Cher says mom Georgia divorced fourth husband over his desire for THREESOMES in the bedroom

Cher revealed a bombshell about her mother’s life in her memoir Cher: The Memoir, Part One.

Georgia Holt, who died in 2022 at the age of 96, left her fourth husband Joseph Harper Collins because he was ‘too wild in the bedroom’.

Cher, 78, recalled that her mother met the real estate mogul at a party in the summer of 1957 and became engaged shortly afterwards.

Cher was nine at the time, and after her mother and Collins got married, she and her sister Georganne moved to their new stepfather’s house in Beverly Hills.

“All the stress left her life because she didn’t have to worry about money, work or food on the table,” she said. “Once we moved in with Joe, she became a completely different person, happy and carefree.”

However, marital bliss didn’t last long because “Joe went too far in the other direction for my mother,” Cher wrote. “He was a party animal who liked to drink and was too wild in the bedroom.”

Cher wrote that Collins “wanted to be more sexually experimental and involve other women,” but that was something her “naïve” mother “couldn’t face.”

“You know I love you, Joe, but I can’t,” the singers said her mother told Collins at the time.

“They tried to work it out for a long time because neither Joe nor my mother wanted to face the end of their marriage, but the fantasy was over,” Cher wrote, revealing that the marriage lasted less than a year.

But there was no bad blood between her mother, Collins or Cher and her sister.

As part of the divorce settlement, he paid the rent on a house where the three women could live for six months, giving Georgia time to get back on her feet.

“Joe was a class act,” Cher wrote with affection.

Georgia remarried and over the course of her life she married seven times to six different men.

The I’ve Got You Babe singer also opened up about her marriage to Sonny Bono in her album and revealed that he blamed her for his cheating.

Their marriage turned sour after he blamed her for refusing to have sex with him whenever he wanted, she claims in her new memoir.

She was recovering from her third miscarriage when she discovered he was sleeping and he told her, “I wouldn’t have to look outside our marriage if I was sexually satisfied,” she claims.

The legendary singer also describes her ex-husband as controlling and “Machiavellian.”

Bono went so far as to ban her from seeing her friends, leaving the house only to go shopping and even wearing perfume because the singer-turned-politician didn’t like the smell.

“There was something about him that I could never understand, something that took him from a wonderfully funny guy to someone who would take everything from me,” Cher reflected in her book.

“For years I’ve been racking my brains over how he could do what he did, and to this day I still can’t get over it.”

She was only 16 when she met Sonny in 1962 at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. He was 27 and she wrote that she looked up to him in those early days, even though he said when he met her that he was not attracted to her.

As their relationship progressed, he made her stop her hobbies and passions, such as going out, dancing and playing softball with her family and friends, leaving her “devastated.” His explanation for this was that she “didn’t have time to mess around with games.”
