Good. She sucks. And Cher’s side was absolutely in the right. This wasn’t a copyright claim; she was promised royalties in their divorce agreement.

in what world is CHER not entitled to royalties to sonny & CHER songs?!?!?!?

Mary’s world

I literally cannot imagine that Mary needs the money. Is this just some petty power play?

[zibbydoo324]

idk I feel like cher is the one pulling the power move here

Mary pulled it, she just picked the wrong opponent because Cher slapped it down.

For fuck's sake.

I get that it really has to suck being continually overshadowed by your husband's much more famous relationship to his previous wife, but that's money owed for work Cher did. Withholding it isn't even the fun kind of petty, it's just shitty.
