Great Company with Jamie Laing
Shania Twain says she’s not holding a grudge against her ex, Robert “Mutt” Lange … despite him cheating on her with her close pal, Marie-Anne Thiébaud.
In fact, speaking on the “Great Company with Jamie Laing” podcast … the singer said she felt quite sad for Robert … ’cause his affair ended their 15-year marriage in 2008, so it’s all his mistake and his baggage to carry for life — not hers.
Shania said, “I’m sad for him that he made such a great mistake that he has to live with. And I don’t know what that is, but it’s not … That’s not my weight.”
She also shared her zen approach to forgiveness … saying when it comes to people like Mutt, she believes in letting go and understanding why they messed up.
Also, Shania’s ability to move on might have come with a side of revenge. After Mutt and Marie-Anne’s affair, Shania leaned on Marie-Anne’s then-husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, for support … and, of course, we all know what happened next.
Frédéric and Shania tied the knot in 2011 and are still going strong!
Shania’s previously credited her new husband for keeping a much cooler head about their exes’ affair than she did — but sounds like she’s found some peace now as well.
