Cher is usually one of the busier celebrities on Twitter, but she was noticeably quiet last week. On Friday, she returned after taking a few days away from the social media network, revealing that she had some “personal problems.” Fans were instantly worried about her, and she responded to the concerns by pointing out all the other important issues in the world.
The “Believe” singer was silent on Twitter from March 6 until Friday. “Sorry I’ve Been MIA,” Cher wrote. “Been having Personal Problems.” One fan asked if she was ok, and Cher admitted she was not.

“We all [cry], but sometimes we [cry] a different kind of tears,” Cher wrote. “Tears that hurt. We become overwhelmed, reach a limit… Then are forced [to] push that limit. I’ve been alive since the year DOT [and] these [years] are the worst I’ve ever seen… Add family to that, & it’s recipe for disaster cake.”
Later that same day, she tweeted she was doing better. “Sometimes I reach what I think is my limit, then realize I’ve got miles more ‘limit’ in me,” she wrote in all capital letters as she often does. “Sometimes I get on, what I ‘think’ is my last nerve, then find lots more ‘last nerves’ to get on. Sometimes I need [to] regroup, reboot, give ‘me’ a time out, then say FK this. I won’t stop.”
‘You okay gal?’
After a few more comments on world events on Saturday, Cher, 75, responded to all the press attention her Friday tweets received. She did not sound happy about it, considering other important issues that should be attracting attention. “OK, other day I said, ‘Sorry 4 MIA, was having personal problems,’” she wrote. “So now I’m expected [to] give explanation [to a] newspaper. WTF is wrong with us? Am I supposed [to] [be] perfect always? Just COVID, fear of Trump’s [love] [for] Putin, capital, seeing war [and] [people] dying on TV, some rough days [for] mom, etc. FK them.” Scroll on to see how fans responded to Cher’s tweets.
‘You are human… with a huge heart!’
“Cher, whatever is going on, here’s a hope that things will improve soon,” one fan tweeted.
‘Just take care of you’
“Wishing you well and sending you so much love! You generate so much energy, Cher…. Pulling back to recharge and deal is a necessity!I hope there are only clear skies above you,” voice actor Charlie Adler tweeted.
‘Stay tough lady’
“Stay tough lady. All we can do is one day at a time,” one fan wrote. “Some days are overwhelming, some days are cloudy, some days are sunny. One day at a time. Your Twitter Fam has your back Ladybug, let us know what we can do.”
‘Cher, no apologies necessary, ever’
“Be good to yourself,” a fan suggested. “The world is in absolute chaos and an empath, like yourself, is bound to feel the overflow. I hope everything gets sorted for you quickly. You are loved and you are wonderful.”
‘Stay strong!’
“Stay strong! I just rewatched Moonstruck the other day and was struck once again with how absolutely beautiful you are in every scene, what a lovely, authentic performance you give in it. It was good medicine for me after a terrible week,” one fan wrote.
