LeAnn Rimes is no stranger to judgment. So, she’s come to the right place! “You know, they can take it down one road or another,” the singer explains to Joan Rivers & Co. on the latest episode of Fashion Police, airing tonight at 10 p.m. on E!, when Joan tells her that she thinks the press has treated her “abominably.”
“You got together with a married man, blah blah blah…so did Angelina Jolie! And she’s become a [bleeping] goddess,” marvels Joan. Smiling, LeAnn agrees that the media hasn’t given her any free passes since she and now-hubby Eddie Cibrian got together, divorcing their respective spouses in the process. “They can take it down a negative road,” she says. “If they want you to be happy and they love you, they’ll take it down that road! So it’s amazing how much control they have over people’s lives and the perception, you know…It’s just been quite an interesting four-and-a-half years.” Joan also wonders, fabulously bluntly, why LeAnn bothers to engage with people on Twitter. Or, more specifically, why Leann picks fights via Twitter? “I don’t pick fights!” LeAnn insists. “I do stand up for myself every once in a while. But can you imagine the stuff that I just let go?”
