15 Celebs Who’ve Been Bullied on Social Media and How Some Fought Back Brilliantly

2. LeAnn Rimes

Several years ago, LeAnn Rimes was embroiled in a cycle of cyber-bullying that caused her to check into a treatment facility to cope with her resulting anxiety over the situation. Rimes had a phone conversation that was recorded illegally and shared over the Internet. The women who recorded the call harassed Rimes on Twitter, repeatedly calling her nasty names. Many people have taken online shots at Rimes over the years, dismayed that she hooked up with a married man while still married herself. In fact, Brandi Glanville, the jilted wife in this situation, has engaged in a bitter back-and-forth battle with Rimes for years, both airing their family’s dirty laundry over the Internet. However this particular online bullying incident crossed the line, and Rimes took legal action.
