Shania Twain’s shocking revelations
By Alexandra Heilbron on May 5, 2011 | 59 Comments
Shania Twain has released an autobiography called From This Moment On that’s packed with shocking revelations. Fans know she grew up in poverty without enough food to eat, surviving on bread with milk and brown sugar, but it wasn’t widely known that her stepfather Jerry physically and emotionally abused the entire family. One horrifying memory Shania has is of Jerry pushing her mother’s head into the toilet repeatedly after knocking her out cold. Shania says years later, when she was 11, she stood up to Jerry, writing: “I ran up behind my dad with a chair in both hands and smashed it across his back… Before I could get away, he punched me in the jaw. Adrenaline pumping, I punched him back!” Another revelation was that Shania lost the ability to sing after she discovered her then-husband Mutt Lange cheating on her, due to a condition called dysphonia, in which the muscles squeeze the voice box. “My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice,” the singer told Oprah Winfrey this week. “I was losing it slowly and progressively.”
About Lange leaving her for Marie-Anne Thiébaud, Shania wrote in her book: “I’ll be honest: when your husband leaves you, and falls into the arms of your close friend, your self-esteem can really suffer.” However, it looks like Shania had the last laugh when she married Marie-Anne’s ex-husband, Swiss business executive Frédéric Thiébaud. She says watching his poise when it became clear that both their spouses were involved in an extramarital affair helped her get through the ordeal. “I got to observe Fred going through the same that I was, and I admired how he handled it,” she told Redbook. “That is where I fell in love with him, because he was so exemplary in every way.” ~Alexandra Heilbron

Shania Twain chats about her Las Vegas residency, her upcoming film I Still Believe, her childhood, her family relationships and her latest album.
It still boggles my mind that anyone would cheat on a beautiful person like Shania.
We don’t know if Shania is so “beautiful” on the inside, but maybe she is… Looks aren’t always a factor in infidelity… Look at the Prince Charles, Diana and Camilla triangle… Like her or not, Charles loves Camilla and I think it’s wonderful. Sometimes however even beautiful, smart, amazing people (like me!) get dumped by inadequate partners who need something else… something perhaps “less perfect” that strokes their ego and makes them feel better… Who knows… just a thought…. 😉
p.s. I forgot to add “emotionally immature” to the list of qualities that inadequate partners who don’t have the courage to be real and honest with their partners and choose “infidelity” versus communication… Just sayin’….
Marriage is a sacred vow, particularly when there are children involved. The trauma Shania experienced borders on what I consider Spousal Abuse. I’m certain there are traits of Shania’s former husband she sees in their son which makes it problematic to close the door. True Beauty comes from within….Shania must have an inner strength from her ability to cope from her childhood horrors. I’m hopeful her new husband will help wounds those wounds over time and Shania will triumph. I admire Shania’s strength and wish her all the best!
What makes someone beautiful is what is on the inside. She may be semi attractive but she may very well have been a beatch in the marriage. No one knows but them. All I can say is thank god she is unable to sing. We are all spared from hearing her horrific voice sing those stupid, inane songs. She just got where she was by sleeping with her boss and taking off her clothes. Otherwise she would have remained white trash in the north.
Lady is a class act
Is there any way that she’s just not talented and Mutt Lange made her into what she is? I have to admit I think she’s pretty manufactured. I know this won’t be a popular opinion but I don’t but his ‘rare’ condition that is squeezing he voicebox. I think she’s done as a performer. Prove me wrong, Shania!
OMG….leave her alone, if you don’t have something nice to say be quiet. I had her childhood and I’m surprised she is still sane. Unless you live it you don’t know what it is like. She is talented, and alot braver then most of the people out there will ever know or understand. I wish her all the best…she deserves it.
that pic doesn’t even look like her…
why now bring it all out? I understand why many wait a period of time before “telling it all” – just curious as to what her reasons are, why she choose this specific time…
I am not a fan, however would feel compassion for anyone if they suffered any form of abuse
Life is not a sweet and sugar coated ride, if you don’t have something nice to say about Shania, say it anyhow, it makes it a heck of a lot more interesting to hear all sides…
I have to say that I admire a lot, to have come from a small town like Timmins and to have made it to the top is a big achievement. I would like to say that for Timmins she is a cause of pride and to the person (Susuie) that say that she has an horrific voice I wonder if she can sing. I can’t and I would like to have an aota of her talent.
