Cher is being sued for allegedly complaining she had too many black dancers.
Choreographer Kevin Wilson has filed legal documents against the 'Believe' hitmaker for racial discrimination and retaliation, and in his claim he states the 68-year-old singer told him to find a white, blonde dancer while auditioning for hopefuls for her 2014 'Dressed to Kill' tour after he said he liked a "minority female dancer".
According to Kevin, Cher said: "We have too much colour onstage" and instructed him "not to cast anymore dark skinned black dancers on the tour."
According to the lawsuit documents obtained by TMZ, a male dancer invited a female fan to his hotel room after a show in June and got "sexually aggressive" with her, an incident Kevin claims Cher tried to cover up.
The choreographer alleges he and two other whistle-blowers were fired, while the dancer was kept in the show, but they were told they were being dismissed due to "budget cuts", despite the tour grossing a reported $54.9 million.
A spokesperson for the singer branded the allegations "ridiculous" and any suggestions Cher said anything racist is "absurd".
They said: "These are ridiculous allegations. They couldn't be further from the truth."
Her lawyer said of her alleged racist statements: "[These are] untrue and categorically denied. To attribute such a statement to Cher is absurd."

Joan Rivers left a big part of her $150 million fortune to her dogs.
The 81-year-old comic - who died earlier this month after suffering a cardiac arrest while undergoing throat surgery - wanted her four rescue animals to continue to lead lives of luxury when she passed away and so her will asked for her assets to be given to her daughter Melissa, grandson Cooper and her beloved pets.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "Those dogs are her family. They meant the world to her and Joan wanted to make sure that if anything happened to her that they would be taken care of."
However, the pampered pooches will no longer live in her $35 million New York apartment but will move in with Joan's longtime assistant Jocelyn Pickett.
Melissa is planning to sell her mother's penthouse apartment, as well as another in the same block which Joan bought for her daughter and grandson to live in while in the city, because she finds it too "painful" being in New York.
The source said: "Melissa is based in L.A. and has no need for a place in New York any more. It's also too painful; Joan loved the city so much.
"Melissa is a West Coast girl and Cooper is in school in L.A., while her mom was East Coast-based. Additionally, Melissa is planning to sell Joan's amazing home in Connecticut."
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Joan had been working on a new show, 'Ask Joan', with Andy Cohen and his Most Talkative production company before she died.
A source said: "Joan loved Andy, she loved his talent. "She thought he was a producing genius and was excited that he was going to produce a new show where Joan would answer questions. Andy has a deep relationship with NBC, which is now run by Ted Harbert, who loved Joan. It was all positive stuff happening."

Iggy Azalea has had a "hell of a week" but her fans' love has pulled her through.
The 'Fancy' hitmaker's ex-boyfriend and former manager Hefe Wine is said to be in possession of a sex tape featuring the pair from when they dated and he has been offered a seven-figure sum to sell the footage to porn manufacturer Vivid Entertainment.
Iggy - who has denied the tape even exists - made reference to the problem during her sell-out concert at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on Wednesday night (17.09.14), telling the crowd: "I've had a hell of a week."
But the 24-year-old rapper insisted the love and energy she was feeling from her British fans was making the drama in her life melt away.
She added: "Sometimes I think you can have the most awful, terrible week, but, for me, coming here and seeing your faces makes me realise I still have the best life."
Iggy treated her loyal followers with a set packed with hits, including
'Change Your Life', 'Work' and a sexually charged performance of 'Bounce', during which she was joined by four leotard-clad dancers.
She also spat rhymes from 'Problem' - her duet with Ariana Grande - and 'Fancy', her collaboration with Charli XCX.
The highlight of the show was when Iggy was joined on stage by Rita Ora for a rendition of their new single 'Black Widow'.
Iggy bizarrely hid under a white blanket with a grimacing face drawn on it and her name written on it.

