Who knew LeAnn Rimes offended so many people? But then again – a husband stealing cheater would offend many! Enough readers complained about her appearance on the cover of ‘Shape‘ and her interview inside the magazine back in October that editor-in-chief Valerie Latona actually had to apologize in an email sent out to subscribers.

Per Too Fab:

Subject: To my dear Shape readers

You are all in good company (why I’m e-mailing you all together) as you all agree Shape has made a terrible mistake in putting LeAnn Rimes on the cover.

Please know that our putting her 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.

I hope that we can do better the next time for those of you that will give us another chance.

Humbly,

Valerie

Ouch. Considering that Rimes probably helped sell thousands of copies of Shape with her interview, that’s one hell of a thank you. What did you think of their decision to put her on the cover? Were you upset over it?
