In the book, the actress reveals that she has been in a relationship with Teresa Wierson after meeting at Gold's Gym in Hollywood.
“Often, when I was doing my preworkout warm-up on the treadmill, I couldn’t help noticing one particular trainer — tan, tattooed, and muscular — stalking across the gym floor, knit cap pulled so low over his long brown hair that it nearly covered his eyes,” she wrote.

“Dark and brooding, he gave off such intense energy that when he crossed the enormous gym floor, the waters parted and people stopped in their tracks to stare.”
Prior to her relationship with Wierson, she was married to producer from 1981 to 2003.
ARIANA FEUD
Meanwhile, Cassandra recently revealed how she is embroiled in a feud wit Ariana Grande after she asked for 21 free tickets to her latest show.
Cassandra told the crowd at a special Halloween experience at Knott's Berry Scary Farm how the Wicked star and her family members attended the show but then refused to have a photograph together.

"She came and she brought 20 guests. So, she wanted 21 tickets, and we were like 'okay'," said Cassandra.
"We give her the tickets, and she comes backstage and she asked if I could take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought.
"I take a picture with every single one of them. I sign autographs for every single one of them.
"Then I say to her ‘Can we take a photo together?’ and she goes, ‘Nah, I don’t really do that.’"
To add further insult to injury, the star shared: "She left before my show started and all her relatives stayed... and she took off. Okay! Just sayin'.”
A presenter at the convention reportedly reacted with: "Ariana is playing the wrong witch in the upcoming Wicked movie."
Another took to X, formerly Twitter to air her outrage, saying: "The Ariana Grande and Elvira story is actually insane and Ariana should be investigated.";
Another said: "...could never imagine being so disrespectful."
Ariana has since responded to the claims and commented to Cassandra: "I’m so disheartened to see this.

She added: "But if K’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologise for offending you so."
