They tried to hide the drama behind the scenes for the sake of their careers. They’d have other lovers live in their home with them where no one could see. Their anger only came out in subtle jabs during performances. Their empire eventually came crashing down. When they divorced, Cher hoped to remove herself from the restrictive contracts Sonny convinced her to sign. She also wanted her fair share of their work together.
It took them time to succeed on their own. Early attempts to recapture their public personas failed. Cher is a master of reinvention and eventually overcame it. Sonny left the music world and moved on to food and politics as well as another family. Death changes one’s perspective, and Cher was devastated when she heard of her ex’s fatal ski accident. She read a touching eulogy at his funeral.
That was one of the last peaceful moments she had with anyone even close to him. She soon began a battle with his widow Mary.
Death does more than change perspectives. It also opens up rivalries and questions over who gets what. When it comes to the royalties from the songs Sonny and Cher sang, that’s still up in the air. Mary and Cher haven’t been able to agree after years in court. Neither woman is relenting, but the judge isn’t convinced about which one is right.
Like and subscribe for more famous couples who shocked the world when they split. Watch our video to learn why Cher is suing Sonny’s wife 25 years after he died.

That is just so wrong greedy witch
Cher is such a greedy witch
Cher is such a greedy witch
Not true
It's not about the money, it's the fact that the ex wife had complete control of all the music and royalties
Cher deserves her half.
Mary had nothing to do with the music, she shouldn't own 100%, she should only 50% at MOST
Give Cher her credit.
NOW that makes SENSE. I didn't know that situation. So yes,, Cher does deserve the rights of the music Sonny and Cher had done together.
Amen! Man, it's amazing how pathetic people can act.🙄
Give Cher the credit that she totally deserves. She's the one with the talent not Sonny's wife Mary.
How gross but basically strangers own other people's songs all the time. Cher just wanted out when they divorced. Yes sonny discovered her but sonny also wouldn't have made it w/o her. Mary Bono really should just give cher 50% so that they can stay out if court to be honest. I don't know I read cher just wanted out so got David geffen to help her. Sonny really had her tied up in contracts law suits if she stopped working w/ him which is crazy.
My girl CHER won today!!! That woman was trying to keep ALL of the ROYALTIES!! She contributed NOTHING to SONNY and CHER the DUO. Team CHER😍
I doubt this is about Cher needing the money. There must be something else we are not privey to.
Her work! Her money.
It’s old debt from their divorce agreement. It’s also royalties from her work. She should have sued him much sooner.
She needs to let it go already. She's Cher. She doesn't need it for one. She's already a legend. Her children are all set.
It makes her look petty and immature.
@@j.y.3604 They all live in such a strange world... haha.
Principle, yes. You are correct.
Let's hope Mary does something loving and constructive with the money.
Cher has enough money to last three lifetimes. 😂
He owned to 95% of cher enterprises.awyer owned 5% ..was a big reason they divorced.. he cheated for gears..and always talked about loving the power of sonny&cher@@Stella_In_Real_Life
It's not about how much money Cher already has, it's about doing what's right and what's fair.
First time I knew of them was in 1966,their were on the cover of the Parade, I fell in love with Cher! I thought she was so beautiful! I was only 6, I had a very tragic childhood, and watching them growing up helped me cope, Sonny with his antics,and Cher with her snarky remarks were hilarious, an Sonny always being the bunt of her sarcasm! I'm telling you!, I loved them, I wish they grew old together! And somehow I feel Cher has regrets of the breakup as well. ❤❤
I do feel you when you said they helped you in what you were going through at the time when you were growing up and needed the safe and stable environment S&C were a recluse you could always to once once a week or in their music. They were the family I never had. When in 1972 the S&CCH started, they became a staple in my life each week. When Ted would open the
show @ the drumroll w/Ladies & Gentlemen: SONNY & CHER that was the anticipated hour of bliss. From the Sunday evening that it aired, I'd be counting down the days each week from Monday to the next Show's run.
I first saw them in 1964 in B&W tv and I just realized we where both 6 when we first saw them and rode on horses made of sticks.
