Here are some photos of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian out and about in NYC yesterday. There were some costume changes because they were doing press to various media outlets. Like… they sat down with Wendy Williams and this interview was… uncomfortable. I know people have mixed opinions about Wendy (and I’m right there with you), but props to her for not pulling her punches with both of them. Eddie blatantly lies throughout the interview too, which is funny because it’s so obvious. He’s such a bad actor. He’s like, “Yeah, we’ll have a baby,” as he literally squirms and looks pained.
“Well my wife doesn’t engage. I mean if you want to look back, really dig down and be a journalist, look at the timelines and you will see that there is a big discrepancy and there really is no going back and forth, my wife sometimes… I mean you eventually you have to say something, enough is enough, but the truth is she has always taken the high road.”
I think that ^^ is my favorite part, when Eddie tries to say that LeAnn never starts Twitter wars or that when LeAnn does go crazy on Twitter, it’s only because Brandi provoked her. Rii-ight. I really don’t think LeAnn and Eddie’s joint interviews have been going the way they planned. They were expecting everything to be light and breezy and interviewers are like, “WHY ARE YOU SO CRAZY?” and “Why do you start sh-t with Eddie’s ex-wife?”
Oh, and LeAnn is releasing a dance remix CD? Hahahaha. This album will make Spitfire look like a huge hit.

LeAnn doesn’t engage. How delusional can anyone possibly be?
Do as Eddie suggested, read through the timelines with an unbiased journalistic eye and I think he’s right
Not right at all.
And anyone that does as Eddie suggests needs their head examined. #douchelord
With my unbiased detective eye, I’d say you are trolling Heidi.
Eddie is a compulsive liar and we already know the score Both are two smug clowns that will only see a further backlash in their careers.
LeA…errr, heidi. Just stop with this. For real. *sigh*
Oh Heidi….she does engage. All you have to do is look at her timeline. Not only does she engage, she is like a kid that pokes a dog with a stick through a fence. Then she gets mad and pouts “what did I do” when the dog bites her. Her #1 goes in life is baiting Brandi over Brandi’s kids. It’s the only #1 hit she’ll ever have.
Hi Leann/Kiki!
You can’t be serious. No one buys that.
TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!!!!!!
Aka Heidi.
Mmmkay sure Heidi/Kiki/MeAnn whoever you are. You forget that many people and especialy the bloggers/press watched all this occur in real time before anyone was deleting anything. Everyone’s knows what’s happened, as it happened….trying to recreate what happened or deny that MeAnn has instigated 80% of the issues is just lame.
I watched that last night and all I could think was how uncomfortable it was and what liars they both are.I also didn’t need to know LeAnne gets drunk and dances naked in her front yard.What a thing to blurt out.And she is always referring to Brandi’s kids as hers.She said it right there.Well they are not.Your their stepmom.I can see now why Brandi gets so mad at her.And Eddie is just a tool.What a bad liar he is.Eddie is with her because she has a lot of money and he has a cushy life now and doesn’t need to work anymore.He has a free ride.I never really paid attention to them before but they are both gross.I hope the show lays a big egg.
About her dancing naked (shudder): Didn’t she blurt out something just as inappropriate when singing a tribute to I think it was Patsy Cline, (not positive,) but her “I was thinking about sex the whole time” quote ruined what was apparently a well-sung song. Utterly classless.
Lady D I didn’t see that so I don’t know but I don’t doubt it.She is trying to prove all the time she is a sex kitten.Sorry some people are and some people are not and she isn’t one of them.She does have a great voice and had a great singing career before all of this.Not anymore.All three of them are pathetic.I saw some pictures of Brandi in a bikini in Vegas.Have some dignity.You are a Mom and in your forties.It barely covered her private parts.I don’t know why anyone sticks up for any of them.
hahahahaha…thankyou.
I loathe ALL Chanel quilted bags. That it all.
I’m right there with you Eliza. The fringe just adds to the ugly.
I guess that phone so tightly clutched in her paw doesn’t fit inside that big bag.
I used to love them (just not that color) but they became so tacky, just like Louboutin shoes and Louis Vuitton bags… Can’t ridiculous people stop buying/wearing them?
At first I thought this sentence, “I used to love them . . . but they became so tacky,” referred to Eddie and LeAnn. Then I realized you meant the Chanel bags. 🙂
@Kaye I don’t know anything about LeAnn & Eddie except for what I read about them here, so… xD
Yes. They were cute. I still love my cc clutch, but do not prefer it as much for social evenings. Seems cheap and tacky when so many stye knockoffs came out.
Like Coach bags. They were nice and now they’re tacky.
Oh my god this is so true. Sad because I used to love my Fendi clutch 🙁
I am with you.
Yep! Agree with all of the above.
I’m big on jimmy choo bags. Never liked LV!
The Washington Post has an article that is an excellent summation of their PR fail with their show. Can’t c&p the link from my device, but am hoping someone else can. It’s an excellent read.
And. I couldn’t even make it through the alternate reality he was pushing on WW’s show. He even did a full turn for the audience so they could admire his physique. Yuck.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/07/18/leann-rimes-eddie-cibrian-image-pr-backfires-with-terrible-new-reality-show/
It is good!
Thank you for posting the link! The writer is spot on, IMO.
Good article. I only watched a little of the episode and found it interesting that they detailed every single tabloid story. If you didn’t know all the awful things said about them before tuning in, you should did by the end of the episode. Why would you do that????
I’m surprised no on has commented on the body language in the WW video above. Eddie turns his body as far away from Leann as possible without actually turning his back to her. That is an extremely closed stance. You don’t do that if you are sitting next to the woman you love but you do when it is someone you can’t stand.
I was about to say the same thing, Lucinda. I found it painful to watch.
Thank you for posting this, what idiots. So glad the rest of the world sees what we’ve all been seeing now since day one. The fact that he Washington Post covered it is GREAT. The more people who understand the situation the better. I now give this marriage 8 months. 🙂
Washpo article: http://washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/07/18/leann-rimes-eddie-cibrian-image-pr-backfires-with-terrible-new-reality-show/
This article is such a great read on an epic scale! Great way to start a weekend – with a big laugh.

Great article. I won’t watch the show (or even the clip) but the article is so spot on about horrible they are. Gross.
“Now, apparently not quite ready to let go of the spotlight, Rimes and Cibrian have decided to dredge it all up again…”
LMAO!! Tell us how you really feel, Washington Post…
According to the article, LeAnn and Eddie can legitimately crown themselves the “Worst [People] on Reality TV.” Congratulations, you two. You finally won?…
If I didn’t think Leanne read this blog before, I do now. All of the things she mentioned, I’ve read in the comments here!
I do agree with Eddie though when he says Brandi does start every issue. Of course Brandi does-Eddie has moved on and Brandi cannot for the life of her let the past go.
Besides she’s made up of a vindictive and manipulative nature
Loved Wendy’s positivity over the Leann & Eddie show. It was good and the L&E bashers can’t accept there are three sides to this story, not only Brandi’s.
Wendy didn’t seem positive about them to me. She was goading them the whole time and it was hilarious. You could tell Eddie was getting pissed.
I watched it several times and found her to be surprisingly effusive about how good the show was. My friends who watched were pleasantly surprised and plan to keep watching. Eddie wasn’t pissed . You can find it online and re-watch
I picked up on Wendy’s passive little jabs, I thought it was hilarious, she questioned that not engaging thing in a way that people do when they know someone is lying!
Well, if you’re looking at the twitter timeline now – there’s been A LOT of tweet and deletes on Leann’s part, so I don’t think we can judge based on the timelines.
Brandi does her share of deleting
aw, how cute. MeAnn’s minions are out early to make sure that “truth” gets out there.