Jenny McCarthy's son gave a "beautiful, spontaneous toast" at her wedding.
The 41-year-old beauty was walked down the aisle by 12-year-old Evan - her child with ex-husband John Mallory Asher - when she married Donnie Wahlberg on August 31 but she wasn't prepared for him taking on extra duties in his "important" role.
She said: "He came up to me and said, 'I have the most important job at the wedding, and I said 'You do,' and then the time came where he walked in the door in his little tuxedo.
"Donnie helped him get dressed, and then he met me and said, 'You ready?' He put out his little arm, and we walked down the aisle, and the officiator said, 'Who's giving away this girl?' And he raised his arm, 'I am.' "
"[At the reception, he made a] beautiful, spontaneous toast. He grabbed the microphone and said, 'Can I say a few words?'
"He was like, 'I love my stepdad, I'm so glad for my mom, we're going to make a great family.' And it was really beautiful."
Jenny admitted she hadn't fully realised how important it was for Evan - who suffers from Autism - to have a father figure in their home.
She added to People magazine: "I knew who I was marrying, but what was surprising to me was how much Evan appreciated it and loved it so much, and I could tell that he had a comfort level of safety now in the house.
"I didn't realise, as a little boy growing up with just a mom, there's some fear associated with a little boy feeling like he has to guard the house at a very young age, and I think Donnie coming in, he had a sense of security that he'd never seen before."

Jackie Chan's son has been formally arrested on drugs charges.
Jaycee Chan, 32, was detained last month on suspicion of possessing cannabis and official state media has now confirmed Beijing court prosecutors took the allegation further yesterday (17.09.14) and approved his arrest, the next step in the legal process as police need official administrative permission to detain subjects.
Officers claim the actor was found with over 100g of marijuana, which could see him indicted for drug dealing.
Jaycee - who was arrested along with his friend Kai Ko - could face a jail sentence of up to three years if found guilty.
Following his son's arrest, 'Rush Hour' actor Jackie admitted he felt "angry, shocked and ashamed".
He blogged: "Regarding this issue with my son Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked. As a public figure, I'm very ashamed. As a father, I'm heartbroken
"Jaycee and I together express our deep apology to society and the public.
"I hope all young people will learn a lesson from Jaycee and stay far from the harm of drugs.
"I say to Jaycee that you have to accept the consequences when you do something wrong. As your father, I'm going to face the road together with you."

Paris Hilton's dog has posed for his first ever photoshoot.
The 33-year-old beauty splashed out $13,000 on her pet pooch earlier this month and she has wasted no time in putting her four-legged friend into the spotlight by taking him in front of the camera, and she insists the canine is the "perfect model".
Paris took to her Instagram account to post a video of herself holding Prince while they were being pictured at a photoshoot and attached the message: "On set of prince_hilton_the_pom for his very first photoshoot. He is the perfect model! (sic)"
But it wasn't just professional pictures being taken of Prince as she also shared several selfies of the pair being affectionate with one another.
In a message attached to one picture, she wrote: "On set with my baby love prince_hilton_the_pom. @ Quixote Studios (sic)"
One image showed the crafty canine giving Paris a big sloppy kiss on her make-up covered chin.
She captioned the picture: "Love kisses from my sweet lil angel prince_hilton_the_pom. @ Quixote Studios (sic)"
Since forking out on the huge sum for her "micro" mutt from Betty's Teacup Yorkies in Calgary, Canada - where he was flown over from - earlier this month, Paris has created both Twitter and Tumblr accounts for her adorable new pet.
The heiress has also splashed out on several pricey treats for the diminutive dog - who is only 2.5 inches tall - to make sure he feels important including a champagne bottle chew toy and a fluffy "Chewy Vuitton" purse, in a nod to French fashion house.
Paris' Pomeranian pooch was previously named Mr. Amazing but she changed his moniker to Prince Hilton earlier this week.

Britain's Prince Harry has reunited with his former girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
The pair recently went on a cinema date to see comedy film 'Sex Tape', and following the successful trip to the movies they are thought to have rekindled their romance five months after the 25-year-old beauty ended their relationship.
A royal source told The Sun newspaper: "It's early days but Harry's over the moon. He realises she's the one for him."
The pair went on a date at a cinema on Kensington High Street, west London - and they made an effort to keep their night out as low-key as possible.
An onlooker explained: "They tried hard to blend in. None of the other cinemagoers seemed to realise."
Following the romantic evening, the 30-year-old royal got into a car with his bodyguard, while Cressida hailed a cab that sped off in the direction of Kensington Palace.
Speculation surrounding their relationship increased following Cressida's appearance at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games - which Harry helped organise - at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, on Sunday (14.09.14), where she was seen laughing and joking with friends.
The blonde flew into the UK from a wedding in Italy to attend the event a day before Harry celebrated his 30th birthday on Monday (15.09.14).
Harry and Cressida were introduced to each other in May 2012 and later started dating before they split in April this year.

