Back in the fall of 2014, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian got served with a lawsuit from their former maid. The maid, Gloria Cevallos, claimed that she was being bullied and insulted by two other women on LeAnn and Eddie’s staff, and that Eddie’s mother encouraged LeAnn and Eddie to fire her, Gloria. Gloria wanted back pay and a “front pay,” meaning she wanted them to pay her salary until she found another job. LeAnn got on her high horse and threw a hissy fit to and about TMZ’s reporting on the lawsuit, and LeAnn claimed that Gloria was all about the “shameless money grab,” something LeAnn would know about from Eddie, amirite? My recommendation (not that they asked me) was to simply give Gloria a one-time-only settlement and shuffle her on her way. After all, God knows what kinds of secrets Gloria has kept all this time. And now it sounds like that’s just what they did!
Eddie Cibrian & LeAnn Rimes’ former maid who took out the trash and claimed she was trash-talked in their home has settled her beef with them. Gloria Cevallos dismissed her lawsuit against the couple, which she filed 2 years ago after getting the ax.
Gloria claimed Eddie and LeAnn allowed their other employees to terrorize her, calling her old and fat. The maid’s lawyer, Joseph Farzam, wouldn’t tell us the terms of the confidential settlement, but these things generally go away with the help of a little moolah.
Fact is … famous people don’t like lawsuits, because dirty laundry almost never smells good.
Well, the fact that this took about fifteen months to work out means that there was no real sense of urgency on either part, although I’m sure Gloria issued some threats and I’m sure LeAnn cried into her pile of skimpy bikinis. My guess is that the settlement went no higher than very low six figures, maybe even less than that. Plus a confidentiality agreement, because LeAnn does love her NDAs.
Last thing: you know how Brandi Glanville showed the receipts last Thursday and allowed a blog to publish a copy of the email that Brandi sent Eddie about the holiday photos of their kids on LeAnn’s social media? Well, after Brandi’s email got wide play, this is what LeAnn tweeted:
Brandy's "Begging and Pleading" on repeat @4everBrandy #sogood #soulsista
— LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (@leannrimes) January 8, 2016
Tacky. Very, very tacky.

These two creeps deserve each other. I hope they make each other miserable til the bitter end.
You mean Brandi and LeeAnn? Lol
This is why, as effed up as Brandy is, with the drinking and the outrageous bs she throws up, LeAnn, for me, will always be THE WORST.
SAY what you will about Brandy’s letter, it was heartfelt, and it was clear she was imploring Eddie to curb Leann making her children PR props on the holidays for her social media accounts.
LeAnn obviously needs validation not only from twitter, Eddie, and Eddie’s sons that she’s better than Brandy, she wants to convince people she’s the most adored ‘mom’ figure. She has long ‘single white femaled’ Brandy, to the extent I think Brandy is actually her real obsession.
@ Bossykat: I think Brandy and LeAnn are both narcissistic black holes of need, just in different ways. They deserve each other, tbh.
@Tate. I happen to agree, they belong together. If only they could just go away, that’s one pipe dream to come true.
That woman is nothing but tacky! BTW Gloria was the boys nanny from the Cibrian/Glanville home. So I’m guessing she would have had lots of tea.
I’ve read some comment sections over the months. One person who installed a satellite a couple of years ago claimed she was a total bitch, Then another people who worked at a hotel she was staying at said she was out of control with demands. Most of the demands were of a personal nature which was inappropriate for a staff member to handle but should have been handled by a personal assistant.
A couple of years ago, someone who helped with a charity event claimed she demanded a certain trail mix have one certain item (raisins?) removed.
Not that they could just buy an alternate type that didn’t have the offending item — she allegedly wanted a particular type to be sorted by hand. By someone else. At a charity event.
Well, if that really happened, hopefully the person agreed, went to the restroom for a nice long break, touched all the handles and flushers while in there, then “forgot” to wash their hands before leaving said restroom and went on to sort LeAnn’s nuts. 🙂
@Truth – Exactly!
When she / they do something really stupid that makes headlines, sometimes a commenter on mainstream sites will say they’ve had some type of negative experience. The comments fascinate me far more than the subject matter.
It’s this kind of passive aggressive bulls**t that makes me despise LeAnn (I’m referencing the tweet about Brandy). And of course she paid off this woman and required that she sign a NDA…..how amazing would it be someday for someone to really spill the beans? Haha!!
What beans? They all spil everything on social media by themselves….😄
LOL this is true 😉
Exactly! Also I don’t really understand Twitter so I don’t totally follow the tweet other than to ascertain it’s juvenile and very rude. I hope the kids miraculously end up more mature.