Haha , yes they are in full force on an all the gossip sites and on twitter. At least they are reasonably polite on CB.
All 3 of them…. adorable!!
I know, right? And MeAnn’s, umm, biggest fan heidi, is back once again to represent, the way she she always is in MeAnn threads! It really is just precious.
Don’t forget, doofus: They are out to get the “real” truth out there! As opposed to the “unreal” truth, apparently… Gosh, I just love it when people are really bad liars and embarass themselves by being so obvious through their choice of words.
Radar once did an overview of the “arguments/engagement and it was 50:1 showing Brandi was starting mostly everything . You can’t blame Leann for things her fans do or brandi gettin mad at her for living her life. No one blames Brandi for things her fans do, even though Brandi’s original bunch have a goal of bringing down leann/ attacking leann. Hell Bradi even gave 500 dollars to the woman Leann was suing! Most of these hardcore brandi fans (you know who you are) are clearly unhappy with something in their own lives and can barely stop the fighting between themselves- but you lay down with dogs and you’re gonna get bit.
Yesterday the site said leann made an eddie c Instagram- not proven. It made of all old photos from the Internet- maybe she did, maybe she didn’t but for all anyone knows- I could be behind that Instagram!! All of these women who are wasting their lives fightin on the Internet and creating timelines, need to grow up!! It’s one thing to love celebrity gossip (hand up) but another to have such a strong hatred for a person that you’ve never even met!
And to be be clear- I don’t think leann is 100% innocent. I just think brandi is responsible for this dragging out for years! Girl move on and maybe you can quit drinking so much.
To be fair – Radar has been very pro-Leann for quite some time. There have been things that they roasted Brandi for, and completely turned a blind eye to some of the worse Leann things. Not saying they’re ALWAYS pro-Leann, but there is a trend in the writing to favor her.
LeAnn just tries to be more slick about it when she starts drama, like calling the boys her sons or back in the beginning when she would post a ton of pictures of Eddie and the boys just to flaunt it. Lets not forget she has friends who have been bashing Brandi for years, she follows them and interacts with them to this day, so she can get away with saying she doesn’t start it, and of course her fake accounts. Look at the hateful crap LeAnn and Eddie are saying on the show for the world to hear, now imagine what they say to her face or to the boys, they are sick and twisted individuals.
HaHa. Did the show bomb that bad?
@Hyena,
” We all know no one really hates Leann- they hate that Eddie hasn’t cheated again or hasn’t come crawling back to Brandi. Because that means that the cheating in their own lives may have actually been about THEM and not the man being a chronic cheater.
Not only did Eddie go crawling back to Brandi to keep the the marriage in tact, he cheated on LeAnn WITH Brandi. So, I ask you was the cheating about LeAnn or is it because E is a chronic cheater?
Go ahead- resort to the oh you’re just Leann, oh you and another poster are the same person. It doesn’t that the fact that I’m right!! Ha!
I love how the examples of leann engaging include being subtle and talking about the boys. Why is brandi paying attention? If they are subtle, they are not direct digs and Brandi can go back to drinking, sexing and being an overall gross crayon.
I thought it was pretty well established that Eddie asked Scheana Marie out (to presumably hook up as they usually did) WHILE he was with Leann. Scheana Marie turned him down. I’m sorry but if my man was asking other women out on renedevous, I would consider that cheating- whether he actually scored or not. The intention is all there. He betrayed Leann too. I think his inability to be faithful and respectful is a reflection of his nasty heart more than who the woman he is currently with.
@Hyena…are you a regular poster at ROL? You remind me of someone over there.
Or she can join Leann in her drinking/naked dance parties in the front yard. So appropriate!
leeman is that you?
lol, I think you’re right…
NK368- What did your man do to you?
We all know no one really hates Leann- they hate that Eddie hasn’t cheated again or hasn’t come crawling back to Brandi. Because that means that the cheating in their own lives may have actually been about THEM and not the man being a chronic cheater.
The Stans can deny it all they want but too much of the narrative is obsessed with saying “he loved brandi more”, “he did this with Brandi”, “brandi is hotter” and “he will come crawling back to brandi”. I could go on and on and on but girl you know it’s true!
@hyena LOL what? could heidi/hyena be a little more obviously leeann or her people? i don’t give a shit about either of them beyond it being hilarious d-list gossip filler and said nothing about him loving brandi more. me calling yall out for being leeann/on her team means “my man” has done something to me?
THIS right here is exactly what is wrong with the delusion of leeann and anyone on her team (not fans, she has none left). if we say anything negative about her, it’s all about the larger implications of cheating in our own lives and we’re taking it out on the perennial victim leeann and we’re all just bullies. zero self awareness or ability to take accountability for any of her faults or any hand she has had in this situation.
Slow clap for nk868.
Well said.
“hilarious d-list gossip filler” is going to be stuck in her craw for months.
Either that or they’re on her payroll.
Ok Leann – too bad your show bombed. lololol
Thank you LeAnn. You should be sleeping in today and enjoying your “successful” show.
Mmmkay sure Heidi/Kiki/MeAnn whoever you are. You forget that many people and especialy the bloggers/press watched all this occur in real time before anyone was deleting anything. Everyone’s knows what’s happened, as it happened….trying to recreate what happened or deny that MeAnn has instigated 80% of the issues is just lame.
She’s one of the worst dressed women in Hollywood.
Agree
Agree. Plus she should set fire to her shoe collection.
Totally agree. It’s like she, sorry her “stylist “throws everything on the bed and she just blindly picks. The shoes are the worst though. Last week there was a picture of her in these mangled jeans, not just aged or ripped, straight up mangled. All I could think was the amount of effort it must have taken to put on pants with so many holes.
I had to stop after Wendy told her she got a good one! Yeah sure- don’t we all want an unemployed cheater who is just with us for the money? Score, Leann.
Agree so ridiculous. He’s a nobody! Wendy will change her tune when it’s HER MAN leaving her for another woman. I was very surprised that Wendy didn’t come on stronger. I used to like her.
They’re made of lies and manure.
Ugh he is such a DOUCHE!!! Turn around for the ladies. I threw up in my mouth a little. Ugh.
For what, even? To show off his dumpy but, man boobs and belly? That dude’s looks have seriously faded. All 3 of these people look worse for wear. Nothing for him to be twirling and showing off.
I think Leann gave Ed a small bonus check for doing just that.
He’s got a face made for…
slapping.
Over and over again.
Not a fan of any of them including Brandi and both women engage at each other. Neither are innocent its not all leanne nor is it all brandi. Both can incite at any moment all on there own both start crap equally. This is someone that watches but still is nit a fan of any
Never noticed it before but they both look like plastic surgery mishaps.
I think someone somewhere else suggested that they appear on “Botched” , the failed plastic surgery program/ spinoff of the househags of BH.
Sounds about right.
You were expecting something different?
I hope someday they teach college sociology courses that deconstruct the power of social media where complete, unadulterated vitriol is involved: three people you’d barely heard of and didn’t give a crap about turned themselves into household names, earning paychecks based soley on their unfiltered hostility towards each other.
i’m still at Kim K’s sex tape and where we are with the results…..
Sign me up for that course like, RIGHT. NOW.
🙂 I’m with ya. The psychology of all this is fascinating.
I’m in.
It is fascinating!
Where do I go to sign up?
Yes! I truly consider my regular visits to Celebitchy as sociological education. I’m not kidding.
No joke. I think as a group we’re ready to teach this course, by now. 😉
His face when Wendy said they were starting to look like one another. LOL
I caught that too.Nice that your husband looked like he wanted to hurl.But they do look alike now.His eyes are all small and squinty now.Just like hers.
“Doesn’t engage” the same way he “doesn’t” sound like a liar?
Please!
