Cher, the legendary pop icon, recently revealed a shocking detail about her past in her new memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part One. The 78-year-old singer shared the story of how she lost her virginity at the young age of 14 as an act of defiance against her neighbor’s son.
In the memoir, Cher described how the neighbor’s son, a senior in high school, would often spend time with her, working on his car and flirting with her. However, he would often dismiss her and treat her like an embarrassing kid when his friends were around. This behavior hurt Cher deeply, and she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Instead of “losing” her virginity, Cher joked that she “loaned” it to the neighbor’s son in an act of revenge. After the boy ditched her to hang out with his friends, Cher decided to have “revenge sex” with him, not because she wanted to, but to make him feel the same sense of dismissal that he had made her feel.
Cher described the experience as “massively overrated” and made sure to let the boy know that it meant nothing to her. She never spoke to him again after that incident, even though he tried to make it up to her.
The singer’s memoir is filled with other shocking stories from her youth, including details of an affair, suicidal thoughts, and partying with a drunken John Lennon at the Playboy Mansion. Cher also revealed that she shared a kiss with Hollywood icon Warren Beatty when she was just 15 years old.
Overall, Cher’s memoir provides a candid look into her life and the challenges she faced growing up in California. It is a must-read for fans looking to learn more about the iconic singer’s journey to stardom.
