People can tell a woman that's she's not pretty in order to be able to control her, Cher is still one of the prettiest women I've ever seen or heard.
Spot on!
Truth!!!!
And Im sure they prop men upnreal good. Thats why my father and brother committed suicide. Life is just so great for men.
They do the same with men over "intelligence" and socio-economic value.
Definitely, she’s always had such an exotic and mysterious look about her
She looked like a super model, who ever told her she’s ugly? Insane
Different standards back then. I never understood it either.
I know! Always thought she was stunning.
If you listen closely to the words, they didn't actually tell her she was ugly, and she even reiterated that. I never thought she was ugly as a kid in the 60s and 70s, but that's after she grew up. I always did think she was a bit nutty, but that's another story. She is a phenomenal entertainer, though.
yes she looks like a super model here as an adult woman but maybe when she was a teenager she was awkward looking
Her husband
Imagine being told you’re ugly all the time and still being confident and iconic as Cher!
Imagine being a verbally abused man every day and society not caring one way or the other.
'Not really good looking??' She's beautiful. Those cheekbones, her eyes, even her teeth are cute.
I still think Cher was an incredibly beautiful woman. She didn’t look like everyone else, that’s what made her beautiful.
She was not ugly. She was beautiful!! Way more beautiful before plastic surgery.
Interestingly enough ...I knew a girl who looked alot like pre- plastic surgery Cher...and I told her so...and she took it as an insult...I had to explain to her it was a complement...That Cher was way more beautiful before the surgery.
@@zhendawes8802That's crazy. I would have said Cher "in her prime."😅 She was beautiful, though.
@@zhendawes8802*compliment
Even if the answer was yes, I don’t think it’s information the public needs.
The rest of the interview is better and reveals Cher's heart and intelligence😊
That was such a rude question too ..
So tacky of Rona to ask that question not once but twice, shame on her( or is she a her?)
Good and bad people will sell their body if I gets to a point of survival. I never did but some women do it to get by even if they have kids to feed.
@@deniseduggins8933 Absolutely! But you know dirt sells!
My Dad taught me a man who insults a woman for no provoked reason is not a man.
There are whole cultures of not real men...taught to interfere with women in public space, to degrade them Casually.
It kinda seems like he was just negging her and she was too naive to notice.
You just made my day with this comment..I never could put into words what my ex was doing and why. You nailed it
Not to mention that he was grooming her! He probably wanted to keep her insecure. Gross!
@@LoneWulf278 Exactly. He was negging her. It's a technique that some men use where they put a woman down so they then respond by wanting validation. Why would he be with her if he wasn't attracted to her.
And the story of them holding hands after three months is BS. She was only 16 when they met and she didn't want to got Sonny in trouble.
In about the year 1967 I was watching the Miss America pageant and I announced that I didn’t want to look like those girl, I wanted to look like Cher. I still stand by that comment.
That’s so rad ❤
That's awesome, somebody standing by something they said years later is rare!🙌🏻🤗
Never seen a woman so successful and beautiful be conned so easily into thinking she’s the opposite. What a tragedy. It leaves me wondering how much genius we could’ve gotten out of her had she been given a healthy dose of truth and confidence.
Sonny Bono...SONNY BONO telling someone they're not attractive?!?!
If nothing else, that man had plenty of nerve, audacity, and unmitigated gall.
It’s an old trick men do. Make a woman feel insecure like them so the woman would have low selfsteem and will not look for better man for her and she will stay with the loser who insults her
Honestly! 😤
Most men do.
The man was a goblin.lol
The audacity of him 😒
I loved watching Rona when I was a kid. I wish Cher asked her the same question "Rona, have you ever sold your body"
💯
Can't believe she even asked her that smh
The Cher of 2024 would definitely ask that question. She's so strong!
We'd know the answer... they paid HER (Rona) to go home.. lol.
@@marciap2961 Or she would have said something even more scathing.. which would be even MORE entertaining.. lol.
Who tf thought she was ugly wtfff she’s beyond beautiful look at those eyes , lashes , thick eyebrows , oval shaped face , perfect hair and hairline !!!!
Truly! Her eyes are magnificent and those cheekbones!
I always thought Cher was gorgeous!! I loved her crooked teeth too!! I couldn’t understand why Cher was with Sonny Bono!! He had the gall to call her ugly??
Right?! Sounds like abusive behavior to cut her down so he could have control.
@@AngelCoyoteMusic Exactly!!
@@AngelCoyoteMusicYep. Negging.
@@toomuchinformation Thank you for adding that word to my vocabulary!
She was pretty abusive to him. She knew he was not really all that in terms of looks and let it show.
Her charm is magical here. She is very honest.
She looks beautiful here
Crazy to think she's ugly. She's beautiful.
