Dixie Chicks‘ singer Natalie Maines is is DISSING Country Music Fans that DUMPED her 10+ yrs ago.

Katie Cook asked Maines how she feels about the current state of Country music and told her that many Country fans still love her.

According to CMT, Maines laughed then replied, “You still love me. … Lots of people don’t love me. You know what? It’s kind of like going back to your abusive husband. I’m just not feeling it. I’m sorry."

 Maines laughed again then Cook assured her, “We won’t hit you anymore,” but Maines wasn’t convinced. “Ah, yeah, right. That’s what they all say,” she said with another laugh.

Maines will release her first solo album, a rock album entitled Mother, on May 7.
