Shania Twain opens up about forgiveness for ex-husband in new interview
Country music icon Shania Twain is known for breaking the rules and carving her own path in the music industry. But now, she’s opening up about a different kind of journey – one towards forgiveness.
In a recent interview on the “Great Company with Jamie Laing” podcast, Twain revealed how she found forgiveness for her ex-husband, Robert “Mutt” Lange, after their tumultuous split in 2008.
Despite Lange’s affair with Twain’s close friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, Twain has chosen to let go of any hatred towards him. She explained, “Forgiveness is in the family of letting go…it’s not about forgetting necessarily. It’s about understanding the other person.”
Twain’s capacity for forgiveness extends beyond her ex-husband, as she also shared her journey towards forgiving her late stepfather, Jerry Twain, whom she has accused of abusing her as a child. She emphasized the importance of empathy and understanding, even towards those who have wronged us.
The Grammy-winning artist’s message of forgiveness and empathy is a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from letting go of resentment and choosing to move forward with grace.
As Twain continues to inspire fans with her music and resilience, her story of forgiveness serves as a powerful example of the healing power of letting go.
