00:00 So sad for him that he made such a great mistake.
00:03 Shania Twain reveals how she really feels
00:06 about her ex-husband after his alleged affair.
00:09 The country icon shares where her relationship
00:11 with ex-husband Robert "Mutt" Lang stands
00:13 more than 15 years after his alleged affair
00:16 with her close friend Marie-Anne Thibault
00:18 ended their marriage.
00:20 She explains on the May 28th episode
00:22 of The Great Company with Jamie Lang podcast.
00:25 - It's very hard to hate or not be able to forgive somebody
00:30 that you believe is a human being
00:33 that deserves empathy and understanding.
00:37 I think we all do.
00:38 Do I hate my ex-husband for making a mistake?
00:41 No, it's his mistake, not my mistake.
00:44 So sad for him that he made such a great mistake.
00:47 - Say great. - That he has to live with.
00:48 So, and I don't know what that is,
00:52 but it's not, that's not my weight.
00:55 - And for the 58 year old,
00:56 it's important to look at these situations
00:58 with a focus on compassion.
01:00 - Forgiveness is in the family of letting go,
01:04 but forgiveness more specifically for me anyway
01:08 is not really, it's not about forgetting necessarily.
01:13 It's about understanding the other person.
01:17 And that might mean that they're wrong.
01:22 Maybe you believe forever that whatever they did was wrong.
01:25 - Shania and Mutt, who share 22 year old son, Asia Lang,
01:28 split in 2008 after 14 years of marriage,
01:32 allegedly due to the affair.
01:33 However, Mutt denied his infidelity at the time,
01:36 telling People of Their Separation,
01:38 "It's absolutely not the reason."
01:40 And Marie Anne echoed the music producer's statements
01:42 to the outlet at the time saying,
01:44 "You cannot believe everything you read in the press."
01:47 Shania's also found love again
01:48 with Marie Anne's ex-husband, Frederick Thibault,
01:51 whom she married in 2011.
01:53 But since then, Shania has been able to navigate
01:55 her relationship with Mutt
01:56 as they've handled co-parenting smoothly.
01:58 She previously told Dax Shepard
02:00 on his Armchair Expert podcast,
02:02 "Mutt and I parent well together.
02:04 For people who don't talk to each other, we'll just text.
02:06 We both love our son so much,
02:08 so we don't play any games like that.
02:10 We have the same priority.
02:11 We share spaces for him.
02:13 No nonsense there."
