Leann Rimes 'not discussing' alleged affair

14 Apr 2009  

LEANN RIMES has vowed to remain tight-lipped about the scandal surrounding her alleged affair with married co-star EDDIE CIBRIAN - insisting she'd rather "let people believe" what they read.
 
The pair, who co-starred in romantic TV movie Northern Lights, sparked rumours they were cheating on their spouses last month (Mar09) after leaked security camera footage showed them enjoying an intimate dinner together in California.
 
As well as holding hands, the pair was seen kissing in the damning video.
 
Rimes and Cibrian have both dismissed reports they are romantically linked, and now the Blue singer insists she won't be talking about the gossip anymore, stating she's tired of addressing rumours she cheated on her husband of seven years, dancer Dean Sheremet.
 
She says, "It's something that I hate going back and forth in the press about. I'm not going to do it because it hurts my loved ones, it hurts me, and I'm just not discussing it.
 
"I've been around long enough... Let people believe what they're going to believe."
