Cher has unveiled many shocking stories in her memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part One. We've previously touched on the time Phil Spector harrowingly pulled a gun on Cher ten years before he killed Lana Clarkson. But he also asked her for sex when she was merely 15 years old.

"He might have been a demigod to many, but he acted weird, and I didn't like how he stared at me," she wrote of Spector. It would turn out her suspicion of the man were more than validated.
When her boyfriend at the time connected Cher to Spector, he invited her to visit him in his hotel room. Again, she was 15 at the time.
Disgustingly, Cher writes of their first meeting. He looked her "up and down" before asking her a question in French.
"'Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?' he said, smirking, asking me to sleep with him," Cher penned. What makes this worse is that he apparently didn't think she'd understand him.
Although Cher being Cher, she had a comeback, "Without breaking a sweat, I gave him a look back and replied, "Oui, pour l'argent." This translates to 'yes, for money.'
He wasn't expecting her understanding, let alone a quip in the same language.
"You could have knocked him over with a feather. He didn't think I'd understand the question, let alone have an answer." You've really got to wonder what the plan was on Spector's behalf. It takes a pretty warped mind to ask someone you've just met that, let alone a child.
But it wasn't the only awful thing Spector did to Cher.
Phil Spector Would Later Pull A Gun On Cher
Phil Spector, years after this, illegally put out a single involving Cher and Harry Nilsson under his record. This was a problem as both artists were under different other records.
When Cher confronted him about the backstabbing, he pulled a revolver on her.
"He became agitated and got kind of smart with me," she said of his reaction after confronting him. "A little too smart like he was trying to intimidate me."
"He told me he could do whatever he wanted."
When he "picked up a revolver" and pointed it at her, however, she didn't back down.
"Don't f-k with me, Phillip!" she yelled at him. She verbally slaughtered the man with a gun that would go on to kill ten years later. The same man who asked for her sex at 15 years old. Spector really was something.