It boggles My mind, how she could turn around and marry the Ex of the Woman who cheated with Her Husband! Sorry, that makes No sense, what so ever!~ And Why do these people have to keep getting married, anyway? Shania, definately can stand on her own two feet, I would think..Or has her life,made her Needy,with No Self-esteem? I have to Shake My Head:) Sorry, If I had a Nth degree of her looks, and Her money, I would not Settle for anyone! Especially a Man who’s wife found it necessary, to cheat, in the first place!!!!!!!!!! Just Saying……
@ Susie, when you sell over 30 million albums, you’re doing something right, I’m sure she didn’t sleep with everyone who bought her albums. If you write on public forums, try to make sense, otherwise, you just look stupid.
If what you said was true, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton would have sold millions of albums also.
Her success is a combination of good songs, talent and sex appeal.
@ Susie, wow really, did you try this and fail so you make judgments on others to make up for your misfortunes. White trash may discribe yourself and your hillbilly roots.
I think she is a classy lady, afer what her xhusband put her through, she deserves too be happy……
I’m from Timmins, Ontario too and I can tell you that Shania is a great lady but so are alot of people who go through such hard times. It takes courage to recapture a self esteem hit, no matter what you look like. We always think it’s us but it isn’t always. I grew up poor with abuse in our house too but I didn’t let life defeat me either. Courage is picking up the pieces even when you don’t feel like you can. I’m proud of Shania Twain and she deserves that love in her life. Congrats Shania.
Susie…..your jealousy is ringing loudly.
Shania I believe in seeing the beauty in everyone. Everyone has a story, many can not comprehend unless they haved lived through it them selves. I believe shania is a beautiful child of God, as we all are.
I find some people tend to be envious of outter beauty. I know first hand, as I have been told by many that I am beautiful, on the inside as well as the outside. And I can tell you, it is not nice having people be envious and dislike, maybe even hate you, just because your beautiful.
Being beautiful can be a challenge in it self, not always a blessing.
Bless your soul Shania, I believe you are a good person!
Hugs, your fan and friend,
Tammy
I’m not a country fan, but I love Shania.
My uncle married the wife of his friend – and his friend married his wife – this was in the 70’s – and they’re all still happily married to each other.
Weird stuff in life happens.
Just because we think it’s odd, or don’t understand it dosent mean it dosent work.
Stop judging people – it’s rude.
Monique – the one from BC =)
It takes two to Tango and three to Rock n Roll. Life is like a university we are all learning as we go along. No one is perfect, and to run from one set of arms into another takes strength. It seems that gifted people who come fron broken famlies tend to excell in other ways. Love is more than just a four letter word you have to practice with what you know each and every day……words for the broken hearted
In troubled times we loose our mind
Confusion it makes us blind
At night we weep instead of sleep
For grey clouds block the mind
Sure to awake to a new day brake
In a new day LOVE and Peace we hope to find…
Your love is going to save me
Its going to make me feel alright
Togeather we will stand
Loving you and me will feel alright… Take care
She’s a beautiful woman and a wonderful singer/songwriter. I wish her all the best.
@Terri:
Why should “these people” not get married? She did not cheat, and neither did her new husband; why should they remain single because you think famous people are not entitled to seek happiness?
I think it took a great deal of strength to be with this man whose presence must have reminded her of what her best friend and husband did to both of them.
It does not need to make sense to you as long as they feel it is right for them and they are not hurting anyone in what they are doing (like you are doing with your words)
Are you married? Did you settle? Are you a weak woman for being married? Why are you even saying she settled when she stated she loves him? Why should she not get married if she is in love? Why does that make her weak in your eyes?
