LeAnn Rimes looked physically terrific on the cover of Shape magazine but her healthy, fit body was not enough to deter Shape‘s readers from sending in emails to Shape voicing their discontent on the decision to put Rimes on the magazine’s October cover.
Apparently, Shape readers were not happy that someone who has admitted to cheating on her ex-husband (Dean Sheremet with then-married CSI actor Eddie Cibrian) was being praised on the magazine’s cover. They also seem to not have liked the sympathetic tone of the caption: “LeAnn Rimes: How Working Out Saved Me.”
TooFab obtained the email signed by the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Valerie Latona which was sent to the disgruntled readers. The email reads in part:
Please know that our putting [LeAnn Rimes] on the cover was not meant to put a husband-stealer on a pedestal-but to show (through her story) how we all are human. And this woman in particular found strength in exercise in what she said was her most difficult personal moment.
But it did not come across that way … And for that I’m terribly sorry.
Wow: “husband-stealer.” The email doesn’t mince words, does it?