Yep Cher was still the coolest chick EVER and still is
She trashed him all the time when he was alive and couldn’t stand him. Then she acted like she lost her best friend when he was gone. I never bought her fakeness. She should’ve been decent to him when he was alive.
Might not be 100% fakeness. She's always been fake in my eyes that's just what I pick up from her through the screen, but it could be like at least 95% remorse and regret for treating somebody so horribly.
@@WillBlindYouWithLight Hopefully, she did learn something because I believe he loved her and helped her establish her career. He definitely seemed like a nice person especially.
You are wrong. They stayed close friends after they divorced and even when they were married to others. Watch them on the David Letterman show in 1987.
RIP Sonny Bono
Kids of the sixties loved the Sonny and Cher TV show
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
I liked this but I loved Hee Haw
and STILL DO
it is absolutely not about the money. Cher is entitled to at least 50% of the royalties. personally, with him gone now, I think she should have the rights to 100% of the royalties. she was the one singing with him, not his widow. Mary had absolutely nothing to do with “Sonny and Cher”. at most Cher should get 50% of the royalties and Chaz and Sonny’s oldest child should get the other 50%!
Vocalists don’t get royalties, the songwriter is the only one entitled to them.
My dad said after divorcing sonny she would be a superstar and she is and he wasnt.
Without Sonny Cher would've wound up in a cat house. She was a rebellious teenager, with no motivation. Sonny's business sense made her a star.
Cher should get 50 percent of the money 🤑
BobSickRock….Ah, CHER dropped Bono name legally after she divorced…Mary on the other hand has been married 5 times since Sonny and still goes by Mary Bono….”I Gold Dig You Babe”!!
Cher deserves the rights to her and Sonys songs ! Period !
Based on their 1975 divorce agreement they would split future royalties evenly; allegedly the widow is not adhering to the agreement resulting in Cher getting ripped off.
Exactly! It's not greed, just what Cher is entitled to.
EXACTLY !!! Most OPINIONATERS here are flippin off at the keyboard w/o KNOWING the context of what is going on in this case. What can I say, Small minds make grandiose statements w/no foundation to them
Agreed, but why hadn't he been giving it to her all along?
I remember their divorce and the consequences it had on their tv show. Their reunited tv show didn't have the same appeal because the magic between them was gone. Everyone knew they were divorced and their happy relationship seemed forced. To bad Cher didn't feel comfortable with her own show because it was good and probably had a longer shelf life.
When she was continually knocking Sonny on the show, it was cute and endearing. However, once they divorced but reunited on the new tv show, when she made fun of him it was hurtful, not funny. I no longer watched the show by then.
Yes, I was sad to hear of this at first.Then their shows apart flopped and upon doing a new show together as an attempt for replenishment but it just wasn't the same as when they were married.
I met Chrr on a merry go round in 1971.
I saw them live in March, 1972. It was sad to see them divorce. I never enjoyed Cher as much outside of their duo.
He was definitely the brains
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
Their fans considered them a duo when they bought their records and they assumed she would get half of the royalties when they bought their music. She os entitled to her fair share.
Do You Know How Much That GREEDY Ungrateful Hag Is Worth?! Google And Compare That To Sonny's Widow Worth. If You Still Believe The Same, Shame On You!
WELL DAMN RIGHT, AFTER WHAT SHE DECEIVINGLY DID TO CHER. Mary does NOT own nor has a right to ANY of the music that Cher owns one half of and is one half of the creator of. To do what Mary did was a jealous cnt move. What!!! OMG she's born the day after me !!!
Omg she hasn’t enough money yet. Damned greedy people
Doesn’t matter. It’s her money. She deserves every penny.
@@ericeandco Well how much freakin money does she need?
