LeAnn Rimes Confronts the Rumors

She's been in the tabloids a lot this year, and today LeAnn Rimes is addressing her critics head on. Everything from the affair, to rumors about an eating disorder, LeAnn didn't hold back on any of it with Ellen. Watch it right here.

[@craigjeffries]

The reason he's not on any show justifying his behavior is because the tabloids don't say nasty things about him. They trash talk her because the media in general are harder on women than they are on men.

[@crystalmorris215]

Look, I'm not a fan of Brandy's but the hypocrisy here is off the charts. When Brandy did the Real Housewives, not once did she show her boys, not once. She said that she'd always wanted to but the father didn't want them to be shown so although she didn't agree, she did respect that decision. Here, on a nationally syndicated television show with millions of viewers, we have the new wife who just so happens to be a famous country music artist and who started out as the mistress, flaunting her "2 new boys". 😑 I can't see past the the hypocrisy and gall of these people.

[@dgaller06]

True, LeAnn stole someone's husband and that someone's husband allowed himself to be stolen...and the two guilty parties really don't have any right to complain about how public this situation has gone seeing as they both chose to be involved in careers that really hold you more accountable for your actions...they did something awful to people who loved them and now they are paying for it by never being able to sweep it under the rug...everyone now knows the hurtful things they did

I wonder why people ship brandgelina but hate on other couples that did the same

[@kaye596]

This particular case involved kids, and Leann crossed every line that could be crossed as a stepmother, especially considering a very public affair led to her being a stepmother. I think it's all about the behavior after. Brad and Angelina got plenty of hate, but it died down and they didn't rub it in Jennifer's face, nor did J&B have kids. Leann is smug, and taunts & stalks her stepkids mom. It's just mean. And crazy. And juvenile.

[@RedRegina]

The only true difference is here is that Eddie had kids already and Jennifer did not act like eddies ex. But Angelina isn’t any less of a home wrecker. If you wanna judge, at least be equally consistent. Angelina and Leann both screwed up, and grew from it. And now I love them both.

[@roisindubh02]

Also, Brad Pitt came clean and admitted to Jennifer Aniston he was attracted to Angelina. They weren’t sneaking around behind anyone’s back like Leanne and Eddie.

you are absolutely right! famous or not, you should leave your marriage first before embarking on love with someone else. it's just not fair on the spouse and kids you leave behind. you can try to wave away all the bad publicity about your relationship all you want eddie and leann, but it will never change the fact that it started on a rock of lies, deceit and adultery.

[@Willowwolf38]

It was both of them. They BOTH did something. Not just her. And we don't know the entire story. She owns that she made some mistakes, she also said there was stuff she would not talk about. There were 4 people involved - not just one

LeAnn Rimes is, and has always been the sweetest most loving kind hearted soul. Those of you who say otherwise don't know what your talking about. You know what they say 1 "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." 2, "If you don't know what your talking about you shouldn't be talking about it."

[@Altoonafan]

I am speaking of off the set. Have you seen the video of them in a restaurant during the 'early' times--- when she was married to another man, and Eddie was married to Ms. Glanville. There had to be some type of agreement and arrangement for that to occur. You know the James Gang lyric: "You just turn your pretty head and walk away"? She did not do that. She went for it.

[@WH2012]

I believe there's something in there about being judged as harshly a you judge others, and something else about removing the beam from one's own eye before worrying about the speck in another person's eye. Two of the people involved are entertainers. That is all the owe us. It is something LeAnn delivers and has delivered no matter what her personal defects are.

@chrisgeronimo when i said "bullied" it was in reference to kids that get bullied not some famous adult.I am well aware that LeAnn gets bashed by the media constantly. However The bullying that a kid face within schools is completely different.Its the kind of bullying that you cant just go on a talk show and vent about. Its about the children that are suffering in silence.LeAnne is an adult who knows how to take on the insults of the media, she isn't and impressionable little kid.

I am a LeAnn Rimes fan BUT...that photo of her on the bikini...OMG. She does have an eating disorder. Point blank period. Eddie Cibrian and her only started their affair once she started losing weight. I think he has an attraction to extremely thin girls and that's what triggered her progressive weight loss. She's only in the media now defending the fact that she doesn't have an eating disorder & it makes me sad. I hope someone helps her. Google images of her from the past year. She's sick.

The truth is LeAnn, you are not a classy woman. You did it to someone, it can definitely happen to you!! You can’t build happiness on someone’s disgrace.

an affair with someone half his age. She, too, is a homewrecker. She is also garbage. Involving yourself with a married man, especially when there are children involved, is absolutely inexcusable. So it's not talking shit. It's pointing out bullshit and letting people know that it's NOT okay.

I really don't understand why everyone is on Leann's case about what happened. Eddie cheated on his wife too so I don't think that Leann is a home wrecker. He could have easily walked away from the situation if he wanted to. Obviously he didn't want to which is why it continued, so why is everyone acting as if she is the only one to blame? Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott had an affair while both of them were still married and no one is saying anything about that. So what's the problem here?

You cannot come and tell me you honestly believe she thinks wrecking two marriages is 'fun', esp. since one of those marriages was hers. Apart from the case in which her husband abused her, that hurt too, no matter how in love she was with the other one.

[@musher622]

I'm going to start off by saying that I adore LeAnn. Love her voice and she is one of the sweetest people. But I DO think she's too thin. Whether or not she has an eating disorder (and I tend to believe her when she says she doesn't), she's so tiny now. She was gorgeous when she had a few more pounds on her. I think the pressure to be thin - Hollywood thin - gets to everyone and LeAnn is no exception to that pressure.

[@singpraise247]

There are some people who are naturally thin.. I have had cousins, nephews..even a best friend growing up who were so thin- Even underweight but they ATE! They just had HIGH metabolisms..But Leeann was never thin like that..She was normal and never uber stick thin.. Most people have to seriously about starve and exercise a LOT to achieve that..and again..have to barely eat too!
