LeAnn Rimes may have “invented” her recent 30-day treatment stint as a “twisted publicity stunt to garner public sympathy,” suggests Star magazine.
The tabloid wonders why Rimes didn’t specifically cite drugs, alcohol or an eating disorder as the reason behind her treatment, claiming “there is little evidence she ever went anywhere.”
But why would Rimes allegedly fake the whole thing?
According to Star, the “country crooner has endured years of bad press,” somehow supposedly making it plausible that she’d have entered treatment back in August to drum up positive headlines.
The mag writes, “Instead of writing new songs, some are whispering LeAnn chose rehab as the easiest way to revive her career, believing that people would take her side out of pity.”
Oh, so instead of any actual evidence that this was all fake, Star wants to pass off random, anonymous “whispers” as proof of Rimes’ alleged stunt?
Maybe it’s because the outlet’s track record with “rehab” stories is so dismal.
“It is embarrassingly false,” a source close to Rimes tells Gossip Cop of Star’s wild speculation.
