Trisha Yearwood reflects on "Catspat" with Faith Hill

Trisha Yearwood's "catspat" with Faith Hill back in the late 90's is the stuff of Nashville urban legend. It all started after the two moved to Nashville back in the late 80's. Yearwood and Hills hubby Tim Mcgraw were close friend's at the time and it was Yearwood who introduced them. Later Yearwood divulged that she was hoping her friendship with Mcgraw would lead to something more, but after meeting the tall,blonde and beautiful Hill the rest as they say is history.
Fast forward to 1999 when the two women were backstage at the ACM award's and Yearwood overhears Hill making a derogatory comment about the full-figured Yearwood's cleavage baring outfit and fires back "Thats pretty big talk from a girl who still hasn't made it out of a training bra". Hill's response was less witty but equally unflattering "Oh go have another donut fat a**"
Adding insult to injury several month's later Yearwood who was set to record "Breathe" was informed by her record label that the song had been given to Hill. Shortly after Yearwood blasted Warner brother's record's claiming that the reason the song was given to Hill was because no one wanted to see a "fat girl" rolling around in the desert on a bed sheet. (See video below) Nothing against big girl's but most wont argue the slender Hill was much better suited for that video
After over 10 years of not speaking Yearwood and Hill reportedly patched thing's up over the summer. In a recent interview with "Country Weekly" Yearwood put thing's in perspective.
"I had a crush on Tim but Tim was infatuated with Faith. My record label shunned me in favor of Faith. Faith had two kid's and was a size 4. I had no kid's and was a size 14. Of course I was bitter! What woman wouldnt be!" Yearwood sad with a laugh.
Trisha might have plenty to be jealous about but you have got to admit the "training bra" comment was priceless.