So much jealousy and judgement … what a sad world you live in when you condemn the innocent people to a life of loneliness because they were done wrong and because they are “beautiful” and famous and rich
@Susie: wow so jealous … she is a great singer; you might not like her singing, but millions of records sold means someone out there does. Thanks for sharing the “fact” that she took her clothes off for her boss … I guess you were there to know exactly what happened and why …
For those that say she was probably the one causing problems in the marriage: you don’t know that … and if she was so horrible, he should have left her rather than cheat on her and humiliate her like that … people are not stepping stones … if you don’t want to be with someone, you tell them and go; you don’t sleep with the “best friend”
Couples grow apart for various reasons, usually when one loses respect or consideration for the other. Especially after being with that person for a great length of time, they seem to lose touch and often neglect the one that in reality means so much to them.
From various backgrounds we all come, each with a story to tell be it a happy one, a sad one or one of abuse. Those are the experiences that are suppose to teach and encourage us to go on in life and offer change to our outcomes if needed. Just because one comes from an abusive situation or a broken home doesn’t mean that they have to continue with that cycle, for that is when they are to set a coarse to go on.
Learning as we go often is the biggest benefit in our lives, but in order to do any of these things you first must learn respect. Respect for those around you, those you love and then yourself. Once you’ve achieved that, then happiness will follow.
Shania is fortunate to be able to express herself through song with a wonderful voice. Not all have that gift. But none the less, we all have a gift to give, as long as we first learn how to repsect each other.
Susie, Susie, Susie … So jealous that you lash out at Shania, making horrible hateful comments and speak of things you have no knowledge of. My, my!
As for Shania, I wish her nothing but the best. She’s got brains, looks, and talent. I’m sure millions of girls want to be like her. She has sold more records than any other country female. That says a lot!!
Maybe they were swapping wives and that is how they each got hooked up with each others spouse. Who really knows, just a thought!!!
Well, Susie, you can voice your opinion anytime, but saying she can’t sing only means you sound like a crow and probably look like one, enough said.
I love you Shania, when you come back to Canada drop by we would love to seer you again, it’s been to long my friend. Remember the summer of 03.
Hang in their sweetie, your on the right road. Squeeze Eja for me he, is growing up so fast.
Love ya
I feel for you Shania. I wondered why we waited so long for a new CD but now I know. I hope this means there will be a new CD on the horizon. I love you Shania, and I look forward to yur next brand new song.
This is for those of you who are judging her, we all react in different ways to stuff. That is what makes this world so great. Wouldn’t it be sad if we were all the same. I truly believe that.
>>>>@Terri:
Why should �these people�� not get married? She did not cheat, and neither did her new husband; why should they remain single because you think famous people are not entitled to seek happiness?<<<<
Okay, this reply is @Marie. What do you mean Terri must think Shania isn't entitled to seek happiness by saying she should've remained single?? One has nothing to do with the other. Happiness is different things for different people and being married definitely is NOT happiness for EVERYONE just because you think it is. I can assure you that single people are also very happy enjoying their independance and freedom. Life is what you make it……..period. For some it's being married. For some it's being single. As far is Shania not deserving to be happy, I strongly doubt that Terri meant or said anything even close to that!!!
Hey cheating can happen i have been married for almost 13yrs and recently found out my wife had an affair and she is beautiful too she got bored of me i guess however she loves me too much to leave me but my point being is you dont know someone to you live with them
If someone cheats on you, they don’t love you. It’s the thing they can do to hurt you most and they know it. If the one person you should be able to trust completely has betrayed you, you’d be better off without her/him.
I think Shania is absolutely beautiful,i love her songs and i wish her nothing but the best.We love you Shania, keep up the great music.
– I’ve always thought Robert “Mutt” Lange finally just lived up to his nickname. Seems to me he did this before, too. I’m not a big fan of Shania’s music, but whenever I’ve seen her in a interview, she’s come off as quite nice. Most of us hope for the best when we start a serious relationship. Best of luck to her this time around.