I feel sorry for these two. (Almost). Because their entire relationship is based on talking about their affair and his ex-wife. Not much of a marriage, if you ask me.
He is the perfect example of how a man can be so handsome and such a douche. Women, be wary of any man who slags his ex-wife/girlfriend/lover the way he does. He will do the same thing to you one day.
naturally, I’m not a fan of any of these people but I hope, hope, hope that Brandi does not engage in ANY of this. the best thing she can do right now is keep her mouth shut and let them shoot themselves in the foot. seriously, they need nothing from Brandi’s camp but crickets and when the show crashes and burns MAJORLY, then she laugh and say told ya so. How stupid are these people? the fact that they are doing this goes to show that they are the ones that clearly haven’t moved on. that’s just how I want to spend my life with my husband – worrying about what his ex wife is saying about me. we get it, Leann, you feel INFERIOR to Brandi. get a life other than the one you got girl.
She will. She won’t be able to help herself.
Nope she has no plans to engage at all. She knows thats what L & E and others are hoping for, she has no plans too, and I do know that personally.
She won’t because she doesn’t want to give their show publicity. But that is THE ONLY reason why she hasn’t responded.
These people never miss an opportunity to make it about themselves.
I bet it really bothers you that she hasn’t and probably won’t.
The reviews and comments are bad, so so bad. These two are so blinded by their desire to hurt Brandi that they don’t stop and think before they speak, every time eddie talks he makes himself look worse by bashing Brandi. And LeAnn not engaging in twitter crap was the best lie yet, she has around 70k tweets vs Brandi’s 25k, that alone tells us who starts it more often, and she freaking called a complete stranger then sued her over twitter drama, so delusional to say she doesn’t engage.
I found eddie’s turn for the audience nauseating, he’s put on some weight and his face looks weird, or maybe I’m just not attracted to lying gold diggers.
I agree totally.
I’ve been personally tweeted by Leann – I’d tweeted ” I can’t believe you put stomach bug and someone losing a mom in the same breath as if they’re comparable.” and I got a “god bless you” and a block. Radar and a few other sites – daily mail and just jared maybe – had my tweet on them, calling Leann out. She completely engages in everything. She’s a constant victim in her mind.
Haha I actually remember reading that exchange on Twitter a while back. I think I may have even favorited your tweet 🙂 She is always a victim because imo she is a sociopath; she’s not capable of feeling any sort of empathy for anyone.
That’s interesting! A good for you for a spot on comment to her.
I suspect she has nothing else to do all day, and is so self-obsessed that she reads every comment on twitter.
It’s a shame – she is a talented singer, or used to be at least. If she could focus on that, or maybe find some cause to volunteer for, etc, all of the petty twitter stuff and competing with Brandi wouldn’t consume her life the way it seems to.
Hahah, thanks guys.
Honestly, I don’t usually engage celebrities, or really tweet them. But that comment bothered me.
If she REALLY wanted to work on her singing, and her voice, she could make another tidy profit. She has the potential to do well, but she flounders because the cray just outweighs it.
This is a bit OT, but any guesses as to when we can expect another illness or injury?
If the higher profile interviews are over, it’s probably time for one. High profile gigs and vacations tend to be mostly sickness-free.
And, good for you to call out that tweet.
Christin – I bet sooner rather than later. It’ll be an excuse to why she quits promoting the failed show, and whatever that mess was with the little people dressed as elves on a beach.
Or old men!!
Is it just me or does he look like he could be her father?? I was repulsed by that old man turning himself for the audience to get a look. I mean really, dude?? The audience was just being nice. I cannot believe he is only in his 40’s, I honestly thought he was in his 50 ‘s!
I called it a trainwreck waiting to happen and figured their interviews would be awful. But the Wendy Williams interview was good and I saw the show. I hate to admit it but to those that don’t follow these losers they came across good and it will probably help them in the long run LeAnn comes across more mellow. Their lies are blatant but most people don’t know that, and Brandi does herself no favors with her behavior, So I doubt the average viewer is invested so doesn’t have any bad feeling toward LeAnn and Eddie.. Not to people that know what a delusional stalker she is, which is just the internet that follows it and knows the real scoop, but for people tuning in out of curiosity, they seem fine and in love. Or maybe it’s because I was expecting such a trainwreck and it didn’t happen that it seemed okay. LOL Lowered expectations. But I can’t see that it will do good for all six episodes. All they do is talk about tabloids. Not much to build a show on.
Don’t believe that most people will believe their lies. If they been on the net or have read any articles they know. Their careers show it. Eddie can’t find work and Leann career has been on a downward swing. But Brandi is the one that has benefitted from all of this. She is on a popular TV show, writes for an Australian magazine, has a podcast, written 2 books and launching new products. Wendy likes Eddie and she said somethng positive about Playboy but when she polled the audience she and another person said they watched it. So her saying something positive means nothing. The show has already gotten poor reviews from the preview episode If they show all 6 episodes they will be lucky but I doubt there will be future episodes. It shows them as two smug individuals obsessed with the ex.
Obsessed seems to be such a mild word to describe her fixation on Brandi.
this whole thing is so annoying but like a really delicious social media car crash i can’t stop gaping at.
i watch the housewives shows (don’t judge! watch and then read the vulture recaps and comments it’s all such wonderful escapism) and brandi doesn’t really talk about her ex anymore. she really screws up a lot and causes nonsensical drama, aaaand comes across like an idiot sometimes and burns bridges with the wrong people, BUT she’s not using it as a platform to discuss the two of them at all, to her credit. it took a little long for her to at least get a grip on that part of her life (the rest is a mess, i’m not a brandi defender, just think she is lesser of two evils) if this was 3 years ago, sure we could pin a lot of blame on brandi, but i think she has moved on and leeann is PISSED because it’s the only thing making her relevant anymore.. or at least living in the past.
also their show wouldn’t even exist without the brandi storyline because she’s the bigger star now
ok one last thing! sorry. i LOOOOVE the constant “we have to get our side out there!” as if there is any new information. she sat down for several interviews and has absolutely had a chance thru twitter/publicists/etc to get “her” side out. the problem with her is she doens’t have any defense and whenever she tells “her” side people continue to hate her. she doesn’t understand it so she still thinks she needs to work to make sure people see “her” side. zero self awareness. if she was smart she would go into PR hiding for a year or two and come out with a great record that has nothing to do with any of this.
Yeah cause Brandi’s so innocent- wrote 2 books about them, the show, constant tweets and articles! Come on. I don’t understand how this crayon of a woman has so many people fooled.
Hi Leann!!
Hi Le!
And, good for Brandi. NOw, I hope Bradi puts the cherry on top and files suit against the two losers.. They have no prospect making any money, so she takes all of theirs – who will get the last laugh.. Go Brandi!
What LeAnn could never accept is that Brandi is and will always be the victim in this story. Eddie publicly humiliated her and left her with nothing, Brandi had a right to speak up and be loud about it, LeAnn did not. She should’ve stayed off twitter and let it die down, but she chose to stalk, harass, and taunt Brandi to this day, and people hate her because of that behavior.
Brandi probably would never have wrote a book or talked had she not been screwed over financially by Eddie. If there was any shred of decency in that man, once divorced he would have looked out for the woman who gave him 13 years and 2 kids instead of seeing how he can screw her over, perhaps no one would have even known Brandi’s side of the story.
This is the second time you’ve used “crayon” as an insult. Is this some new slang I’ve missed out on?
I was going to ask the same thing ella. What does calling someone a crayon mean, Hyena?
What does it mean when you call somebody a crayon? Ella – I see you said the exact same thing!
Hey jezi – If Brandi was so worried about being left financially destitute- then why did she quickly spend eddie’s money on vagina rejuvation? You guys can’t even keep your narrative straight.
