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.”

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.