Wow! What a gammit of comments and opinions! I’m a Shania fan. Fell in love with her music,and then her personality, a long time ago! She is very genuine, and I really feel for her that she had to go through so-oo-oo much shit before she’s now gotten to where she is today! She’s luckily enough getting a 2nd. chance at Love, with a real good looker, has written this book (which took guts), and is back at making music again. YEH!& YAHOO! All the more Power to ya’,Shania! Hope it just keeps getting better (for You)! Love your voice!
I’ll speak my mind…Shania has a wonderful voice…she is beautiful in and out and as for the one (Suzie) that called her “White Trash ” in a previous quote above…I’ll have you know that Shania is Canadian Ontario Indian and a very talented and pretty one at that….so stick that in “your” peace pipe (Suzie)…and smoke it. Shania if you are still having problems with your voice I hope to God that you have a speedy recovery!You’ve always been one of my favourite singers…. and may you find true love and happiness with the one you’re with…and you know what Shania…nothing happens by pure accident…maybe you were meant to be with Frederic Thiebaud all along and what transpired between your ex and Thiebaud’s ex was meant to be as well….they had to meet in order to bring you and Frederic together…that’s what I think and I’m sticking to it!
It never makes sense why people cheat on their spouses, some might be insecure immature, the need to be needed and low self esteem or they just plain cheat because they can! She was on the road and he refused to travel with her I guess due to business at home he couldn’t leave or perhaps they’d been cheating from day one? He never went to any awards shows with her where she was to receive a trophy, I always thought that stunk like a skunk. You never seen Faith Hill or Tim McGraw at any of those awards shows alone ever, they are a couple who love each other madly and is very proud of all the other has accomplish there is NO jealousy there, perhaps Mutt was just plain jealous? Moving on, the only thing that has ever bothered me was the way she turned on her natural father and his mom yrs ago saying this man who was now it turns out was extremely abusive to the family and her mom. She constantly said he was her hero, he was a wonderful man and father and she idolized him ? WTF was that all about? Perhaps Mutt had some of the same tendencies her stepfather had? Who knows but you know I believe that she owes her real family (father and Grandmother) a big apology!O/w she is a fantastic singer and Mutt didn’t give her that, he gave her the ability to co-write some award winning songs and allowed her to be herself, in the way she dressed and the way she marketed herself which in itself is a huge achievment, the rest was all Shania!
Shania has sold enough albums to kick anyones comments that she can’t sing. So I won’t even say anything to those who say she can’t. To the comment wondering why now does she come out and tell her story…well all of us fans have been wondering where the hell she went and praying for her to come back and get some more hits out there. I’m just saying, this coming out moment may just be for publicity to kick start her returning career and that would make a whole lot of people very happy. I know I still have all of Shania CD’s, it’s not party music anymore like it was when were young (well maybe every once and a while), however, when it’s crazy spring cleaning day, Shania comes on as loud as it goes so no one can actually hear my horrid voice and I sing at the top of my lungs while getting my house spotless. Shania’s music/talent is timeless. Even if she doesn’t return to the scene to entertain us, I hope she is living life with her new husband and enjoying this phase of her life.
suzie suzie suzie – enough darts thrown at you yet? haha! see what your opinion on a site that begs for your opinion gets you? tons of insults from those condemning you for same thing – insulting…go figure, eh?
“you enjoy which performer singing?”
“Him?” “Her?” “They can’t sing!!!!”
How many times have we heard these comments? My own personal fave Springsteen, my husband has made exact same comment for over 30 years to me – “He can’t sing!” Do I freak out? Stand personally offended? Not a chance. Turn the volume up a notch (or ten) and enjoy I say!
Jealous? Why do people continuously resort to this when someone declares they don’t enjoy a good lookin’ person’s singing/acting? Shallow. I assure you I dislike Shania’s singing style, choice of material same as hubbie re Springsteen and jealousy is not an issue, why would it be?
For every one of you that dislikes same in a performer, are we to assume you are consumed with jealousy towards them? Conclusion: all you self professed male Bieber haters are jealous (of him)? pathetic…
To all the trash-talkers who don’t like Miss Twain!
