The Affair That Sparked a Three-Way Feud
The tension between these two women stems from 2009, when rumors surfaced that Eddie Cibrian had cheated on Brandi with LeAnn Rimes. The two met while filming the Lifetime movie Northern Lights. At the time, Rimes was married to actor Dean Sheremet. Cibrian initially denied the allegations, but the affair became undeniable.
Brandi and Cibrian divorced in 2010 after nine years of marriage. They share two sons together, Mason, 22, and Jake, 19. The public fallout was brutal, with Brandi later saying she had violent thoughts. Rimes and Cibrian married in April 2011 and remain together today, celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary last year.

LeAnn Rimes Shuts Down Rumors with a Single Instagram Comment
LeAnn Rimes, 43, completely denied the casting speculation. The “How Do I Live” singer responded directly on Instagram under the Rachel Lindsay podcast post that mentioned the rumors. Rimes wrote, “omg, dying! SCHOOL QUEEN, no, no…no housewives for me.” She also referenced her current acting gig on 911 Nashville.
Her response was swift and definitive, leaving no room for speculation. LeAnn made clear she’s focused on her music career and television roles. The country star seems entirely unbothered by Brandi’s public jab. Her tone was playful rather than defensive, suggesting she’s moved past the years-long feud.
Will the Feud Ever Truly End, or Is This Just the Beginning?
Interestingly, Brandi and LeAnn reportedly reached peace years ago. In 2018, Brandi revealed they had a serious conversation during a birthday party celebration. She said they “had it out” about what’s right for the children. The two apparently worked through their differences, with Brandi even spending holidays at Eddie and LeAnn’s home recently.
Despite this progress, Brandi’s latest post suggests the underlying resentment still simmers beneath the surface. Whether this is genuine anger or playful shade remains unclear. LeAnn’s casual denial suggests she’s not taking Brandi’s comments seriously. Co-parenting relationships are complex, and social media moments can quickly reignite old wounds. Will they reconcile again, or has this casting rumor opened a new chapter of drama?
