Cher Details How Her Former Partner ‘Manhandled’ Her
It comes after she released the first part of her memoir “Cher: The Memoir,” where she detailed disturbing incidents that happened in her previous marriage to the late Sonny Bono. In the book, which was released in November 2024, Cher alleged that Bono “manhandled” her and “seriously thought about” killing her at one point.
She was married to Bono between 1964 and 1975, but after that relationship ended, she married Gregg Allman that same year before calling it quits in 1979.
Many years ago, she opened up about how Bono had become controlling in their relationship, years after finding success as a singing couple and even launching their own variety show called “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.”
“He didn’t want me to grow up or have any freedom,” she told Parade. “I wasn’t allowed to do anything except work. We worked more than we lived.”
Char also spoke on how infidelity affected their relationship, saying, “Stardom made Sonny a huge womanizer.”
She added, “One woman, or even five, was not enough for him. I found all this out afterward. I asked him, ‘How did you manage the logistics?’ I was trusting and faithful with him. The truth is, I’m not so sure we should’ve ever been husband and wife.”