Yuk,yuk,yuk!!! She has nothing to prove whatsoever to anyone! I’m not a huge fan by any means…but I respect what she achieved due to her talent and fan appeal.
I am so shocked at the people who are trashing such a wonderful and couragous women. She is just a person with feelings and fears in the inside. If any of us had to go through this it would kill us inside as well. What she has lived through all her life has been really tough things to deal with and I applaud her for who she is and what she has done with her life. She is a beautiful person inside and out. She is extremely talented and loved my many. Good luck with everything and you will get that beautiful voice back im sure.
xo
@Tayderhead read Terri’s comments … she asks why “these people” keep getting married, as if they have no right …. would you want to have people tell you you are not entitled to get married because you are rich and famous? True stats for the rich and famous show their marriages do not last long, but they are still entitled to seek out marriage AND happiness (whether marriage makes you happy or not, only you can decide) … scroll up and see what she said … you can do it….now tell me why marriage cannot mean happiness for some even if it does not mean that to you? If she wants to get married and it fulfills something for her, she is entitled to go for it… duh .. seriously, read first, then comment on things when you know what people said…
what do you think she meant when she said this: “And Why do these people have to keep getting married, anyway? Shania, definately can stand on her own two feet, I would think..Or has her life,made her Needy,with No Self-esteem? I have to Shake My Head:) Sorry, If I had a Nth degree of her looks, and Her money, I would not Settle for anyone! Especially a Man who��s wife found it necessary, to cheat, in the first place!!!!!!!!!! Just Saying����”
Clearly she feels that they are not entitled to marry and feels that by getting married she is somehow weak because she is not standing on her own two feet … well then I guess most of the world is weak … she assumes Shania settled when she says she loves this man …
Live and let live … is she stealing men from you? no, I did not think so, so leave her to it! She is not harming anyone so why jump all over this and assume that she settled for this man? She was with him for a long time. Only she knows her heart, and only she can know how she feels, so go back to your own lives… nothing to see here …
@Jo-Ann:
Are you saying you don’t feel Suzie’s comments arise out of jealousy? She trashed the woman’s looks and talent … when you are not jealous of someone you say something to the effect of, “I don’t like her music” … you don’t say that someone who has talent (come on, millions of records sold over the years .. hundred of thousands of fans) has none and deserves to lose her voice … that is pure venom … something is not right with Suzie’s world and she is lashing out at someone to try to bring Shania down to boost her own self-esteem … she called her “beatch” without knowing her, and called her white trash … hmmm … she is not “white” … so without knowing the person, she launched personal attacks without knowing the person or her background … sounds like jealousy to me 🙂
“What makes someone beautiful is what is on the inside. She may be semi attractive but she may very well have been a beatch in the marriage. No one knows but them. All I can say is thank god she is unable to sing. We are all spared from hearing her horrific voice sing those stupid, inane songs. She just got where she was by sleeping with her boss and taking off her clothes. Otherwise she would have remained white trash in the north.”
Germain, perfect reply to Susie’s dumbass comment. I met Shania and she took the time to actually talk to people while signing autographs and I mean real conversation and took her time to do so. She may have suffered in the past and really still suffering. Even nice people rich and in the public eye still suffer infidelity and stage fright and such and I’m glad this Canadian class act can over come it.
Way to go Jo-Ann there is 1 main thing Susie and Craig M are forgetting..Shania’s ex did not all her albums and she had #1 hits as well. Some people cannot handle it when their spouse is more popular than them. Being a Canadian myself and have gone through my ex cheating on me with prostitutes and then leaving. People like that who cannot see what is in front of them and thinks the grass is greener on the other side don’t usually end up with what they thought was better than they had before. We are strong…she will come back and from what I hear is already working on another album. Way to go Shania!!!

