Eddie Cibrian is filing suit against Life & Style Magazine following the tabloid’s claim that the actor is cheating on former mistress LeAnn Rimes. A rep for the CSI: Miami star tells Extra that Cibrian’s legal team is dragging L&S to court over a scandalous report in their Nov. 16 issue, which alleges that Eddie has been secretly sleeping with an ex behind LeAnn’s back.

“Unfortunately Life & Style Magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales, but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others. This is irresponsible and wreckless journalism,” Cibrian’s rep said in a statement Friday. “Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It’s a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding.”
