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.

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."

"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.