She had a big accent here and sunny was so cruel.
Imagine him telling her she wasn't good looking.That's the pot calling the kettle black.
Sonny was NOT handsome at all.
yeah, what a sleazebag. telling the woman you’re hitting on she’s ugly just so that she could feel diminished and needy.
More like a cauldron calling a Ming Vase "a simple flower pot".. He was the Ogre who wanted to keep the Princess hostage.
😂@@creativewriter3887
@creativewriter3887 lol was just about to comment this. A clod of dirt calling a diamond dull. Like dude...don't make us say it. 😂
Now you know why she felt for Britney.. these kind of questions, and from WOMEN?! Wow. Damn Cher is strong for sure
Like WTH!! She’s stunning! Some of the most beautiful hair i’ve ever seen!
Imagine being Cher… CHER! And you are told you’re not pretty, but you have a great personality. Omg 🤦♀️ she’s timelessly beautiful.
By Sonny Bono of all people 😒…I’d die for half the self esteem of a guy with a face like his and lukewarm talent to have the gull to tell a goddess like Cher she’s not pretty.
Cher is the most charming female musician with the most bangin body. She is also the MOST palatable active female musician over 70. So there.
I don’t get who decides what beautiful is or isn’t. She looks truly beautiful here
Cher has always been intuitive and intelligent.
I find Cher gorgeous.
I also find it disappointing that her husband spoke to her like that.
Older generation chauvinism
But was it only at the outset? Surely when they were doing the Sonny and Cher show and the whole world thought she was so glamorous and beautiful... and he loved her, surely he gave different feedback then...? They must have both changed their mind or else her beauty modelling beautiful clothes wouldn't have been such a feature of the show.
Strong similarities to a young Celine Dion here. In looks, early self-esteem and ultimate strength of character ❤❤
Cher way better looking than Celine Dion .❤
I also thought of Celine Dion !!!
After reading your comment I went, "yes! I totally agree."
Celine wanted to be Cher... I mean, look at the photo shoots from her first greatest hits album.. she co-opted Cher's look and even her Vegas show and interviews, she channeled Cher's mannerisms and even quips.. I think they're on same cosmic wave length personally.. :)
Celine Dion was never good looking.
She was 16. He was 28. Hmmmmmmm.
Handler.
I had no idea she was that young when she married him. How horrible.
16 years and younger they won't even let the parent sit in with the kid and the doctor, 16 commit adult crimes and go to adult prison. She never said he coerced or graped her. Everything is influential at that age. 16 is not always about being totally oblivious to situations
@@JustBree716 not you trying to justify that grossness. Yikes 😒
@@JustBree716 As RKelly & JEpstein and all others go to prison for what countless other white men have been doing for the past several decades. "boys will be boys' yet they're all over 25 years old with teenaged girls. Just sayin'
How on Earth was she even allowed to ask that ridiculous question?
It was 1975 .. how on Earth can you not see the invasiveness has gotten worse over the years. We've got the Drew Barrymore's Fake Cry and Grope show and Mayim Bialek's Trigger Your Bad Memories podcast and many other ways to ask inappropriate questions to anyone who agrees to talk to them... but especially the people who were child actors. Do you hear the stuff they've been asked? All any of these interviews have ever been is some silly shock factor for views..back then it was tv views and now its social media views. People never mattered.
Reporters could say what they wanted back than.
@pamalaboyd7008 I know, right? She pretty much asked her if she had ever prostituted herself! Even more shocking, she answered the question instead of walking out.
@@hendyfamlin1 Yeah, but today, no interviewer could possibly get away with basically asking a famous person if they were ever a prostitute. The interviewer would be canceled in a minute!
Cher was young then. She would eat a interviewer alive if they asked that now.
Cher was never ugly. I always liked her personality and I think she is very attractive. I like the way she dresses. She can wear anything and look great.
In the same breath, “you should have seen me at 21” lol
She’s actually very beautiful and talented hearing this sounds nuts 😂
Unless Sonny was also 16 there was nothing "good" about that man.
Well, we learn from the past.
Plenty of cultures didn't want women to get jobs Even in the 90's and they met 3 decades before then. So that means they were raised on values DECADES before then.
They couldn't see it back then, it was normalized in their culture.
Now we're more aware of age-gaps more than ever I think.
but I know as a Korean-American, watching movies and hearing old stories they really wanted these girls to find a POTENTIAL husband by the end of highschool. If you could get someone already established who had a job ( which took priority over age similarity ) that was looked at as good! Because " You don't need a boy, he can't take care of you. "
When really we shouldn't have been pushing relationships at all that young. I mean, especially in Korea what was the point? we live with family for years anyway sometimes even after marriage like wtf?
