Shania Twain kind of feels sorry for ex-husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange for fumbling Shania Twain. It’s a pretty big goof on his part, you must admit. On the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast, she said she doesn’t hate her ex, because it’s not her burden to feel that hatred. “Do I hate my ex-husband for making a mistake? No. It’s his mistake. Not my mistake,” she said. “So 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.” Lang infamously cheated on Twain with close friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud. After divorcing Lang, Twain wound up marrying Marie-Anne’s ex-husband Frédérick Thiébaud. Both switcherooed couples are reportedly still together.
Forgiving doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting for Twain, however. “Forgiveness is in the family of letting go,” she said. “But forgiveness, more specifically for me anyway, is not about forgetting necessarily. 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.” She and Ariana Madix should get tea at Something About Her.
