janetDAYZ Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Cher 'sued by choreographer claiming racial discrimination' after working on her Dressed To Kill tour 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. Scroll down for video 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. 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.' What really happened?: Wilson apparently was told he was fired due to budget cuts, but he claims it was because he spoke out about a male dancer who was allegedly sexually aggressive towards a fan +5 What really happened?: Wilson apparently was told he was fired due to budget cuts, but he claims it was because he spoke out about a male dancer who was allegedly sexually aggressive towards a fan Cher looks ageless on her recent Dressed to Kill tour 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.

EphraimAdamz Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well she's white and old. I wouldn't be surprised. That's the era they lived. Although this treads a blurry line between art/image and discrimination. There are times where I shoot music videos and don't want to use white people.
