Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly recalls feeling 'invisible' after inexplicably losing the ability to speak for years Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley opened up about inexplicably losing her ability to speak for nearly two years.
The 53-year-old actress, best known for her breakthrough performance in Father of the Bride, recalled how her terrifying medical ordeal left her feeling 'invisible,' unable to work and isolated from her loved ones.
After becoming suddenly silenced due to the muscles around her voice box becoming too tight, Williams-Paisley revealed that she was forced to turn down acting jobs and began withdrawing from family and friends.
As she searched for the right treatment, the performer noted that she 'had to fight to be heard' and discovered that 'no matter what my physical voice is' that her voice 'underneath is stronger.'.
Still, her advanced vocal weakness affected her mental health and caused her to 'self-blame' as she assumed that she was not 'breathing properly' or somehow at fault.
