Eddie Cibrian: ‘A $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever’

wenn20821587

Two nights ago, Eddie Cibrian spent the majority of his time on the red carpet for The Best Man Holiday trying to wrestle his way out of his wife’s Falcor grip. She was grabbing him, rubbing him and putting her tongue on him throughout the red carpet, and it was uncomfortable. And kind of funny. It was just the kind of show we expected following last week’s tabloid reports of the trouble in delusional paradise. Also funny: when Eddie finally managed to pry LeAnn’s talons off of his body, he then had to defend his marriage to the press outlets on the carpet. Eddie went to Access Hollywood and said this:

Cibrian said, “It’s just ludicrous. They say we’re going through a $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever.” Eddie added that he and LeAnn just laugh off the rumors. “Most of the time, all you can do is laugh because it’s so out there and outrageous.”

Cibrian explained that they decided to do a reality show in order to dispel rumors. “There were a lot of things going on, reasons why we made this decision. One of them was that people have misconceptions. The tabloid fodder is just out of control. People think they know us, and they don’t, so we wanted to give them a glimpse into who we really are.”

Eddie said his wife’s support means the world to him. “I’ll go with her and support her when she’s going out in concerts. She’s here to support me… that’s what a married couple does.”

[From Extra]

Although I don’t think he’s very bright, I think the wording Eddie has been choosing for the past week… well, it’s been very interesting. All of his words are very open to parsing and analysis. Like, “They say we’re going through a $50-million divorce… they just have no fact checking whatsoever.” Okay, so what part needs to be fact-checked? The $50 million figure? Because he’s right – their combined assets do NOT equal $50 million. Maybe $20-25 million on a good day. Also, gotta love that he worked in a shill for the reality show. LOL.

A source (with hooves and talons) also told Us Weekly: “They’ve been laughing off rumors of his infidelity. They really don’t take all the reports too seriously and have been doing fine.” Sure. Like, they’ve specifically been laughing and laughing about the infidelity rumors? But have they laughed about the rumors that their marriage is terrible? Have they laughed about the rumors that LeAnn is obsessed with his ex-wife to the point where she copies everything Brandi says, does and wears? No, they just laugh about the infidelity. Rumors.

    Well he’s right in the sense that people DO think they know them. Easiest way to stop that is for Leanne to stay the eff off twitter and no, a reality TV show is not a big enough Band-Aid to fix this mess.

  2. T.Fanty says:

    Yeah. He’s already done ALL the research, and those figures are way off.

    It would be MUCH less than that, so obviously, he loves his wife.

    • Bridget says:

      If Eddie was worth $12 million on his own (likethe article states) there would have been an Eddie shaped hole in the door.

      Side note, when I see Brandi ‘movin on up’ on RHBH I just want to shake her and tell her to save her money!

    • Green Girl says:

      That’s how I read his comments, too.

      On a side note, I just realized Leann has been in the spotlight for more than 20 years. That’s….actually, I don’t know how I feel about that, especially since she started when she was so young.

  3. arabella says:

    Can someone explain the Falcor reference? This is such a train wreck.

  4. Size Does Matter says:

    Am I the only one seeing a bump in that top picture? Pregnancy hormones could explain the super-cling.

    • Len says:

      Not a baby bump. He allegedly got sniped a looong time ago. Given all the rumors, it’s probably the booze baby she’s carrying.

      • Meaghan says:

        You can get a reversal. I know a guy who did, he got one when he was married, got divorced and remarried a much younger woman who wanted kids. Its much worse then the original, but after its just a little lower of a sperm count.

      • Len says:

        True but then he’s have to wrap it up with all of his side pieces and he is not about to start making that sacrifice.

      • apsutter says:

        Some men can get a reversal. It’s not something that works for everyone

      • Ag says:

        On a random public service announcement note, vasectomies have a failure rate of 0.5% – my doctor told me to stick with an IUD or the pill.

