posted in CelebritiesThanks to social media, Brandi Glanville can take a peek right into how her sons are spending the holidays without her -- and it hurts.
The former Real Housewives star, whose sons Mason and Jake with ex-husband Eddie Cibiran gained LeAnn Rimes as a stepmom in 2011, has opened up about the ways their troubled blended family is doing better but still struggling.
"It's been 6 years, at this point I really am over it. We still battle, don't get me wrong. I have an issue with her posting pictures of my children on holidays," Brandi explained during a podcast interview with Nik Richie.
"It's horrible. If my ex husband, if their dad isn't posting pictures, why is she? Holidays are so hard for me, as it is, when I don't have my kids. Then to have the capacity to go on the computer and look to see what they're f–king doing [on Rimes' social pages], get that vodka out, I'll grab three bottles of chardonnay, cry myself to sleep and look at what they're doing for Christmas. It's hell."
When Nik made the mistake of teasing, "[LeAnn]’s the mom now," Brandi quickly shot back, "She's not the mom. She knows."
The reality star, who was married to Eddie from 2001 to 2010, went on to say she believes LeAnn posts photos with her children just to "piss her off."
"She does, 100%,” Brandi continued. "I told her, I said 'It doesn’t make me mad, it hurts my feelings.' I'm missing half of their life as it is. I tucked my tail and went 'Please, just around the holidays, don't do it.' And she’s like, 'It’s my family too and I’m gonna do whatever I want.' That lack of respect, I think that maybe if she had a child herself maybe she'd understand it more, it's hard but you deal with it. I begged and tried for so many years to get things to change and they haven't, so I have to just f–king accept it that I'll see pictures of my kids on Thanksgiving in a horse drawn carriage looking perfectly happy and I’ll cry myself to sleep."
Is it strange that I really do feel for Brandi Glanville on this one but I think LeAnn Rimes is (mostly) in the right?
I know it's tremendously hard, but Brandi could simply stop looking at LeAnn's pages if she knows they upset her so much, or maybe focus more on the fact her boys are having fun and apparently enjoy their stepmother's company. I can only imagine how hard it is to have another woman spend time raising your children, but what it be any better if Mason and Jake were miserable at their father's house?
Then again, it wouldn't be all that hard for LeAnn to take it easy on the photos that include the kids. Showing all of your life isn't a requirement of social media, and if Brandi really did respectfully ask her not to post this pics it'd be a nice gesture to respect the request.
