LeAnn Rimes has been accused of "severe eating disorder"

The 30-year-old `How Do I Live` singer - who went to rehab for 30 days last summer because she wanted to learn how to properly cope with her anxiety and stress - allegedly isn`t fit to be around her step-sons, according to their mother Brandy Glanville, who claims her son Mason, nine, was "extremely ill" after accidently ingesting one of LeAnn`s laxatives.

The `Real Housewives of Beverly Hills`, 40, star - who was previously married to LeAnn`s husband Eddie Cibrian with whom she shares sons, Mason, nine and Jake, five, - told USMagazine.com: "I, unfortunately, don`t find her to be stable and I don`t want her around my kids when Eddie`s not there - or at least the nanny, his parents, someone.

"Mason, my eldest, ate some of Le`s candies and got extremely ill. And Le`s candies are laxatives. It was a big f**king deal for me, and I lost my mind.

"LeAnn has a severe eating disorder. She has one (a laxative) in every purse. Mason found it on the floor and thought it was a Skittle! They don`t keep sugar in the house. He thought he finally found candy.

"He gets extremely sick, and that freaks me the f**k out. Mason told me about it, and then Eddie`s assistant, who was working for me at the time, also told me about it out of concern for my children. I emailed, emailed, called, called - no answers. Couldn`t even discuss it. He refuses to even be in the same room as me. He can`t have a parent-teacher conference if I`m there. I don`t know how to do this when I can`t talk to the father of my children and his new wife. I don`t know what to do."

LeAnn`s spokesperson denied the allegations and said: "Just more inaccuracies and half-truths."

Her husband Eddie, 39, also issued a statement in support of the singer and called Brady`s accusations "ridiculous".
He said: "My wife, LeAnn, continues to be a loving and positive influence on the lives of my sons. They are without a doubt lucky to have her."