@Jezi,
How was Brandi screwed over financially by Eddie? Regardless, Brandi has been talking since before Eddie filed for divorce, then she kept talking and talking and talking, wrote a book, and then talked some more, so I don’t see how Eddie financially screwing Brandi over, if that even happened, is connected,
I disagree with Eddie and Leann trying to make it seem like they’ve never initiated or engaged Brandi, but goodness knows the opposite isn’t true either.
When someone finds out her husband has been cheating on her, it’s bad. Two small children in the mix is worse. And getting together with someone like Leann who is hell bent on destroying Brandi and taking over her life simply because she wants to is complete evil. Brandi talked for a while, terrified, alone, broke, and being publicly attacked by someone who wanted her husband and kids, trying to get some sort of balance of power back. What planet are you on? Leann sold the story of their affair to the media, calls the paps for every move, including those with Brandi’s young children when she and Eddie were first dating or whatever, and is endlessly photographed acting hypersexual in front of the kids. NO ONE is following them around. What money did Brandi have in the beginning? She was a small time model who became a housewife and Eddie isn’t rich by any means. Leann pays his bills.
@Jezi-
LOL. You make it sound like the ONLY problem she had with Eddie was his wandering peen. Brandi’s fans are just as vain as Brandi.
Her number one problem is Eddie’s CHOICE to be disrespectful to her and to allow others to do the same.
But alas, fans like you still think her number one problem is LeAnn… that or honoring the great love he had with Brandi. LOL.
@josephina where exactly are you getting that from what I said? I never said Leann was the issue. And I’m not a fan.
To Hyena and aaa my narrative has never changed. Eddie did everything in his power to control Brandi while together and after she kicked him out. He used Leann’s money to weasel every bit of money from Brandi. So what she used his card for that. It was after he did everything possible to hurt her.
She was making tons of passive aggressive and sh*t stirring posts during filming. You just know they so badly wanted Brandi to engage so they’d have something for their show. She really didn’t take the bait, so it’s unsurprising they’re trying harder in their interviews. They need it. Heck, Eddie even said in an interview they hope Brandi talks smack and gives them free publicity.
Heidi, Leann told the story for a couple of years. She got the sit-down interviews, she spewed nonstop on Twitter. Brandi had the right to tell her side since Leann had been doing it for so long. IMO, they were even after the book came out.
this
??
Slow clap for Claire!
Their body language says everything. Leann was a fidgety mess. Eddie answered every tough question with humor since the real answers are anything but funny.
I know, she appeared very nervous. Her hands moved as much as her mouth. Wonder what that was all about? Wendy must make her anxious for some reason.
Leann is never comfortable in the presence of mature women. She acted the same way whsn she was on the Talk clinging to Sharon Osborne. or have rapid hand motion and rarely looks at he person. She talks a lot of crap on twitter but nervous when confronted, She would never deal with Brandi one on one. Brandi would eat her alive.
Eddie Cibrian has gotten caught lying before, but he may not be lying here, this may be, dare I say, “his truth.”
I think that both Leann and Brandi have instigated things or over-reacted to things on Twitter and in the media, personally I think that Brandi has done it more, so while I don’t agree with Eddie trying to paint Leann as a total innocent, I think that if you did a timeline like Eddie said, that Brandi has started or ridiculously escalated most of the incidents by far.
Now here’s the rub, I am pretty sure that others may look at the same timeline and say that Leann was at fault in many incidents because she did not know her place or was being passive-aggressive. For example, Leann’s now infamous “my boys” tweet that Brandi responded to on Twitter, and because of Brandi’s strong response the incident got picked up by the media. According to Eddie on last night’s show, he mentioned “our” best friends, meaning his and Leann’s best friends, and added on that “our” sons are best friends, meaning his and Leann’s son. So it looks like Leann referring to Mason and Jake as “my boys” is OK with Eddie, and therefore he probably saw Brandi as the one at fault when she angrily reacted on Twitter.
Narcissistic jerks do often react this way. Their “truth,” as twisted and wrong as it is, is still their truth and they’ll be damned if anyone doesn’t worship them and believe it. They’ll go on and on and on like a broken record trying to get people to accept their version of events. Probably is the root of a lot of Eddie and Leann’s anger and inability to not obsess over tabloids, Brandi and the public opinion of them.
@claire,
The narcissistic jerk label applies to all three people in this triangle IMO.
@aaa: Brandi has some personality issues too, but the NPD label seems to describe the other two has-beens to a T. Brandi just seems immature and impulsive, to a self-damaging level, IMO. All three have issues, for sure.
@claire,
People see the same thing differently. I know I called Eddie a narcissistic jerk, but if you want me to elaborate, to me Eddie is more jerk than narcissist. Whereas with Brandi and Leann, their narcissism is palpable.
@aaa: We almost agree! That’s pretty good for two commenters on totally different sides. LOL.
@aaa-
I think you are on point.
I thank the heavens above that I have never followed the cat fight on the internet that is Brandi and LeAnne. The internet Brandi/Leann bashing started years ago. My comments have been based on Brandi’s ugly behavior on the RHOBH, book excerpts, and some of her comments from her podcast and public drunkenness on one too many occasions.
Leann and Eddie are now married and have to work problems out like other married couples. The show does focus on them. They should and will address any
outlandish tabloid press about their lives. Brandi has pretty much implied that Eddie married Leann only because of Leann’s money and that she rejected him. Brandi does not know why Eddie married Leann anymore than Leann knows why Eddie married Brandi given that he cheated so many times.
The entire world knows why Eddie married Leann, including Leann.. I mean hello. The chic is nuts with money. If she had no money, do you really think Eddie would be married to her. I would like to see the check Leann paid Eddie to act like that. She was so pleased… Goody goody Leann, you got your way – but know one buys it. You are history now sista.
I think cheating is so second nature to Eddie that it shows he is unable to love anyone more than himself. why did he cheat on Leann with the Sur waitress Schena Marie?! He contacted Scheana and asked her out while he was cheating on Brandi with Leann. So technically, he was screwing around on all 3 women at the same time. He’s gross
@stacey,
IIRC Eddie and Scheana Marie said that story wasn’t true.
Personally I would not trust Eddie, but in general I am not a trusting person. I know that people like to play the “once a cheater, always a cheater” card, but I can see Eddie deciding to not be the same kind of husband to Leann that he was to Brandi. I would not be shocked if he “relapsed,” but when Eddie was married to Brandi, like you said, Eddie cared most about himself and did not try to “stay on the wagon” other than for PR. I think that these days he cares more about “staying on the wagon.”
@Jennier,
Hello, Eddie’s first wife was and is nuts, he likes crazy women.
Eddie probably does like having a partner who can take care of herself, and can even support the family if he’s not working – LOL at how people try and make this seem so sinister or a horrible character flaw. Anyway, Eddie may like LeAnn’s money, but she’s his type in other ways too.
@aaa-
A bit less of ‘staying on the wagon’, and a whole hell of a lot more staying on the gravy train. Priorities, and all.
Scheana is covering up because she told one of us personally that Eddie told her he was just with Leann for her money and to just give him some time. She also said they were screwing around when he was with Leann.
@ Josephina Eddie has a history of cheating starting with the woman Julianna he was suppose to be engaged to when he met Brandi. From Julianna to Brandi to Scheana and now to Leann. Eddie will never be true to any woman and rumored to have a side piece now. Eddie does not RESPECT women period but just uses them. He is not a man of character. He is a complusive liar. If he didn’t love and respect Brandi why did he stay with her have kids by her. I notice he is not eager to have any with Leann. Eddie is a trifling excuse for a male I will not call him a man. He respected and loved her enough to get out and work and support her and gave all the things Leann provides for him. He is angry because Brandi left him and outed him about the things he did to her and gave her that STD. When a man or woman is unfaithful it is the person being unfaithful that has the problem because Eddie has a pattern of it. Look at Eddie we he was married to Brandi and look at him now. He looks broken beaten and old .Plus his job opportunites are nil to none. Eddie still must be carrying a torch or Brandi would not be a topic of conversation.