How dare bodies ask anyone if they have sold there body, What a bit h
Imagine asking one of the world’s most successful young women if she would sell her body to survive. It’s just absurd on multiple levels.
She never had too. DUMB AF question!
That’s funny because Sonny wasn’t good looking
Sonny (telling her she wasn’t pretty) was ‘negging’ on Cher. People just didn’t know what to call that control technique back then I guess.
💯
yes, classic example
Sonny could never get Cher unless she was insecure 16 year old.
@@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l thats what I was thinking as a watched her talking about it. He couldnt let a good thing go because he knew in his head she is an angel.
Thank you! That was so much fun to watch. Nostalgia.
What a terrible question. Shame on Rona
Yes, pretty ignorant. Cher should have returned the favor and asked Rona if she’d ever been a prostitute.
Cher, is hot, sexy, funny and talented.
I am not a woke person, but this is the most heinous sad abusive behavior by Sonny. Very shameful. Cher has overcome so much. This interviewer should be ashamed of the questions she asked. Worse than the Barbara Walters Dolly Parton interview. We have come a long way and further to go.
She is unique, like native American Indian with that long black straight hair.
She's half Armenian and part Native American.
@@genealogygirl7777she isn't 😆 no tribe claims her
@@potatoknishes5860She is what she is. She looks more Armenian.
...and big nose.
@@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717 shed white and Armenian so we know where the big nose comes from.
How classy Cher. How clueless and ignorant the interviewer
He married her when she was 16 and he was 28 yikes:(
I feel like when men insult a beautiful womans appearance for no apparent reason its a form of leveling- maning that they feel insecure deep down so they need to bring the girls self esteem down a bit to inflate their own sense of self. I hate that. The idea that if they break your spirit just a bit you will be more maliable and easy to control. It can do so much harm.
Cher is drop dead gorgeous no matter what she does or at whatever age she is. She is timeless. I admire her on so many levels. My name is Cher as well. It would be so great to meet her sometime. And her beau AE… 😍🔥 Mama mia!
She was stunning
Then she became beautiful and talented!❤Lucky and intelligent Lady!🇮🇹🇬🇧🌹
@@MissX33 ok
@@MissX33 Well probably you are but for sure you are very modest!😗
Rona, shame on you in so many ways.
She is quite possibly the most gorgeous woman. Her look is so special.
She's so beautiful I bet for the standards back then they wanted blond girls that looked dainty and submissive. Cher is confident talented bold. If anything she's intimidating to the opposite sex. She exudes power!
I still want to be Cher when I grow up. I watched her on TV as a kid. She was so cool, so pretty, and she had a great since of humor. And I love the way she sings and moves. Oh, and I think she really loves, loves deep and pure. I remember hearing Sonny on the raido saying "Cher was so dumb, I took her to see Mount Rushmore and told her it was a natural phenomenon, and she believed me". HE was the idiot. She loved him so much, and she was so young and trusting. He should have cherished her much more than he did. Love Cher, always will. And Rona Barrett - shame on you - but so proud of Cher the way she handled such idiot questions!
Well the "dumb" person went on to become an international star 😂😂😂😂😂
Whoever he made that comment to should have replied "So basically she was a child. Why did you marry her if she was still a child?"
she was gorgeous with the body to match and off the charts with talent. wtf is with people calling her ugly!?
She describes coercive control to a ‘T’
I like the way people talked in the 70s.
That was the drugs
So many people messed with that poor girl's mind.
They tried to, but look who came out on top.. Cher the legend
@@asturiasceltic3183 I agree, Cher is the ultimate survivor!
Cher is right... In the USA, dark haired women are viewed as evil, sinister and powerful. And blonde as desirable, beautiful and feminine..She says a lot has to do with Disney films portraying the villain as dark haired and often times the maiden in distress with lighter hair (except Snow White and Mulan). It seems to be mainly in the USA
I always thought she was beautiful when I was little. She and Diana Ross, even though my mother thought otherwise, on both. LOL. They were the epitome of glamor for me as a child back then.
Cher has always been beautiful
I just saw a recent video mentioning her and what she wore at an event. The fact that she’s still around, still relevant, going to fashion events, the Cannes film festival, galas, etc., is just so cool to me. She’s a living legend.
I always thought cher had unique beaty.
I was a kid and i loved watching sonny and cher. I loved the outfits.
"did you ever sell your body? would you ever sell your body?" sorry but that has absolute "do you wear wigs? have you worn wigs? when will you wear wigs?" energy
This is Cher pre-surgery. She looks great. I always liked her teeth that she hated. One can tell that she's on her way to being very insightful.
Well yeah. After she aged she probably got plastic surgery.
Cher is so frikken stunning
Sonny was intimidated by her so he “took her down a few pegs” typical abusive narcissistic behavior. Shes gorgeous always has been. Even her mom sucked.
