Cher Lawsuit

June 8th, 2009 by Hannah

Cher is suing Universal Music Group for not paying her and her late ex-husband Sonny Bono the amount rightly earned in royalties. The iconic singer is after $5 million. In the lawsuit, Cher claims that after careful review of the company’s accounting, UMG execs “engaged in wrongful” tactics in order to hide revenue from two hit compilation albums. The complaint states “Instead of reporting to and paying plaintiffs their share of the revenues generated by Warner UK, UMG Recordings, in an egregious example of self-dealing, apparently inserted Universal International as a middleman in the transaction … for the sole purpose of diverting money that rightfully belonged to Plaitinffs to Universal International.”
