LeAnn Rimes sobbed uncontrollably while undergoing “deep jaw release therapy.”
On Monday, self-care provider Human Garage shared a video to Instagram of the country singer undergoing a 60-second procedure to relieve tension in his jaw.
In the footage, Ms Rhimes can be seen moaning in pain as specialist Garry Lineham puts one hand in her mouth and another person holds her head down.
As soon as the procedure was finished, the songwriter was shocked by the result and burst into tears.
“Say, ‘That part of my life is over,'” Lineham instructed her, to which she responded, “That part of my life should be over.”
“Oh my god, you have no idea how much tension there is,” Rhimes said as she calmed down and caught her breath.
“You can see exactly the moment when the tension melts away, the emotional weight lifts, and she feels visibly lighter and more attuned,” Human Garage wrote of the experience in the caption.
While the procedure was quite shocking and emotional for the Grammy winner, 43, many fans in the comments section were upset by the vulnerable video.
“Oh my god, why do I need to see this!” one user asked.
However, the “How to Live” hitmaker clapped back at the haters in the comments section.
“Why? I approved of it. I’m a human like anyone else and I want to share my experience in hopes that we all heal together,” Rhimes explained.
Her jaw surgery came after the musician suffered a tooth injury on stage last summer.
While singing at the Skagit Casino Resort in Washington, D.C., her dental bridge fell off and the tooth fell out.
“It felt like something was popping in my mouth,” she explained on Instagram after the show. “And if you’ve been around, you know I’ve had a lot of dental surgeries. And I have a bridge in the front, and it fell off last night in the middle of a song.”
Rhimes said she “panicked” before running to the side of the stage to secure her dentures, and quickly returned to the microphone, but had to push them back “every few lines.”
The “Can’t Resist the Moonlight” songstress laughed off the mishap at the time, even calling it “the most epic experience ever.”
