LeAnn Rimes: Defends Skinny Body AGAIN But Is She Setting Bad Example for Her Kids?

LeAnn Rimes Scary New Twitter Pic

LeAnn Rimes posted a picture on Twitter from Cabo honeymoon with Eddie Cibrian, creating yet another controversy about her scary skinny look!  After sharing a shot of herself in a bikini on Twitter, the newlywed celeb mom got more feedback than she bargained for from her Twitter followers.  Again.

Is it me or is LeAnn missing the point that as a MOM, she’s setting a bad example for her stepkids? When Eddie Cibrian got married this spring, Rimes became a stepmother to Cibrian’s two children, Mason, 7, and Jake, 3. Part of being a mom or a stepmom is to set an example for the little ones because you’re officially a ROLE MODEL.  But I am not sure that LeAnn got the memo on the whole “stepmom as a role model” idea quite yet!

In response to one Twitter follower who claimed LeAnn’s bones were “protuding,” the celeb mom fired back:

“Those are called abs, not bones, love,” LeAnn wrote to a fan who commented on the singer’s size. She added, “Thx but this is my body and I can promise you I’m a healthy girl. I’m just lean. Thx for your concern but no need too be.”

LeAnn keeps perpetuating the debate about her weight by posting pics on Twitter of herself in a bathing suit!  In April, LeAnn tweeted a picture of herself in a bikini and made a big deal on Twitter of how much she is eating.  I get that LeAnn wants people to quit thinking she has an eating disorder but the MOST important thing as a mom is to think of the KIDS.  What’s your take on this issue?  Is LeAnn setting a bad example for Mason and Jake?

Is LR setting a bad example for EC sons? She was sleeping in the same bed with EC and his sons before EC divorce was even final. She tweets about the kids even after EC tried to sue his ex-wife of the kids were on her show. She then went to the kids soccer game and made out with EC while on the sidelines in front of E son, his peers, and the other parents. So LR is beyond setting an example the kids.

Her body is fine. She’s never had kids and that’s what my abs looked like the first 26 pre-baby years of my life. Her’s husband’s ex (and mother to the children in question) is just as thin. I think her weight is a non-issue. There have been plenty of things over the course of that relationship that are certainly negatively impacting those children. Her bikini bod is the least of them.

My “take” is it’s no one else’s business. I am not a Rimes “fan” but I am a fan of not judging other people. If she is happy then let her be. Who are we to insert ourselves in to her life?? She seems to be very proud of her body and wants to share pics with her followers.
I try my best but I by no means a perfect mom. It would be wrong and very hypocritical of me to judge her based on pics she posted…..or to even judge her period. We have no idea what her life is like besides what she shares.
I say that people should worry about themselves and their own children and let other people do the same thing.

That is where you are wrong. We have an idea of what Leann’s life is like because she makes sure to inform us every step of the way, whether it be via twitter or staged photo-ops. Leann makes her life EVERYONE’s business when she puts things like this on a PUBLIC FORUM. So you are wrong no one inserted themselves in her life, SHE inserted her life into the tabloids and blogs. If she doesn’t like the unfavorable responses she gets, then she needs to stop sharing so much TMI. Twitter is a public forum and from her past experiences she knows that what she posts on twitter will be posted in the blogs and on the mags. People can judge Leann because she gives us plenty to judge, she stages a photo-op EVERY week and she is constantly tweeting about kids that don’t even belong to her. Perhaps Leann should worry about herself instead of living every detail of her life on a PUBLIC
FORUM.

sammy commented on May 31 11 at 9:27 pm

That is the problem right there. Leann will continue to lose weight because people are telling her that she looks fine. She doesn’t look fine and based on the fact that she spent her entire honeymoon tweeting, we know that she isn’t fine. Leann’s weight is an issue because her husband is cheating and what if she takes out her anger for EC on his sons?

sammy commented on May 31 11 at 9:30 pm

I think you are over thinking this being a role model thing. Just because we have kids, now wr can’t have a social network account or post pictures? Shes skinny but who cares? I doubt those boys will even see the twitter stuff bc they are 7 & 3! And they certainly won’t think they need to starve themselves over it. Jeez. I think what realllly matters is how she behaves in front of the children.

