Being Compared to Michael Jackson
In a Primetime interview, Cher drew a line in the sand about public perception with ABC News’ Cynthia McFadden. “If I had as much plastic surgery as they—you know, like I’ve got ass implants and calf implants and cheek implants—I mean, when I got my nose and my teeth done, I said it because it didn’t occur to me that that would be anything that anybody would even care about. No cheek implants, no—I mean, I’ve had the same cheeks my entire life.”
“No ribs removed?” inquired McFadden.
“I’ve never even thought about having any ribs taken out,” replied Cher. When McFadden made an comparison to Michael Jackson, asking the star if she thinks might have gone too far, Cher responded, “No, I don’t. If I want to put my tits on my back, it’s nobody’s business but my own.”
