LeAnn Rimes addresses the cheating issue
LeAnn Rimes has been stigmatized ever since she cheated on her own husband with another woman's husband. Now LR has come forward to address that issue. She's not apologizing mind you, but she can explain.
According to LeAnn both she and her then husband were quite young at the time. The calendar backs them up on this. However she then goes on to imply that though they both grew, they grew apart. This kind of leaves it to be inferred that hubs didn't quite catch up with Rimes own growth spurt. So she pulled an Amy Grant.
BTW LeAnn also goes onto say that growing up as America's Sweetheart placed some unfair expectations on her - like decency. Rimes makes it sound as if she were suffocating in some Mary Tyler Moore type straitjacket that was stifling her inner Sue Ann Nivens/Happy Homewrecker.
Here's the Happy Homewrecker in her own words from CNN. BTW her own words don't include the one people want to hear - "sorry".
Strong words from the panelists; lukewarm from LeAnn. I like the chick who claims that there's a special place in hell for chicks who steal other chicks men. If that's true then LeAnn chestnuts must be roasting already! Also if that's true LeAnn will have plenty of celebrity company in the dark hot place, like Angelina Jolie, and most notably Julia Roberts. For some reason these ladies have gotten a pass, or at least a get out of jail free card, on their cheating ways. Poor Jennifer Aniston has never ever been the same since Jolie stomped the wheels off of her little red wagon. Jolie might have gotten a pass on that cause crazy & dangerous is part of her image, ie girl most likely to kill and eat you after mating (she's even starting to physically resemble a praying mantis).
As for Roberts, she's retained her America's Sweetheart crown until recently. She only lost it then because of an outpouring of sympathy & support for Sandy Bullock. When people heard what Jesse James had been doing behind her back, and with other women, they felt that Sandy needed a promotion from Miss Congeniality to full grade Sweetheart level. As they say on Strangers With Candy, pity is worth more than all the whiskey in a drunkard's dreams, plus no one can ever take it away from you!
However Roberts loss of sweetheart status was more do to a relative change in Bullock's, and not any kind of anti Roberts sentiment. This is odd given Roberts own relationship with her husband Danny Moder. Apparently there was some kind of marriage bust up involved in that. What's worse Roberts has tormented Moder's family with her constant bullying and demands. At one point she had the entire clan enrolled in therapy so that they could learn to be more sensitive to her needs. Why be a more reasonable person yourself when you can get the other person to give in to you by convincing them that it's the reasonable thing to do? Worse still Moder's mother had a fatal heart attack at about the time Julia horned in on the scene. Moder's sister is convinced that the heart attack was Julia Roberts related, and still won't talk to her famous sister in law.
Now LeAnn hasn't caused any deaths - that we know of - yet she continues to dangle on the hook. Looks like people are determined to give her a hard time over this. Maybe she deserves a hard time - I dunno. However worse people are getting off easier.
