Country superstar LeAnn Rimes checked into rehab after Twitter trolls unleashed a torrent of abuse, Celebuzz has learned.

Rimes, 30, voluntarily entered a 30 day in-patient treatment facility to cope with anxiety and stress, it was announced Thursday.

“She is simply there to learn and develop coping mechanisms,” her rep said.

Celebuzz has learned part of the reason for Rimes’ treatment is months of unrelenting abuse on the internet and Twitter.


“It hasn’t stopped and they are clearly offensive,” a source close to the situation said. “It has been a campaign of abuse.”

One website, titled LunaticLeAnnRimes, has posted unrelenting messages and derided her appearance in photos with husband Eddie Cibrian, who was formerly married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville.