@paleokifaru, I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand tweets 90% of the time.
Speaking of beans someone she use to be related to has returned to social media after a long hiatus. I’m surprised they left old information up for everyone to read. I honestly thought there was a chapter in her life that everything was calm due to a guiding influence. Boy was I wrong. It seems that LeAnn was still up to shenanigans and nothing really changed with her. They claimed she was never really a big fan of children which makes her overenthusiastic attitude toward Eddie’s kids not genuine..
@funcakes
where might inquiring minds find such gems and beans?
Is it Dean’s sister you’re referring to?
I’m right with you @paleokifaru and @Zwella: don’t really get Twitter either LOL! I’m curious funcakes, who returned to social media….her ex Dean?? I’ve always wanted him to really rip into her, but I guess he is bound by legal agreements and class 😉
I found Dean’s sister on Twitter!!! This s**t is hilarious…..she is just ripping LeAnn and Eddie a new one and it’s glorious!!!!! Dean doesn’t have to say anything…..his sister is doing it perfectly for him!
I’ll just say not Dean but you’re red hot.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t follow it!
I came across an article other day of old, old history of this twit from Andrew Keegan days. Seems she has always been rude, entitled and generally obnoxious. She loved to brag about the promise ring “Andrew” bought her and how in love they were. She bought and paid for him too. Her history makes her chalk talk of love and gratitude a joke.
Anyhoo, thing I find hardest to believe with this maid story, is they could afford that much hired help. The woman has to be almost at the living paycheck to paycheck point and she hardly works. While casino gigs pay decent they are not that lucrative at the ones she plays.
Yep, I was wondering how they are paying for any help, and lawsuits, these days. I guess Clown is doing it for her.
She wanted the maid because she had been Brandi’s. LeLe be CrayCray
Speaking of old stuff, the counter suit accusations when she sued her father are also amazing. She allegedly spent a bundle on AK as a teen, plus some other guy who was a trainer or bodyguard. Her father also had concerns about how she was treating fans and her career.
That’s why I don’t think her recent behavior is new. Somehow Dean managed kept a lid on it, but thanks to Eddie and social media, it’s in full bloom again.
So she sued Andrew Keegan as a teen??? WTF….for what???? I knew about the lawsuit with her father. I always thought Dean handled her affair with such class. He didn’t trash her when I am sure he probably had a million reasons to. I do remember seeing an interview with him in recent years basically saying that LeAnn trashed her career by divorcing him (referencing the whole scandal with Eddie). Truer words were never spoken!
Oh no, I don’t think she sued him. Her father outlined a bunch of allegations regarding men and money. Articles are still floating around on the web about the countersuit claims, but basically her father claimed she was spending huge sums of money on AK, his mother and some other guy.
@Christin She did try to get money back from Andrew Keegan and some Robert fellow who was her trainer and bodyguard. Maybe she didn’t actually sue them, but she had lawyers involved. One thing about Marge is she loves using her lawyers to bully people.
I wonder if she also settled with the special education teacher? its been documented that she tried to avoid all deposition which she was charged for missing. I believed they eventually settled but to who’s advantage?
That was a wacky case with one fan call the teacher for LeAnn. Then another fan giving out personal information (about the children none the less) and then taken to court for it.
Good grief, more ‘leannigans’ than I realized! I did try to search on any new news about the dentist lawsuit. Crickets.
@funcakes – IIRC, the teacher lawsuit was dropped and no one could comment.
It’s not new. I know I’ve commented about it on other stories on here as have other people. People try to paint her as only becoming this bitchy or disowned by country music since the affair. Her reputation and asshattery definitely precedes Eddie.
There are old forums out there someone posted a link to once, that are from years before Eddie, where fans complained about how terrible she was. I remember especially some hilarious drama about a fan club president quitting because they were embarrassed to be stanning for her bad behavior, tendency to fake being sick to get out of concerts, meanness to fans, etc.
And on those old forums, lots of discussion about industry people not liking her and thinking she was a spoiled brat. They also were complaining about her indecipherable singing style back then too. The only change, IMO, is more people know now because she exposes herself so much through social media.
I just found an old forum filled with tidbits. And, articles claim the trainer was brought up on extortion charges for allegedly wanting a chunk of money and a Ferrari, or else he might sell videos and others items to a tabloid.
She had a colorful life long before age 20.
@Christin- lay it on me with a link! I have some time to kill ;p
The rabbit hole I entered is called Planet Garth forum. Google it and her name, for threads galore, circa late 1990s-early 2000s.
