Shania Twain Opens Up About Painful Divorce
Country singer Shania Twain has revealed that she was an emotional mess when she found out in 2008 that her husband of 14 years and her best friend had fallen in love with each other. Speaking to Oprah Winfrey in her first TV interview in five years, Twain said she hit an all time low and even confessed to writing a letter to the other woman asking her to let go of her then husband. The award-winning singer added that she thought she would never sing again because she had never written a song without her producer husband, Robert John “Mutt” Lange. Twain also revealed that she suffers from dysphonia, an ailment where the muscles squeeze the voice box. She says her fears and anxieties have slowly been squeezing her voice and she is losing it slowly and progressively. Twain chronicles the demise of her marriage and her fight to get her voice back in a new book “From This Moment On” and a documentary series ‘Why Not?” that will debut on Winfrey’s cable TV network OWN. Twain married Frederic Thiebaud on January 1 – he is the former husband of Marie-Ann, the best friend who ran off with her now ex-husband.
I would be banging Shania like a screen door in a hurricane.
