Liza Minnelli says ex Martin Scorsese 'turned away' from her at 2014 Oscars

Liza Minnelli is opening up about a painful moment involving a former lover, revealing a surprising encounter years after their relationship ended.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, Minnelli shared in her new memoir Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! that she crossed paths with her ex, Martin Scorsese, at the 2014 Oscars, but the interaction didn’t go as she might have hoped.

Reflecting on the moment, Minnelli said Scorsese “turned away” from her when they saw each other at the event, describing the experience as “very sad.”

The two had a well-known, intense relationship in the 1970s while working together on New York, New York, a romance Minnelli has previously described as passionate but complicated. Their relationship unfolded during a turbulent time in both of their lives, marked by personal struggles and substance use.

In her memoir, Minnelli revisits that era candidly, shedding light on both the highs and lows of their connection, and how it ultimately ended. The Oscars moment, she suggests, highlighted just how distant they had become over the years.

The revelation is one of many personal stories in Minnelli’s book, which dives into her relationships, career, and challenges with addiction, offering a deeply personal look at her life behind the spotlight.