If anyone has better ones, feel free to toss down some crumbs for us to follow!
@Christin: hilarious right? that’s not the one that I had seen before but it’s all the same. Even in the 90s she was being called out for her narcissism, crappy attitude and no-shows. I wonder if part of why the country music world turned on her over the ‘going pop’ issue is they had such little love left for her then in the first place.
@Claire – I expected to see more ardent fans on the two forums I read today, but most people preferred other singers of the era and thought she had an ego, was a complainer, etc.
My personal recollection is that she was a big deal for a brief time, then went pop, sued her dad, record company, etc., (not necessarily in that order) and fizzled out pretty quickly. FWIW, I personally thought she was overhyped from day one, which did her no favors.
@Christin: There were quite a few things she did that I think killed the goodwill for her back then. Snotty attitude, boasting, several instances of temper tantrums (award show ones), suing her dad, bad mouthing other singers, the no-shows, and then stuff like smart-alecky wearing a Daddy t-shirt when she was hosting an award show, in the midst of her lawsuit against her dad. Just generally tacky stuff, very similar to the passive-aggressive, not all that sneaky of jabs that she takes at Brandi now. The playbook literally has not changed for her. She is still acting like the immature bratty teenager she was then.
Between the fact that her taste and new music is so dated, and therefore most don’t care about her these days, and the bad will she’s got with the industry, I don’t see her career ever recovering.
The only time I hear her (older) music is at a discount grocery store I occasionally visit, and the farm store where I sometimes buy my pet supplies. Nowhere mainstream, and certainly not on our local radio (other than one station that occasionally plays the song Trisha Y did better).
Please don’t tarnish my mother’s name–Marge–by associating it with LeAnn!!!
Allegedly the trash talk was among two other employees. I assumed it was two other maids, but now I can think of two other ’employees’ who hang around the Cibs.
There’s a certain person in her camp that seems to have lasted longer than anyone else. They seem to be a lot alike in age (mentally 12) even though one is older and should know better.
I noticed since the first round of battles with Brandi that most of her entourage, who use to support LeAnn, is no longer around. But this one person seems to not be going anywhere anytime soon
Is it because of loyalty or do they thrive off the drama?
I wonder if LeAnn stay because of loyalty or because this person can cause alot of damage. They have the key to all the skeletons in her closet. And they seem to be just as vicious as her.
Do they still have to sign a confidentiality agreement after all this time I wonder?
Because we all know if there was ever a messy parting this person can be just as lethal and somehow leek information.
I guess it depends on how official the employment is. She may not have a lot of formal agreements in place with that person. The other person is probably NDA’d to the hilt, though, because they are clearly on the payroll (and I suspect wearing a lot of hats in the household).
Wonder where all the borrowed girlfriends are and if they signed NDAs? I’ve always wondered who leaks some of the more interesting stories to the tabloids that seem to pop up when Eddie appears almost over it.
Christin, I always thought the leaks were Ediot, grabbing some spending money.
Brandi is a pill and a mess, but LeAnn is truly the more despicable of the two, imo.
I think LeAnn is unstable and has a terrible malicious streak. Thank goodness that doesn’t seem to extend to hating the kids too but she doesn’t exactly handle that well either. So I agree with the caveat that I actually think it’s Eddie that’s the worst and he doesn’t get nearly enough blame.
The boys are still young. Once they start telling her no on a regular basis, she’s going to lose it. She holds the purse strings in that household and will no doubt use money to manipulate and coerce them into doing what she wants. The thing is, at some point, it won’t work. She does have a really malicious streak and will no doubt unleash it on the boys eventually, when they won’t follow her script. She’s done this to everyone in her life who makes her angry. She’s so vindictive, she sued a woman who wasn’t a fan, she herself called and harassed. She sued her own Father. She went after Andrew Keegan when they broke up. She doesn’t handle the word no well. Eddie’s a completely worthless person. He has no morals and no work ethic. He was horrible to Brandi and I have no doubt he’s horrible to LeAnn. She can’t admit it because he was supposed to be a prize, but I’m sure he treats her like garbage. The very fact he’s let her take all the blame for their relationship, says it all.
As Deanne mentions, more independent behavior is coming soon, and my guess is it will not go over well. Dad will likely have to ultimately make a choice between money and his relationship with his sons.
He may have already made that decision, but there could be an epiphany once the battles start WITH the kids instead of OVER them.
So true about Eddie. He’s slime.
