Cher Reveals Shocking Financial Betrayal by Ex-Husband Sonny Bono in Tell-All Memoir!
In a stunning revelation, the iconic singer Cher has opened up about her tumultuous relationship with her late ex-husband, Sonny Bono, in the first volume of her highly anticipated memoir. The 78-year-old entertainment legend claims that Bono 'took all my money,' unveiling a narrative of trust misplaced and financial deceit.
In an exclusive interview with The New York Times, Cher shared that during her marriage, she was oblivious to the real state of her finances. 'I just thought, ‘We’re husband and wife. Half the things are his, half the things are mine.’ It didn’t occur to me that there was another way,' she expressed, reflecting on the naivety of her younger self. Cher emphasizes her struggle to comprehend Bono's motives, revealing, 'To this day, I wish to God I could just ask, ‘Son, at what point, during what day, did you go, ‘Yeah, you know what? I’m going to take her money.'
Cher, who first met Bono when she was just 16 years old and he was 27, recalls the early days of their relationship fondly. The couple tied the knot in 1964 but later divorced in 1975. Bono tragically passed away in a skiing accident in 1998, leaving Cher to confront their complicated history alone.
Beyond the financial struggles, Cher also sheds light on the controlling nature of their relationship, recalling how Bono limited her social interactions, even forbidding her from hanging out with fellow band members. This glimpse into their private life paints a picture of a partnership rife with challenges.
In this memoir, Cher also reflects on her unwavering passion for music, noting the remarkable bond she still shares with her 96-year-old voice teacher. 'You’re not really supposed to be able to sing at this age,' she remarked. 'I’ve been singing my whole life. It will make me sad the day I can’t.'
Writing the memoir has not been easy for Cher, who described the process as 'exhausting.' Fans can expect Part 2 of her memoir to be released in 2025, promising even more explosive revelations about her storied life in the spotlight.
