Oh my, seems like Cher is in a bit of a pickle.
Billboard.com reports that three of her backup dancers have filed a wrongful
termination lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday. This comes after
the three claim they were wrongfully fired from her current tour and the singer
engaged in racial discrimination. According to reports, the lawsuit alleges Cher remarked that there
were too many dark-skinned dancers on her tour and instructed her choreographer
to hire a white dancer over a qualified black performer. The lawsuit states the
dancers were fired from Cher's "Dressed to Kill" tour after informing
managers that another dancer assaulted an unidentified woman in a hotel room
while on tour. Two of the plaintiffs, who are black, say their race was a
motivating factor in their dismissal. The third dancer cites age discrimination
as a factor in her firing," reports Billboard.com. Liz Rosenberg, Cher's
publicist, denies the allegations and
says there is no truth to them.
