Why Shania Twain Doesn’t Hold Grudge Against Ex-Husband Robert “Mutt” Lange for Alleged Affair
Holding onto grudges? Well, that doesn’t impress Shania Twain very much.
The singer of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” opened up about her current relationship with her ex-husband Robert “Mutt” Lange more than 15 years after their marriage ended due to his alleged affair with her friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud.
On the May 28 episode of the Great Company With Jamie Laing podcast, Shania shared, “It’s very hard to hate or not be able to forgive somebody that you believe is a human being that deserves empathy and understanding. I think we all do. So, do I hate my ex-husband for making a mistake? No, it’s his mistake, not my mistake.”
She continued, saying, “It’s so sad for him that he made such a grave mistake that he has to live with, but that’s not my burden.”
For the 58-year-old, approaching these situations with compassion is crucial.
“Forgiveness, more specifically for me anyway, is not about forgetting necessarily,” she explained. “It’s about understanding the other person, and that might mean that they’re wrong. Maybe you believe forever that whatever they did was wrong.”
