Carly's family is angry about Rimes throwing the young singer under the bus with her 'X Factor' performance
Listen to LeAnn Rimes on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Carly Rose Sonenclar's family is royally pissed off at LeAnn Rimes for - as they put it - trashing their daughter's "X Factor" performance Tuesday night.
Sources connected with the family tell TMZ that the 13-year-old girl's mother is livid that Rimes would dare say Carly Rose was "nervous and had trouble hitting the right notes" when she sang "How Do I Live."
As you know, Carly Rose did a duet of the song with Rimes on the show. People on social media went crazy after the performance, claiming Rimes was drunk.
TMZ broke the story that Rimes insists she was sober, but says if things were awkward, it was only because, "I was trying to help this 13-year-old girl who was having some trouble with the song." Rimes later claimed she never gave a quote, but TMZ reports, her rep specifically gave TMZ the quote to use.
Carly Rose's mother and other relatives are telling people they can't believe LeAnn threw their daughter under the bus, and that it was clear that Carly Rose was a pro and even out-performed LeAnn at her own song.
