Rimes Spills On Affair, Rehab, Feud With Brandi

This Sunday, E! will air an interview with LeAnn Rimes, letting both fans and haters hear her side of the story.

In an E! interview set to air on Sunday, Dec. 9, LeAnn Rimes opens up about her affair, her stint in a treatment program, and her on-again, off-again Twitter feud with Brandi Glanville.

The first clip released shows a remorseful Rimes.

"I know in this situation, it's going to take some time," Rimes told Giuliana Rancic. "All I wish is that everyone that was hurt, that we hurt, that I hurt, can be happy."

Rimes is referring to her 2009 affair with Eddie Cibrian on the set of their Lifetime movie, Northern Lights. What followed were two divorces that year — first Cibrian in August and then Rimes in December. She'd been married for nine years to her former husband, Dean Sheremet.

She says she wishes she'd handled the situation differently. If she had, it might have been an easier transition for everyone, including Rimes.

The effects of the divorce and the subsequent media storm led to a bleak time for Rimes. It all caught up with her earlier this year and led her to enter a 30-day treatment program.

"When you look around and you go, 'I'm crying, like, uncontrollably, no one can help me,' that's when I knew I had to seek help... I was incredibly depressed and not quite sure of who I was."

Of course, everyone assumed the worst. The badgering from the press hasn't just been on her end, though. The media also have followed Brandi Glanville's every move, and many people have judged and mocked her as she has continued to deal with the divorce (albeit in a very public way on Twitter).

"My heart goes out to her every single time she's getting bashed for something," Cibrian said. "It's unfair for her and it's unfair for us. [The affair] wasn't frivolous, you know."

To see the interview with Rimes (and hopefully find some good news in the midst of all the drama), tune in to E! on Sunday at 8/7c.

Stay home Guiliana and take care of your baby, while you work on your valley girl grammar! UGHHHHH

I thought LeAnn came across as very fake and shallow. I don't think she did herself any favors by doing this interview. I like Giuliana and think she actually comes across as a real person on her reality show. LeAnn should just fade away and enjoy her life.

I think it is all an act and publicity to make themselves seem superior to Brandi. They're trying to portray themselves and completely victimized and ruined by Brandi, when in reality Brandi acts the way she does because she has lost everything. She's surviving, but she sure has every right to feel bitter. Being cheated on is VERY hard to get over, being left for another woman is EVEN HARDER, but the HARDEST thing of all is that Brandi probably feels as if she has lost not only her HUSBAND but her two children to a woman who acts like some innocent lamb. I don't think that Leann Rimes intended on all of this drama, I don't think she's cruel, but I think she's VERY selfish, she wants everything and she's getting it, and she wants everyone to be happy for her, which never going to happen. She's not a good person, she obviously does not have good morals. She might be trying to change, but she took away another woman's Husband and now she's saying that Brandi's kids are her own, is nice for the kids, but if I were Brandi I would be COMPLETELY devastated and scarred and that would be something that I would not be able to let go of for the rest of my life.

Juliana; I watched your interview with LeAnn Rimes last night. I love you and your work and it was clear that LeAnn trusted you. I do however take away one feeling from the interview.....Pathetic. I like LeAnn Rimes and I know that people do grow apart, lending to finding and going with other relationships, but I gained nothing positive from hearing about her dirty laundry. I just seemed sad.

Nice to see Eddie actually showing a little sympathy towards his ex. However is that just for this interview? For the public? Because the email released on Radar Online to Brandi from Eddie shows him attacking her and not addressing her concerns or co parenting the children. What's the truth?
