Brandi Glanville has seemingly reignited her long-standing feud with LeAnn Rimes after rumors surfaced that the singer might join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). The 53-year-old television personality, who recently sought urgent care following medical advice from TikTok, addressed the speculation by sharing a post on X on Wednesday.
Background of the Feud
The drama traces back to 2009, when Rimes and Eddie Cibrian's affair came to light. Glanville, who was married to Cibrian at the time, announced their split that same year, with their divorce finalized in September 2010. Glanville and Cibrian share two children: Mason, 22, and Jake, 18.
In her post, Glanville wrote: "I hope it's true about RHOBH. I mean she got everything else of mine—husband, kids, boobs, bronco, random illnesses—she might as well just be a housewife and finish it off once and for all." This came after gossip site DeuxMoi reported that Rimes' name had been "circulating in casting conversations" for the upcoming season of RHOBH.
Glanville's History with RHOBH
Glanville is no stranger to the franchise, having starred as a main cast member on RHOBH from season three through five. She later returned in guest capacities during season six and seasons nine through ten. Her connection to the show adds weight to her commentary on the casting rumors.
Past Reconciliation Efforts
Despite the bitter history, Glanville had previously expressed forgiveness toward Rimes. In a February episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast, she stated: "These days, I love LeAnn... She's great and we all hang out together. I've forgiven her." She added, "We're going to be around each other forever because of the kids, so why not make the best of it?"
Last June, Glanville even reunited with Cibrian and Rimes to celebrate their son Jake's graduation, suggesting a cordial relationship. However, tensions resurfaced in recent months.
Recent Clashes
In January, Glanville criticized Rimes for sharing a video of herself undergoing jaw release therapy for TMJ. On her Unfiltered podcast, Glanville said: "I just don't know why you share that. I don't understand why I saw [the clip]." She implied Rimes was copying her by documenting medical procedures, as Glanville has shared her own health struggles online.
Rimes later defended the video, stating during a livestream: "The people were commenting... 'Of course the camera was on, she was gonna cry.' I'm like, 'I can act, but I am not that good.'" She added, "The older I get, the more honest I can be. People finally get to see me, and there's no pretense about that."
Conclusion
The renewed feud underscores the complicated dynamics between Glanville and Rimes, years after the affair that ended Glanville's marriage. Whether Rimes will indeed join RHOBH remains unconfirmed, but Glanville's pointed remarks have already stirred public interest.
