leann was out making a liquor run. Can’t let the bar run low.
I listened too and it wasn’t a big deal. Not to mention it was a couple of weeks ago that the interview aired. LeAnn must be touchy about her lazy, moocher husband.
I am a divorced mother with a 14 yr old daughter. My ex is re-married. It has hard at first, no doubt, but now we have a good relationship. My ex called me to wish me Happy Mother’s Day. I am sure he did something with his current wife as well b/c she is part of my daughter’s life too.
I used to love Leann Rimes’s singing and voice. She is a true talent. It is a shame that she has let this situation over-run her career and personal life. None of these people should be commenting on this stuff anymore. It’s been years. I know b/c I have been there. At some point you just let go and say you are going to do the best for your children. These three people (Brandi, Leanne and Eddie) clearly, have never done that. It is truly sad…..Affairs/divorces/re-marriages happen all the time. Get over it already!!!
Speaking from someone who has been there and done it đ
I mostly pity their children…..they will not come out of this un-scarred. In fact, it is a guarantee at this point.
Thanks for sharing Amy B! And good for all of you that you have found a way to make the situation work for your child. No doubt it was so hard for you to have another woman spending time with your daughter in a home life situation. I have so much respect for you for putting your child first and not dwelling on the past.
I actually have so much respect for my daughters’ step mom at this point. It was not easy. My daughter did not get along with her for years. But they have a good relationship now. But it takes the parents to show that example. These people are a circus and it mostly makes me sad for the children. If any one of them cared about their child, they would stop….but they never do đ
Amy B I’m sure your daughter’s step mom realized your daughter had every right to struggling with that transition. And good on all of you for modeling the appropriate behavior and supporting your child.
I too feel so sorry for the Cibrian kids. None of these adults seem to be able to take the high road for long.
Oh the insanity of it all. Leaky supposedly hashtagged this on one of her tweets—#oncealiaralwaysaliar. How true but we all know that she is the liar in this whole scenario. Once again, if her lips are moving/or her fingers are moving, she is lying.
Leak knows a lot about lying! Like the time she was on Jimmy Kimmel telling about how she yells at the tv, and then realized what she’d said and added that she doesn’t watch LOL.
For those saying Brandi should let go….she has. Even wished all Mom’s HAPPY Mother’s Day. It’s not Brandi starting drama if you pay close attention. Read her TL versus LeAnn’s and you will see who’s the snark one. While B was celebrating her day with her sons, LeAnn was on Twitter in Mexico arguing with strangers regarding her role. SM Day is this weekend and I’m betting she won’t be as annoying as she was on Mother’s Day.
It irritates my soul when people say, “she’s not a good Mother”…very unfair to say considering none of us have seen her interact with her kids on TV. None of us are perfect parents but to say someone is a bad parent based on a TV show is ridiculous. Bad parenting is neglect and those boys are well loved by both parents and LeAnn.
Brandi is moving on with her life (new man, wine and a 3rd book) and doesn’t have time to entertain an insecure narcissist.
Leann treats those boys very well and even Brandi says they love her. I honestly don’t see why she is so hated by people. I guess I don’t invest that much into people I don’t know.
Brandi is a total bitch on her reality show- there is nothing good about that woman
She’s hated because she constantly tries to kick the children’s mother out of their lives so she can take over, simply because she wants to. She’s hated because she oversteps boundaries and behaves inappropriately around the kids. She’s hated because she cannot control her hatred for a woman who did nothing more than have the life Leann wanted and has been unsuccessful at shoving her out of. She’s loathed for favoring ugly tweets towards the boys’ mom and refusing to accept any courteous boundary, because it doesn’t work for HER. If you love your stepkids, you control your attitude and mouth, you don’t behave in a hypersexual way, you don’t encourage people to harass the kids’ mother, you don’t try to take over the mom’s role in an attempt to hurt her, and- if you’ve married the kids’ father because you were the cause of the breakup- you try a little humility.
Exactly.
Word!! That was spot on!! Jenn12 just broke it down!!
