Country-pop princess LeAnn Rimes is being candid and expressing her feelings about the emotional storm surrounding her affair, breakup, and marriage to Eddie Cibrian, a married actor at the time. The fling, which the pair began in 2009 when they were both already married to other people, Rimes to Dean Sheremet, Cibrian to Brandi Glanville, earned intense public ire. Now, at 42, the singer is opening up about what she refers to as the "craziness" of that time in her life.
On this most recent episode of Flow Space, Rimes explained that she did not shy away from the heavy emotions that were an inevitable part of the territory. "I realized very quickly that there are a lot of women who've been hurt," she said. Her perspective is informed by the lived experience of being the sidepiece, yes, but also of betraying herself. "I've been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling," she confessed.

Tabloid fuel for years, the affair flourished during the filming of Northern Lights. But for Rimes, the battle was about learning to confront the storm inside. "But so many women don't know what to do with that anger," she said. "I was a target that was just easily projected upon." But unlike willingly wallowing in public opinion, Rimes elected to explore instead. She turned inward, charting the line between self-realization and public scrutiny. That change, she said, made all the difference. "And once I realized that, things got a lot easier."
Rimes has also opened up about how she has had to learn not to take criticism personally. Now, years into her marriage to Cibrian, Rimes appears at peace, anchored by the wisdom she's gained and the healing she's earned. Her story serves as a poignant reminder that life's most messy chapters often reveal the most about ourselves. And in a culture that's all too eager to throw stones, her resistance glimmers as a quiet act of defiance.
