"Let me tell you, it is a degrading, horrible experience when you realize you're losing your husband to another woman." When Johnny Cash's first wife Vivian Liberto filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, she fully expected him to wed his mistress June Carter. But she never could have predicted that she would be vilified in pop culture as the bitter ex-wife who tried to stop him from singing. To make matters worse, she was temporarily excommunicated from the Catholic Church due to her divorce and banned from taking communion — a ban that was only lifted when Cash himself wrote to the archdiocese confessing his failure as a husband.

@fasc1nate That's a heartbreaking story. It's tough to imagine what Vivian Liberto went through during such a challenging time.
@fasc1nate It's just terrible! I lived through something similar and have not gone back to the church because of their attitude towards me, the victim of a womanizer.

🚨🚨Inside The Troubled Marriage Of Johnny Cash And Vivian Liberto🚨🚨 In 1954, Johnny Cash married Vivian Liberto of Texas and they stayed together for 13 years. But during that time, Vivian Liberto Cash suffered both her husband’s infidelity as well as widespread hatred over her racial identity. After their divorce in 1967, Cash married singer June Carter, with whom he had an affair during his marriage to Vivian Cash. And while June Carter Cash has maintained a large part in the story of “The Man in Black,” Johnny Cash’s first wife often goes ignored. This is the widely overlook story of Vivian Cash.
@fasc1nate Vivian's documentary is wonderful, as is her memoir. What Johnny and June put her through was pure torture. Johnny married the side piece 🤣😭😭
