Cher disclosed multiple bombshells in her newly released book, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, including her admission that she contemplated jumping off a Las Vegas hotel balcony while she was “trapped” in a “loveless marriage” to Sonny Bono. After surviving that experience and divorcing Bono in 1975, Cher was there to provide marital advice to Tina Turner about her abusive husband, Ike Turner. Tina appeared with Ike on The Sonny & Cher Show twice, even requesting makeup to hide the bruise on her arm during one occasion. Cher recalls that Tina asked her how she was able to leave Sonny, hoping to take her advice and eventually leave Ike. “I looked at her and told her, ‘I just walked out and kept on going,'” Cher wrote in her memoir. While watching Ike and Tina rehearse, Cher observed that Ike “didn’t smile one time” and played the guitar “without any emotion.” “I just knew whatever he was feeling wasn’t good,” she writes.
