LeAnn Rimes has taken a lot of heat for her relationship with fiancé Eddie Cibrian, and she feels some of it isn't entirely fair, considering that there are certainly plenty of men in the music business who've had affairs. She opens up in-depth about the flack she's taken on a special 90-minute episode of GAC's 'Backstory' that premieres this Sunday (April 24) and includes interviews with her mother, her agent, her label head and childhood buddy Steve Holy, among others.

"I mean, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and all of those guys, God knows that they did it back in the day," LeAnn tells GAC. "If a woman did it, you were never accepted or forgiven, but if it was a guy, they could write a song about it, it'd be huge, and they'd move on. It's quite interesting to navigate those waters as a woman in this business."