Sarita commented on Jun 03 11 at 7:39 am

Um, those are not abs. They are bones.

Darlynn commented on Jun 03 11 at 7:41 am

Frankly, between Cibrian, Glanville and this twit, those kids are screwed. What a hot load of selfish jerks.

Jamie commented on Jun 03 11 at 7:47 am

She doesn’t look remotely healthy to me.

Brooke commented on Jun 03 11 at 7:57 am

I feel sorry for LR. If she’s one pound overweight the tabloids jump on it. If she’s one pound underweight the tabloids jump on it. Most people I know have no problem sharing their personal lives on public forums…why should we ask her not to do so. She loves to network with her fans…nothing wrong with that. I’m not sure why anyone thinks she’s not setting a role model example for her new step-children…oh, wait…I forgot…the world still judges people by the color or size of their skin instead of the content of their character. She’s a CW star…talk about her music…talk about her shows…talk about the good she does with her life. Could we please stop talking about body issues!!! It’s the media’s love for stirring up trouble that’s the real scandal here…not his young woman’s body.

Lauren commented on Jun 03 11 at 8:10 am

Cj chould not have said it better myself! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!

Tamara commented on Jun 03 11 at 9:11 am

I hate that it’s a story about LeAnn Rimes, but this is the last straw. SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! This is the most negative and annoying website ever! A.) I don’t know why you care. B.) Mind your own business C.) Why do all of you think you’re right all the time? Oh, cause then the other bored mothers can sit around and judge with you and they will keep reading and being negative. THAT IS THE BAD EXAMPLE TO SET FOR YOUR KIDS!!!… I won’t do it anymore. I’m going to unsubscribe, unlike, and move on to thinking about happy things. Like I said, I could give a shit about LeAnn Rimes, it’s just the last straw, I can’t take you people anymore.

Jenn commented on Jun 03 11 at 9:27 am

BTW, abs are not right below your boobs and have ridges. those are her rib bones and hip bones protruding and she looks like a workout anorexic. I hope she gets help and I’m pretty sure her absurd need for media attention is a giant cry for help.

kat commented on Jun 03 11 at 12:24 pm

But what she writes on twitter is being seen by the other parents at EC kid’s school. We know that what she writes on twitter is getting back to his sons via their peers based on what LR tweeted when she attended family day at EC son school.

BTW, LR actions in front of the kids are even worse. Out of all the celebs why were she and EC the only ones who were spotted making out on the sidelines of their kids soccer game?

Let’s not forget the 4th of July photos when she was humping on EC in a very skimpy bikini while his sons sat right by him.

Lauren(aka CJ/tamara)

Wow, where did all these LR supporters come from? That’s right LR has a low fanbase so someone posts under several different names to make it look like she has fans.

LR is a CW star? You could have fooled a lot of people because all she is known for these days is her affair with EC, her SWF of BG, her inappropriate behavior with EC sons, staged photo-ops, and of course the tweets where she provides TMI. People judge LR by her actions which she makes VERY public on a public forum and via these staged photo-ops/twitpics.

It’s more than obvious why LR needs to stop putting her personal life on twitter.
People will leave LR alone when she leaves EC sons, BG, and the public alone.She provides TMI and she is very inappropriate. And then when it all backfires she wants to scream that people should mind their own business. If she doesn’t like the negative feedback from her STAGED photo-ops and tweets, then she needs to stop tipping off the paps, tweeting, posting twitpics.

The tabs are jumping on LR weight loss because SHE is always bragging about how happy and blissful she is, now why would she be losing so much weight if her life was as happy as she claims? Not to mention SHE is the one who is constantly STAGING photo-op after photo-op, at some point LR needs to just let go and stop tipping off the paps because she can’t handle that no one believes the “happy and in love” stories she is always planting on twitter.

Networking? What LR does on twitter is not networking. Especially when it involves tweets about how she is in bed with another woman’s kids, having sex with EC, rewarding her “fans” for bashing EC ex wife, and the exact location of where and when she and EC can be found with those kids.

Why do you expect people to talk about LR shows and music when she herself doesn’t even talk about her music and shows? LR should lead by example. Her music and shows are not even the focus of her staged photo-ops. So instead of staging a photo of her and EC engaging in pda at an airport or leaking photos of EC son birthday party, perhaps LR should stage a photo-op where she actually focuses on her music.

