Many years ago, singer LeAnn Rimes had an affair with the actor known as Eddie Cibrian. This affair made all the headlines, since LeAnn and Eddie are both well-known names in the entertainment industry. Likewise, Eddie already wore a marital ring that bound him to a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, so this narrative also made its way to Bravo. Here, further backlash quickly formed against this duo.
Once this sneaky cat ran out of its bag, LeAnn and Eddie left their partners for each other. They married shortly after. Now, LeAnn is opening up about this time in their lives, stressing that the backlash they received could have been the result of a few misguided feelings.
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s affair led to huge public anger
In a recent interview with Flow Space, a site focused on women’s health, LeAnn first touched on her music career. Then, she segwayed into her affair with Eddie. Before news of their affair broke, LeAnn maintained a carefully curated image for her fans. But women are not fans of cheating storylines, so her image began to take a downward spiral in the press.
LeAnn then reflected on “all of the craziness [she and Eddie] went through.” Thankfully, she can understand why her fans felt such a strong reaction to her affair with Eddie. But LeAnn also feels “that there are a lot of women who’ve been hurt,” including her, as she has “been cheated on, too. So I know that feeling,” she said.
“But so many women don’t know what to do with that anger. I was a target that” people “easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier. Instead of taking it so personally, it’s like, look: This is not all my pain to carry,” LeAnn explained.
Furthermore, LeAnn knows what she was “responsible for in the situation, and [I made] amends for [what I did]. But you know, the world’s pain is not mine to carry, LeAnn said. Regardless, that pain was “thrown at me for a long time,” she ended.
Thankfully, Eddie and LeAnn are now on friendlier terms with their fans. They are also faring well with Brandi Glanville, the Bravo star Eddie cheated on with LeAnn.
