👀 DIANA ROSS, CHER & WHO? WAIT... MISS ROSS, DID YOU ALLEGEDLY BACKDOOR CHER?!

730 BOOM RADIO | Celebrity News

Baby, some celebrity tea doesn't expire. It just sits in the cabinet getting STRONGER.

Because today we're going back to a love triangle involving Diana Ross, Cher and Gene Simmons of KISS, and I have questions. Lots of questions.

First of all, I love me some Diana Ross. That's a SHERO. The Supremes. The gowns. The hair. The entrance. Miss Ross has never simply walked onto a stage. She arrives.

And CHER?!

Please.

Cher has been showing up dressed like the invitation said “wear whatever the hell you want and make everybody else look underdressed.” Those Bob Mackie outfits? Feathers, sequins, stomach OUT. Half the time Cher looked like a glamorous Cherokee disco goddess had landed from another planet.

So how did these two fabulous women allegedly fall out over...

GENE SIMMONS?!

Sir, please come to the front. 😭

Gene was apparently having one HELL of a 1970s.

According to Simmons' own retelling, he and Cher were together in the late 1970s. Cher described their relationship at the time as one of the best she'd had, and Simmons has repeatedly spoken highly of her.

Then Christmas came around.

Gene supposedly didn't know what to buy Cher because, well, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU BUY CHER?

Another wig?

A rhinestone cannon?

A 14-foot feather?

So Cher reportedly told Gene to contact her best friend Diana Ross, because Diana knew what Cher liked and could help him pick out a Christmas present.

That sounds perfectly innocent.

UNTIL IT WASN'T.

According to Gene, he went to see Diana, she gave him some chocolate cake, they started spending time together and feelings developed FAST. Simmons later dated Ross for roughly two years.

WAIT.

DIANA!!!!

MA'AM!!!

Cher sent her man to you to help him BUY HER A CHRISTMAS PRESENT...

and somehow the present turned into YOU GETTING THE MAN?!

😭😭😭😭

🔴 LADY RED'S TAKE: MISS ROSS, WE NEED TO TALK

Now Diana, you KNOW I love you.

But SHERO...

DID YOU BACKDOOR CHER?!

😂😂😂

Because that's nasty work.

Imagine calling your girlfriend:

“Girl, my man is coming over. Help him pick out something for me.”

Then two weeks later:

“Girl, did y'all find my Christmas present?”

Diana:

👁️👄👁️

“Wellllll...”

MA'AM!

And Gene's version has varied a little over the years. He has said the attraction happened quickly, but he has also described Cher as remaining friendly with them for a time. Other retellings say the romance damaged or ended Cher and Diana's friendship. So I'm NOT declaring we know every private conversation between these women 45 years later.

But Gene definitely says Cher sent him to Diana, and Gene ended up with Diana.

That's enough for Lady Red to issue a friendship citation.

🚨 BACKDOOR BESTIE BEHAVIOR UNDER INVESTIGATION. 🚨

And Gene, don't sit over there grinning!

Because HE was Cher's boyfriend.

Everybody wants to ask what Diana did to Cher.

WHAT DID GENE DO TO CHER?!

Your legs didn't accidentally walk into Diana Ross's relationship.

That chocolate cake wasn't enchanted.

You were a grown-ass man. 😂

🎵 AND WAIT... WAS MICHAEL JACKSON TALKING ABOUT HER IN “DIRTY DIANA”?!

Now don't y'all start doing my shero dirty!

Because once you hear THIS story, somebody inevitably goes:

“SEE! THAT'S WHO MICHAEL WAS TALKING ABOUT!”

😂😂😂

NO.

Michael Jackson explained that “Dirty Diana” wasn't about Diana Ross. He described “Diana” as a fictionalized groupie-type character based on women who hung around musicians and concerts. Quincy Jones also described the song as being about groupies.

So leave Miss Ross alone on THAT charge.

CASE DISMISSED. 😂

Hell, Diana Ross reportedly even used “Dirty Diana” as entrance music at some of her own concerts.

Now THAT is Diana Ross behavior.

“Y'all think it's about me? TURN IT UP WHILE I WALK OUT.”

😭😂

🔴 LADY RED'S FINAL TAKE

I love BOTH these women.

Diana Ross is a legend.

Cher is a legend.

And looking back at their careers, the funniest part is realizing these two spectacular women were allegedly tangled up over GENE FREAKIN' SIMMONS.

No disrespect to Gene...

but baby...

DIANA AND CHER?!

These women could've walked into a room and had everybody from the bartender to the damn MAYOR volunteering.

And y'all got friendship drama over the man from KISS with the tongue?!

👅😭😭😭

But if Gene's account is accurate, I gotta call it fair:

Miss Ross... taking your friend's man after she personally sent him to you for help buying HER Christmas present?

Baby, that's not a side door.

That's not even a back door.

YOU CAME THROUGH THE CHIMNEY WITH SANTA CLAUS.

🎅🏾😭😂

And poor Cher probably sitting there Christmas morning wondering:

“WHERE THE HELL IS MY PRESENT... AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY MAN?!”

💀💀💀