HERS @@auntiechercher4266
Just think if she would
Have not crossed paths
With sonny she would
Just be common woman
Working a 9to5 or
Or on welfare
Hey Brother good video but make sure you use correct footage from content not images from General Hospital because the monster name was sunny but not Sonny Bono
If these guys can't even get simple facts right then it's NOT a very good video. Their lack of correct facts on here is a normal thing. 💯
And Kim Kardashian too
Got it, thank you so much for the tip! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse You keep flooding your channel with 3-4 videos a day, some repeats. Who has time to watch them all except those that have the need to be FIRST. 😆 🤣 😂
Cher Has A Net Worth Of 360 MILLION Dollars... Sonny's Widow, 6 Million Dollars. Anyone Ready To Start A GoFundMe For Cher? I Hear, She's In DESPERATE Need Of Money.
Good for her, that song did not belong to anyone else except Sonny and Cher.
I love seeing them together, but I wouldn’t say I was devastated when they didn’t make it show business is a hard business to keep a marriage going. And I don’t think Sunnie was very fair if everything was going to him and his lawyer. Honestly, I think she should win just on those two things alone, I am shocked how many men have done this he’s not the first and he won’t be the last
Us too! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Used to love Cher till I saw her tweets. She's not a nice person.
Yeah? I've never seen her tweets but I've heard from folk who know her she can be very unpleasant
Wealth, Fame, And Power Has A Way In Bring Out One's TRUE Identify. It's Obviously True When It Comes To Her.
No, he isnt.
We'll look at her tweets too! Thanks for sharing. What other types of video would you like to see?
She is not nice and very arrogant.
the Cher solo show was the best after season 2 of S&C Comedy hour
Why is that a picture of Kim Kardashian at the 1:21 mark of this video 🤔
More devastated about Sonnys untimely death. He roasted J. Reno over the use of tear gas upon 28 kids at Waco. They sll died sadly.
Sonny was going to open up a federal investigation upon returning to work after Xmas holidays. He was a good skiier! Everything stinks.
Interesting
So sad Sonny cheated Cher out of money and made it difficult for her. 😮
Sad indeed!
Too bad Cher was so stupid she signed such contracts. Dumber than dumb and then tells us who to vote for!
Why are they showing Sonny from General Hospital and the girl connie that was on the show...And there was a picture of kim Kardashian too roflmao
I can't believe Mary has gotten away with this for as long. Mary had no part in making of this music maybe Sonny did get cher on recording with Phil spectre but it's Cher's voice that made songs hits . Cher is entitled to 50% . Mary being greedy
Dude I thought she was rich as hell, guess not
Rich In The Tune Of 360 MILLION Dollars! She's Either Greedy...Or Just Plain Jealous!
06:45 lawsuit
My heart hurt for them and Chasity when I heard about their break up
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! What is your favorite song of Cher?
Yes and Cher should be entitled to the songs that Sunny and Cher shared and sung not Mary she had nothing to do with it
If Sonny owned the rights to the songs then his heirs now own it.
Sunny and Cher
Sonny, not Sunny.
Cher's Net Worth Is Nearly $400 MILLION Dollars...Sonny's Widow -- Just 6 Million Dollars. What Did You Say About ENTITLED? What About FAIRNESS?
I remember their show together and the hits. Devastated? No, it started seeming commonplace, and just another duo falling into step.
It's time for shed to leave the lady alone she doesn't need the press this
Sher.......greed will out.
Mary Bono deserves the rights to all of the songs that Sonny penned, Cher should have the rights to all of the recordings. Why is that complicated??
She still living
It's amazing how the hippies of the Sixties like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Rolling Stones ect how materialistic they became. The times they are a changing

It is in their divorce papers
Sonny Bono the smart one and an American patriot
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
You'd think Cher Bono could move on and leave the dead (and their money) alone. She's super narcissistic.
And Probably SUPER Jealous That Sonny Loved His Wife - In A Way He Never Loved Her.
Um no...she's entitled to it. He owned her whole they were married. He took everything from her even though she was the talent. She actually had to pay HIM even though it was called Cher enterprises. He was a corrupt. His wife that he married years later has no right to have the rights to the music that cher made famous
@@jordoncarnegie1206 What YOU Think Doesn't Matter! Cher Has A Net Worth Of 360 MILLION Dollars...Sonny's Widow, SIGNIFICANTLY, Far Less. Please, Tell Us About "Fairness" Again?
