Brandi Glanville has criticized country singer LeAnn Rimes for sharing an emotional video of her recent jaw release treatment. Glanville, who has also undergone the same procedure multiple times for her TMJ issues, said she doesn't understand why Rimes would share such a vulnerable moment. Glanville acknowledged that the treatment is very painful, but said she has a high pain tolerance. Rimes' video showed the 'exact moment the tension breaks and the emotional weight lifts' during the procedure.

Why it matters

The comments highlight the ongoing tension between Glanville and Rimes, who were both married to actor Eddie Cibrian. Glanville has been open about her own health struggles, including a mysterious parasite infection and a breast implant rupture, and has sought advice from Rimes in the past. The jaw treatment video seems to have struck a nerve with Glanville, who feels Rimes shouldn't have shared such a personal moment.

The details

In the video, Rimes can be seen crying during the 'deep jaw release' treatment she underwent late last month. The procedure involves a practitioner going inside the mouth to release tension in the jaw area, which Glanville says is very painful. Glanville, who has had the same treatment multiple times, said she just has a higher pain tolerance. Rimes' video caption explained that the jaw is a 'primary storage site for stress' and that the treatment allows 'stored energy to move.'

  • Rimes underwent the jaw release treatment in late March 2026.
  • Glanville discussed Rimes' video on the April 2, 2026 episode of her 'Unfiltered' podcast.
