Canadian singer Shania Twain shared that she had to find ways to flatten her bust to protect herself from harassment by her stepfather.

Country singer Shania Twain recently shared in a recent interview that she had to find ways to flatten her bust during the years she lived with her mother and stepfather. She did this to avoid being harassed by her stepfather.

Sharing about her miserable experience both physically and mentally during her teenage years, the singer said: “I had to find ways to reduce the attention directed at me, I had to do everything to flatten my bust.

I wore two small bras on top of each other to make myself look like a boy, so that I didn’t have any feminine features anymore. My life would be easier if I didn’t attract attention. My life with my family at that time was horrible. I didn’t want to be the woman in that house”.

Shania Twain said she once felt miserable and had to find ways to hide her feminine features because of her stepfather. Shania Twain shared the hardships in her life through her autobiography “From this Moment” released in 2011.

In the autobiography, she said she had to stand up to stop her biological mother and stepfather from arguing and fighting, so that her mother would not be severely abused by her stepfather.

Recalling her mood during those difficult years of growing up, singer Shania Twain confided: “It took me a long time to control my anger. I always had to endure, be patient, and witness too many things happening in my house.

When I go out, I get easily agitated. No one really wants to try to pick a fight with me at that time, because I always live in a state of anger and frustration, and so I am ready to rush into any quarrel or clash as a way to relieve my psychology.”

Shania Twain’s parents died in a traffic accident when the singer was only 22 years old, after that, she took responsibility for raising her 4 younger siblings who were not yet adults.

After the family incident, Shania Twain became the one who took responsibility for raising her younger siblings, she had to rush into performing, trying to earn more money to cover all kinds of expenses. When she entered adulthood and began to live independently, Shania Twain also had to learn to heal herself, love herself more, and learn to live more naturally with her feminine traits.

Both grateful and miserable because of her stepfather

In fact, the relationship between singer Shania Twain and her stepfather is a mixture of love and hate, full of conflict and conflict. Her mother already had 3 daughters with her first husband, but then the two divorced, and her mother adopted all 3 daughters. Later, Shania Twain’s mother remarried and had a son with her second husband.

The stepfather completed the procedures so that his wife’s children could carry his surname. Later, at first, the media and the public still thought that her stepfather was her biological father. When more information was gradually revealed, Shania Twain explained why she did not want to talk about her biological father and let the media and the public understand for a long time that her stepfather was her biological father.

The singer explained: “My biological father did not contribute any effort or money to the growth of my three daughters. My stepfather tried to take care of all three of us even though we were not his children.

I talked about a man who had never appeared in my life, calling him my biological father – a man who never understood what it was like to struggle to earn money every day to feed the whole family. I think I would hurt my stepfather terribly if I did that. We are not related by blood, but we are a family.

Stepfather, half-brother, or stepchild, these are phrases that we never use in our family. If I were to clarify to you that the person you thought was my biological father was actually my stepfather, if I were to correct that information early, I would have caused him great harm.”

Shania Twain had a difficult childhood, her mother and stepfather both struggled to make ends meet, and the family often faced hunger. They had a large family and adopted a nephew after he became an orphan.

No matter how difficult the family was, the Twain sisters agreed to keep this a secret. They feared that if the authorities found out that the family could not afford to raise all the children, the Twain sisters would be separated and they would no longer be a family living together.

Although the whole family always wanted to stay together, in reality, the marriage between the singer’s mother and her stepfather was not smooth. Poverty and hardship often caused the couple to quarrel and fight. Shania Twain often witnessed domestic violence, and her mother sometimes fell into depression.

Starting at the age of 8, Shania Twain sang at bars to earn money to help her family. The singer always believed that performing from an early age helped her practice her singing and performing skills.

“My greatest passion was music and music saved my life. Even though I didn’t like performing in bars because of the drunk people, I loved music and it was music that kept me going through those years,” Shania Twain recalled.

The shock of having my best friend… “steal my husband”

Later, Shania Twain had to accept another shock when her husband – musician Robert Lange – decided to divorce his wife so that he could be with his wife’s longtime assistant, whom Shania Twain considered both a close colleague and a long-time friend. The two announced their separation in 2008 after 15 years of marriage and had a son together.

The shocking and shocking breakdown of the marriage left the singer psychologically traumatized and suddenly suffering from dysphonia, a psychological consequence of the incident. Shania Twain needed some time to regain her mental balance. Two years after announcing their separation, Ms. Twain completed the divorce proceedings.

After she had just completed the divorce proceedings, information began to emerge that Ms. Shania Twain was engaged to… the ex-husband of her “rival” – Mr. Frédéric Thiébaud, a senior manager at a famous food brand. This shocking rumor turned out to be… true, because right after the rumor appeared, Ms. Twain officially married Mr. Thiébaud and has been together with him since 2011.
