Jemal Countess; Rick Diamond; Jesse Grant/WireImage.comBrandi Glanville is taking to Twitter to defend her relationship with LeAnn Rimes' ex-husband, Dean Sheremet.
"I'm sorry if it bothers some of u that I am friends with Dean but we have remained in touch over the years," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star tweeted earlier today in response to some hating fans. "He is in LA 4 work."
Glanville's tweet comes in the wake of some social media cooking correspondence she recently had with Sheremet, who now works as a celeb chef.
Glanville replied to a fan on Twitter who asked about her imprecise cooking methods, writing, "@heather072013 OMG that is soooo how I roll, but my friend @Deansheremet is going to help me get my measurements down!"
Sheremet also got in on the cooking convo, writing back, "@BrandiGlanville @heather072013 trust your taste buds!"
Sheremet and Rimes split back in 2009 after Rimes had an affair with Glanville's then-husband, Eddie Cibrian. Last week, Sheremet opened up about Rimes, telling Access Hollywood, "We don't really talk. I have no animosity towards her. I have nothing but love for her and I really wish her the best, but we don't really talk that much. There's not really a need to. I don't really know what we would talk about."
Glanville also opened about her current relationship with Rimes and Cibrian last week, telling E! News, "As far as I know, we're fine. I see them at soccer, I say hello, and I don't really have any other interactions with them."