So true Deanne, she already passive-aggressively disses Mason. Wait till her favorite Jakey gets older and starts speaking out and rebelling. She will “get her feelings hurt”, her ego and low self esteem won’t be able to take it. I would hate for her vindictive attitude towards Brandi get directed towards the boys. As always Eddie is the biggest ass in all of this since he would still choose money over his kids.
There is no doubt in my mind he would choose the money over his children. I’m sure falcor knows it too.
I’m waiting for the day that ugly smug smile gets wiped off her face. Where is karma anyway? She had been vindictive, malicious, arrogant, and ignorant to everyone who crosses her path unless she can use them, for 2 decades now. She is either going to end up alone or having to buy a husband to stay with her.
I think Eddie’s plan is to dry out the money and move on… So in a few years, there will be no choice to make because Leann will be broke.
Noticed that LeAnn is getting super skinny again. The last time she was this thin the narcotic, bizarre behavior was at an all time high like now.
Maybe she’s back on those special “VITAMINS “.
I just love Karma, don’t you? She is worrying herself into being thin again, not to mention taking God knows what pills and exercising so she can be as thin as Brandy again. If Eddie is looking at hot young “thangs”, she has competition. I am sure that one picture Eddie took with that model at the Miami Swimsuit fashion week a year or two ago just turned her inside out. Leann was a “chunky monky” compared to that model. Let’s not forget her “accident” I still cannot get the visual of her mess on her dress. DISGUSTING.
@Jane I love that picture of Eddie with that GORGEOUS model at the Miami fashion
show. He has the biggest smile on his face and Leann is in the back ground holding her sharted on dress, she could not leave Ediot at the show alone so she could change she had to hang and watch him with her dirty dress on. She is vile!
@trickgirl I am glad you saw the picture as well. I agree 100%, she is vile!
That’s not the only passive aggressive comment that Leann made about Brandi. She is on instagram posting lots of passive aggressive comments about Brandi too.
Leann also announced that Jake and Mason will be spending Valentine’s Day with her this year. Last year, Leann took Eddie, Jake, Mason, and Kiki to the desert and bragged about the cake and the family plaque she had made.
That’s the only way she can get Eddie to spend any time with her. Other wise her would be at a poker game like thanksgiving. Anyone honestly think that they would have lasted this long if Ed had no children?
Notice not a lot of talk about Eddie on her tweets or Instagram when the boys are home with their mother. Eddie has dates to keep and poker to play.
Nah. They’d be done by now for sure.
i read that as ‘the family plague she had made’
lmao
Plague – That made me lol!
I have a feeling that LeAnn will see the inside of a courtroom again soon. I’m hoping all of this surrogate talk is just a red herring. BUT! What if it comes to fruition? I can see it all going down Sherri Shepherd-style, with Eddie agreeing to it, filing for divorce after the baby is born and fighting for sole custody so he can get that child support. It’s the perfect solution for him: He gets out of a miserable marriage, scores a steady check and can drop the baby off at his Mommy’s whenever he wants to go chase strange.
Yes, tacky. And mean-spirited. Shows how much empathy LR has for anyone else on this planet. Can’t believe she’s never let go of her negative feelings against Brandi, no matter how many times she’s screwed Brandi over, even to the point of using Brandi’s kids. Way too much on LR’s part. Hopefully EC will use up all of LR’s money very soon and find himself another rich, desperate woman to marry but one that isn’t in the spotlight and isn’t on social media. If not, I can see LR still texting away on her phone or whatever when she’s 60.
If he does find someone else, they will end up all over social media thanks to the uncontrollable stalking and tweeting of a certain twit.
I thought the maid was going to prove the comments here right, but it wasn’t even Leann doing the harassing. It looks like Eddie cibrian and his mom might be the jerks in the situation, too, but Leann is the one who has to pay the maid off so of course she’s mad.
Leann also keeps posting quotes on her chalkboard about how she isn’t going to stop doing what she is doing and that she isn’t listening to that inside voice and people who try to discourage her from creating or being herself. Leann is evil. She says that she loves Jake and Mason, but if she loved Jake and Mason she would stop posting about them instead of posting quotes on the chalkboard and instagram about how she is going to ignore Brandi’s request and keep right on doing what she wants to do.
Leann is so miserable being married to Eddie that the highlight of her day is sitting on twitter and instagram posting passive aggressive comments about Brandi.
Leann is also a hypocrite. She posts about bullying and then on instagram she is writing hearts and lols to people who are very public about their harassment of Brandi. Does it sadden Eddie that his kids will go on the internet and see their stepmother engaging with people who harass their mother?
It’s baffling that her lame brain followers on Instagram constantly praise her for being mature, smart, full of love, having it all together and figured out.
