The two remain friendly following a bitter affair with Glanville’s ex-husband
33-year-old singer LeAnn Rimes had reportedly had an affair with her now-husband Eddie Cibrian in 2009. He was actually married to Brandi Glanville at the time, and she made the affair very well-known while on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
While speaking with The Times, she was asked about her relationship with Glanville and whether they are on amicable terms.
“Um, yeah, at the moment! Ha ha. It’s been a rough road. I do not recommend it or wish it on anyone. My confidence got knocked down a lot and I had to find my way back,” she responded.
Rimes opened up about not having much freedom growing up, as she supported her family as a child star. The singer also said she bought her own clothes as early as seven years old.
Explaining her upbringing, she revealed: “[I was] in the spotlight with all eyes on me since I was a child. I never had the freedom to be a kid. By 11 I was everyone’s job. It was so quick. You go from nought to sixty, having a demo and then being a household name, within days. I never just had normal-kid experiences. I was out working and had all these responsibilities: 60, 70 people on the road with me by the time I was 14. I was always surrounded by adults. It was odd.”
Rimes sued her father, who was also her manager, along with another manager in the year 2000 claiming they took $7 million from her as a child. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, but the singer has always felt she was let down by her father.
“I wanted my dad to be my dad, you know? I really don’t think it’s possible to have a healthy relationship where parents are managing you and they’re also supposed to be your parents. As a family we were all let down by each other in some way. I know that going through a lawsuit with his daughter was pretty traumatizing for him too,” Rimes explained.
