Nowhere in Cher's tweet is there an implied threat or wish of harm. Cher seems to be proposing a hypothetical situation in order to invite speculation as to a probable outcome. Obviously, the subtext is ridiculous in the extreme and bawdy in vernacular, but such is the nature of the Twitter environment.
Nowhere in Cher's tweet is the word "anal", either.