        So, perhaps Falcor will be knocked up one day. Small chance. 🙂

    • Amory says:

      If she had a bump, she would be all sorts of holding the belly and making it obvious. And he is fixed. If there were ever two people not to procreate, I think it’s them. She has some serious issues to work out before having children, and he does not seem responsible for the ones he already has.

    • Lucyohmy says:

      I think that’s a wine bump

    • claire says:

      She’s been occasionally looking pregnant for about a year.

    • betty says:

      If Eddie wanted more kids he would have gotten a reversal . He wants no more kids with any woman especially not with Leann. He can’t afford to pay the child support ordered plus his job prospects aren’t plentiful. I doubt he would want to be tied to Leann for life

      • Vanderhootchie says:

        Not plentiful? You’re too kind. Non-existent is more like it. Clinging to your husband like that in every shot is just so desperate, over-done and obvious. 🙁

    • respect says:

      the baby is named don julio

    • TheTruthHurts says:

      Oh Goddddddddd! Enough with the baby speculation from everyone! This has been going on for two years now! SHE IS NOT PREGNANT, SHE IS JUST FAT & LOOKS HORRIBLE.

      • Annie2 says:

        She most certainly is NOT fat

      • Lady Satan says:

        I wouldn’t say “fat” but she has got some serious booze-bloat going on. Her face looks awful (and the smarmy-smug expression is NOT helping) and the weight gain doesn’t look healthy – it just looks like booze weight or coke bloat.

        If they’re still together this time next year, I’ll be very surprised.

  5. Melissabee says:

    I sense that the end is near. It will be almost too painful to watch. ALMOST.

  6. aims says:

    their denials can be open for interpretation. The cheating, not taking it to seriously. It’s a weird denial.

    If a happily married couple were asked about cheating, they would be so offended. They would take seriously because it would be slanderous. The whole thing is weird.

    • Dia says:

      I agree, there is nothing funny about cheating allegations and divorce. They should be offended but they are just laughing instead…huh?

    • atrain says:

      I thought the “laughing off rumours of his infidelity” comment was really strange, because there really haven’t been rumours of cheating. Of course, with these two, cheating will always be something people expect, but there haven’t been any tabloid stories or anything about him cheating.

    • claire says:

      I love how they spend so much time telling people they don’t think about the negative criticism, they laugh hysterically at all the rumors and accusations. Then in the next sentence they plug the TV show which they have said is ALL about changing people’s minds and showing them their TRUTH. So what you’re telling us is you do care and you do think about it. We all know you do. It’s why Leann spends 24/7 on Twitter trying to prove how happy they are. Just. Shut. UP.

    • msw says:

      They don’t care, they’re both proven liars a bazillion times over. No need to come up with fancy ways to tell tge “truth” when you dont GAF.

    • TheTruthHurts says:

      They both say the exact same talking points down to the letter. Publicist fed. It’s so transparent.

  7. KSPaula says:

    I guess I never looked close enough to notice that he is even squint-ier than she is – I would not have thought it possible.

  8. Not says:

    50 mil, hahahahahahaha. Yáll tryna kill me over here.

  9. marina says:

    Yeah, because he’s thinking $100 Million. That’s the part they got wrong. HAHAHA

  10. brin says:

    Poor Ediot not only has to put up with Wewe’s clutching, groping and nasty tongue, he has to answer questions about his failing marriage on the red carpet. Love karma.

    • michele says:

      Agree Brin me too, he asked for it and he’s getting it in spades. He’s earning that new car and motorcycle now! haha She’s no where near attractive in anyway in these pics. And can’t she let him pose alone like the other actors were able to? #clingingwife

    • Tracy says:

      Love it! 🙂

  11. S says:

    “We just laugh.” That’s their response to EVERYTHING. They must be laughing all of the freaking time.

