Following the rumors, Cher opened up about the alleged affair.
The singer said: “He was a great guy. He was handsome. He was my mother’s best friend. This guy was a 10. He looked like Tom Selleck, but blond. Six feet. He drove the women crazy. He loved them. He left them.”
She explained that the affair started after he was painting a staircase in her house and he allegedly “kissed” her.
Two weeks later, Cher explained that he returned to their house and sat on her bed while she was asleep.

Cher claimed that she “was with him for a year” and that she “wanted to be close with him”.
The singer continued: “The idea of sleeping with him passionately, that way I was passionate about sleeping with Rob (Camilletti) was absolutely non-existent for me. With this man I would have really enjoyed kissing him , just as much as having sex.” I don’t think you know what good sex is when you’re fourteen and a half.”

Cher called it a “vastly overrated experience” and wrote, “I asked him, ‘Is that it? Are we done?’ Then I told him to go home and never come back. I wanted him to feel as rejected as he made me feel.”
