"LEGENDARY performer Cher is being sued for $10 million by three of her backup dancers who claim the music icon engaged in racial discrimination to prevent a black dancer joining her on stage.
The dancers claim Cher remarked that her successful Dressed to Kill tour had “too much colour” and instructed choreographer Kevin Wilson not to hire any more dark skinned dancers.
If that’s true, the diva no doubt wishes she could turn back time.
Wilson, who is black and also danced onstage on the tour, was fired in July along with two other dancers who claim they were discriminated against.
Both Wilson and dancer Suzanne Easter, along with former colleague Jacquelyn Dowsett Ballinger, are suing Cher claiming they were wrongfully fired.
Wilson and Easter, who are African American, say race was a motivating factor in their dismissal, while Ballinger, 42, is alleging age discrimination."
Yeah, yeah, Cher is denying it all but the claims are being made by persons of color so they must be true.
Reminds me of how years ago Jane Fonda was sued for gender discrimination because she paid the female trainers at her workout facility less than the males. These people are such hypocrites.

Did anybody bother to tell Cher the Cherokee did not build totem poles? That was done mostly by the Injuns of the Northwest and I find their inclusion in this video stereotyping and thus offensive. Whom can I sue?
