We’ve spent this week talking about Brandi Glanville, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, because apparently we’re all stuck in 2009. To recap… LeAnn did what she always does, which was post a ton of photos of Eddie and Brandi’s sons onto her social media over the holidays. In a radio interview this week, Brandi admitted that the happy-family holiday photos drive her crazy and make her really sad. Brandi said she had asked Eddie and LeAnn to lay off the social media photos around the holidays, but they had ignored her. Eddie responded by going to People Magazine and calling Brandi a “liar” and making it sound like his ex-wife was an unhinged nutjob desperately clinging to LeAnn’s enormous fame (er…).

So, of course Brandi had to react. First she did some tweets-and-deletes, writing: “Sad that my ex has to go to the press &call me a liar when HIS LIES broke up our family. He knows I cud just share our emails& be vindicated…1last note. What mom wouldn’t want HER kids full time? They have been with me since birth. Im glad they have Leann to support them cuz u cant.” Then she deleted those tweets and wrote this:

I deleted a couple tweets I really don't want to start this new year feuding with my baby daddy ❤️let's stay positive (me included)

Still, the damage had been done. And by “damage” I mean that Brandi’s email to Eddie somehow got “leaked” to the site RealMRHousewife.com – you can see a shot of the email here. The site notes that they asked Brandi for a copy of the email & she provided it… BEFORE she tweeted that stuff ^^ up there about not wanting to feud with Eddie. And here’s the text of the email, which was apparently to Eddie, not LeAnn. I’m making some minor edits/paragraph breaks just to make it readable.

“My call this morning was not to fight with you but clearly anytime I need to have a conversation with you, you use it as a time to unleash any and all anger you have going on in your life on me. Eddie first know Im not mad and these aren’t old antics and I am happy that my children have a loving stepmom so don’t think that has anything to do with this.

Im not pissed Im not mad Im hurting yes I have emotions and holidays ESPECIALLY are so hard for me when Im not with my kids. I never thought I would be missing out on half of my children childhood and I never wanted that but unfortunately that is what has happened. As you are very aware I do not have family in town and when the holidays roll around and its your turn to have the kids I struggle,Im lonely for them, I cry I miss them sooooooooo much. Yes even 6 years later I will never get use to not having my baby on every holiday but those are the cards life has dealt me. It will forever be painful to send them off to your house half day on Christmas or allow you to have them on my Halloweens because I know all of their friends live in your neighborhood not mine and they will have more fun and they are the most important thing in my life.

I have a RHOBH google alert on my phone and to last night see your wifes social media post of her blended family it cut like a knife. It made me realize yet another year has gone by where I have missed half of my children lives. Its hard enough not seeing them on the holidays but then for you to pour salt in my wound is just mean and unkind please don’t. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just stop the holiday family posts any other time my children step mom has my blessing to snap their picture I get it I made cute kids they are perfect and they are mine.

I will forever have trust issues with men thanks to you and I will forever only see my kids grow up half the time thanks again to you but what Im asking is for you to be a better ex-husband. If there is a concert and your their first saving your parents front row seats save me one too IM THERE MOTHER and its the nice thing to do. If I allow them to spend my Halloweens at your house because their friends all live in your neighborhood possibly invite me to trick or treat with them or Jake.

You and I don’t have to be friends we don’t have to like each other but we will forever have 2 people in common and I really would like you to think about them not me but them. Im begging you to be thoughtful and kind to what I go through especially around the holidays that is it- don’t want to fight and I really do hope that one day you and your wife can experience having a baby of your own that you will have full time and never have to share. thats it B.”

I’m sad for Brandi on a lot of different levels. She was feeling emotional, she was feeling sad and she was really trying to say something larger about how dysfunctional it is to coparent with Eddie. It also sounds like this email came after Brandi and Eddie had some huge blow-up over the phone in which Eddie unloaded on Brandi. God. These two. What I keep coming back to is this: if Brandi is crazy, it’s because she’s been dealing with the fact that her ex-husband is lousy at co-parenting AND he married a woman who wants to wear Brandi’s skin, Buffalo Bill-style. Also: what do you want to bet that LeAnn reads all of Eddie’s emails so of course she read this one too?
