The 'Other Woman' In Shania Twain Split Speaks

People:

Shania Twain's close friend and longtime assistant is finally speaking out - and denying reports she's behind the singer's surprise split from her husband of 14 years, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.

Speaking for the first time since the news of the alleged affair became public, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, told PEOPLE, "You cannot believe everything you read in the press." When asked directly if she had an affair with Twain's husband, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, she replied, "No."

That contradicts several sources close to the situation, who say Thiébaud and Lange left their spouses for each other and continue to maintain a romantic relationship. Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, who have a 6-year-old son, Eja, announced their separation May 15. Since then, the "You're Still the One" singer - "devastated" by the revelations, according to sources - has sought refuge with family in her native Canada.

Hey Shania - Come to papa - I work in the oilfield, got big old calloused hands, and play a hell of a guitar - toured professionally once. If interested give me a call at BR - 549

I heard that Shania was seeing someone else and she spun this to make Mutt look bad before word got out about her relationship. But really, why do we think that marrying someone is ownership? Who cares if Shania or Mutt want to be with someone else? Work together at a relationship or you will drift apart...it­'s just real life - not a disaster to stir up hatred and ownership of another person. I hope everyone including "the other woman" will be well.

You marry someone named Mutt and you're surprised when he acts like a dog?

Her husband left her for Sandra Bernhard?
