Brandi Glanville takes to Twitter to set record straight on support for LeAnn Rimes on singing show
Brandi Glanville took to Twitter on Thursday to clarify her support for The Masked Singer winner LeAnn Rimes.
The 48-year-old reality star had been criticized on social media for posting about LeAnn, 38, being the Sun before the season four finale aired Wednesday on Fox.
‘Hope my kids bonus mom The Sun” Leanne Rines wins the masked singer tonight #Spitfire,’ Brandi tweeted Wednesday before the show for her roughly 805,000 followers.

She later tweeted while the finale was airing on the West Coast: ‘I want to say it but I won’t because I’m on NyQuil with a sore throat …it’s not over until the masked lady sings’.
That tweet also was roundly criticized in the comments with some accusing Brandi of being angry, disrespectful and hateful.
The former star of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills despite still feeling under the weather sought to settle the matter on social media.
‘First of all I did not shade or diss lean rimes I rooted for her to win. She clearly told my kids that she’d never do the show to keep things a secret because they have big mouths. She deserved to win I’m glad she won! stop reading into s***!,’ Brandi tweeted Thursday.

LeAnn has been married since April 2011 to Brandi’s ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, 47.
Eddie and LeAnn were both married when they had an affair with each other leading to divorces.
Brandi has sons Mason, 17, and Jake, 13, with Eddie and her referring to LeAnn as the boys’ ‘bonus mom’ in her tweet marked a significant thawing in their icy relationship.

LeAnn during the finale while disguised as Sun performed the 2007 song The Story by Brandi Carlile that she previously covered for her Remnants album and said the song was a ‘tribute’ to the person who has encouraged her to fly.
‘Our bond is a testament that love really does conquer all,’ she said.
LeeAnn also released a new song Wednesday titled Throw My Arms Around The World along with an accompanying behind-the-scenes music video.
