Watch: Cher Lets Fly in Funny F-Bomb Flub
Superstar singer Cher appeared live on "Today," where she let loose with an un-bleeped F-bomb at host Hoda Kotb's unwitting invitation.
Cher was on the show's Nov. 19 edition to talk "about the first volume of her two-part memoir 'Cher: The Memoir,' which features intimate tales about, among other things, her career and tumultuous relationship with Sonny Bono," Entertainment Weekly reported.
"While relaying advice she received from comedian Lucille Ball amid her troubles with Bono, Cher dropped an uncensored F-bomb, flustering Kotb," EW added.
In the interview, Cher related that she felt Bono "just didn't care about me," and claimed that he "took it all," meaning her share of the money they made together.
Kotb asked Cher what the iconic comedian and star of "I Love Lucy" had had to offer in terms of advice. When the "Believe" singer warned Kotb "I can't say it on TV," the host reassured her, "We'll bleep it."
But they didn't.
Ball's advice, Cher told Kotb, was, "Fuck him. You're the one with the talent."
The EW article noted that, like Cher, Ball divorced her husband and showbiz partner, Desi Arnaz.
"After I left Sonny," Cher explained prior to the snafu, "I started to kind of grow. But I was, like... I was 27, but I was 16, so I was making mistakes in public constantly."
"Do you care when you make mistakes in public?" Kotb asked.
"Well, I think I used to," Cher reflected, "but I just don't think I do anymore. I'm, like, 'What are they gonna do to me now?'" the 78-year-old singer added, referencing her age.
In keeping with the philosophy, the two laughed off the flub, with Kotb saying, "We will get it [the bleep] in for the next feed."
Cher pointed out, "You said I could."
"I should've bleeped it myself," Kotb said, before adding a belated, "Bleep."