Lauren, the media didn’t stir up this trouble. Leann did. Leann posted the photos and she did knowing full well that it was going to be picked up by the media just like she is on twitter NOW tweeting away not about her music but EC son birthday and the place where they had the party.

It’s LR love for attention that gets her in trouble.

sammy commented on Jun 03 11 at 3:09 pm

Why do people like JENN take the time and energy to show up and post if they are so fed up? I’m thinking that this JENN person is just another Leann fan. She has all the classic signs. Slams stay at home mothers. She goes on and on about how people should mind their business. And then she states that she won’t come back to post or read on this site ever again. Seriously these “fans” need a new tactic because they do the very same thing on every site. Don’t worry she will be back, her name just won’t be JENN the next time she returns to make yet another post where she slams stay at home mothers and tells people to mind their busines when another one of LR staged photo-ops and twitpics backfires.

sammy commented on Jun 03 11 at 3:14 pm

She looks very healthy why are so many people calling her anorexic terrible anorexic is when your arms are so skinny your elbows pertrude out yet the rest of your arm looks like a pencil,your stomach is ruler thin , and you legs look like a flamingo, and your face you can clearly see the skull lines ,and shes probably eating alot becuase she works out.maybe every one is calling her anorexic out of jealousy? or are people so used to obesity they look at being fit as anorexic who knows..

Diana commented on Jun 04 11 at 4:12 pm

I hate country by the way , and from what i have read i have seen mothers do the same crap, kissing in public, humping on there hubbys etc when they are drunk out of there mind and have no sense about them. my next door neighbors were up all night partying last night with there kids running wild because it was the mothers 21st bday and you could feel the vibrations of the music and from them jumping etc the police came and quieted that down around 4:00 am there were beer bottles all over the porch, I think before anyone casts stones judge yourself first, if you cant cast at yourself dont cast at others.Who are we to judge? Live you own life and do what you deem fit and let everyone live there own life. because you can say all the judgmental crap you want guess what your advice is just going to go piss in the wind like an unwanted desease, and all your going to accomplish is negativity.

Diana commented on Jun 04 11 at 4:23 pm

Wow, another poster? Where are all of these LR supporters coming from?

Yeah, yeah we have heard this how many times before? You hate and you are not a fan, yet here you are defending LR with the “you are just jealous or fat” excuse.

If LR doesn’t want people to cast stones at her, then she needs to stop with the twitpics and staged photo-ops. The public isn’t obligated to pat her on the back like People mag does. LR is wrong. Stop making excuses for, blaming others because they would dare respond to LR attention seeking, or trying to justify what she did by arguing that what LR does is okay because everyone else is doing it. The fact that Leann promotes herself as a humanatarian is the major reason why LR shouldn’t be seen humping on EC in front of his kids. Besides, LR is always talking about how she is a good example for EC sons, so why would she act like this? And the major reason LR is wrong because those are not LR kids. What type of woman prides herself on humping on a man in front of another woman’s kids? Most women show respect in front of another woman’s kids. Why should LR be any different?

Instead of telling people to live their life, perhaps you should tell LR to get off of twitter and stop with the staged photo-ops. You can’t keep blaming us for responding after LR doesn’t get the desired reaction. BTW, shouldn’t you take your own advice? Since you are not a fan, why are you even concerned about how people perceive LR?

sammy commented on Jun 05 11 at 3:08 am

Diana(someone who is so ashamed of LR that she pretends that she isn’t a fan)

Leann doesn’t look healthy. Why do LR and her “fans” equate the negative feedback she gets from staged photo-ops and twitpics as jealousy? No one is jealous of LR. If LR didn’t want the criticism, then she should needs to stop tipping off the paps. How typical, why do you try to explain the dislike of LR as something that has to do with obesity? Leann looks sick. What is unhealthy are people like you who tell LR that this is okay. If you care anything about LR, you would urge her to get help. But then again, LR won’t acknowledge her weight loss because she would have to admit that EC is cheating on her.

sammy commented on Jun 05 11 at 3:09 am

Diana

BTW, are you not casting stones when you show up saying that people are jealous of LR just because they don’t respond to her staged photo-ops the way that People mag does?
