LeAnn Rimes Swears: I Am NOT Anorexic!

by at .

LeAnn Rimes says she feels bullied by weight critics.

At the same time, she gets an awful lot of press because of said critics and by going back and forth on Twitter with them and speaking out on television.

Just saying.

Eddie Cibrian's wife says, in an interview with the AP, that her weight has definitely gone up and down, but doesn't see this as a reason to be concerned.

"[When I] was going through a divorce, I couldn't get out of bed... I gained 10 pounds, then I lost 10 pounds because I'm moving around and working," she said.

"I don't stop, and no one sees that [a woman's weight loss] actually can happen like naturally. It's a natural progression of life."

"It has to be some big deal and some issue," the country star added. "I'm glad there are people out there that are smarter than that and they don't buy into it."

"I was told when I was little I couldn't have an opinion because you want everyone to buy your record and like you," she said. "I'm not gonna apologize."

No one asked her to, but good to know.

In an interview with The Ellen DeGeneres Show last month, Rimes addressed the rumors, once again, that she was struggling with an eating disorder.

"[The press has] been very irresponsible [about] calling a lot of people fat or anorexic or bulimic or whatever it may be," she said. "It seems like bullying now ... instead of really taking these diseases seriously that a lot of people are going through."

We can't argue with her on that point.

    She is WAY 2 skinny. I can understand wanting 2 lose weight & feel better about yourself. I'm dieting & eating better myself. I went from 190 to 168. I'm already happy. If I don't lose anymore I will be ok with it but I'm just trying not 2 gain it back. I would NEVER Wanna be a size 0! That's way 2 small. A size 12 or 14 is good 4 me.

    Yesterday, when I voiced an opinion about Leann Rimes, I felt like the final 3 or 4 sentences came out TOTALLY wrong. What I really meant to say was this...(1) if there is 1 thing that I CANNOT stand in this world, it's whiny people and (2) Leann, if you feel like you're not anorexic, that's fine and all. Just stop talking about it. My apologies all-around if I've offended or confused anyone. It's just that...whenever I speak out about something, I tend to get emotionally outspoken and emotionally passionate VERY EASILY!!! Again, my apologies. Until next time...PEACE-OUT, YA'LL!!!!!

    Leann, you need to get over yourself ALREADY!!! You are turning yourself into another OPRAH...in that you're becoming a media-hungry HOG!!! STOP IT!!! Also, you WEREN'T full of whiny-ass behavior when you STOLE Eddie from Brandi!!! Brandi is (among other things) beautiful, classy, gracious, honest and straightforward!!! Leann, you are NONE of these things!!! Whatever happened to the REAL LEANN...the one that USED TO fully concentrate on her music and usually stayed drama-free? I wonder. Leann, I used to be a big fan of yours back in da' day but those days are NOW OVER!!! The Bottom Line here for me is that there are 2 things that I CANNOT stand...dishonest people and lousy liars!!! One FINAL thing: Leann...you ARE NOT anorexic!!! So, STOP saying that you are!!! PERIOD!!!

    I don't think she looks anorexic. And this is probably a slimming picture of her.