@Betty –
Eddie did not marry LeAnn to get back at Brandi. Is that what you are thinking? LOL.
Brandi’s ego was deeply hurt by his cheating. Eddie marrying lover LeAnn, whom Brandi feels is a lot less attractive, … had to be a huge blow to her vanity.
And no, I do not think he wants Brandi back …for anything. She gave him 2 sons. He does not need her for anything else.
In that marriage his sense of entitlement was overwhelming and Brandi assisted in this dysfunctional thinking.
My point is he did not have to marry LeAnn. .. it was his CHOICE and he owns it.
If that is the case that is why Eddie and Leann show bombed because of their dissing of his ex and their behavior on their show The fact Eddie rarely works and gets to take vacations and have a lush life proves he married Leann for her money . Most men work and support their family not live off their wife’s income. When Eddie was married to Brandi he was the breadwinner , Brandi was a stay at home wife. It is apparent Eddie married Brandi for love because they were together for 5 years before he proposed and he had plenty of time to backout. His cheating means nothing he is still doing that. Leann knows but she will put up with it an Eddie knows it . Eddie referring to his best friend whose wife is Leann BFF was Brandi BFF when she was married to Eddie and they have kids the same age. Liz knew a lot of Brandi personal business an told Leann,That why she knew Brandi dentist, boob doctor etc. Leann got all the leftovers from Brandi marriage but she didn;t get the life.
@Betty-
Do you really think infidelity was Brandi/Eddie’s only problem? What part of Eddie did not value his marriage to Brandi are you NOT getting?
Infidelity is a SYMPTOM of many problems, dear. Biggest problem? Lack of respect.
Very difficult to stay married (and faithful) to someone you do not love or respect.
And the information you provided proves my point.
Eddie and LeAnn are not Brandi and Eddie, and therefore, will not have the same problems nor will use the same manner in which to resolve whatever problems they encounter.
Brandi’s life with Eddie is riddled with deception and lies–from courtship, marriage, and the birth of two children. Brandi has already pointed out that he cheated throughout their relationship and confessed to having a bad marriage.
Eddie has been clear about what he thinks of Brandi. Other than her being the mother of his children, he has nothing nice to say.
LeAnn has whatever Eddie allows her to have because he ALLOWS it.
I am not applauding the manner of how LeAnn got Eddie. I am stating that today LeAnn and Eddie equally enjoy their married life and enjoy having his sons included. Brandi has acknowledged this as well.
I have no concern for whom Eddie’s dong is doing.
Eddie & Leann appear to have made a deal. She supports his lie that he’s turning down acting offers to stay home with his boys (part time, with a nanny *cough*) & he spews forth the ridiculous lie that his wife doesn’t instigate drama with his children’s mother. She SWF’s Brandi, tries to engage her with tweets about “her sons” & is on fake accounts day and night. Truth does always prevail, and Leann & Eddie can count on that.
I LOVE Wendy! Her Hot Topics segments on Youtube give me life!
The only positive thing I can say about those two douches, is that Ed’s boobs look better than LeAnns. Their next reality show appearance should be on Botched!
lololoollolol, I love this
Yes, his are closer together and look more natural.
LOL
Deanne, you’re killing me! hahahahaha.
We all know Eddie is a seasoned liar.
Absolutely. He’s gross and old! He styles his hair like my grandfather does.
So glad I scrolled to find a relevant post, because this is all I see when I look at his new ‘do:
http://assets-s3.rollingstone.com/assets/images/artists/304×304/morrissey.jpg
He kinda ruined Morrissey for me. Dick.
WW cracked me up. Read the Washington Post article that was funny as anything. No one is buying what they are selling. It has been shown time and time again that Leann starts twitter fights with people. I mean she sued someone for crying out loud over things said on twitter.
Right, and didn’t she call that woman from a lunch she was having with her twitter fans who constantly attack Brandi? Lol, it’s just so insane to do something like that!
Yeah she did. I think they all suck but Leann and Eddie suck more.
i thought it was strange that she almost started crying when talking about all the work he turns down to be at home. i was really surprised to see how much she loves him. it was intimate. I havent seen the show but this interview makes me want to even more
That is because Leann supports him. and his kids He would not sing that tune if he was footing the bills. Eddie has not worked steady since he and Leann has been together that is why he got the nickname.s boytoy, keptman and gigilo. You notice her ex husband Dean was never given those labels.
Good grief, the MeAnn and Ediot trolls are out in force on this thread today.
Considering how many tweets are deleted by her, I don’t think her “timeline” presents an accurate picture. It’s probably more like 50/50.
Brandi is just as big an idiot as those two. All three of them – I wish we could send them to live on the Bikini Atoll (NERD HISTORICAL REFERENCE BONUS POINTS!!).
I was thinking the same thing in regards to the trolls. We are surrounded!!!👀
It signals the desperation. Kinda pathetic to watch people stan and try to convince people that the D-List country has-been who went to rehab for Twitter, and whose career has sunk in part due to crazy behavior through Twitter, has never “engaged.” LMAO.
I’m kinda wondering if heidi and hyena are actually the same person. Oh well, no difference, they’re still trollin’ and stanning.
LOL at your nerdy referential pun!
Signed,
Fellow Nerd
The Bikini Atoll is on my bucket list to go scuba diving there, so anywhere but there please. I’d like them to move to Mars.
Well, I had picked it because of the nuclear testing, but if it’s safe enough for scuba diving… let’s pick another radioactive site unfit for human habitation. I can think of several on this planet.
Ok is ^^^^Heidi ^^^^^ really LeAnn or Eddie?? Wow, blinders on where LeAnn’s concerned.
Hi Green_Eyes, enjoying your summer?
Could well be, but could also be her number one minion, Kiki, or number two minion ( and eveleigh crazy pintrest outer) Sarah Hertel.
I wonder what Sarah is getting out of the relationship? Falcor doesn’t have a friend who hasn’t been bought.
My understanding is that she is a budding photgrapher who was a sycophantic facebook fan , trying (in vain) to make a name for herself. She was allowed to follow LeAnus on ‘tour’ and take candids.
Ugh..her fashion choices are awful. I tried watching the sneak peak of the show and couldn’t finish it. Brandi is not a Girl Scout but they way they keep undercover shading her is so sad. If you don’t want to keep up mess here’s an idea. STOP TALKING/SHADING THE OTHER PERSON!!!! I see LeAnn and Eddie ending up like Tori and Dean.
You know, if these two idiots had had enough sense to just shut up about the cheating, I suspect their lives would be in very different places now. It’s not like they’re the only people in the entertainment industry who’ve done this, but I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone but LeAnn go so far out of her way to keep taunting the ex-wife, to the point that the ex was able to make a whole career for herself because LeAnn made her famous.
Seriously, it’s been how long? and they still seem desperate to try to make people like them. If they’d just keep low profiles, stop trying to poke Brandi on Twitter … Eh, who am I kidding? Twenty years from now, they’re still going to be putting ” their truth” out there.
They have both been told that time and time again. If they had just said we’re sorry and we apologize to our spouses for hurting them no one would be worried about them. Country music forgives people all kinds of things so she could have been really apologetic and just stayed off of all social media and concentrated on singing. She just got obsessed with what people were saying about her and trying her best to look like Brandi to keep Eddie from straying. This VH1 show was such a dumb @$$ idea I would like to know who there manager is and why they allowed them to do this.
They can’t. They are both too bitter about B, IMO.
