Brandi Glanville Slams LeAnn Rimes Amid ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Casting Rumors
The long-simmering tension between Brandi Glanville and LeAnn Rimes has reached a boiling point once again. The spark? Viral rumors suggesting that the country music star may be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). Glanville, a former mainstay of the franchise, didn’t hold back her thoughts on the potential casting, taking to social media to reignite one of reality TV’s most notorious feuds.
“She Got Everything Else of Mine”: Glanville Reacts on X
On Wednesday, May 6, Brandi Glanville, 53, posted a scathing message via X (formerly Twitter) regarding the speculation. Rather than expressing dismay at Rimes’ potential arrival, Glanville leaned into the irony of the situation, suggesting that Rimes joining the show would be the final piece of a long history of shared losses.
“I hope it’s true about RHOBH,” Glanville wrote. “I signify, 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.”
The comment references the deeply personal and public conflict between the two women, which has spanned years and involved various personal disputes.
The Origin of the Casting Rumors
The speculation gained momentum via DeuxMoi, which reported that LeAnn Rimes, 43, is being considered for the series. These casting conversations are reportedly happening as the show’s 15th season concludes its three-part reunion on Thursday, May 7.
Although fans are buzzing, Bravo has not officially confirmed the news, as the network typically does not comment on casting rumors.
A Complicated History: From Feuds to “Face Parasites”
Glanville’s relationship with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is well-documented. She was a primary cast member from seasons 2 through 5 and later returned in a guest capacity during seasons 6, 9, and 10.
Interestingly, the relationship between Glanville and Rimes hasn’t always been purely adversarial in recent times. In a surprising turn of events on December 26, Glanville shared an Instagram post featuring Rimes, her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, and family members, noting that she had found an ally in Rimes while dealing with the stress of a “face parasite.”
Industry Skepticism: Teddi Mellencamp Weighs In
Not everyone is convinced that the rumors will materialize. Teddi Mellencamp, who appeared on RHOBH from seasons 8 through 10, expressed her doubts during the May 6 episode of the Two T’s in a Pod podcast.
“I do not believe this for a second,” Mellencamp stated, asserting that she simply does not spot Rimes joining the cast.
