Cher Slams Famous 'A**hole' Director She Worked With: 'I Really, Really Disliked Him'

"He was a pig," she told The Times.
If she could turn back time, Cher might not have agreed to certain acting jobs.
The legendary songstress, whose acting earned her an Oscar for “Moonstruck” (1987), spoke candidly in an interview Friday about her onscreen career — and named the two filmmakers she liked working with the least.
“There are only two directors I didn’t like: Peter Bogdanovich and the guy from The Muppets,” Cher told The Times.
She was referring to iconic puppeteer Frank Oz, who was set to direct her in 1990’s film “Mermaids,” before Richard Benjamin took over.
“I actually got the guy from The Muppets fired,” she continued about their creative differences. “I said, either you’re going or I’m going, which is a shame because he’s a really good director, but he had a thing about me. He would go, ‘At least my wife loves me!’”
