LeAnn Rimes is suing California teacher, Kimberly Smiley, for invasion of privacy after she allegedly tape recorded a telephone conversation with the country singer, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.

"After years of defaming and harassing Ms. Rimes on the Internet, instigating others to do so as well, Defendants and various unknown individuals acting in concert with them crossed the line," the lawsuit asserts. "With neither Ms. Rimes' knowledge nor consent, Defendants secretly made a recording of a private telephone conversation with Ms. Rhimes. They then conspired to spitefully ensure that out-of-context excerpts would be disseminated to the public on various websites and referenced in several online articles in an effort to portray Ms. Rimes in an egregious false and negative light and cause her emotional distress."

Rimes is also suing Lexi Smiley and alleges that both defendants are supporters of LeAnn's husband, Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville.

As previously reported, Rimes was engaged in a very public Twitter war earlier this month after one follower berated her for her affair with Eddie.

Right before the very public war, however, Rimes had a far more bizarre meltdown, going on a profanity-laced tirade against Kimberly Smiley who had stopped following the star on twitter, and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusive details of how LeAnn found and confronted Smiley. Breaking Celebrity News has confirmed that at the time of the tirade, Smiley had switched her Twitter account settings to private.
