Shania Twain Opens Up About Abusive Childhood, Getting 'Smacked Around'
Shania Twain says her parents were physically abusive and the family often rationed food and ate stale bread.
- On Thursday, Shania Twain discussed her violent upbringing on NPR's Wild Card with Rachel Martin, describing a childhood marked by physical abuse from her parents and a chaotic home environment.
- Twain described growing up in a 'very violent' home in Timmins, Ontario, where poverty and her parents' volatile relationship fueled frequent arguments over unpaid bills and surviving on 'stale bread.'
- Recalling 'very traumatic' experiences, Twain said she and her siblings 'definitely got smacked around' and witnessed her mother losing clumps of hair from physical abuse, with the house shaking from violence.
- Although her mother 'did often try to leave,' the family remained together until 1987, when a fatal car crash killed both parents, forcing the 22-year-old Twain to abandon her music career to raise her siblings.
- This disclosure builds upon accounts from her 2011 memoir, From This Moment On, as the Grammy winner continues to speak openly about the abuse she survived while growing up in Canada.
