"It happens every day to so many people,” LeAnn told ABC’s Robin Roberts in 2010. “And I if I take away my album sales, my words, and you have just another couple. You had two couples whose marriages didn't work who really stumbled upon each other and fell in love.”

A sentiment Eddie echoed: "The truth is that we're human beings. We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we're human.”

The scandal, however, created a bitter, yearslong feud between Brandi and LeAnn before the trio were eventually able to bury the hatchet—in large part due to the mutual love for their blended family. 

“I think our kids had a lot to do with it,” Brandi reflected on the Hollywood Row podcast in 2021, “because the kids love when we're all together, and it's so obvious. They're so happy. They're giddy little creatures."

And while some of the reality TV alum’s loved ones may have held onto bitter feelings, Brandi encouraged them to let them go. 

"My friends are still mad at her and him,” she admitted. “I'm like, ‘If I can deal with this, you guys need to get over it.' I guess I just forget s--t. I'm just fine with it. We both love Eddie's parents. We both love the kids, and Eddie's going to be in my life for the rest of my life." 

She added, "We bicker still like we're married when we're not. We're like sister wives. It's me and LeAnn and Eddie."

So, despite her claims to the contrary, the jump to RHOBH would be a natural one for the likes of LeAnn—and, she’d be joining the ranks of countless women who have ventured into Housewives territory before. For E! News’ ranking of every Housewife ever on Bravo, read on.
