What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]
- For 18 years, she has fought her husband, Hoyt, over her excessive drinking habit. Which is ironic because Hoyt also is a drunk. At a certain point, she stabbed Hoyt with a fork, which eventually got her arrested and sent to jail.
- When she gets out of jail, everyone, even Boomhauer, has nothing nice to say about her. Hank gives Bobby a signal in case Leanne goes berserk.
- When Luanne quits school in favor of looking for a job, Leanne agrees, showing that she doesn't care about her daughter dropping out of school.
- She took advantage of Bill by spending his money for her lifestyle instead of his foot fungus treatment.
- She indirectly takes over Luanne's puppet show, the Manger Babies, by having Luanne dramatically recreate the fork stabbing incident, disturbing the elderly people watching.
- She goes back to her drinking habit, at one point breaking her court order because of her reckless drinking.
- In a drunken fit of rage, she begins to torture Bill by punching him in the arm and later face, giving him a bruise and a black eye.
- At the party Luanne is at, her alcoholic rage is volatile enough to disturb everyone, even making her daughter cry with embarrassment.
- She tries to attack Buckley after calling her a skank, before later attempting to stab him with a fork until Peggy steps in.
- She lies about Peggy for supposedly "dropping her guard", yet she attacks her. She proudly stated that she attacked her husband, and she'll do the same to Peggy. Obviously, she has no remorse for her actions.
- After she gets beaten up by Peggy, Leanne tries to reconcile with Luanne by fleeing, but she refuses. Her rejection led to Leanne cutting ties with her, saying that she is no longer the "sister".
- To top it all off, she stole Bill's truck after the whole ordeal, to which Bill is allowed to take his truck on the condition that she would never return.
