LeAnn Rimes: I Don’t Earn My Money From Hurting People Or Trying to Get in Tabloids

(GettyImages.com)

LeAnn Rimes seemingly jabs Brandi Glanville in a new interview with the U.K. paper Metro, implying that the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star is constantly bashing her and Eddie Cibrian because it’s her only source of income.

Asked about the constant tabloid coverage of her and Cibrian, a number of stories which have been supplied directly by Glanville, Rimes tells the paper, “It has been an ongoing story… but it’s involved some very wrong information.”

She says, “I try to let it roll off my back but it’s gone on for a long time,” adding, “I have a talent, I can sing. I don’t earn my money from trying to hurt people or get in the tabloids.”

Glanville, of course, has discussed Rimes and Cibrian prominently on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and writes about the couple at length in her new book, “Drinking & Tweeting.”

Rimes previously said Glanville using her as a storyline on the reality show was “flattering,” but now it seems she’s ready for the drama to end.

    Really Leann? i picture says more then word #hypocritemuch pic.twitter.com/ctgVCOHZ

  • glow

    really? she can sing?? did anyone watch american idol.. she seemed high… well she has the talent to have a great auto-tune I do like her more than brandi mainly cuz brandi is not realizing how much she is hurting her own kids.. when my parents divorced cuz my dad cheated not once my mom said something bad about him or the other woman.. i respected her soo much because of that and I still do..

  • Lo

    If the things brandy said in her book were not true lean and the douche bag would have taken legal action against her, so it’s pretty much the truth period

  • Lindsey

    And when was the last time your “talent” earned you any money? The 90s???

  • Tammy

    But it’s ok to steal someone else’s husband? Okay then leAnn.

  • Ashley Burns

    She’s right. What happened to Brandy happened three years ago. It doesn’t make the cheating right but seriously, we all know the only reason Brandy’s relevant is because she won’t shut up about what happened to her. I felt bad initially but if you’re going to make money off of the so-called pain…give me a break. Someone cheated on you, you weren’t raped it’s time to build a bridge and get the fuck over it.
    P.S: I want to clarify as well that I’m not a supporter of neither Leann or Brandy, I think they get way too much attention.

  • jackalexandria

    I dont get it, first you steal her husband then you go about bitching about her in the press? When did Rimes bring out new music? She more famous for breaking up a marriage publicly than her music.

  • jackalexandria

    I don’t blame her at all, taking someones husband is a pretty low act, worse when there are children involved. Bringing rape into the argument is a little perverse.

  • Martina

    This is like a ping-pong

  • Alex

    You’re so right, it doesn’t get much lower than that. BUT, there comes a time when you have to think of someone other than yourself, like 2 children who are watching and listening to everything you do. Brandi, for the sake of those kids, needs to be the bigger person and move on. I’ve been right where she’s at and I had a choice to make, spend my time hating and bashing my ex or put aside my personal feelings and show my children what it means to be the better/bigger person. Brandi’s not done that and I’m afraid it will come back to bite her someday. She is going to want her kids to look up to her and praise her for the way she handled a horrible situation, unfortunately, that’s just not the case. Again, what LeeAnne and Eddie did was deplorable but Brandi has turned this into a childish free-for-all that will be forever immortalized in the tabloids for her children to easily hear and read about one day.

  • JO

    So LeAnn a Married woman who took a vow to love and honor her husband, sleeps with a married man who had children. She then proceeds to go after married man and destroys his wife and children’s lives..Yup she needs to STHU…

  • She

    Leann if you didn’t want drama you shouldn’t of been a home wrecker. You should of looked for single guys not married ones.

  • FedUp

    Leann didn’t steal anyone husband,He was already gone.,cheated with many.Brandi hooked up with women to keep him and it didn’t work .got a stripper pole,that didn’t work either! She was desperate and she lost.Get over it and move on!Brandi better pray Leann doesn’t cut off the money or she might have to actually support her children.

  • jackalexandria

    I don’t agree, if they were my parents i would be on my mothers side. She didn’t walk away from her family with another man.

  • drew

    LeAnn earns money?! who knew!

  • Alex

    Kids don’t look at it like that. We as adults feel that way without question but to two small children, Dad is perfect and as long as he’s good to them, he’s their hero. It would be very disconcerting for either mom or dad to involve or put the children in the middle of this mess so as far as they are concerned, the children shouldn’t know what’s going on in the adult world. No child should ever, ever feel as though they have to take sides. Not to mention the fact that this is a situation that’s concerning personal lives which we as strangers know very little about. Since we don’t know the whole story or have all the pertinent facts, it would be difficult at best to place any judgements on either party. All we can go on is the public behavior of each individual. Again, I don’t condone the ex husbands behavior but no matter what, it doesn’t justify hers.