He for being kicked to the curb, she for being unable to become the person he wanted most.
That’s some of it for sure, but the other thing is that they use Brandi’s children against her. That is the lowest of the low. All they had to do was shut up, have Brandi and her ex coparent quietly, and be respectful of BOTH exes. Dean is awesome, but he also doesn’t have kids with Leann, so his freedom is total. Brandi is stuck in a Groundhog Day nightmare, constantly forced to interact with those 2 because of the kids and having to deal with Leann treating the boys as though they’re pawns in her game. What kind of evil do you have to be to use someone’s kids against them, to use kids period and to try to completely destroy someone because they wouldn’t roll over and die and give up her life to you because you want(ed) it?
Once again, Vh1 and Leann hire the paps to stand outside the venue that Leann and Eddie are giving interviews at. If they are as popular as they want us to think, why didn’t the press even notice that her reality tv show had been out for a week before it’s actual airdate?
No one should be surprised that Leann and her fans are here planting comments on these sites, her show didn’t do well. Vh1 will play it off and do something shady to make the ratings appear high. Expect them to falsely say that the numbers were between 5-6 million and got more viewers than Nicole’s show. Leann is doing damage control. She bullied Entertainment Weekly, the one who made fun of her when her album Spitfire only sold 10,798 copies, to write a positive article about her show and she is on twitter retweeting the article along with photos from her interviews to show how much everyone loves her and Eddie. She also said that the reviews for her show have been all positive. Where? I hope The Washington Post doesn’t fall into the same trap as other press, praising Leann and her show after she sends her lawyer after them or calls their job to get them fired. They did a great job at calling Leann and Eddie out on their hypocrisy and lies. Leann is on her fake twitter account tweeting about the Washington Post article, so expect Washington Post to have a change of heart about Leann’s show. It’s what happens to everyone who disagrees with Leann.
The crayon herself decided to come out and play!
You just ragged on people for calling you Leann, and you’re pulling the same card, now? Kind of hypocritical, isn’t it?
And again – what the hell do you mean by ‘crayon’. It’s not even a witty insult. And the fact that you pass over people asking what you mean by that shows that you can’t even defend the insult you’re using.
you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Yeah, I agree with msw- you don’t really know what crayon means. If you are referring the the slang get your “cray on”, then you should be looking at MeAnn.
I hear what you’re saying but you are giving Leann too much credit as I don’t think she has that much influence with the Washington Post, etc.
I think the WP would laugh at any C&Ds that might be sent their way over the article. Their writer did the best job of describing this mess that I have ever read. The subjects are public figures with a brand-new show open for reviews, it is an OPINION article, and does not appear to have some type of malice.
Sending threatening letters and prevailing in a lawsuit (if filed) are entirely different matters. She of all people should realize that by now.
There’s no way they’re going to be able to say Nicole’s show got less viewers. Nicole’s show had major buzz on Twitter and all of her social media accounts have 10x more likes and retweets. L&E’s show flopped last night in comparison.
On CableRatingstv website, it showed that the $hitshow lost almost 200,000 of Nicole’s viewers. Nicole had 551,000 total and L&E had 374,000 total. And they had a .2 rating. Usually shows under .5 get cancelled.
The reason LR is saying that vh1 called her and said it was a success is because it got 19% higher ratings than whatever ridiculous crap vh1 aired it that time slot previously. I mean come on 19%?!?!?! LMAO Nicole’s show got 51% higher ratings from what previously aired. So compared to that LR show even bigger failure.
My life was so much better 5 minutes ago, before I knew who WW was. How I hate those shows!
I have followed the twitter fights in the past between these two and in more instances than not the instigator was Leann, absolutely. HOWEVER the craziness between the Leann fans and the Brandi fans is hysterical! Some of these women (and some men) put a ridiculous amount of time and energy into spewing out the most hate-filled and ugly comments to total strangers… it’s a strange thing. Just strange.
Yeah, the fighting between the fans can be a little disturbing… and a little bit sad.
Eddie always looks like he is dragging Leann in these handholding staged photo-ops. She wants to linger and let the paparazzi get good shots, and he just wants it to be over with so that he can do be with his mistress.
Leann and her fans are very upset about the WP review. She has been tweeting about it on her regular and fake account. If her show got positive reviews and high ratings why is she mad over 1 bad review? I’m glad that one blog took the initiative and called Leann and Eddie out on their lies and hypocrisy. Unfortunately, this will end like it always does. Leann threatens to sue or get the blogger fired and then the blogger writes nice things about Leann and hates on Brandi.
Leann also said that her show got a lot of positive reviews, but other than the EW she posted, I can’t find the positive reviews.
I’ve been reading these comments in such amusement. Wackadoodle LeAnn (Hyena, aka Heidi) isn’t even trying to not sound like LeAnn and she’s really flipping out. This is more drama than we usually get here at Celebitchy. It’s pathetic and transparent drama, but still a mildly amusing change. I do have a question, though, that I hope someone can answer: What in the world does in mean to call someone a crayon?
Does it mean that she’s colorful? That she’s so boring she’s only one color? That she’s thin? That’s she’s waxen? Really, I’m stumped, guys. Can some celebitches help me out here? 😉
This is my guess:
Everyone knows she’s “crazy” and so much so that she’s “cray-cray” therefore, everyone knows it’s time to get the “crazy on” or for short….here comes the crayon.
Or, it is meant to cast aspersions on a long & lean/skinny body type.
I googled it, and found both the reference Rita made plus a singer’s song titled CrayOn that basically means ‘crazy dragon’. Hmmm….
Every time I see a picture of them she’s got this dopey look on her face like she’s heavily sedated and she’s usually pointing at something like “oooooooh shiney.” And Eddie either has his hand around her waist or is pulling her by the hand like “come on honey. I’ll buy you some ice cream later if you don’t wander off.” Idiots.
Their show should be called: The ‘River of Denial’ Runs Deep.
Leann acts like they are Hollywood royalty now with all their interviews and photo ops. I find their smugness and arrogance hilarious. Leann finally has the loving, supportive Eddie she has always boasted about. Too bad it’s all for show right now. Never have I seen him look so happy and attentive in all their pics. Amazing transformation the last couple weeks. What I find most repulsive about this aging douche of a man is actually saying he never loved Brandi, was never happy and never respected her and never knew what love was. Then I came to conclusion only reason he said that is to justify all his cheating during their time together and his royal screwing of her in their divorce. As if statement like that would make everything he did okay. Fine if they want to do a reality show but my gosh stop acting like you two are the wronged parties. Leann has her little bandwagon of cronies gathering around her to crucify the people who dare speak negatively of Leann while they bash Brandi into the ground. Do they know the meaning of the word hypocrit? They are especially vicious in their comments. Just makes me sympathize with Brandi even more than I did already. Leann seems to attract really strange different thinking people.
He loved her as much as he can love anyone. I don’t think he has ever loved anyone, including Leann. I think he is too narcissistic to love anyone but himself. That said, what a POS for claiming he never loved his first wife, the mother of his children. I wish the boys never had to see him or his POS new wife again. I do not get what this “man” is thinking. The coughed insults, the vicious comments- Leann sucks, but this woman is the mother of the boys you swear you love. Never ever have I sensed one iota of regret from either of them for what they did and continue to do to Brandi.
Exactly. NO child wants to hear that their father never loved or respected their mother. That will come back to haunt him when the boys read that someday. I know the LR wackos will say Brandi bashed him. All Brandi did was SPEAK THE TRUTH. The truth is he IS a liar, douchebag, cheater.
It’s so depressing that he would say that, knowing that the boys would hear it. They’re at the ages now that they will, especially Mason. Not surprising considering he moved out of his home with Brandi and then moved in with Leann and began introducing her to the boys immediately while being hypersexual around them. He doesn’t give a damn how his behavior affects those kids.
