In a candid documentary, Canadian singer-songwriter Shania Twain discusses her husband's terrible affair with her closest friend.
The 56-year-old mother of one poured her heart out in the Netflix documentary.
The "That Don't Impress Me Much" singer admitted that learning of the affair caused her a lot of pain. She has encouraged many women around the world with her wonderful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics.
In the trailer for her upcoming documentary, the singer compared the experience to "losing her parents."
Reflecting back on what is now history, Shania also felt at the time that she “had lost her voice forever”.
Shania discovered that Robert had been unfaithful and had been having an affair with her then-personal assistant, best friend and “confidant” Marie-Anne Thiébaud in 2008.
Speaking about the situation with Oprah Winfrey previously, Shania told the host:
“I said, ‘Marie-Anne, don’t you think my husband is acting strange?”
“And she said, ‘No, I don’t see anything strange.'”
After 14 years of marriage, Robert who shares a son, Eja with Shania broke off their union and didn’t give her an explanation. Her friend Marie-Anne also never revealed the truth to her.
Shania was later informed of the infidelity by Marie-Anne’s then-husband, Frédéric Thiébaud – who had found out himself.
Speaking about breaking the news, he explained:
“I said, ‘guys, now you have to tell her. This is ridiculous. You owe her that.'”
After Robert and Marie-Anne refused to confess to Shania, Frédéric decided to get in touch with the hitmaker.
Shania and Frédéric bonded over their shared heartbreak. They then became close, struck up a romantic relationship, and were married just a few years later.
Speaking of their newfound love on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Shania said:
“We were a support to each other and really found something beautiful in the end and unexpected.”
