LeAnn Rimes Defends Emotional Jaw Release Video

Singer LeAnn Rimes, 43, recently addressed backlash concerning a viral video that showed her sobbing uncontrollably during a 'deep jaw release' treatment by Human Garage. This wellness group utilizes fascial maneuvers for self-healing and stress release.

During a livestream with Human Garage founder Garry Lineham, Rimes directly refuted claims that her emotional display was performative. She asserted that her reaction was authentic, reflecting a broader personal commitment to honesty and vulnerability in recent years. The procedure involved Lineham placing a hand inside her mouth while a nurse restrained her, leading to Rimes' immediate tears.

Rimes stated that the tension released was significant, and Lineham guided her to acknowledge the end of a difficult phase. The jaw is noted by Human Garage as a primary storage site for stress, often locking due to suppressed emotions or external pressures. The organization promotes their techniques to signal safety to the nervous system, allowing stored emotional energy to be released.

This incident follows Rimes' documented engagement with other unconventional wellness treatments, including a $45,000 plasma exchange therapy. While her husband, Eddie Cibrian, is supportive of her wellness journey, he does not typically participate in these specific treatments.