You guys are funny! đ
I never see this girl in clothes. She’s always wearing bikinis.
Oh well bless her heart. Girl tries so hard.
Yet, fails. Every time.
How sad must life be for miss Margaret.
Only positive thing, it appears she has stopped calling the paps for pics of her blissful bikini vacays. Thank god for that!
Her pics are worthless!
Exactly. I’m dying to know how the lawsuit turned out. Leann must have lost because she would have found a way to gloat via another accounteven if the terms of the aagreement is confidential.
She always think she’s teaching someone a lesson. Then she gloats ahead of time before it all blows up in her face.
A good example of this is when mariah Carey canceled at the last minute and Leann went on Twitter bragging about replacing mariah as the headliner. Then mariah did the concert after all.
And let’s not forget the tTV show fiasco when Leann lied and said the show was a success. Then she thanked her haters for making it a success only to see the ratings drop like a brick. Reruns of ten year old cartoons were beating her in the ratings.
Then her fans wanted to know if the show was renewed but she refused to respond. Everyone found out thru a press release months later. Her shady butt knew it was canceled.
I’m not even going to give a blow by blow of the Spitfire CD because we all know how that turned out.
Now Leann is asking people to support Kelly Rutherford. Does Leann do any kind of research? Or course people are ripping her a new one because of it and making her look like the uninformed goofball she is.
And now she’s going on about being lied to so many times it’s hard to know what’s true. I don’t know if she’s talking about the press or what. Put the Chablis bottle away.
Now after painting herself in a corner Leann is asking for prayers for someone’s relative who is in critical condition. What a user.
She had the nerve to tweet about keeping things private when it involves children…this after she put personal info about Brandi’s boys on her Instagram. She is such an idiot and a hypocrite.
Those poor kids. Having two mid-iife crisis-feeling petty losers spewing the same crap at each other, year and year. Not to mention their mother’s on-screen behavior and tampon string hanging out of her undies. Messy.
At this point I feel resigned to LeAnn’s crazy. Like Brandi, I have to look at the positive whilst knowing crazy is always present.
Meh, lighten up. I imagine Leann’s house as being a messy, thrown together hodge podge of out dated decor and much needed remodeling on her ‘budget’ mansion. I know how I would be as the ex getting the first look at their supposed jet set lifestyle of her kept ex and his ‘wealthy’ keeper. I would imagine Brandi got quite a few good laughs and simply shared some of them. Not near the big deal some want to make it. I imagine it is a plain Jane ugly house with no theme which probably surprised and thrilled the ex wife. I think its hilarious.
My thoughts on seeing Leaky’s “grand” house was that it was so unimpressive. Looked like a house that was added on to time and again with different styling ideas. Just throw something up. Nothing like some of the beautiful houses I’ve seen pics of from their gated community. Nothing I would want to live in. But then come to think of it, it’s just Leaky’s style as when she dresses to go out in public/papwhoring it looks like she just grabbed whatever was hanging there and closest to her. Grab and put it on. Hodgepodge of style. So the house really does fit her, I guess.
Doesn’t Leann have a mother to honor on that day, rather than herself? I don’t know whether her mother has passed [which she could still honor ] but that day is not meant for self-worship.
This woman is a serious piece of work…GET KNOCKED UP ALREADY…let your step kids be mothered by their MOTHER, not their step-monster…
Brandi may be a hot mess, but how the hell does one totally get over a situation when you have someone like LeAnn constantly and incessantly making diggs and jabs at the woman who went through 9mos of carrying, delivering and raising her sons (and I’m not buying that LeAnn cares for these boys, they’re just screws she can put to Brandi…)
These ‘adults’ need to stop drinking, popping pills and start focusing on CO-PARENTING…
DAMN!!!!!!
In the not so distant future, both boys will be of an age where they both can distance themselves from the crazy. I assume CA is like other states where a child can influence the custody arrangement once they get to a certain age.
If the crazy is too strong in either household, they may be able to live full time with one parent instead of bouncing between two households.
