Shania Twain Opens Up To Oprah About Her Divorce
Posted by
It's such a hard thing to live through, but thankfully, she's come out the other side a stronger, braver woman!
Shania Twain sat down for an in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey, talking about her new memoir, From This Moment On.
Most of the interview is spent talking about the most monumental change in her life in recent years - her divorce. Her then husband, Robert Lange, after 14 years of marriage, had an affiar with Shania's assistant and close friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud. Shania admits that when she learned the truth, she "didn't want to live" and went into a really dark place.
She admits that at one point, she implored her supposed friend to tell her the truth by writing her a letter and asking, "Why are you torturing me? Let it go, please…Find love somewhere else from someone else." Though she counts writing the letter one of the most "pathetic moments" of her life, she still believes she needed to reach that "type of low" to learn to rise again.
In the end, she decided that the divorce was "a very positive thing," and added, "I needed the wake-up."