This.
If a man tells you he doesn’t love you, he means it. No need to rearrange what he said. Accept it and move on.
If a man cheats and lies to you repeatedly, he does not love you. unfortunately we know of wives that stay married, so infidelity has the power of distorting the truth.
If a man remarries with one of his lovers, and that lover/wife gets permission from new husband to disrespect you in similar fashion, he really never respected you when you were with him.
The only reason Brandi is going through any crap today is because she had 2 children with Eddie. The children are the reason why Eddie and Brandi must communicate.
Eddie’s behavior have spoken louder than his words—- long before he actually said he did not love his wife while married to her. Those are hurtful words, but they actually match his deceitful and disrespectful behavior towards Brandi. Remember that Brandi’s courtship, marriage to Eddie and having his children did not stop Eddie from sleeping around or being deceitful to her. The sooner Brandi and HER FANS see this the easier it is for Brandi to learn self-constraint (one can only hope) and to completely disengage from everything Eddie and LeAnn.
This is not a matter of winning. There are no winners. This is a matter of moving on and not allowing the past hurtful events to last longer than it should. Brandi has already been exposed to 13 years of this man. Don’t give him anymore years. Engaging with Eddie/LeAnn allows more access to into her life. She has to cut off him off in order to start learning how not to react to him.
Totally correct, except that Brandi has kids with this man and shares custody. That’s where the problem lies. Dean was able to escape and never see Leann again. Brandi has two kids with this man, and he and the woman he married enjoy using those kids as tools and pawns in a vicious game against a woman who was already hurt. Eddie is an aging gigolo- who wants him? But the kids keep this problem alive because their mother is harassed and publicly disrespected and being on RHWBH or whatever it’s called is a double edged sword. It provides a living and some balance of power, but it also is a show that depends on villains and altered reality and makes people either love or hate Brandi.
If LeAnn and Eddie had just gone off and lived their lives quietly, they would have been so much better off. In fact, for those who love to hate Brandi, she probably wouldn’t even be on your radar. Neither would LeAnn and Eddie, though and that doesn’t seem to suit them. Eddie was C-list at best and he is pretty boy who can’t really act and LeAnn’s glory days were long over, but she still had her past success and her dignity. They could have given the boys their privacy and taken their bi-weekly vacations without employing their own personal paparazzi and no one would have been the wiser. Instead they launched a campaign to crush his ex-wife and convince everyone on the planet that they are the love story of the century. THEY created Brandi Glanville the public figure out of their own cruelty, callousness and arrogance. She was left with nothing and took the opportunities that were offered to her because she had to make a decent living. She owes them nothing. They are still trying to sell the public on “their side” after almost five years. Everyone knows their side already. Hell, she wrote an entire album about her side. Of course Eddie loved Brandi and respected her. Would you have two children in an 8 year marriage with someone you neither loved or respected? Maybe if you married for money . Sure he doesn’t love her now but he’s lying to himself to say he never did. He comes across like he’s actually still hung up on Brandi. Not that he wants her back, but that he’s mad he couldn’t have his cake and eat it too. He wouldn’t say such hurtful things if he wasn’t. LeAnn is just sad. Everyone would have forgiven and forgotten and moved onto the next scandal had she laid off the “bonus mom” crap but she couldn’t resist, because, for some bizarre reason, she’s obsessed with Brandi too. That mutual obsession and her money seem to be the glue that keeps their marriage together. That and their crappy reality show.
Great post!! So much truth.
Thank you. I’m sorry it was so long and rambling but those two make me feel really stabby with their holier than thou crap. They are both so arrogant and apparently really stupid, because they try to place blame on someone they victimized, for their bad public relations, rather than looking at what they’ve done to flush their careers and reputations.
I completely agree. Leann and Eddie started this whole thing–if Eddie had just done right by his ex wife, then none of this would’ve happened.
This whole situation reminds me of the ending of my grandpa’s fourth marriage, and the beginning of his fifth. Basically he threw a woman out who had been with him for seven years (married for one), who had been taking care of their three kids (twins were from a previous relationship, so not even biologically hers), and basically ruined her. Since she hadn’t adopted the twins, he told her that if she tried to fight him in the divorce, then he wouldn’t ever let her see ANY of the kids–and so she didn’t, because she was scared of not being able to see her kids anymore. And THEN two weeks before he married his last wife, he asked the previous one if he could come back, and stop the divorce proceedings…she told him hell to the no.
And the sad, end result of this is that those twins (my dad and uncle) lost their mother. I mean, REALLY lost their mother. They called her ‘mom’….up until their dad threw her out and brought someone else in–now SHE’S ‘mom’, even though for the past five years, she’s been doing her best to tell all of us that the only kid she considers to be hers (out of 4) is the one that SHE gave birth to. And my (nice) grandma lost her kids–their relationship is irreparably damaged because of that–they call her by her name, they aren’t as close anymore, because of their father.
And all I can think about is what would’ve happened if my grandma HAD taken him back, when he asked her. But that’s really why I always feel bad for Brandi–because I swear to God–we would’ve been in a Leann/Brandi situation (except I don’t think my ‘nice’ grandma would’ve responded) if there had been twitter or facebook back in the seventies and eighties.
That’s really heartbreaking. I guess I’m naive, but people continue to amaze me with how cruel and selfish they can be. If my step-monster had had access to Facebook and Twitter, it wouldn’t have been pretty. She makes LeAnn look like an amateur.
Well said, Deanne. If Leann and Eddie were meant to be and madly happy, they would understand to shut up, be kind to Brandi, be respectful of the failed marriages (Leann has insulted her 1st as well) and have Brandi and Eddie co-parent their sons amicably or at least civilly. Instead, their united desire to destroy someone who wouldn’t lay down and die when they wanted her to is all that pushes them right now. Eddie has no acting jobs but pretends it’s for his sons- why not pretend to have a civil relationship with his ex, then, for the sake of his kids? Leann’s record bombed miserably and now their show is a failure and they are getting horrible reviews. Who do they decide is at fault? Brandi. Even though they have an entire show based on their venom for her and even though she’s stayed quiet about it, whatever her motives, it’s somehow her fault in their minds.
Hit it right on the head! Brandi grabbed all the opportunities offered and turned lemons into lemonade. That’s why Leann hates her so much. Brandi was just supposed to go away, and Leann would get what she wanted, as she has her entire life. Ha! Not this time, loser!
I know there won’t be and good reviews of their “Bashing Brandi” show, but are there any half-way sympathetic ones? The three or four I’ve seen are trashing it, and calling them self-centered and smug. One review said it was the worst show in history. Wonder how these two smug people are going to handle all the negativity. Deny it?
The ratings came out and the show didn’t make the top 100….Dog with a Blog and Honey Boo Boo did. Stick a fork in this show, it’s done.
I read one review that was only 50% negative. Must have been the best review out there because LeAnn herself tweeted the link to it.
Okay I need to make one comment-Leann Rimes has always been able to sing and still has a wonderful voice. A real voice-not an edited over voice like Jennifer Lopez, Brittany,ect.
Everything else I agree with.
Apparently you did not see her appearance on The View the other day, your ears would still be bleeding.
Leann has a very good core voice, but has never had any training, or so she brags. So instead of growing, like a Celine Dion, she just keeps repeating bad habits, hence the mumbling and intelligible words. Anyone with any type of talent works constantly to improve their skills, be it a baseball player or a singer.
Yeah, that was horrid. What the hell happened to her one redeeming quality? She is vile and awful but the girl could sing…or at least she used to be able to sing. What the hell was the ballad with the ‘dance beat’ supposed to be? I am so embarrassed for her!
