Mystery woman Miranda Lambert’s husband ‘got handsy with’ at bar breaks silence on what really happened in video
BRENDAN McLoughlin went viral earlier this week, and it wasn’t because of his country singer wife.
Videos taken by fellow bar patrons show what appears to be the retired police officer grinding on multiple women at Miranda Lambert’s Nashville, Tennessee, bar, Casa Rosa, and now one of the women is speaking out on what really went down that night.

Social media was abuzz as several videos circulated TikTok earlier this week, showing McLoughlin having what appears to be intimate, touchy-feely encounters with several mystery women.
The videos show one of the women wrapping her arms around McLoughlin’s neck and grabbing his face while chatting in his ear.
Another video clip shows McLoughlin allegedly getting handsy with a different woman on the dance floor.

Neither McLoughlin nor Lambert – who have been married since January 2019 – have commented on the incident.
However, one of the mystery women seen dancing with the country singer’s beau has finally shared her side of the story.
“Earlier in the night, we noticed him in the roped-off section at the front of the bar,” the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, recalls, as reported by In Touch.

“We recognized him, and we all thought it was cool that he was there, and mentioned hoping for a Miranda appearance.”
The incident occurred at Casa Rosa, Lambert’s Tex-Mex-themed Nashville bar in the Lower Broadway entertainment district, which she opened in partnership with TC Restaurant Group in May 2021.
The four-story venue is decked out in pink decor, a rooftop bar, and memorabilia from Lambert’s music career, and features live music and DJ performances.

“We went back to enjoying our night, drinking and dancing with each other and just having a good time,” she added.
The woman recalls asking McLoughlin if he would take a photo with one of her friends, a bride-to-be, and he obliged.
“Somehow, later, we were let into the roped-off section where he was. I’m not sure how that was initiated or happened.”
The woman did not confirm or deny whether McLoughlin was the one who allowed the bachelorette group into the exclusive section.
“We were all dancing together and laughing and talking, thanking him for helping to make our bride-to-be’s night so special and fun.”

“He was gracious and polite and kind,” she said, adding: “he was not flirty.”
“He did a lot of laughing at us, because we are a silly bunch and were having a good time just dancing and being goofy together.”
“It was just dancing, laughing, and talking. He was friendly and casual, but never inappropriate or suggestive in any way.”
The mystery woman also had an explanation for appearing to be leaning towards McLoughlin, and talking directly into his ear.

“The bar was extremely loud, and even yelling in each other’s ear, it was hard to hear anything.”
As for the bombshell “PDA” moment, where the woman is seen caressing McLoughlin’s face?
“I’m not sure why I put my hands on his face — I just have a tendency to do that at times without even realizing,” the woman said.

“It’s a silly, unconscious habit that I have, and I am responsible for how that may have appeared to the outside world.”
“I never intended it suggestively, probably more ‘motherly,’ as that’s who I am, but that isn’t something that should reflect badly on him at all.”
The woman also added that McLoughlin and her group left separately, with McLoughlin leaving “about an hour, maybe an hour and a half,” before her group.

“We are all grateful for him being so kind, and helping to make our trip fun and memorable, and it’s sad that he and Miranda are dealing with all of this for no reason,” the woman added.
It’s unclear how Lambert and McLoughlin are handling the situation, though if Lambert’s hit 2007 album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is any indication, McLoughlin may have some explaining to do of his own.
