The truth about Cher's marriage finally comes out

Cher shared that she was respectful in how she wrote about her late ex-husband Sonny Bono in her new memoir.

While talking with Stellar Magazine, the 78-year-old actress stated that she wanted to show him in a positive but honest way in Cher: The Memoir, Part One.

Cher said, "I think he'd like it. I'm not sure he'd like all of it."

The Mermaid actress shared that she “tried not to paint him as a villain, because we stayed friends until the end. It was such a complicated relationship.” 

She quipped that despite trying her “best, it doesn't make sense sometimes” and added that she “doesn't give a s****** what the public thinks of her.”

For the unversed, Cher’s marriage went bad after Sonny blamed her for “his cheating,” saying it was because she would not have s**** with him “whenever he wanted.”

In her book, she also calls her ex-husband controlling and "Machiavellian” and explained that he controlled her so much she “wasn’t allowed to see her friends,” could only leave the house to “shop,” and “couldn’t wear perfume because he didn’t like the smell.”

Taking into account his nature, Cher mentioned, “There was something inside him that I could never understand, something that took him from being this fabulous, funny guy to being someone who would take everything from me.”

“For years, I've racked my brain for how he could have done what he did, and I still can't get over it to this day,” the Chastity star concluded by saying.

It is noteworthy to mention that Cher and Bono officially tied the knot in 1969 and got separated in 1969 after fighting for legal custody for her son Chaz.
