Cher has shared a painful memory from her teenage years in her new memoir, speaking about it now with a calm mindset than before.

The music legend writes that the incident happened when she was just 17 years old and still very young in life.

At that time, she was in a relationship with Sonny Bono, whom she got married later in October 27, 1964.

On this one very quiet evening, while Sonny was busy working and was away, Cher stayed over at friend’s apartment.

The night stay at her old pal’s house became very scary for her that it left her shaken and with a deep impact on her life which she never talked about before.

In her book, Cher explained that she woke up feeling unsafe and confused while she quickly ran to her friend for help.

“A few hours later I was aware of somebody lying next to me with their hand in my underpants. Half-asleep, I thought I was home and then suddenly remembered that I wasn’t.

It was dark and all I could see was the outline of a man. Frozen, I lay there, my heart racing, until he moved slightly away.”

Her friend reacted right away and made sure that Cher was protected. The fear, however, from that night stayed with her long after it was over.

The I Got You Babe singer also talked about why she never told Sonny about what happened back then, writing: “It took me the rest of the night to calm down and I didn’t dare breathe a word to Sonny for fear he’d murder the guy.”

The music icon shared that writing her memoir gave her the strength to finally speak about things she which kept quiet for many years.

Cher also got real about how young she was at that time when this terrifying incident happened and how difficult it was to talk about.

Police are conducting an immediate search for a teenage suspect following a double stabbing at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London, this afternoon.

The victims are identified as 12-year-old and 13-year-old boys. The Metropolitan Police were called to the school on Bacon Lane around 12:40 p.m.

The London Ambulance Service treated both victims at the scene, which dispatched multiple crews, incident response officers, and a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance.

One victim is taken to a major trauma centre on a priority basis, while the other has been transported to the hospital.

There’s no current update on their health till now.

The police team led by Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams stated: “We recognise that this incident will cause considerable concern within the community.”

He asserted “significant resources” have been deployed to locate the suspect, described only as a teenage boy.

The school officials affirmed a “serious incident” has occurred and that the situation was “now under control.”

The school’s territory is locked down with no one permitted to enter or leave the site while the police investigation continues.

The school’s authorities have spoken to the parents of the affected students directly.

Till now, the motive of the attack has not been identified. 

Bethenny Frankel defended Bad Bunny after her former Real Housewives of New York City costar Jill Zarin slammed his Super Bowl LX halftime performance.

Frankel took to TikTok to post a video February 9, to praise the Puerto Rican rapper’s set as authentic and inspirational.

“Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican man in America on the largest stage in the world, which is very inspirational to people because that is him expressing his experience in his first language,” she explained.

Frankel compared his artistry to country and hip hop performers, saying each genre reflects its own culture and struggles.

“If it’s a country artist, they are expressing their experience and their music and their culture. If it’s a hip hop artist — I love Notorious B.I.G. and talking about his come up and what he couldn’t afford when he was eating Sardines for dinner.”

She summed it up with a nod to Madonna, “Express yourself.”

Zarin had a very different reaction to the enthralling and star-studded performance at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

In a now deleted video, she called the halftime show “the worst ever” and criticized Bad Bunny for performing in Spanish and for his onstage gestures.

“You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds because he’s so insecure,” she said, adding that she wished she understood the lyrics since she doesn’t speak Spanish.

The 62-year-old’s comments quickly circulated online sparking backlash.