    Not to mention, between Twitter, Instagram, interviews and LeAnn’s album, there hasn’t been a day when you haven’t told your side of the story, and it hasn’t ever changed. You’re not bringing anything new to the table with this reality show. The “Wrecker” photo? Yep, we get that was your side of the story, loud and clear.

  12. ojulia123 says:

    People have misconceptions about them so they’re doing a *scripted* television show to allow people to see how they “really” are? Wait – WHAT?

    Also, I believe him when he says that the press is wrong about the $50 million dollars…I’m sure Eddie knows down the very last cent what LeAnn is worth (and how much he would get if they divorce).

  13. Cindy says:

    Laughing?
    Yes, we all are HPV Eddie, and the joke’s on you.
    Having to stand next to that wrecking ball of hillbilly crazy and eat what she shoves down your throat, well, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy 😉
    hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  14. Christin says:

    Fifty million dimes or possibly quarters (not dollars) is probably closer to the mark.

    His recent remarks are vague as can be. He just strings together little key words that sound ridiculous. She’s trained him well.

    • respect says:

      the psychotic epissodes are merely speedbumps…

    • briargal says:

      Didn’t you see her hand on his back, making his mouth move like a duimmy? She’s amazing–she can make her voice sound just like his while spewing out her words. Dummy and dummyier!

  15. Samtha says:

    Why do people keep calling this a reality show? Just because it’s supposedly based on their lives? Well then, so was Everybody Hates Raymond, which was loosely based on Ray Romano’s life and comedy routine.

    They have scripts. They cast actors in the parts. Sounds pretty much like a regular comedy to me.

    • msw says:

      SueAnn doesn’t know the difference between reality and script. And I’m not being cute, i really think she doesn’t know.

    • respect says:

      it cannot be a reality…there is no reality (apart from an std and a drained bank account) in wewe’s so called life.

  16. Relli says:

    LOVE that Cruds got his own post on the uncool Budget Bermuda Triangle, he is the unsung force who keeps it all going.

    • Christin says:

      So true. He is the one who has talked the least (in public), but really is the leading *player* when you think about it.

      • Relli says:

        Abosolutley! Also I want to know who this source is because that wording sounds suspiciously like someone straight out of East Tennessee if you know what I mean!

  17. Greenieweenie says:

    Is he kissing her tongue? Vomit.

  18. Quinn Parker says:

    I really hope they stay married for fifty years…they TRULY deserve one another. 🙂

    • briargal says:

      If it weren’t for the boys, I would wish this too. But those boys don’t need to be around the looney female in this marriage. (Couldn’t call her a lady, sorry!)

  19. emmie_a says:

    So is their show reality or scripted? I think Brandi said that Eddie & LeAnn hired one of her friends to be LeAnn’s friend on the show… So is that one of the misconceptions that will be dispelled? We thought LeAnn had at least one friend but it turns out she has none (and has to hire someone).

  20. shannon says:

    good grief she looks BAD.

    • NeNe says:

      She looks awful!! Just be glad that we’re not the one who has to wake up to that face everyday! 😛

  21. Sara says:

    LeAnn looks so pregnant.

  22. NeNe says:

    Is anybody really dumb enough to watch their reality show? Who needs a show to see their craziness when their air it on the internet every day! I cannot these two people.

  23. Jessica says:

    “Two nights ago, Eddie Cibrian spent the majority of his time on the red carpet for The Best Man Holiday trying to wrestle his way out of his wife’s Falcor grip.”

    THIS IS MY FAVORITE!! EVER LMAO!!!

  24. Deanne says:

    Boy LeAnn and Eddie are both really into promoting things way too early. She started promoting her new album two years before it was released, with the release getting pushed back again and again. Now their so called, scripted reality show isn’t going to air for almost a year. They are only shooting 6 episodes. If it was any good, VH1 would be be airing it sooner. LeAnn started out saying that it was airing at Christmas, then early in the new year and now summer 2014. Considering the low statdards that VH1 has, it must really be a crapfest. I am starting to doubt it will ever see the light of day

    • claire says:

      Me too. Reality shows typically turn around a ton faster than that. I really might just believe the blinds that this show is a complete trainwreck. And I’m sure Leann is the reason why.

