Cher Upset With Designer Bob Mackie, Shares Emotional Messages On Twitter
From the archive: published Mar 14, 2014, 12 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Cher has a broken heart, and she wants the world to know all about it.
Before he helped Miley Cyrus put together some outfits for her Bangerz Tour, fashion designer Bob Mackie was helping Cher turn heads with her unique brand of outrageous costumes. The singer has worked with the guy for over 40 years, which explains why she’s so broken-hearted at the moment.
According to E! Online, Cher was more than a little shocked to learn that Mackie wouldn’t help the Moonstruck star put together a few dresses for her shows. This effectively ended 42 years worth of collaborations, something the singer didn’t take lightly.
Instead of keeping all of these tender emotions locked away, Cher decided to funnel all of them directly onto Twitter. Check out the tweets below if you’re curious to read her thoughts on the subject. Those who can’t stand it when folks write in all caps should definitely look away.

Why did Bob Mackie decide to turn his back on Cher? The designer hasn’t officially addressed the situation as of this writing. According to The Star-Ledger, it may have something to do with the amount of time and effort it takes to create a suitable outfit for Cher.
“It’s not like dressing a regular person — it’s like dressing a crazy goddess. Sometimes she’s an Egyptian goddess and sometimes she’s a biker chic goddess,” he previously explained.
As for those other obligations, Mackie recently helped Miley put together some outfits for her insanely controversial Bangerz Tour. When you’re dressing so many famous bodies, sometimes you have to tell a few people “no.”
What do you think about Cher ending her professional relationship with Bob Mackie? Are you sad the designer is no longer dressing the singer?