@@rebeccalee1065 it's not about money. It's about the principal. Mary didn't do the work. It's simple. If Mary doesn't haveoney thats her own problem. She was married 3 or 4 times. Maybe she should've saved some money from each of the guys instead of trying to take what's not hers.
He got every penny due him and never paid Cher what was due her. It’s her money.
Why did they always give their kids those weird names? Why would Cher need his money. She doesn’t make enough?
I think she's a rather twisted woman, but she did have talent. Sonny pretty much made her. If this is about the money owed her for royalties they made together, then yes, she should get her share. Even if it means she's being greedy. But let's face it, I doubt she'd have been much without him to begin with. She made good on her own, though. And like her or not, you have to give her credit for that. This is all about money. And in the world we live in now, $$$$ unfortunately RULES.
I remember on the Oprah show Cher said sonny owed some producer 1.5 million dollars so therefore she owed Sonny that money after the divorce 😢
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info about Cher and Sonny! Be safe and have a great day 💕💕
She cant possibly need that money right? I mean she has been in movies and had many hits after all that. You gotta be kidding me if she's broke
small minds = SMALL thoughts
As though she doesn’t have enough money
Watch or read the story "The Beat Goes On" and you'll see what a real B she is sleeping with the band.
Sonny Bono Skis Horses n Hittin some Trees
Predator going after Sonny’s wife for money! She is trying to get control of her son Elijah’s money too she is so disgusting 🤮
Pay Cher what she’s owed. It should have come out of the estate like all of the deceased’s expenses and distributions.
Wow, I knew Cher had some ugly faults, but did not know she was also greedy...Does she really need the money,?
I don't think it's so much greed as being spiteful. Mary made Sonny happy, and proves she was not as sweet a partner as she claimed to be.
Why should the former Mrs salvatore Bono,a.k.a Mary Whittiker, get teh money from the Sonny & Cher songs? She was just a toddler and a kid when Sonny & cher were on the music scene.Cher has every right to go after what she worked hard for. Its her songs as well as well as her voice on those records,not Mary;s.. Mary should honor Sonny's agreement to pay Cher those royalties,no matter what. Mary seems to be the greedy one. What if you done the labor and someone else reaps your earnings
@@Cherazny I totally agree! I remember too.
It's not greed it's her music.
@@jordoncarnegie1206 It's not really her Music, Sonny wrote, Sonny Produced it, and though Sonny wrongly took total control of it, it's still Sonny's (Like it or not).
Sonny wanted his new wife to get it. Mary has only that, Cher is loaded and beyond (that money she is trying to take away from Mary, is pittance compared to what Cher earned after splitting from Sonny, she does not need it, yet she is trying to take it away from Mary, why...And the reason why is, she is vindictive and/or greedy, because she does not really need it.
Don't say it rightfully hers, even if it was (Legally it's not), she does not need it, and is trying to hurt Sonny's new wife by taking most of her money, and trying to destroy her.
@@tiye65 it IS rightfuly hers because she was part of the duo. Not Mary. When they divorced, she was entitled to royalties as per the agreement. The music is not all Sonny's. Just because he wrote most of it doesn't make it just his. You're missing the principal of it. It doesn't matter that cher is rich. It's jers not his wife who came years later. Cher made them famous.
Hów ridiculous. Start a charity "The Beat Goes On". Like Bon Jovi's soul kitchen. Do anything with it that benefits humanity. Arguing only benefits lawyers

The ex wife knows Cher sacrificed Sonny…
God will get her for being so greedy
FREAK!
No strong father figure. She could sing and look good enough. Living the swinger life. They were having money problems. People think Sonny was murdered over politics. Money money money where is the money?

@1:20 mins in, the photo os Sonny and Young cher. She looks a lot like Kim Kardashian. Or is it just me?
No Chaos….Kim Kardashian looks like Cher….and there is only one…Cher!
Why don't you little punks, today, just leave her alone? Is your life so empty and shallow? You only wish there were talent close to this woman today.
Cher will get nothing.
