Steely Dan's Aja is directly responsible for the huge proliferation of smooth jazz that came in its wake.

This is her latest lawsuit involving racism.

Cher 'sued by choreographer claiming racial discrimination' after working on her Dressed To Kill tour
By MAILONLINE REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 10:46 EST, 18 September 2014 | UPDATED: 15:18 EST, 18 September 2014

Cher is allegedly being sued by a choreographer who is claiming racial discrimination.

TMZ reports that Kevin Wilson’s attorney has filed a lawsuit against the singer, alleging that she told him there were too many black dancers on her tour.
Wilson claims he said to Cher that there was a ‘minority female dancer’ who he wanted to cast during auditions for her Dressed To Kill tour.





He alleges the 68-year-old replied: ‘We have too much color on stage.’

Wilson goes on to allege in the lawsuit obtained by TMZ that he was told to ‘not cast anymore dark skinned black dancers on the tour’ and instead find someone white and blonde.


The choreographer additionally claims that he was fired alongside two other people for speaking out about a male dancer who allegedly became sexually aggressive with a female fan following a concert in Louisville in June.

Wilson alleges that the dancer in question remained in the tour. He is claiming racial discrimination and retaliation in the lawsuit.

The choreographer states the three people who were fired were told it was due to budget cuts, but TMZ reports that the tour has grossed an impressive $54.9million.


Cher's representative told MailOnline: 'These accusations are ridiculous... Couldn’t be further from the truth.'

The website reports that Cher’s lawyer states the alleged racial comment is ‘untrue and categorically denied. To attribute such a statement to Cher is absurd.’

Cher finished the first leg of her tour in July, and will start the second leg next month, which begins in Toronto, Canada and then travels through the United States, finishing in New York City in December.






I was pretty upset when I found out about her diva attitude and cultural insensitive behavior because she was one of my idol's growing up. My mother use to ware her "Believe" album out when I was growing up lol.

She has also said some nasty things about MJ and comes across as a major &^%$#. She has been in the business forever and is a legend. However, that does not give her the right to treat people like this. She thinks she can say whatever she wants because of who she is.

This is not acceptable.

I like him because he is intelligent and I like his style. He seems really sweet. He is unique and doesn't follow trends. He has undeniable swag and confidence about who he is. I have heard multiple people call him sexy and of course a modern genius (which he is)

Not seeing how that makes her racist.
If she was racist she wouldn't have any black dancers at all.

This is not necessarily true.

We work with racist people everyday.

Racist people hire African Americans everyday.

We go to school with racist people everyday.


She has had multiple racial discrimination lawsuits made against her and in cases where the other party has won.

I have also heard her make some insensitive racial remarks in the past.

He was fine with it until he was fired.
Just looks like a guy looking for a bumper payday to me.
