Queen
Elizabeth I - (contributed by Ethos) - At the age of
15 the English Monarch was spanked by Seymore. He would run in to
her bedroom, remove her bedclothes and spank her bare buttocks
according to David Starkie`s biographical book & tape. (Confirmed)
Reba
McEntire - (contributed by Jan) - In her biography,
the country singer tells about growing up in the American West,
riding horses, and helping her father with the cattle. She states
that he kept a buggy whip over the door which when needed he:
"Would snap across our behinds." In another part of the
book she said she was once asked if she resented her father`s
whippings and replied that she didn`t. (Confirmed) I
haven`t read Reba`s biography, but heard her talk of receiving
spankings with a buggy whip on a TV interview.
(contributed
by Henry) - Reba Mcentire was taken to the
Woodshed as a youngster. (SF&R
Comment) "Taken to the woodshed" is a term
originated in the American South, meaning a child is taken out to
the woodshed for a spanking.
Reese
Witherspoon - (contributed by A Source) - The
American actress was given over-the-knee spankings by her father
when she misbehaved while growing up. She also received `swats`
at school in Nashville, Tennessee for
misbehaviour. (SF&R
Comment) No confirmation of this as yet. The word
"Swats" is an American term for spanks to the buttocks
with a flat wooden board (paddle) - not uncommon in southern USA
schools.
Rebecca Front
- (contributed by Paul A) - On one of those comedy review of the
week's news type programmes`, possibly Good Week, Bad Week or If
I Ruled The World, when corporal punishment was made illegal in
private schools in 1998. A couple of male comedians were the
hosts and British comedienne Rebecca a guest. They did a bit of
banter about Tory MPs voting against spanking being like turkeys
voting for Xmas, etc, and then discussed it quite sensibly. The
interesting bit is the girl was the one who had had it.
"Yeah," she said, quite irate/rueful - indignant is
probably the best word - "I had a real pants-down
spanking". The reason was for bringing a coconut to school!
Because everybody couldn't afford one, it was seen as socially
divisive! "Blimey" one of the male comedians said quite
aptly "who was the headmaster, Stalin? Did he use his
hand?" "no" she said quite softly "I had the
cane". A rare example of left-wing use of CP. (Enter for Picture)

Sharron Davies
- (contributed by Jack) - In an Olympic preview magazine, August
2004, I think in The Daily Telegraph, it had profiles of great
British Olympians, including swimmer Sharron Davies. This is not
the exact text of what she said, but close to it. "Competing
at such a high level at such a young age was hard. I didn`t have
time for a normal teenage life. I was in the pool first thing in
the morning and again after school every day. My dad was tough,
he kept me hard at it. I remember one time I told him we had to
stay late at school to rehearse for the Christmas show, just so I
could have a few hours to go to the shops with my friends and be
a normal kid. Of course he found out I lied and gave me the
hiding of my life, but that was his way." (Enter for

(contributed by Markoshka)
- In a newspaper article on the subject of corporal punishment,
the British former olympic swimmer said that she was spanked
growing up, and the cane was used for serious offences. (SF&R Comment)
No direct confirmation of this, but Sharron did attend Plymstock
School, Plymouth, in the 1970`s - which used the cane, although
she may be reffering to domestic discipline here.

to conceal my crime."
Shelly Long - (contributed
by Ozman) - In a magazine or newspaper article, The American

from her father were very ritualistic. She would be sent upstairs
to fetch a hairbrush, when she came back downstairs he would be

Desire, the 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.`

story about rock singer Sheryl Crow (although I cannot confirm

couple of years back, Scottish singer Sharleen Spiteri, of Texas,

school, for playing up in a music lesson ironically.
(contributed by RCB) - The Lead singer of

the British actress spoke about the short time she spent living
in Edinburgh, Scotland, during her childhood. She said she loved
the city but didn't like her school. She said: "I was often

Presumably she attended a private school as she would have
received the tawse at a state school in Edinburgh.
Samantha Fox
- (contributed by JD) - one of my friends
mentioned reading in one of the men's magazines from the late
80`s that the British model/singer was allegedly something of a

- The daughter of WWE Wrestling boss, Vince McMahon, was spanked
according to veteran Wrestling commentator Jim Ross. In an
interiew with an American wrestling magazine, he said that her
on-screen persona was quite different to her in real life.
"She comes across as a spoiled brat, who was born with a
silver spoon in her mouth and had always had everything her own
way. I don't think that could be further from the truth. She was
brought up like a normal kid and always respected people. I'm
sure she was taken to the woodshed a few times over the years as
well." (SF&R
Comment) "Taken to the woodshed" is a term
originated in the American South, meaning a child is taken out to
the woodshed for a spanking.

Terry Farrell - (contributed
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.

Harding - (contributed by Jennie) - I recall hearing
something about tonya harding`s mother spanking her with a
hairbrush quite often into her late teens.

by Rob) - I watched a documentary on TV once about Tonya Harding
and it did say that she was spanked by her mother with a
hairbrush until she was about 15 or 16. Her mother used to do it

misbehaved. (SF&R
Comment) Tonya Harding was spanked by her mother
although I cannot confirm as yet the particular circumstances
stated above.

mother used to switch her and her sisters.
Tanya
Tucker - (contributed by Jan) - In the American
country singer`s biography titled, Tanya, the writer Ace Collins
states that Tanya`s father Beau had to `spank her from time to
time.`
(contributed
by Jan) - In her most recent biography,
"Nickel Dreams," Tanya states directly and cites a
couple of instances (but not descriptions) of being spanked.
(Enter for Biography
Text) also contributed by Jan. (Confirmed)
Tiffany
- (contributed by Darren) - the 80's teen singer,
Tiffany, it was reported was spanked by her step-father.
Vanessa
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.
(contributed
by Jack) - A few years ago
in the French magazine Salut!, a sort of Hello or OK type
magazine, there was an interview with Vanessa just after the
birth of her first child. She was talking about parenthood and
her own parents, and said: (text not exact) "I hope I can be
more patient than my father was with me. He liked to be in charge
an at times would not listen to reason. Like when I was naughty
he would always punish first and ask questions later. I would
rather talk to my children before doing anything, you know, you
can't take back a spanking once it's done."
Vanna
White - (contributed by firmhand) - I
remember a few years ago hearing that Vanna White of Wheel of
Fortune fame was quite a handful in school and made a number of
trips to her principal's office and felt his paddle.

describes being punished by her father with a whip.
Virginia Bradford -

Judd - (contributed by Tracey) - Wynonna was spanked
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
anonymous) - 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)