AlanMutt….ah, it’s Cher’s voice on the records…not Mary’s. That gold digger wasn’t even born when their songs came out …Mary deserves nothing.
Seems odd
I hope the fair and equitable happens
Cher does have two adult children to consider what is fair to leave to them
Like she real needs the money. This bull crap. This a lawyer trick to get payed. He die let in rest in peace.
Sonny MADE Cher, a high school dropout who was nothing until Sonny, who was affiliated with Phil Spector, gave her a career. Since they broke up, and Sonny died young, Cher has made a zillion dollars, had a zillion plastic surgeries, and at her age, she doesn't NEED another cent. "Their child" is no spring chicken and doesn't need "child support". Is Cher entirely insane, wanting Sonny's money after all these years? Senility?
Whats Kim k got to do with it 😂
It's she dead yet?????????
Holy moly
Sonny looked his happiest when he was married to Mary. Cher, not so much. Was Cher so desperate for money after his death to pursue alleged alimony? How crass and embarrassing for her.
I don't believe any of this story. According to Sonny’s mother, Mary was having an affair when Sonny died. She's a serial bride, that's for sure.
Get your FACTS right b4 running off with your disjointed opinion
01:20 Cher looks like Kim Kardashian
If not for Sonny... there would be no Cher. Period.
Cher has more money than she'll ever need. Why does she have to harass Sonny's widow ? Absurd

Dear, obviously you have not researched what you are trying to make a statement about, and while you're @ it, do some on ethics and also law in the creative industry
@@FactsVerseReally? So it's wrong for Cher to want the terms of the divorce settlement to be enforced? Why? Under what legal scenerio does the widow have the right to terminate a valid divorce settlement that existed before she was married to the late Mr. Bono?
Char says she is part Native American Indian. Maybe the SUE tribe?
I'm not buying what she's selling.
Most of these comments are so stupid and ridiculous. This man used her and made money off her and didn't pay her her dues. Everyone knows Cher's music but no one knows Sonny music. Mary just walked in and then inherited money Cher made. Sonny's music is actually Cher's music and Mary is claiming copyright over Cher's music. Mary is disgusting because she's the one who wants to profit off Sonny and Cher's past relationship and music. Cher is fighting for what's rightfully hers. Mary has been married so many times but she still wants Sonny's money that he made with Cher. And people have the audacity to claim Cher is greedy. Twisted morals in this comment section.
What you said is true..
I think the saying is true. The more, you have, the more, you want. I think Cher doesn't need any more money. I don't know if she's greedy or not. Maybe, it's spite work, because Sonny had another wife. Maybe, just maybe, she wanted Sonny back. Being she couldn't get him, she settled on the money, just for the heck of it.

Thanks for the heart.
Um no. Wrong on all accounts. She's entitled the royalties that are hers according to the terms of their divorce. Do your research on how awful he was to her and what he took from her. She was the talent and he made HER pay HIM when they divorced. He was a greedy shady man.
@@jordoncarnegie1206 Cher already has millions of dollars. She doesn't need to take money away from Sonny's second wife who doesn't have much money of her own.
Xher is like pricilla presley they noth about money & attention.
Listen Keat💩….as history will show it was Sonny and Cher “I Got You Babe” and not Sonny and Mare , “ I Gold Dig You Babe”
Cher must be broke - jealous of somny nomo''s.
She was so beautiful but then she got face surgery & ruined her face. She probably needs the money for more surgery.
Sad but true! What is your favorite song of CHer?
Cher put up with a lot. Seriously, that no talent runt had the nerve to cheat on Cher, one of the most glamorous and gorgeous women in the world at that time
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣we should be so unfortunate as her fk off
Sonny did not deserve her !
She could have done better than the likes of him.
She was just a young kid when she married him. I doubt at her age she knew any better. 😊
Cher has admitted that without Sonny, there would be no " Cher". He was the brains behind Sonny and Cher. He wrote their hit songs. " I Got You Babe". To name a few.
@teresafrazier3599 sonny made Cher and she always Said without sonny there be no Cher
life is very beautiful only from the outside This Christian life does not matter whether you are famous or not the end is very sad
