Cher just reignited her alleged feud with Diana Ross.
According to National Enquirer’s source, Cher was upset over the fact that she wasn’t invited to perform at the queen’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this month.
And what made things worse was the fact that Ross was asked to perform at the milestone event.
A source claimed that Cher wasn’t thrilled to see her nemesis strut her stuff at the Jubilee.
“In Cher’s way of thinking, it would’ve been nice to be invited since she’s the grand dame of Hollywood, not Diana. The only one who could best her is Barbra Streisand, but Barbra apparently wasn’t up for the job. Besides, Cher looks great, her pitch is still high frequency, and she’s as sprightly as she always was,” the source said.
The insider claimed that Cher and Ross’s feud dates back to many years after they competed for Gene Simmons. At the time, Cher was madly in love with Simmons so she wasn’t thrilled to know that Ross was also smitten with him.
“Cher was so in love with Gene. They were living together and everything. And then suddenly he was leaving her for Diana. He talks about it openly like it’s all water under the bridge and no big deal. But it’s still very much a big deal for Cher. She’s still extremely bitter. What really hurt Cher is she considered Diana a true friend. They were very close until Diana stabbed her in the back. Cher still talks about what could have been if Diana hadn’t come along and stolen Gene. She’s never forgiven her for it. So, of course, it burns seeing Diana getting his high-profile gig,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. As of late, there’s no indication that Cher became upset when Ross got invited to perform at the queen’s Platinum Jubilee. There’s a reason why the royal family chose Ross and not her.
And it’s not also true that Cher is still reeling over the fact that Simmons left her for Ross years ago. Since so many years have already passed, it’s highly likely for all parties to have already moved on from it.
As of late, Cher and Ross have not crossed paths. And they have not also spoken negatively about each other in recent years.