      • Deanne says:

        The show is going to be so epically awful. The blinds keep getting proven true, so I’m sure you are right that this is indeed, the train wreck to end all train wrecks. LeAnn has said that she never intended Spitfire to be a commercial success. When the show bombs or doesn’t even air, will she say it was never done with the intention of success as well? I’m sure they’ll both be laughing hysterically then too. Do neither of them know what mental cases they sound like? Oh and when did Eddie’s eyes sink into his head? Heartthrob no more. It’s like they are both decaying.

  25. Cindy says:

    So the other night, when the CMA’s were on and every other Country Artist in the world was celebrating, Leann tweeted about doing homework with Brandi’s boys. The same old swf-ing snark and blame that comes out to hurt Brandi whenever Leann is angry about a situation she created herself. And Eddie encourages her.

    • Jayna says:

      There’s plenty of country music artists that weren’t there, just the ones nominated, performing, and presenting awards. Although, LeAnn has a new album out and I think the album isn’t eligible for this year’s awards (I think it’s next year’s), it still should have put her in the public eye to be a presenter. Reba McIntyre wasn’t there. I didn’t see Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, etc. Although, she might as well stop holding her breath if she thinks anything off the album is going to be nominated since every single and the album flopped. It doesn’t matter if she got some great reviews. A flop is a flop.

      • claire says:

        They released singles from it in winter 2012. It then fully got released in 2013. They makes it eligible for next year’s not this year’s? I would have thought her eligibility was for this year.

      • Jayna says:

        Claire, I think the singles were eligible, but her album came out in June, I think. I don’t think it’s eligible, but I could be wrong. I don’t know what the actual begin date to end date is for the eligibility of albums for nominations.

        Edit. The cut-off is June 30th. I think hers came out in June, so she was eligible. Total snub this year. But an album that sold little to nothing would never be in contention anyway. She didn’t have a chance of being nominated if country music radio didn’t support it.

      • Cindy says:

        The point is that every time Leann is obviously disappointed or upset, she puts out digs at having power over Brandi and her children. It’s sick.
        Her whole reason for being is focused on hurting Brandi.
        It’s all transferred anger and disappointment at her own failing career.

  26. Bex says:

    As a side note, I did a lesson recently with my students about how to spot if someone is lying. At least twice in that interview Ediot touches his face and looks down to the left, classic signs of a lie.

  27. dorothy says:

    I would imagine Eddie knows EXACTLY how much his nutcase has. Everyone knows his only reason for staying is the $$.

  28. Holden says:

    I like his jacket though.

  29. michele says:

    Cause it’s oh so romantic when your husband calls your husband FUNCTIONAL like he did in a recent interview. Wow so hot! Yes MeAnn you’re soooooo lucky, he’s so into you he’s not even kissing you back haha

  30. Sway says:

    I actually watched the video of this and he said something like: “They say we’re going through a $50-million divorce… no, it’s a $100-million…they just have no fact checking whatsoever.” He tried to play it like it was all a big joke and sooo ridiculous. But he didn’t smile once and he kept looking around, making no eye contact with the interviewer.

    And he looks absolutely miserable in these photos.

    • claire says:

      That’s what stood out to me as well! He absolutely would not make eye contact with Terri Seymour. Then he’d do little “I don’t even believe any of the words coming out of my own mouth” nervous tics. Straight out of the lying/body language handbook.

      • Dirtnap says:

        @Sway and @Claire, I noticed that, too, and thought he had a bit of a “Where is my publicist to make this stop!” look in his eyes; I also thought his voice sounded the tiniest bit shaky in parts of his response.

      • respect says:

        there’s an ediot in the headlights!

      • Zooyork says:

        Hahaha @ respect: “there’s an Eddiot in the headlights” rofl!

