Shania Twain is considered the pioneer of country music, but in a new interview she talks about a difficult childhood.


The famous country singer, Shania Twain, revealed yesterday (Sunday) that she used to try to "carpet" her chest, to avoid sexual abuse by her stepfather, Jerry Twain.

The 57-year-old singer said that he allegedly abused her physically and emotionally, while she was living at home, as revealed in the "Sunday Times", in an interview given by the singer.

"I hid myself, I would wear smaller bras, or two bras on top of each other, to try to make them smaller, until there was no trace of me being a girl," she painfully shared in an interview.

"It was easier to be invisible like that. It was terrible, you wouldn't want to be a girl in my house," said the singer.

Twain, who started performing when she was eight, said she struggled with embracing her femininity because of the abuse she experienced.

One of her famous songs is “Man!

I Feel Like A Woman!”, and comes against the background of the abuse she experienced.

Only last October, the song won the honorable title - the best karaoke song of all time, according to the American Billboard chart. 

In 2011, the singer published an autobiographical book about her life, called "From this moment on".

She told him about the difficulties she experienced, and that there were times when she had to physically separate her parents, because she thought her stepfather might kill her mother.

"It took me a long time to manage this anger. You don't want to be a person who attacks me in the street, because I will take your head off if I have the chance," she wrote.
