Neil Diamond Reveals His “One True Hate”—AShock Confession That Stunned Everyone
Neil Diamond—beloved voice behind Sweet Caroline and Cracklin’ Rosie—has always been seen as a kind-hearted, laid-back icon. So when he admitted he had been truly hateful to one person, fans were stunned.
A rare video surfaced in which Diamond recounts hating a woman “with every fiber of my being.” He revealed no name, but his tone conveyed deep, personal hurt. The clip quickly exploded online .
Speculation runs wild. Some believe:
-
It was a deeply painful romantic relationship.
-
A professional falling-out from his 70s–80s heyday.
-
Or a trust betrayal by someone close in his creative team.
-
Diamond rarely discusses his private life. Revealing this now signals the significance of the moment. Critics suggest that after retiring from touring, he feels freer to reflect and share his emotional scars publicly.
Across his career, Diamond wrote heartfelt songs about love, heartache, forgiveness. But this revelation sheds new light: the peaks and valleys he sang about were all too real.
Songs like Love on the Rocks and I Am… I Said echo the pain behind this confession, reinforcing why his music resonates so deeply.
