Paul Haggis Was Always a Liar: Sister Recalls Talk With Former Teacher

Paul Haggis’ sister was informed by Paul’s former teacher, a nun, that he had always been a chronic liar, starting in his youth.

TRANSCRIPT:

The proof of the fact that Paul, from the time he was very young, was a liar, actually was, for me, was a conversation that I had with one of his former teachers.

This is a lovely woman who is a nun. And she was the—was a teacher in our school. She taught Paul, she knew him very well, and she knew our family very well.

And she enquired after the family and after Paul and myself and were we still close. And I said, “No, we’re not close anymore.” And I explained to her why and the kind of lies that he was telling about our Church.

And she said to me, “Well, you know that he’s a chronic liar, don’t you?” And of course I knew, but this is a nun who knew many years ago when he was probably 7 years old, 8 years old at the time. She knew from then he was a chronic liar. And the thing is, kids lie, okay—but most kids grow out of it. Paul didn’t grow out of lying, he grew into it.
