LeAnn Rimes Is SUING A Former Twitter Follower For Recording Crazy Phone Call

Guess that phone call LeAnn Rimes made to a Twitter follower actually happened because the singer is suing the woman on the other end of the line!
A Northern California teacher told sources that she was surprised to pick up her phone last March and hear LeAnn's voice saying:
"Hey bitch, this is LeAnn you have 5 minutes to say whatever you want to me!"
Eddie Cibrian's emotionally troubled wife is claiming that this Kimberly Smiley illegally recorded the crazy convo and released audio bits on the internet to spite her.
While Smiley claims she was basically berated with angry profanity during the unexpected call, LeAnn says she was simply trying to get the complete stranger "cyber bully" to stop harassing her through online social media.
Since recording a phone call without consent from both parties is illegal in Cali, LeAnn's lawyer plans to "take all of the appropriate steps to address the harm that [she] has suffered as a result of this criminal conduct."
The defendant says she DID NOT try to sell the recording and her daughter Lexi — who is also being sued in the $25,000 suit — only recorded the call because of how "outrageous" LeAnn's comments were.
This story wouldn't be complete without a comment from Real Housewife Brandi Glanville who has said:
"The whole thing is just ridiculous. It's just a celebrity who's too full of herself."
Smiley is arguing that she only shared the audio with a few friends, one of which leaked it to Cibrian's angry ex.
This is pretty wild, so we're definitely curious to see where this thing goes. Do U think that LeAnn's lawsuit has merit here or did she bring this upon herself when she decided to call a former follower and yell at her over the phone?

Look at the fucking article you referenced Brandi hasn't commented on it like you claim…
The law is the law. So she has the right to sue. But, Leann did bring this on herself.
wth?! If someone calls you, why can't you record it? It's not like the woman set her up! If i had some crazy celebrity after me, I'd record it for my own safety too! LeAnn has gone of the freaking deepend.
typical Asshole Mario. Relentlessly pick on some one having mental issues. Then if something happens he will go on & on about how sad it is. You do know its creeps like you causing her emotional problems. Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully Bully
This LeAnn chick is HIGH all the time, steals men from other women…is a TRAMP of the 1st degree….Another HoHan ?
Leann has gone off the deep end…Seriously…she hunted this woman down..who she didn't know from Adam..since when do celebs respond to fans like this..like me or i'm going to hunt you down! Wow…i would have recorded it too.Leann isn't in her right mind…
YOU can't steal a man who doesn't want to be stolen. But regardless of the mistakes she's made in the past, bullying her will never make it right. Leave this poor girl alone. Life is too short to concern yourself with the mistakes of others. Concern yourself with your own mistakes and make it right. The law is the law and she has a right to sue, celebrity or not!
Why do you refer to LeAnn as "emotionally troubled? Perez? Oh yeah, cuz she is a rich, white famous female…something you're jealous of…something you wish you were.
LeAnn brought this upon herself. She needs to grow up, people are going to like you hate you talk shit bout you its life. We have a right to have our own opinions rather ther right or not. Shes a Singer if she can't handle it by now maybe she should get out of the industry. If this was the other way around and we called her we'd probably get slapped with harassment charges or something to that affect. However law is law, and she's just stupid. Better be careful what you say she might hunt you down and call you next. Lol
Very bizarre, I'm confused. Why would LeAnn call her? How did she get her number? WTH?
Um… it's NOT illegal to record a phone conversation. You only need ONE consenting party. How do you think people are able to wear a wire, record a conversation and that evidence is permissible in court? Duh. Good luck to Leann with that case. I just hope she seeks out the mental health treatment she needs.
Re: Tracee – Because they get a warrant from a judge.
Damn slow much? I learned that first thing this morning from another site, that obviously is way more up to date. You need to get with it Perez!
Love how this women instantly turns in her own daughter admitting she did the crime. Regardless of whether Leanne is nuts to pursue this they did the crime. Leanne yelled at them (how terrible!) but they committed a felony.
I actually met LeAnn Rimes years ago briefly and quickly lost all respect I had for her. I never listened to her music again.
She was rude, full of herself and lacked any class.
They're all idiots in this situation.
May the Lord continue to look after LeAnn and give her the strength to over come the words out of those who do nothing but tear down her EVERY move. (bowing my head).
God bless her always!!!
Holly in East Tennessee (a day one fan of her).
P.S. I can't wait to hear her new songs! (big smile)
I don't care how thin she gets, that girl is U-G-L-Y!! Gross!
Where can I find the tape recording, or has it already been taken down??
Oh my gosh! This is my ex's aunt!
