Demi, 61, paid tribute to longtime friend Cher, 78, at the event.

“I’m going to see if this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for,” she said as the crowd cheered.

“I’m just making sure you’re really with me. Because of this amazing woman I’m about to introduce.

“She’s a Grammy winner, an Oscar winner, an Emmy winner.”

Demi then paused, apparently angered by a disturbance in the crowd.

She turned to the corner of the room and asked, “Are you an Emmy winner in the back of the room? I don’t think so.”

The audience seemed surprised by the outburst, with some applause and applause.

“She is a style icon and my personal hair inspiration. And she was honored by amfAR for their inspiration award in 2015,” Demi continued.

“The bottom line is that she is one of the most talented, successful and best-loved artists of all time.”

“So please,” she said, pausing with a long look at the audience before continuing, “please welcome the incredible and unique Cher.”

It’s unclear whether Demi was joking with her comment to the public or if a guest said something to her.

“She said: I will treat you like a child until you learn to respect,” wrote a fan, commenting on the video of her speech shared on X, formerly Twitter.

“Iconic,” added another.

OLD FRIENDS

Demi has been friends with Cher for almost 30 years, with the pair starring in the 1996 HBO series If These Walls Could Talk.

She posed with the pop icon on the red carpet earlier in the evening.

Cher also brought her music executive boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, 38, and the two shared a passionate kiss on camera.

amfAR’s annual gala was founded by Elizabeth Taylor in 1993 and helps raise funds for HIV/AIDS research.

Demi is in France to promote her new film The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat.

Earlier this week, she attended the Cannes Film Festival with her The Substance co-stars Dennis Quaid, 70, and Margaret Qualley, 29.

The Ghost actress also posed with her little chihuahua, Pilaf, on the red carpet.

His horror film received a 13-minute standing ovation at the screening and much praise at the following press conference.

Demi plays a TV aerobics presenter who is fired from her job because of her age.

She takes a drug that turns people into better, younger versions of themselves – played by Margaret.

Demi revealed that she chose to do a horror film to get out of her “comfort zone”.

“That [movie] we touch on so many issues that we all face, we seek validation and belonging,” she said at the press conference.

“It takes us to extremes and allows us to enter into it in a unique way.”
