Marie Osmond has refused to address allegations she became a victim of domestic abuse during her 21-year marriage to Brian Blosil, insisting she has to "move forward" from the "pain" and "sorrow" of the union.
The singer announced she was divorcing record producer Blosil in 2007 and tabloid reports have since claimed the relationship was tainted by episodes of violence.
Osmond has remained silent about the rumours and she maintained her position when she was quizzed about the gossip during a candid TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.
She admitted the relationship had been a troublesome one, but stopped short of going into detail about the specific problems that spelled the end of her second marriage.
She said, "I had a very bad marriage, a lot of pain, a lot of sorrow. A lot of trying, a lot of effort, but you can't sit in something, you have to move forward.
"I really think at this point, with my children - I still have four children at home - you have to move forward. I will say this - as you move into a second marriage, for me, I was just really, really, really, really, really tired when I made my decision. You marry at the level of your self esteem; make sure you have self worth."
During the interview, Osmond revealed her late son Michael Bryan, who committed suicide in February, had urged the star to step back onto the dating scene so she could find happiness.
But she confessed she wasn't ready to begin a new romance just yet.
She told Winfrey, "He said, 'Mom, I want you to find a good man.' ...I don't know that I'm ready for that but he knew that walking through life alone was hard. He wanted me to be happy..."
The chat aired in the U.S. on Thursday.
