Cher Criticizes Directors, Reveals Legal Dispute

Cher, the iconic singer and actress, has openly criticized late director Peter Bogdanovich, whom she worked with on the 1985 film 'Mask,' calling him 'arrogant' and 'an asshole' for his behavior on set and his treatment of female cast members. She recounted an incident where Bogdanovich asked for her input on a scene location, only to berate her the following day, claiming he could cut her from the film. Bogdanovich had previously labeled Cher as difficult, citing her distrust of men, yet acknowledged they grew to like each other until a legal dispute arose with Universal Studios. Additionally, Cher mentioned her conflict with Frank Oz during the filming of 'Mermaids,' which resulted in his firing, although she acknowledged his directorial talent. These revelations come as Cher promotes her memoir detailing her experiences in Hollywood and personal life.