I don’t know any well-adjusted person that has to spend hours a day on Pinterest finding quotes to “lift themselves up” as she calls it. Something is really wrong in life if they need to do that to get through each day. Her idiot fans have trouble connecting the dots though.
Yes, you know there a special breed of people when they ask her to put all chalk talk in a book when the original author has already done it. All they have to do is Google her chalk talk and go to amazon to buy the book she quoted from.
Personally I think Eddie is void of emotion. He might be too wasted most of the time.
Considering Dean said that LeAan lives and dies by what people think of her, she must be in a constant state of frustration. The vast majority of the public think she’s a horrible persom, a has been and that her husband is with her for what’s left of her money. Even people who don’t like Brandi at all, think LeAnn’s an inappropriate step-parent and don’t believe she’s living out the love story of the century for a second. Her fan base is tiny. She only sold 2.000 Christmas albums. Many of her fans bought multiple copies. That’s pathetic. Imagine how much more she paid to produce it. Even if she didn’t pay the maid a huge settlement, she still has been paying her lawyer for two years to handle this and it’s her money. Eddie has no money, I really thnk that she’s going to end up financially ruined and alone. Eddie’s not going to stick around if the money’s gone. I guess she can always move in with Johanna. At least she’s loyal.
There have been rumblings of bankruptcy. I’m sure most of her troubles would be solved if she filed and just start over again while consulting with a financial adviser. But LeAnn’s going to do what she wants.
She can’t have much money left. Her home has multiple mortgages. Her vehicles are leased. She’s making nothing off of record sales and most of her concerts are half full and have to offer two for one ticket deals. Eddie earns so little that he’s able to pay the minimum legal amount in child support, so we know he’s not contributing. You’re right that she’ll do whatever she wants. She’s spent like a drunken sailor for almost 20 years, despite blowing her peak earning years and her career circling the toilet. So much for all of the amazing things she claims to have planned. Wonder how she’ll spin the bankruptcy? Probably with plagiarized quotes.
In the second photo of LeAnn (the one where she’s wearing a white dress with black vomit looking splatter all over it), it looks like there’s a tiny little tit with a nipple peeking out under that rat’s nest hair. Sorry, but it made me laugh.
I just cannot get past that blooming smug look on her face. Ugh!
I hope Mason and Jake get social media accounts and write tell all books one day, LeAnn will lose her mind. Those boys will ALWAYS side with their mother, no matter what, dad and LeAnn will be the ones who broke up their family and I guarantee they are already protective of Brandi because of that, kids know emotions and there’s truly no bond like mother and child, LeAnn is screwed there.
I agree with all the comments here, I bet Eddie treats her like crap in the form of “I’m just joking” and she puts up with it since he’s still with her and ignores her enough so she can spend all day posting online “proving” people wrong.
LeAnn’s only way to have love in her life is to pay for it. She couldn’t even begin to understand the depth of the Mother child bond. She’s paid her own Mother’s bills for years, hence the co-depency and turning a blind eye to LeAnn’s horrible behaviour. I’m shocked that she hasn’t had the boys names and faces tattooed onto her body. You know, since they’re her ” babies”.
Ever heard the story of how her first hit was saved for decades, just for the ‘right’ singer? Maybe not.
From CMT–
“After Mack arranged a recording contract for Rimes with Curb Records, the label sent out a release with the single of “Blue” that claimed the DJ had been waiting over 30 years to find the right vocalist to sing it. The story was an exaggeration: “Blue” had been recorded by no less than three different artists, including Bill Mack and Kenny Roberts, who both released versions on Starday in the ’60s, and in 1993, Kathryn Pitt released the record as a single in her native Australia. Nevertheless, the story was repeated throughout the country and mainstream music press, adding to the growing myth that Rimes was the successor to Cline’s tradition.”
She’s a legend in her own mind.
Apparently she’s been exposed to ‘exaggerations’ since she was a child, too. All that fawning and grooming so she could be the breadwinner. If more humility were evident, I could feel sorry for her.
I never hear any of her new music anywhere. Only her old one hit wonder song, if Coyote Ugly is on tv.
So true her Mama raised her thinking she was God’s gift from birth! Apparently she had a difficult time conceiving and when she finally did become pregnant with Leann, she had a dream where angels told her that her child was going to be siper special and would use her voice to heal and make people happy all over the world.
Anyway, she was raised basically believing something like that.. that she was sent by angels and god to help people and she was told that her entire life. (I’ve now rolled my eyes so hard I have to go get them from the other room ;-p)
She’s getting more fugly as she ages and gets poorer every year……
