The ongoing legal battle between Cher and her son, Elijah Blue Allman, has taken a new turn as Elijah continues to fight against the conservatorship requested by his mother. The 47-year-old son of the legendary singer has been adamant that he does not need a conservatorship, especially not one managed by Cher herself. The strained relationship between mother and son has been evident for years, with Cher citing Elijah’s struggles with substance abuse, mental health issues, and financial incapability as the reasons behind her conservatorship request.
In a new court document obtained by People, Elijah Blue Allman has doubled down on his stance that he is capable of managing his own financial resources and resisting fraud and undue influence. Despite his past struggles with addiction, Elijah asserts that he is not mentally ill and does not need a conservatorship to manage his life. He emphasized that he receives funds from a trust set up by his late father, Gregg Allman, and he does not need these distributions to engage in self-destructive behaviors.
Throughout the conservatorship battle, Elijah’s wife, Marieangela “Queeny” King, has been a constant support for him. She has objected to Cher serving as Elijah’s conservator, arguing that the famous singer is not fit to manage his affairs, let alone his trust fund. King highlighted Cher’s alleged incompetence in managing her own life, including not knowing the security code to her own home, not driving, and not being able to prepare meals or dress herself.
Cher, on the other hand, has defended her actions by stating that as a mother, she will do anything to help her children. Despite the heartache and challenges that come with parenting, Cher believes that supporting her children is a priority. She has refuted claims that she had her son kidnapped and sent to rehab, emphasizing her love and dedication to her children.
The ongoing legal battle between Cher and Elijah Blue Allman sheds light on the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges that come with mental health and addiction. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the court will decide on the conservatorship issue. Cher’s famous status adds a layer of public interest to the case, but at its core, it is a personal and emotional battle between a mother and her son. Only time will tell how this family conflict will be resolved. Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman is doubling down on his argument that he does not need a conservatorship, or at least not one managed by his famous mom. The “Believe” singer and her son, 47, have been at odds since last year, when she filed a conservatorship request – which was temporarily denied – citing her son’s struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues, as well as his inability to manage his financial affairs effectively. Elijah is a product of the Burlesque actress’ marriage to late musician Gregg Allman, from 1975 to 1979. Before his passing aged 69 in 2017, the Allman Brothers Band former member set up a trust for his son, funds from which he receives via interval payments. As their legal battle further unfolds, a new court document on behalf of Elijah obtained by People further reveals his defense against his mom’s decision, with whom he’s said he’s had a “strained” relationship for “years.”