I love her like this..All natural...
I’ve never seen the sale your body part of this interview. What kinda question is that?
Yeah, like wtf?
It's invasive and wrong to ask anyone.
@@hendyfamlin1You pulled a train 🚂 last night, didn't you? 😥😔
Question à la con malheureusement !!
Can’t even imagine a time when that question would be appropriate- wow.
I like her nose and her teeth. Weird how people get hung up on things other people think are attractive.
Regardless of how she felt about herself-"I'm not as dumb as I thought I was”-she was always confident or inspired enough to live according to her own terms. That's a kind of confident independence not many people have. Even speaking of sex as plainly as she does in this video is pretty rebellious against social norms; her staying that sex without communicativeness isn't for her implies she's pretty well experienced with that. But it doesn't faze her. She seems always to have just operated according to her own moral compass and not to have been controlled by anyone's judgments even if she may have felt self-conscious at times. That's really fascinating.
I hate it when the interviewer asks these insane and wrong questions like Rona starts with here. How dare they???
If I was a young man when Char was young and i saw her in the street I would have had to take a second look at her, she was very beautiful. But hearing her talk about her life in interviews shes very smart and interesting.
Why would she have even asked that…
She will always be my favorite forever . She is so honest , talented , greatest singer , great actress, funny, still looking beautiful and can dress like no other
No she married Sony to survive. Then she divorced him when she could take care of herself
Why the "selling yourself" question? If anybody has context please
Is that a question to ask people wtf
It is when you want to create shock factor for views ...tv was no different than social media .. you didnt get a good rating without any viewers.
That's wild to hear Cher, in the 70s thinking she's not gorgeous. And she's and icon now and so much more! So many woman have followed in her foot steps. Chers a legend ❤ and is be a huge part of music history. Just like Elvis is. ❤
I don’t see what they are talking about. I think she is really pretty
I think she was in love with Greg here.
Which greg
@@Gmmmgm Greg Allman
Can't get over how incredibly Beautiful she was! 🥰
Wtf .
Wow!! She was so real! No celebrity give’s responses like this anymore
They won't. It's all calculated anymore
This is me dropping change in somebody's cup on the street because that's literally what I have. I'm aware of it and thank you
Most beautiful? Difficult to say, but I would definitely call her beautiful. As for Sonny saying she was not good looking, she was FAR better looking than he was, so who was he to talk?
Why are all the comments about pretty/ugly. The interview snippets I’ve seen of Cher on how she speaks of men and then here she’s talking about getting married at 16 and floating while her husband does what???? Idk what is going on here
Maybe I’m missing something here, context , the point …
Hearing Cher detail her early life and constantly being told she was "ugly" is just incomprehensible to me because is beautiful, extremely talented, no one like her and she work her way to icon status. This is why the saying "don't worry about what others think of you" is so true.
I’m from 🇬🇧 UK and I find the American line of questioning on talk shows , just plain bizarre ! Why do so many of the female interviewers have such creepy voices ! How rude to ask her that ! Beggars belief !
Same reason bad guys in American movies have a Brit accent.
@@strengthandbulkMadness I have zero British 🇬🇧 DNA 🧬 this wasn’t a , I’m better than you observation ! I have American friends ( women) who don’t speak like this ! I was more curious 🧐 about why they speak like that ? It’s really creepy !
What a stupid question!
What kind of question is that.
This is offensive - like who does that? Mind yo business!
It’s insane to think anyone told Cher she was ugly from a modern standpoint as Cher is gorgeous... Sonny sounds manipulative as hell. Talk about negging. But even worse how the hell could anyone ask her if she sold her body just cos she’s poor? Wth? I don’t think you could get away with an interview like that now.
She was very cute as a child I don't know why she thinks otherwise
She's drop dead gorgeous, those people lied to her about her beauty 😍
He said she wasn’t good looking? He looked like Mr. Potato.
I don't care if she's an icon or what beauty standards were now or at that time, Objectively, Cher was beautiful at every age.
Sonny Bono told her she wasn’t attractive. Clearly he needed glasses. Cher is an incredible actress! I wish she would have continued doing dramatic parts. She should have won an Oscar for mask!
Such stupid question. Did the journalist sell her body?
that's what I thought too. That the journalist is projecting..
No - she sold her soul when she became a journalist.
I do wish Cher had turned the question on Rona.
What a rude question to ask of someone!
Why in the world did she ask her if she sold her body? Was that the rumor of the day?
Cher is a Goddess. I didn’t know until I read the comments that Sonny married her when she was 16. That is so messed up and he didn’t deserve her at all. Times have really changed because the entire world watched them like that was normal.
She is absolutely gorgeous I don’t know how anyone found her unattractive
She sold her soul
