LeAnn Rimes has 'severe eating disorder'

Los Angeles - LeAnn Rimes has been accused of having a "severe eating disorder".

The 30-year-old How Do I Live singer - who went to rehab for 30 days last summer because she wanted to learn how to properly cope with her anxiety and stress - allegedly isn't fit to be around her stepsons, according to their mother Brandy Glanville, who claims her son Mason, nine, was "extremely ill" after accidentally ingesting one of LeAnn's laxatives.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 40 - who was previously married to LeAnn's husband Eddie Cibrian with whom she shares sons, Mason and Jake, five, - told USMagazine.com: "I, unfortunately, don't find her to be stable and I don't want her around my kids when Eddie's not there - or at least the nanny, his parents, someone.

'Candies'

"Mason, my eldest, ate some of Le's candies and got extremely ill. And Le's candies are laxatives. It was a big f**king deal for me, and I lost my mind.

"LeAnn has a severe eating disorder. She has one (a laxative) in every purse. Mason found it on the floor and thought it was a Skittle! They don't keep sugar in the house. He thought he finally found candy.

"He gets extremely sick, and that freaks me the f**k out. Mason told me about it, and then Eddie's assistant, who was working for me at the time, also told me about it out of concern for my children.

"I e-mailed, e-mailed, called, called - no answers. Couldn't even discuss it. He refuses to even be in the same room as me. He can't have a parent-teacher conference if I'm there. I don't know how to do this when I can't talk to the father of my children and his new wife. I don't know what to do."

LeAnn's spokesperson denied the allegations and said: "Just more inaccuracies and half-truths."

Her husband Eddie, 39, also issued a statement in support of the singer and called Brady's accusations "ridiculous".

He said: "My wife, LeAnn, continues to be a loving and positive influence on the lives of my sons. They are without a doubt lucky to have her."
