They just have to take control of every aspect, don’t they?” And she answered: “They have to leave their mark, like a dog in a dog park. You know, every dog ​​has to mark every tree, right? So that’s what’s happening here.”

Later, John (known for the television series “The Dukes Of Hazzard” and “Smallville”) commented about the crossover that country singers – specifically Shania Twain– do towards pop: “As for Shania and the other friends you talked about, they were into country music and “coming out”, that’s one thing, but people “coming in”…I know a little bit about country music.”

Almost immediately the actor was attacked on his own social networks by the singer’s fans.who noted that famous African Americans, such as Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, have helped him in his career. So far Schneider has not commented on his statements to that medium.