yes, Melissa, that’s EXACTLY what I was saying…
All jealousy … why women have to bash other women is is beyond me … while you are entitled to an opinion, when you are only hurting others with your comments, stifle the urge to share … not all successful women sleep their way to the top … thanks for that comment … is definitely shows you are jealous; probably never had any success of your own so assume that the only way other women can have success is to sleep around .. Jo-Anne: seriously? maybe you are jealous too … women should stick together and support each other; not cut each other down … there is enough bad in the world that we do not need to do this kind of thing to each other
women who stick together and support each other when they don’t agree with the opinion being offered are just….weak and pathetic
Shania is like any other woman, she has faults and warts like everyone else. As for the abuse allegations (and thats what they are) parents are deceased,why now after all this time? Career on a little slump, so we use Oprah to refresh the public’s mind. Just shut up and sing Shania.
TO MARIE – ARE YOU MARRIED? EVERYONE DESERVES TO HAVE A COMPANION, EVEN IF IT IS THE EX OF SOME NASTY WOMAN WHO DECIDED TO COMMIT FORNICATION WITH HER HUSBAND. WE ALL NEED SOMEONE TO LOVE AND WHO LOVES US.
TO SUSIE – YOU ARE A REALLY PATHETIC, SORRY PERSON. I FEEL REALLY SORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE YOUR LIFE REFLECTS HOW MISERABLE, PATHETIC AND HATEFUL YOU ARE. YOU ARE ALSO VERY RACIST – WHAT’S WRONG WITH CANADIANS. HAVE WE IN SOME WAY DID YOU WRONG? MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME TO CANADA AND SEE IF WE INSULT YOU THE WAY THAT YOU HAVE INSULTED US AND THEN IF WE DO GO AHEAD AND TALK YOUR TRASH. WHY DON’T YOU START LOOKING AT YOUR GLASS AS HALF FULL INSTEAD OF HALF EMPTY. UNTIL YOU HAVE WALKED IN SHANIA’S SHOES, DON’T JUDGE HER, ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE SOMEONE AND BELIEVE ME IT WILL NOT BE HER!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT. SHANIA IS A REAL ROLE MODEL FOR ALL PEOPLE. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLASS ACT AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ONE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE BECAUSE SHE HAS STRONG MORALS.
well, i have like shania since i was younger when she first came out as a singer. i think she has a nice voice (its not fantastic or over the top, but its not bad either). she is a pretty woman and im glad she overcame what she has had to suffer through, no one should have to endure the things she had to.
jo, people just dont like you eh? 😛 poor girl!
and you know what mandee, “that don’t impress me much” hahaha!
@LOLA
Learn to read darling… I said she is entitled to have a companion…. it was previous people who said “why do these people keep getting married” duh … seriously … read first then engage the writing process!!! You just said exactly what i said but you are too quick to jump to a conclusion without reading properly. Re-read my comments to Tayderhead and Terri.
@Jo-ann … hmmmm if we agree with each other and support each other, we are entitled to be “strong” in your eyes, but if we support people we don’t agree with 100% we are weak … I think you are an evolutionary mess .. you do not agree with everything your friends and family do, so do you abandon them or support then even if they disagree with you?
I guess we should all just cut off everybody in our life if they don’t agree 100% with our views … nice world that would be since we would all be on our own as it’s not possible to agree with someone 100%
L O L A
no, not what I said…following the crowd, majority, popular vote, etc. when you don’t believe in what they are voicing I feel is weak. Stand up for what you believe in, you have a voice, your own voice.
Abandon them? Please. How melodramatic. If I don’t agree with their opinion, I say so, rest assure with no risk of “abandonment” or loss of feelings for each other. Strong, respectful of each other’s opinion, that’s how we’ve “evolved”…
we leave the name calling to those insecure enough to not have their own differing opinion so they latch onto the popular vote regardless of their real feelings…
hahahahaha! sorry Lola, meant for Marie…p.s. I just “re-read” your last comment…boy oh boy and you talk of not reading the content?
I think you should all take a Midol
gees
talk about melodramatic
nothing like women attacking each other
it seems like there is a lot of jumping to conclusions and not a lot of reading and trying to understand each other’s points of view first
carry on
I am outta here
you are all way off topic
pa
gonna go find some peace on another page 🙂
Go and be happy Shania … no matter what anyone else’s opinion is
yeah….like Shania’s reading this as you pen it…hahaha!