  31. Leslie says:

    Ediot needs a better publicist, one who will feed him better words to use:
    Fantastic instead of FUNCTIONAL, as to the state of his marriage.
    Not true instead of LUDICROUS, as to the divorce rumors.
    Then maybe the publicist know what is coming, and gave him the right words.

    • Jane says:

      Eddie would do better if he did the following:
      1. Divorce Leann
      2. Tell the world he totally lost his mind and he needs to be a better man.
      3. Be a better father to his children
      4. Hide from public eye.
      5. Don’t let Leann anywhere near his children.

      Awe h***, who am I kidding?! This will never happen. He wants the money too much and he’s a Douche Lord!!!

  32. Christin says:

    I wonder if he has thought about the future and how life will be in just five or ten years, IF they stay married.

    What will be their net worth and lifestyle? Will they have any projects of note? His parents may be needing HIS help if they are still living, and the boys will be more independent. A lot of his family buffer zone will change. And his wife will be hitting middle age (and she seems to think 40 is ancient).

    Buckle your seatbelt, Eddie.

  33. Carolyn says:

    They say things happen in three’s:

    Miranda & Orlando/Courtney & Doug (Save Dourtney) and Eddie/Leann – we can only hope.

    Start the countdown…..

  34. Scarlettmoon says:

    I’m sorry but I think she looks pregnant too! Definitely bloated but more than that, just…not…good! Maybe she’s on fertility drugs working up to an IVF situation??

  35. skuddles says:

    Those boots look a lot like my horse’s shipping boots (except his look better on him).

  36. misswilson says:

    That is the most hideous outfit I have ever seen. No, seriously, it is.

  37. LovesGossip says:

    “……your BEAUTIFUL wife is here supporting you……” WTF?

  38. miasys says:

    Why is he doing the Bieber forehead wrinkle with a Bill Clinton lip-bite in the first pic?
    Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

  39. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    Who knows–I might be going to hell for watching this trainwreck with glee, but I will go in willingly….I can’t wait for that shitty show to come out–although like Liz and Dick, it’ll probably be a piece of crap. And did anyone notice that Eddie kept looking away from the interviewer when he was talking to her? Same thing with Mario Lopez–when Leann was promoting Spitfire. He kept looking away.

  40. Snowpea says:

    I gotta say…I never saw the Ediot talk before, and though I hate to admit it, he is superfine in motion 😉

    BUT…and it’s a big but…the man is the WORST liar I ever saw!

    Ear scratching and tugging?
    Quavery, shaking voice?
    Shifty eyes?
    Looking away?
    Pausing, trying to buy time?

    ALL check.

    How about this line “That’s what married couples do, right?”…er, what the f*ck does that even mean?

    I swear these two fools deserve each other. But unfortunately, the Ediot is done and dusted with Rimes.

  41. Kosmos says:

    I actually do not dislike LeAnn, but a reality show? Bad idea. It’s Brandi that I think is really a turnoff for several reasons, but hey, maybe Eddie is just not worth the two of them fighting over, heh? Anyway, what I did notice above was what LeAnn was wearing on the red carpet. Looks like a completely inappropriate outfit while he is dressed in a suit. Strange….dress much too short and tight, and the boots don’t seem to go with the overly casual dress at all. She’s gained some weight, so that dress is not the right choice.

  42. NovemberScorpio says:

    I don’t know how Leanne trusts him. She must go crazy with worry that he’s going to cheat on her. . . If he isn’t already. It’s sad that she ruined her once promising career/reputation over this douche.

  43. Peachy says:

    This marriage is going down like a Le-Ed balloon.

  44. msw says:

    They wont separate until just before the shows airs, or just after. You know SueAnn wont jeopardize her only shot at telling HER TROOF.

