For the most part, Shania Twain says that most of the men she's worked with have been respectful, but it only takes a single traumatic experience to override all the good ones. Twain has shared that in one instance, one of the guys on her crew tried to kiss her, and after she refused, his father — who was also on the crew — began to berate her.

Others in the industry tried to take advantage of her, too, like the unnamed songwriter who, even though he was married, invited her to his home and tried to crawl into bed with her. Another who she described as having an important (but anonymous) position in the music industry tried much the same thing, and got the same answer: no. Even so, rumors circulated, and she tried her best to ignore them.

In her memoir, "From This Moment On," she also wrote about an incident that happened where she should have felt the most comfortable: her home. She was sleeping on the sofa when she was woken up by hands on her, and she wrote: "I consigned the incident to the back of my mind, just so that I could face him the next time we saw each other. I never said a word to him or to anyone else, figuring that no one would understand or believe that my father was capable of crossing such a sacred line with me."
