The Face Of A Homewrecker?
People magazine purports to have uncovered the identity of the woman who is partially responsible for the end of Shaina Twain's marriage to Mutt Lange. According to the magazine, Marie-Anne Thiébaud who was a long-time friend and employee of the once-happily married couple entered into a romantic relationship with Lange while he and Shania were still married and they ended up leaving their spouses for each other ... ouch!
As Shania Twain copes with her sudden split with the support of family and friends in her native Canada, sources close to the singer say she is reeling from a double betrayal – not only by her husband of 14 years, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, but by a woman she considered a close friend. Lange's relationship with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, a longtime secretary and house manager at Twain and Lange's estate in Switzerland, was behind the breakup, say several sources familiar with the situation. "Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source, adding that the Swiss employee was a fixture in the household Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, shared with their son, 6-year-old Eja D’Angelo. "Their two families would vacation and spend holidays together," says the source. "Shania considered Marie-Anne one of her best friends." After the separation was announced, Lange told PEOPLE exclusively that an affair was "absolutely not the reason [for the breakup]... It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." He also denied that he was in a relationship with Thiébaud, saying, "It's not true."
Poor Shania. If true, this has to be really very difficult for her to deal with. The betrayal of a spouse or partner is already gut-wrenching but if that betrayal includes a best or close friend ... well, that just adds insult to injury. It is extremely unfortunate that this had to happen to Shania Twain (to anyone, really) and I can only hope that she'll be able to soldier thru this adversity and will emerge from this break-up a stronger person. I also hope that she takes her dog of an ex-husband to the cleaners in divorce court. [Source]