    • briargal says:

      On another article about LR and this circus of a marriage–I proposed a scenario for the last scene of their “comedy” show. Eddie yells at LR telling her he can’t take her craziness anymore and throws divorce papers at her. As he walks out the door, she screams back at him, grabs a bottle, takes her phone and runs for the Eddie-organized closet. She then calls DB to come over and commiserate with her. Fade away while LR is screaming in the closet! THAT would be a show I WOULD WATCH!!!!

  45. Theresa says:

    You know there was probably closet-crying, vodka-consuming and screaming when they got home from this “premier”. Their show of solidarity, skewered by media and blogs everywhere, went down in flames, AGAIN. And Eddie probably ripped LeAnn a good one with her embarrassing clinging. He couldn’t control her, or do what he really wanted to do, with the cameras rolling, so he cooperated best he could, which was a piss-poor showing. But then again, this goes to show just how bad an actor he really is.

    So his few chances to celebrate in a dimming spotlight, as a barely-there, non-credited bit player on a reddish carpet had to be hijacked by his insecure loathed-by-all spouse. Instead of being a l’il bit proud or getting a nice taste of what his life used to be like, or could be like, he goes home with his shrewish significant other who is probably lie-tweeting the whole time about how awesome everything is, and he has to pour over the mocking and dissing that the 24 hour gossip cycle heaped on this mess of an appearance in the bleak light of day.

    Eddie, you are a victim of your own actions, you are living the ultimate proof of karma that I have seen in a long time. You wanted your cake and to eat it too, but your cake is a bitter tasting concoction of embarrassment, misery, delusion and career-suicide. For someone who I am assuming had high aspirations of career and lifestyle, what he is ending up experiencing is a bitter pill to swallow. I am no LeAnn fan, but in this case, Eddie is getting exactly what he paid for. No amount of tweeting, “reality” filming, bogus lawsuits or staged pap shoots will ever convince me otherwise.

    I hope this charade continues, by force of will not love, for years… This is truly the gossip gift that keeps on giving! Except, as everyone has continually noted, the children in this circus are unwilling participants, and should be sheltered from this storm.

    • Christin says:

      Well said. He apparently wasn’t bright or wise enough to realize what a mess of karma was waiting. I think he finally realizes the cost to his reputation and career. I’m not sure she gets it at all, because she just keeps digging their hole deeper, as evidenced by this hogging of his red carpet moment.

      • briargal says:

        That’s okay because LR is just showing more and more people just how crazy she is. Most of us have known for a while but the rest of the world is catching on fast.

    • Zooyork says:

      Dead-on Theresa!

  46. I just have one question. Why do they feel the need to be photographed almost daily at whatever they are doing? I know she is attention starved and trying to stay in the public eye and show everybody how happy she is, but what in the heck is his agenda? Why would he continuously allow her to embarass him and his children with all these pics. Everybody knows that she calls them. Is he so oblivious to everything that he really doesn’t realize how majority of people comment. That is never going to change. Her pictures haven’t helped in years why would that change now? Is this their only source of income or what? She has to have blown through a whole lot of her money. She hasn’t made big money in many years but she has continued to spend like she is. Pics already up today on JJ and DM showing their love for each other once again at the soccer field. He has to be as crazy as she is.

    • briargal says:

      Who can figure out crazy? I only thing I figure is that Eddie just a couple days ago ridiculed the Star story about a divorce. So he has to wait for a while before he actually does leave. As to the pics at the soccer game… these pap shots at the games will end when EC does finally grow some gonads and LEAVE the loony bin! Would love to see some shots of LR crying and screaming in a drunken stupor in the organized closet. hehehehe

    • Jane says:

      It’s her over the top narcissistic personality disorder. It stands to reason that her life means nothing unless she is photographed endlessly. Seeing that a large quantity of people question her marriage, she has to stage these photo-ops to “prove us wrong” and “show her truth”. I just think it sucks that she brings the two boys into the picture and has her hands all over them. She is one sick puppy. Personally I want a video of Jake pushing her away and running away screaming. The other one checked out a while ago.