I know that we have this debate from time to time here, about LeAnn’s net worth. How long has it been since she had a commercial success? Did she really make enough money back in the Blue days to support this lifestyle for the rest of her life? Eddie does not look like an inexpensive man to keep. Just wondering.
I have the feeling she’s really burning through her money. She hasn’t had a big commercial success for almost a decade. She didn’t write her hits from the nineties either and that’s where the money is. I highly doubt peoples claims she’s broke but I think she has a lot less liquid assets than her enablers think she has. A heavily mortgaged home ( only one), leased cars, rented rv’s for vacations etc. she doesn’t seem to own a whole lot. She may have had people make good investments on her behalf but she paid her ex a lot to go away quietly and is now paying for a luxurious lifestyle for Eddie. The dregs of her past success can’t last forever.m
My thoughts on this show ~ leann is extremely catty/jealous and in competition with other women hence why she sleeps with married men (eddie wasn’t the first). Mistresses goal is always to ruin the marriage & win. Again why mistresses will always make certain the wife finds out. So no big love story here. She won this loser by default.
Eddie~ Once a cheater always a cheater. He thinks only of himself & will lie through his teeth to women telling them what they want to hear to get them under his spell. It’s all an ego trip with him.
The show~ proves what everyone said all along. Leann is clingy and desperate to win. Eddie is a liar and master manipulator. Both looks even more unattractive in this show then in pics. All this show seemed to have accomplished is more book sales and interest in brandi. Again they have failed at winning.
Spot on.
Hey Ediot, what’s it like waking up every morning staring at those huge nostrils. Man, you traded down big time.
the number are out and the show tanked. Only 374,000 watched it, and only 252,000 in the 18-49 range which is the range that counts for the demo #. also only scored a .2 which is below cancellation #’s which is .5 and below according to this tidbit…
” A 1.0 would be considered a very successful show. Anything below a .8 gets into iffy territory, while anything below a .5 gets into cancellation territory.”
Heres ratings for other shows in same time slot..
Pawnography – 2,176,000
House Hunter Intl – 1,429,000
Leah Remini – 824,000
Don’t Be tardy – 743,000
Snack Off – 670,000
Leann & Eddie – 374,000
Note: I saw this info on GR, im just summarizing it for quick info you can see full report and links over there.
VH1 would have gotten better ratings if they put a test pattern on from 10:30-11:00pm.
I would watch that. 😉
I love brin! Lol
Dating Naked was in the top 100 and Candidly Nicole was ahead of Leann& Eddie, Leann had the nerve to tweet SUCCESS and stated one the execs told her it did well. That show is one and done. I notice she is not tweeting and boasting about it. So she knows the score.
Candidly Nicole is awful. I love Nicole and really admired how her life had gone, but she just plays the juvenile snarky chick she played back years ago with Paris. And it’s just not funny. It’s more contrived than when she was naturally funny and snarky. There are no storylines. Parallel parking? Dating a guy on the internet for her friend? Yawn. I went and read a review and basically said what I thought and how uninteresting it is at this age. Nicole is smarter than this and it was disappointing to watch. Also Nicole is painfully thin. I try to stand up for her sometimes when she’s slender, but certain scenes it’s all you could think about.
Then I really looked forward to Leah Remini’s show. It was so bad. It’s the first shows and they have zero storyline. They were resorting to her mother wanting a fake funeral so they could write nice things about her. Gag me. And Leah kept mugging for the cameras and trying to make her mother funny and adorably whacky but it was all so contrived. I cringed. I go and read a review on that and the same thing was said. That she talks to the camera but tries to be so funny but it just sounds fake. Leah is so talented, but what a waste.
Those two shows are bad, but they are getting better than LeAnn because ‘LeAnn has no fans. Just the haters tuned in. At least Leah and Nicole have fans.
I agree about Nicole’s show. She is better known and pulled in more viewers for that reason. She really is playing the juvenile minded prankster she was to Paris years ago.
I think part of the L&E ratings problem is that these two aren’t that well known today (seriously). If fans and haters alike watched, I doubt it would crack 500,000.
VH1 doesn’t seem to cancel mid-season. They’ll cancel it at the end, and Leann and Eddie will pretend that they have’t been telling all the interviewers this whole time they wanted a 2nd season.
Someone asked where the positive press is that she is mentioning. There absolutely hasn’t been ANY. I truly think she is counting when interviewers tell her they like it, which…duh, Leann. Moron.
I think Eddie would have been better off if he had chosen Scheana (?) Marie as wife # 2. Of course that would have meant he would actually have to WORK to support himself and his family since I doubt her waitress job brings in the $.
So their show bombed big time after all the tacky promotion they did. How is LeAnn going to explain this away? Will she beg VH1 not to cancel it and she’ll go over the top in trying to instigate Brandi? They truly don’t get that constantly bashing the ex wife turns people off. Thankfully Brandi has been quiet through this whole promotion with LeAnn and Eddie bashing her. Girl has more self control than I would in her situation.
Not only did they do all sorts of interviews and ‘promotion’ this week, but this show has been mentioned for nearly a year. That’s a tremendous amount of lead time, just like her album had.
And what ‘star’ tells their ‘haters’ to watch because “you know you wanna”? Even if that’s true, who does that? Not everyone is a ‘hater’, and saying that kind of nonsense can turn off potential viewers.
I don’t think they will just sit back and wait for week two. Either there will be much wailing and gnashing behind the scenes or some public attention seeking effort to get more viewers next week.
She put out a Twitlonger titled Success. She’s claiming the show did really well and is a huge hit. She even thanks the haters. They didn’t even make the top 100 and they lost 200,000 viewers from the preceding show. Viewership usually drops off after the premiere as well, so what will that mean for next week? I don’t think there is a single aspect of LeAnn’s life or personality, that has any authenticity. Her album bombed and she claims it was a personal success. Their show bombs and she claims everyone is thrilled, even when you look at the ratings other shows got. and clearly see it didn’t do well at all. Dog with a Blog got higher ratings, which is hilarious. They’ve been promoting it relentlessly and probably at great expense and still, they only succeeded in turning people off even more, yet she claims they’ve only heard positive things. Who have they been talking too? Each other?
I think Brandi has a lot more self control than she gets credit for. Based on all the crap they put her through in public, I can only imagine what that poor woman has had to endure in private.
With all the hurtful and stupid things said this week, I do give her credit for not engaging. If I were Brandi, I would have probably had to have my devices hidden from me, because I would be tempted to take a few little jabs like Dean did (which I found hilarious).
Of course, the difference is that Dean doesn’t have a forever tie with the ex via children, yet Brandi has to continue to with deal him / them.
Brandi has said zero zip because to do so is what they want and gives them publicity for the show. Brandi is no stranger to this. She has done the same thing for herself when she needed publicity. She was actually quiet disgusting in interviews for the first book blabbing about anything to sell it and the second even. Then she always says she will stop after the book tour and she does basically.
But Brandi isn’t dumb. To respond in any way with back and forth she knows could bring in viewers for them, and she wants them to fail. She comes out blabbing about them whenever she’s selling her books and shuts up immediately afterwards. So she will save this for when it benefits her to talk about it whether on her podcast or a new book or even a few comments for her show, but only after they’ve flopped and are off the air. She’s no saint. She’s just playing it smart and it must be killing them. She’s not playing into it.
It’s really refreshing and satisfying that people who previously withheld judgement due to lack of evidence/knowledge about the ulterior motives of these two tw@ts now can see very, very clearly what they are all about. I’m not certain at this point if I should feel a little pity toward them, since he seems to fit neatly into NPD, and she into BPD(borderline, not bipolar) {allegedly} pigeonhole, or if I should loathe them all the more for their revisionist storytelliing. They are two very vile and despicable human beings. If you want to label them human. At all.
