Cher reveals she was invited by Salvador Dalí to his home right after an orgy

At 78, singer Cher published the first part of her memoirs. The opportunity to return to a multitude of more or less striking anecdotes that the interpreter of Believe lived throughout his life. And among them, that of his completely surreal meeting with the Spanish painter Salvador Dalí.

During a stay at the St. Regis Hotel in New York, the singer and her husband at the time, Sonny Bono, crossed paths with the painter and his wife, Gala. After getting along, the couple invites them to spend an evening in their suite. An experience that Cher describes as “walking into a bad Fellini film.”

Indeed, according to her words, everyone present at that evening “was either beautiful or weird and absolutely all looked like they were high,” she wrote in her memoirs. A first impression which nevertheless did not prevent her from responding favorably to a dinner invitation from the painter for the following evening.

“Inside I was screaming”

But when she arrives at the painter's studio the next day, the singer realizes that she is walking into an orgy. She remembers arriving in a “large room where people are naked or in various states of nudity”. “A girl without a bra went out with a transparent blouse”, identical to cellophane according to her.

As she tries to appear indifferent to the already surreal scene, she comes across a “magnificent painted rubber fish.” Although she immediately thought of a children's toy, the painter confirmed to her that it was in fact a vibrating sex toy. A toy that she immediately dropped. “Inside, I was screaming,” she wrote, while specifying that she kept her composure the same day. A meeting she will never forget.
