Brandi Glanville has accused ex-husband Eddie Cibrian of asking her for child support.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star - who has two sons, Jake, six, and Mason, 10, with Eddie - has hit back at fans who have slammed her for "taking cheap shots" at her former spouse in her new book Drinking And Dating.