  • jackalexandria

    You’re entitled to your opinion, right or wrong. I just don’t agree with you.

  • Alex

    I appreciate your view and opinion, I’m just thinking of the children. You also mentioned “if they were my parents, I would be on my mothers side”. That’s a very slippery slope since kids should never have to take sides and as a parent, that’s the first thing they should be told. That only puts undue pressure on the kids and it’s not fair to them. Putting children in the middle is why family courts are overloaded and in the end the only ones that get hurt are the kids. Like I said before, I’ve been there and while my ex was trashing me to my kids, I kept my mouth shut and kept a smile on my face, choosing not to involve my children in the game, instead choosing to let my ex hang himself which he did. I have a good relationship with my children mainly because of my choices – my ex husband can’t say the same and you know why? Because my kids said they will never forget how he treated me and the things he said about me, fortunately, they can’t say the same about me. It’s something to think about. While we don’t agree, I do appreciate our dialogue where there’s no personal attacks and name calling which happens too frequently at GC, thank you for that.

  • It’s really sad!

    You are very correct. Children do not like the fact of one parent downing another. When you do that, they feel as if you are putting them down. They love Both parents regardless of what the parent has done. Keep the children out of what is going on between parents, and don’t have them choosing sides.The less they know about what is going on, the better for them. They have people who are dying to tell them or show them what has been written about their family that is nobody’s business in the first place. This builds low self-esteem in children. This Brandy needs to see a therapist and not let the tabloids talk her into doing something that she will regret one day. It’s not worth the money they would pay her. All tabloids want to do is sell trash to the public. They don’t care about her.

  • soniaz

    excuse me? do you know anything about this, really? if so, you would know that brandi has stated many times she never rips their dad ever. nor does she rip leann to the kids. she’s aware of that. still – eddie took away her ability to make money and live when he ran off with another woman who just happened to be very wealthy. he left her with nothing. she did what she had to do, to make money to live. he pays child support according to what he earns and he hasn’t exactly been working a lot these past 3 years. he’s scum. pure scum. he cheated on her during their entire marriage and if i was leann i would be very worried. once brandi found what a cheat eddie was, she kicked him out. brandi is great. she’s made it on her own moxie, her cute personality and her great charisma. she’s the breakout star of the bhhw and everyone loves her. can’t say the same about leann who will now forever be the woman who saw a cute guy and wanted him and had no respect for brandi or her family or her kids. that’s the truth. she wanted him and she did everything to get him, bribing him with her money. at the time eddie and brandi were almost broke. he had nothing. she was a meal ticket to him. brandi recorded him telling her that leann was ugly and that he would never marry her and begging brandi to take him back. and yet, even after hearing that recording leann still married him. what a fool! she’s a liar and a stalker – copying everything that brandi does. for someone who is so talented, she has a mental disorder. yuck. may them live together a long miserable life that they both deserve.

  • soniaz

    honey, neither does brandi. if you knew anything, you would know this. she has said this over and over.

  • glow

    sweety.. brandi trashes leAnn all the time… i do know a lot of things such as reading which you have to learn how to do to see brandi always talks crap about LeAnn and i am not saying she is an angel but the mother should stop for the sake of the children

  • glow

    Everyone keeps on saying how LeAnn STOLE Brandis husband but they are forgetting that she had no commitment to brandi yes she is to blame for her own marriage. But brandis husband was responsible for hers yet it seems like Brandi keeps on blaming leann because her husband didnt love her enough to stick with her. I am not saying its ok to cheat but it is also not ok to sulk about it 3 years later and keep it alive.. She is keeping the pain in her children alive as well as the drama.. And talking crap about her ex and his new wife is not gonna do any good to anyone… not even her.. she needs to move on

  • Jill

    She said in the article she has talent and can sing, but she is sueing her dentist saying she can’t sing because of bad dental work! hmm

  • keinname

    But of course Ms. Rimes. However, it is perfectly ok to brag about spreading them for another woman’s husband. Or making media events out of the boys little league games, so you can retain some relevancy. Or better yet, to parade your tame ape around to show the world just how much in love you are. How convenient for Eddie not to have a job. There is nothing like screwing over the ex by not being able to pay adequate child support. I am pretty sure your lawyer probably had something to do with that. It may have been a while, and it is time for Brandi to move on for her own sake and the boys, but lets not forget your contribution in this fiasco. Concentrate on whats left of your singing career. That should keep you occupied.

    Maybe if Brandi WAS NOT SUCH A BITCH SHE WOULD HAVE BETTER LUCK!! I used to like her but this season on RHOBH Showed her as a dirty wretched person.. lost all respect.. she’s trash!! And Lisa is an IDIOT!!! I guarantee Lisa will get fucked by her as well!!
