Separating from Sonny
In 1974, Sonny and Cher announced their separation. The once most loved couple in the music industry stated that they had had issues since 1972. Sonny said, “The public still thinks we are married, that’s the way it has to be.” While a legal separation was filed by Sonny, Cher cited “involuntary servitude” as grounds for filing a divorce. She also said that some of their joint earnings were withheld from her by Sonny. Not surprisingly, their separation went from okay to sour.
