David started reading the contract to me, and sure enough, I couldn’t even sign a check or withdraw any money without Sonny or Irwin’s signature. I was an employee of Cher Enterprises with no ownership, so I couldn’t access any of the money I earned for the company. Beyond that, I was signed to the company and could only work with Sonny’s permission. That meant not only did I have no money, I had no way to make any money unless Sonny signed off on it. David told me the devastating contract had been created when Sonny and I were still together—it wasn’t new.