Nadine Coyle thinks it's "great" that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has got married.
The singer was thrilled when her former Girls Aloud bandmate tied the knot with French hunk Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in a shock ceremony in July and is delighted that Cheryl has found happiness.
During an interview on 'Good Morning Britain', she said: "It's great every time somebody gets married and you're all swept away in emotion, so I think it's great."
Although Cheryl - who was previously married to soccer player Ashley Cole - has walked down the aisle again, Nadine isn't sure if wedding bells are in her immediate future.
When quized about her own nuptials, the pop star - who is engaged to former NFL player Jason Bell - replied: "I don't know when, some point in life I'm sure I'll get married ... I have to get it all figured out."
Nadine and Jason have six-month-old daughter Anaiya together and the 29-year-old beauty says her baby is so well-behaved she is taking her on tour for Michael Flatley's Irish dance show 'Lord Of The Dance: Dangerous Games', in which she appears.
Nadine - who lives with her family in Los Angeles - revealed: "She'll be easy (on tour), she's great, she loves the company.
"She's great, she was up this morning on my knee trying to help with getting some make-up on ... and she's brilliant, I've never known somebody to love going through security at an airport, she gets so excited her arms and legs [wave around] she loves every second of it!"

Ben Cohen has split from his wife.
The former professional rugby player has announced that he and wife Abby have separated just days after reports emerged that he'd been spotted with his 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner from last years' series, Kristina Rihanoff.
A spokesperson for the couple said: "Ben and Abby Cohen have agreed to take time apart to deal with some marital issues but remain fully committed to the welfare of their children."
The couple - who met in 1995 and married in 2003 before having daughters Harriette and Isabelle - deny that Ben has been dating his former dance partner, however.
The spokesman continued: "There is no third party involved, and Ben and Abby now ask that their privacy and that of their family be respected at this difficult time."
Despite insisting that Ben and Kristina - who previously dated her former celebrity dance partner Joe Calzaghe - have not become involved romantically, the pair were seen getting close to one another on a London Underground train earlier this year and Ben previously confessed that Strictly had put a strain on his relationship.
He said at the time: "It can be a bit challenging sometimes but she [Abby] is a good girl and understands the spirit of the show."
News of Ben's split comes shortly after Rachel Riley and her Strictly partner Pasha Kovalev confirmed they were dating after she split from her husband during the 2013 competition.
'Good Morning Britain' presenter Susanna Reid also ended her 16-year marriage following her stint on the BBC One show.

Rylan Clark has reportedly got engaged.
The 'Big Brother's Bit On The Side' host is said to have been proposed to by his former 'Big Brother' contestant boyfriend Dan Neal while on a romantic trip to Paris, but the pair are keeping the news to themselves for the time being.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Rylan and Dan have always known marriage was on the cards.
"So being in the French capital, you might think Rylan saw it coming.
"However, it still took him completely by surprise. And there was never any question about what his answer would be.
"Rylan can't wait to marry Dan. They're just thrilled it's official and they can get started with the best part - planning!"
Former 'X Factor' contestant and 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner Rylan has previously spoken about what his perfect nuptials would entail and suggested it would be a traditional affair.
He said: "The wedding would be three days in the middle of nowhere, in a beautiful manor house."
He also insisted that he was keen to start a family, adding: "Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I can't settle down and have kids."
Rylan and Dan - who is a former police officer - met on 'Big Brother's Bit On The Side' after Dan appeared on 'Big Brother' in 2013.

'Coronation Street' star Ryan Thomas has split from his girlfriend.
The 30-year-old 'Coronation Street' star - who met Amy Jackson in 2010 as he judged the Miss England contest in which she was competing - has split from the brunette beauty, 23, following a series of arguments.
It is thought the couple had been rowing over their busy work schedules and their seven year age gap in the weeks before the break-up.
A source told The Sun newspaper:"Things suddenly started to go wrong between them in the past few weeks. It was to do with their busy work schedules - they hardly saw each other.
"Amy is also quite a bit younger then Ryan and maybe wasn't ready for a serious relationship."
The father of one - who plays Jason Grimshaw on the ITV soap - is said to have been left "heartbroken" following the split but is hoping to meet up with Amy to discuss the possibility of a reconciliation in the future.
The source said: "Ryan seemed really in love with her. Now he's heartbroken.
"It came to an end very quickly and they have been trying to arrange to meet up to discuss what went wrong.
"They've argued a lot but hopefully after their meeting things will be sorted out."
