While some women who shared a man are thrashing each other, some are hugging it out! (photos)

Reality star Brandi Glanville and singer LeAnn Rimes were seen hugging each after they watched and cheered Brandi's kids at a soccer game yesterday in LA. This is the first time the women will be seen doing this. You see, years ago, Brandi accused LeAnn of cheating with her husband, Eddie Cibrian. Eddie eventually divorced Brandi, who he has two kids with, and married LeAnn and for years, the two women didn't see eye to eye and bashed each other at every opportunity. Guess that is all over now!
