American writer describes a childhood spanking she received from
her mother: (Suzannah and a friend had been caught by the local
policeman playing a fairly harmless trick on two old ladies that
lived in the village). `The upshot was only that I had to go and
apologize to the the old ladies - not such an easy task for me at
that age. My father stood by me, not only going with me but, when
we were there, refusing to endorse the old ladies’ more
extreme statements about my character and probable future. And
then, when we had returned to the Red Cottage, he took me into
the laundry and took down my jeans and underpants and hit me over
and over. This may have been the first time since our return from
Rome. Certainly it was the first time for a long time, for I had
grown too old to spank.`

Edinburgh.

by James R) - When Terry was 16 years old, she was invited by The
Elite Model agency to come to New York City to become a model.
Terry's mom had to stay back home in Iowa to raise Terry's 4
sisters. But even so, her mom did not really want Terry living in
New York, and at first would not agree to let Terry stay in New
York. Shortly after arriving in New York, Terry was befriended by
a New York music teacher, a man in his 30's (this man was not
Terry's music teacher, just someone who taught music for a living).
Terry said that he was very kind to her and that he wanted
absolutely nothing in return. They quickly became best friends
and he became like a big brother to her. He was the one who
encouraged Terry to study acting. Terry's mom would only agree to
let Terry stay in New York if this teacher would act as her
guardian. Her mom then gave Terry a complete set of rules which
she had to follow, such as the time she had to be home by at
night. It was up to the teacher to enforce these rules. Terry
said that he was a very strict disciplinarian and that on several
occasions when she did not follow her mom's rules, he put her
across his knee and soundly spanked the seat of her jeans with a
hairbrush. The article also mentioned that Terry and the music
teacher still remained very good friends.

misbehaved. (Confirmed)

the particular circumstances stated above.

Paradis - (contributed by Varmint) - During an
Italian gameshow in March 98, Vanessa mentioned that her father
had once hauled her into the bathroom on a train from Paris to
Nice, lifted her skirt, and gave her 5 or 6 decent swats. The
reason was because Vanessa (14 at the time) had snuck a beer from
the food vendor, lying about her age (which should have been 16).
This wouldn`t have been so bad apparently, except that she had
insured service by pointing out that her father could buy the
train if he wanted to. As she put it: `I said, if that`s not
enough, maybe my father should make some investments here!` The
worst part? The look on everyones face when she came out.

by her uncle on the side of a road for being mean to her sister,
this is described in Naomi Judd`s book, Love Can Build a Bridge`.
Whitney
Houston - (contributed by Jan) - Whitney`s
mother Cissy`s biography yielded two things. First, there are
several references to her own spanking experiences. Secondly, she
provides a very strong probable for Whitney, her daughter. She
says that she told her husband John that she wanted him to be the
"softie" among the two parents so that when she "whipped
the butts" of the kids they would have someone to go to. It
doesn't explicitly state that Whitney was spanked so there's no
official direct reference for her in this book, but it's about as
close as you can get otherwise.
(contributed by Michael) - On Biography (a
show on A&E) Whitney Houston's mother commented that Whitney
got her last and most severe spanking at 16.
#(contributed by Micah) - In
an interview in the June 1990 issue of Ebony magazine, Whitney
speaks of her mother and father: "He was a gentleman.
But he was my dad, and when he got mad and laid down the law, we
all abided by it." Whitney said that like any other child,
she was indeed disciplined, usually by her mother. "My
father spanked me once and slapped me once," she says with
laughter. "I was running off at the mouth. I should have
stopped while I was ahead, but I didn`t." (Confirmed)
