Cher sues Sonny Bono's widow for breach of contract, claims she's not getting paid royalties
Fox News
Cher filed a lawsuit against Mary Bono in Los Angeles on Wednesday, claiming Sonny Bono's fourth wife and widow is illegally withholding her royalties from Sonny & Cher's megahits in the '60s.
The documents cite a "1978 marriage settlement agreement" Sonny and Cher entered into after their split. Cher claims the exes "agreed to equal division of their community property."
"When they divorced, Plaintiff and Sonny agreed to an equal division of their community property and, to that end, in 1978 Sonny irrevocably assigned to Plaintiff, as her sole and separate property throughout the world and in perpetuity, fifty percent of their rights in musical composition royalties, record royalties, and other assets," the filing states.
