Inside Brandi Glanville’s marriage split from Eddie Cibrian… and why she branded LeAnn Rimes a ‘c**t’ on last night’s CBB launch show
The Real Housewives star detests LeAnn Rimes for how she treats her two sons
BRANDI Glanville branded her ex-husband's new wife a "c**t" on last night's Celebrity Big Brother launch show - and that was her being reasonably pleasant.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star loathes country singer LeAnn Rimes with every bone in her body... and she hates her former spouse Eddie Cibrian just as much.
Brandi, 44, was married to the handsome Sunset Beach star from 2001 until 2010, but their union ended when it emerged he had been having an affair with LeAnn, 34, after they met on set of 2009 TV movie Northern Lights.
The pair wed in 2011, and now Brandi claims she is regularly taunted by LeAnn, who manages to particularly get on her nerves with her insistence to refer to her two sons as her "bonus kids".
Last year Brandi told Glamour magazine that LeAnn - who is childless - often texts her about how much she is looking forward to seeing Mason and Jake - and she finds it offensive.
She said: "When I'm home alone on a holiday and LeAnn is tweeting pictures with my children, it breaks my heart.
LeAnn also told the mag that she had been friends with Eddie for months before things "tipped over" and that their fling was "very emotionally driven".
What made it harder for Brandi was the fact that for a while, she and Eddie were friends with LeAnn and Dean - and even went on a double date while they worked on the film together.
In 2011, shortly after tying the knot with Eddie, LeAnn cruelly tweeted: "My first bonus mom day will be spent with Eddie here in Canada!"
LeAnn then thanked her film's make-up artist, tweeting that she "gave flowers to all the moms for Mother's Day.
"So sweet! I had some sitting in my trailer when I got here today."
The following year, LeAnn spent 30 days in rehab for "emotional issues" but left the facility with one thing on her mind... having a child.
In a big tell-all interview with E! she said: "Eddie and I talk about having kids and I would love to be a mom.
"I didn't ever want to bring a child into the world without taking care of myself. And that was another reason I decided to go [into treatment]."
However, Brandi claimed that LeAnn was suffering from an "extreme eating disorder" and blasted the "unstable" singer after her son Mason ate a "laxative he thought was candy" while staying with the couple.
"I hated those bikes - my dad had almost died in a motorcycle accident.
"I had never wanted Eddie on them, because we had children. I slashed all of the tires, and it felt so good."
Brandi then rang Eddie's mum and told her that her son had been cheating on her - she claims not only with LeAnn - and that she had taken a blade to his prize possessions.
She added: "I called his mom back and told her, 'I want you to know, I just killed Eddie’s motorcycles.' And she was like, 'Thank God'."
Last night Brandi showed she wasn't ready to let bygones be bygones, sneering at the camera: "My ex-husband married a count...ry music star named LeAnn Rimes."
