When Cher performed a sold-out spectacular at KeyArena this past summer, the 68-year-old entertainment icon showed she’s still got plenty of spunk. And now she’s unleashing it on a Seattle-based real estate website.

The singer/actress seems to have a beef with a lot of people, especially the Chinese. And for some reason she thinks Zillow should be chastised for having the gall (sarcasm added) to actually publish real estate listings online.

It isn’t the first time she’s railed against the Chinese. In a previous tweet, she blasted them about spying after the sale of the Waldorf Astoria to Chinese owners.

“THE STATE DEPT IS (expletive) NUTS.WE SOLD THE”WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL”2 THE (expletive) COMMUNIST CHINESE &”NOW”THE STATE DEPT.THINKS THE CHINESE WILL SPY”

As for Zillow, the company didn’t have much to say, other than to point Geekwire to a tweet of its own.

There’s no word what set Cher off (or why she’s never been shown how to turn off the CAPS LOCK.) But Zillow isn’t the only local concern in her crosshairs. Last week, she launched a tirade against Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella after his widely publicized gaffe about female workers not asking for raises and instead counting on karma.

“#MICROSOFTS MISOGYNIST IN CHIEF WANTS WOMEN 2WAIT 4THE “REWARDS” (expletive) HIM ITS CALLED EQUAL PAY 4EQUAL WORK! DONT PAT OUR HEADS,GIVE US RESPECT”
