Miranda Lambert Is ‘Stressed Over Her Marriage’ to Brendan McLoughlin After His Dancing Scandal
Miranda Lambert has been keeping a close eye on her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, since a viral scandal in June, where he was spotted dancing with other women at her Nashville bar, Casa Rosa. A source recently revealed to In Touch that the country singer is “stressed over her marriage” as she tries to manage his behavior.
“Miranda gave Brendan a piece of her mind and a warning he’d better mind his behavior or else,” the insider said. The “Mama’s Broken Heart” hitmaker, 40, was reportedly “humiliated” by the scandal. Despite their conversation, Miranda remains uneasy about the incident and has been taking her frustrations out on her fans during concerts.
Miranda, known for her strict rules at shows, has been even more vigilant since the scandal. On June 29, she halted her performance of “Tin Man” mid-song to address a disruptive group, threatening to “come down there” herself. Just a few days later, on July 13, she scolded another group for arguing during one of her songs.
“She’s constantly worried about what Brendan’s up to when her back is turned,” the insider continued. “So any little thing will trigger her temper.” However, the source noted that Miranda “hasn’t pulled the plug on her marriage, nor does she want to.” “But Brendan will be in the doghouse for a while,” the insider concluded.
The troubles began when the former New York City police officer was seen at Casa Rosa dancing with a group of women while Miranda was apparently not present. Videos circulated on TikTok on June 24 showing Brendan dancing closely with a brunette woman in a denim dress, and another clip featured a woman getting close to him and placing her hands on his face.
One of the women involved later told In Touch that the encounter was entirely “innocent.” She described the evening as a fun, casual night where they danced and talked with Brendan, who was “gracious and polite.” She insisted that “there was never anything inappropriate said” and that the interactions were purely friendly.
Despite the woman’s claims, the incident has clearly left a mark on Miranda, who is now more vigilant than ever, both in her personal life and during her performances.
