Does the Cher's profile on Twitter Was it hacked? This doubt arose among users who followed a, to say the least, controversial demonstration originating from the diva's account, regarding pastor Joel Osteen (in the photo, on the right.) after purchasing his latest book.
"I love Joel Osteen, he's an example of a Christian! He makes everyone feel welcome at his church, no matter who they are. It's the first book like that I've bought," the singer reportedly tweeted, in mixed English. abbreviations.
Later, Cher continues and says that although it sounds crazy to be a compliment from her, Joel Osteen is cool, fun and not boring. Everything would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that Osteen was not well-regarded by gays in the United States, either for saying that homosexuality is a sin, or for sayings like "I don't believe that homosexuality is God's best for the lives of A person".
Exactly for this reason, when a user replied that the pastor was "not cool" when it came to gays, Cher seemed disturbed and replied that she wasn't like that, as her entire life had proven.
"Christians have had a hard time, but we can help change that," Chaz Bono's mother tweeted. Then, she gave examples of how things have changed over the years, from the time when it was illegal to be gay to the current moment, when Chaz, who is a trans man, was able to come out. That's when some users began to suspect whether the diva's account had been hacked.
Cher's last post, on Monday, stated that she was "heartbroken" because she had lost one of her (gay) fans and if they no longer loved her, it would be her last post, implying that would leave the Twitter. This caused some fans to start the hashtag #PleaseDontLeaveCher on the microblog.
The posts, however, returned today and, among comments about Lady Gaga's songs, there was new praise for Osteen, who, according to her, in a talkshow, said that you don't have to be a Christian to go to paradise, he never said anything about gays and he only speaks positively to everyone. Cher, or whoever is using the account, also questions how people could have believed she would betray her fans. However, as more posts have emerged, the likelihood of hacking seems more distant.
The singer's reference could be to Oprah Winfrey's new show, Oprah's Next Chapter, in which Osteen said that, for him, according to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin, but that despite this, gays will be accepted in paradise, as it is no different from any other "offense".
So, how are we?
