LeAnn Rimes is opening up about the intense backlash she and her now-husband, Eddie Cibrian, faced after their affair became public. At the time, both were married to other people. Rimes suggested that she became a “target” for people who were already upset.

"The world's pain is not mine to carry, and I think that really got thrown at me for a long time," the singer reflected about how she met her now-husband.

LeAnn Rimes told Flow Space in a new interview that she felt much of the hate directed at her over her affair was projection from "a lot of women who've been hurt."
