Shari told Good Morning America that her mother was physically abusive, stating, 'Whether it was like a slap to the lip or a slap to the cheek ... when I would practice the piano, her hand would slam and it was really scary.' When asked what she would tell her mother today, Shari said, 'Probably tell her I'm happy without you. I was scared of her for so long, and I am here without her approval, and I am just fine.
