LeAnn Rimes: I'm Not Trying To Replace The Boys' Mom

Country crooner LeAnn Rimes insists she isn't trying to replace model Brandi Glanville, mother to Eddie Cibrian's two sons.

On Twitter, a fan blasted the 28-year-old Blue singer after she kept referring to Glanville's sons, Mason, 7, and Jake, 3, as her "boys."

"Please remember those 'boys' have a Mother," the fan wrote. "It seems you don't give credit to that. Hapnd to me not a good feeling."

Rimes Tweeted back,

I do, but it doesn't mean I can't share our happiness. Please remember I'm a part of their lives too. Seems people don't give credit to that."

Rimes' beau Cibrian, 37, shares custody of his sons with Glanville, 37, with whom he divorced last year after having a fling with Rimes on the set of a Lifetime movie. Rimes also filed for divorce from husband Dean Sheremet after the affair.

Cibrian and his two sons recently moved in with Rimes. According to Rimes' recent Tweeted, things seem to be going well so far. "So sweet when a 3 year old climbs in bed and says "why are you so pretty!" what a doll he is, so kind :) It's amazing the things kids say."

Nobody likes a bragging, in-your-face trick.
I don't follow her twitter but from the few things I've read her tweets concerning "her boys" are very Me-focused ("why are you so pretty!", the boys loving her concert, etc.). It's not "the boys enjoyed the concert" it's more like "My boys loved My singing". What a twit.

I am surprised with an actual mom who looks like theirs, those boys think Leann is pretty. Guess they have the same poor taste as their daddy. Leann is a total twit. Have some respect. You are not even their step mom!! Doubt those boys will feel the same about her when they are old enough to realize that she and their dad were just cheating whores!

She shouldn't be talking about those children on her twitter page at all. And she certainly shouldn't be referring to them as "my boys" which she has done several times. It would be almost amusing if she got pregnant by Eddie, he dumps her for someone else and the new girlfriend starts referring to Leanne's child as hers. Karma can't smack her in the face fast enough as far as I'm concerned.

Totally agree with all above comments!

UGH- I can't stand hearing about her anymore. I used to like her a lot and now all I see is a woman who broke up a family. The fact that she tweets about those boys is just not right and so disrespectful. I don't know how she sleeps at night.

Well Leann the major problem with her tweets is that it contradicts EC owns words. Didn't this man go on Rachel Ray and say that he doesn't want his kids exposed to the media? Didn't he go crazy because his wife was spotted on a beach with the kids? So it is not appropriate. Everyone knows that LR is tweeting about those kids to get back at their mother. It is said that LR would use those kids in such a way. She keeps calling those kids her family. She is not married to EC and she didn't give birth to those kids, so she is not those kids mother. Besides, didn't LR make very sexual comments about EC. So she is talking about those kids where she is making sexual comments about EC? Wait, LR is buying those kids clothes, so why can't she pay EC child support?

Jenny,

I am writing to you correct the misinformation about my post. Although I realize now it is only copied from other sources that are also incorrect.

I was not "blasting" Leeann Rimes. I was making a kind suggestion based on my own personal experience. Anyone who deals with this very difficult and life changing experience will be the first to tell you it should always be about what's best for the kids. We, and I include myself, do not know what goes on in the personal lives of any person! Why they do what they do, what the circumstances may have been for all people involved. I did not post my personal comment to Leeann with the thought that I know or even understand their "personal" situation. I simply made a kind comment with the warmest of heart towards her. I have always been a Leeann Rimes fan and will continue to be...her choices, good or bad, are her own...and she will live with that. It's not for me or anyone else to judge that.

I have always told my children (now adults with lives of their own) you have a choice in everything and whatever you decide you must be able to live with the consequences of that decision.

I have apologized to Leeann for the uproar caused by my comment to her, as it was not intended by any means. She has been gracious to me and I respect her for that. She has a kind heart and regardless of what we think we know about her personal life I am proud to say I am a fan of Leeann Rimes.

Thank you for your time.

Ladyaustin,

What are you apologzing for? You didn't do anything wrong.

We all know that Leann does these things to get back at Brandi and this was a long time coming. Leann is WRONG. It is about time that the media stopped patting her on the back for being so inappropriate. She has been making sexual comments about EC on those pages, so she is out of line to then make comments about those kids when she has been saying so many nasty things about EC and their sex life.

We know that you didn't mean any harm by it, do realize that you are not the only one concerned about how Leann so carelessly calls those kids hers or implies that she is their mother.

What disgusts people is the fact that Leann keeps tweeting about those kids AFTER EC made such a fuss about their faces and names being in the tabloids when his wife was with the kids on the beach.

What credit does Leann think she deserve? She wants a medal for using another woman's kids to promote her concerts and album? Hey Leann here is some advice, stop tweeting about those kids, especially when you are tweeting about your sexcapades with Eddie. If you want some credit, how about pay Eddie's child support instead of annoucing that you are going on yet another vacation.

Did she have to mention the part where the kid climbed in bed with her? Couldn't she have been more respectful and said today, so and so said this? Why does she have to always be so sexually inappropriate with those kids. BTW, did anyone notice that the kid she is talking about is the same kid that Eddie was cheating on Brandi with while she is pregnant? So yes, Leann was indeed taking a swipe at Brandi.

Those poor kids, she is trying too hard to be accepted and controversial in order to keep relevant.

Leann is back to pretending to be a humanitarian again. Did you hear the news? After being slammed for calling BG kids hers, Leann now cares about the plight of others with Psoriasis. Why does LR do this? She gets backlash and she thinks that she can make it all better just by saying "I care about this and this cause so that makes me a good person", sorta like how she thinks saying sorry entitles her to a free pass from the public.

Is the ladyaustin that is posting in this thread the real ladyaustin or has CBME once again hijacked another poster's name. The ladyaustin made a post on US WEEKLY and oddly enough it sounds just the posts that we have seen CBME make over and over.

first of all, you can't break up a marriages if the marriage is happy and healthy.
Second, you don't know what is going on in there private life, or do you live with them.
Third, she maybe will make mistakes with the kids or around the kids, and she maybe won't write things like you may wanna see them, but I am sure her heart is in the right place with the kids, its never easy on kids when parents divorce, give her a break and let them be, its there life not yours. Are you taking your own life apart like you do others?

Karen said:

Leann posts things like that back then and still does to get under Brandi's skin. Plain and simple, not enough that she took her husband and her kids half the time, she wants Brandi and the world to know that Jake thinks she'd pretty. Although that seems like a "pretty" complex statement/questions for a 3 year old to ask. And she should have never been in bed with Jake at that time anyway, she wasn't married to Eddie yet. Adultery is wrong and so is living together IF there are kids involved. Confusing to them and sets a bad example, Leann is trash.

Interesting comments...of which most I agree with, however let's also remember that it took two individuals to wreck a family! They both deserve each other. As far as the tweets regarding the kids...wanna be mom will never be their mom because they already have one. That's the beauty of it!
