Eddie Cibrian says he gets why ex Brandi Glanville slams him publicly for leaving her for his Lifetime movie costar LeAnn Rimes.
"The unfortunate part about it is you get only one side of a very complicated story. But you know I'm fine with that … Sometimes you want to fight back," Cibrian, 36, says in an episode of the Rachael Ray show to air Oct. 19.

"I don't think it's very conducive to play anything like privately out publicly at all," Cibrian goes on. "I mean I think it's like very hurtful."
Cibrian says he tries to "shield" his kids, Mason, 6, and Jake, 2 from public reports.

"I mean, my philosophy is to try to insulate them so they're not subject to anything, you know, regarding the business and anything of tabloid nature," he says.
Cibrian also explains the type of father he is: "I go with the flow, but I'm very protective. I wouldn't say I'm overly protective, but I'm very protective."

Glanville, 36, has slammed Cibrian's parenting skills, and even says he skipped his son's first week of school to hang with Rimes.
"His displays of poor taste have hurt our two children," she told Us in August. "Eddie is a compulsive liar, cheater and a home wrecker, and he has been an absentee father."
Tell Us What You Think
28Actually Eddie did keep quiet. He said nothing really.
Eddie needs to keep his mouth shut he looks stupid every time he opens it. What part of lying and cheating for months has an "it's okay side" NONE. Eddie's popularity has sunk this week....hmmmm. Must be alot of people not on the Leann/Eddie bandwagon.
Nice interview. The viewers were clapping for his restraint in not airing Brandi's smelly laundry in public. We all know there's more than Brandi's story here.
Its only fair that we hear 4 stories and not only Brandi's side.
Will be watching Rachel ray and Eddie on Monday
Eddie may have loved the ex at one time but if a man is cheating with multiple women he doesn't love her any more.
Talk Eddie tell us what we already know. She not nice woman right
Iget a hit off Brandi that she is a beyotch
When someone wants out of a stultifying marriage and finds a way out it feels like a liberation, a release. It is indescribable.
I know something about Brandi made him interested outside the marriage.
Every time Eddie opens his mouth he sounds like the lying cheating jackass he is...The man sounds like he has the IQ of a rock. Eddie contradicted himself in this article every time he used the word privacy. He's a d*uche
You own the place?
We're waiting to hear more than just the ex's side. Hurry up
LeAnn's country bumpkin azz is on this blog! Get off you ugly slore!
I'm a fair person. Speak Eddie, speak Le Ann and Dean.
He has hurt the kids more than anyone with his cheating.
I'll be watching but I bet he refrains from saying anything. In some ways he a gentleman and Brandi is a well you know.
Lets hear Eddie's side.
Lets here the four sides. Fair is fair. We all know this is not a simple black or white matter.
You can get away with anything in America... this man is trying to humiliate his wife further... Shut up Eddie!!!
