Elijah Blue Allman, Cher’s son, has been in a legal battle with his famous mother over a conservatorship request that she filed last year. The request, which was temporarily denied, cited Elijah’s struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues, as well as his inability to manage his financial affairs effectively. Despite being a product of Cher’s marriage to late musician Gregg Allman, Elijah is determined to prove that he does not need a conservatorship, especially not one managed by his mother.
Before Gregg Allman passed away in 2017, he set up a trust for his son Elijah, from which he receives funds via interval payments. The relationship between Elijah and Cher has been described as “strained” for “years.” Elijah’s wife, Marieangela “Queeny” King, has also been involved in the conservatorship battle, claiming that Cher is “categorically unfit” to serve as Elijah’s conservator. She argued that Cher is not capable of managing her own affairs, let alone those of Elijah, pointing out that Cher does not even know the security code to her own home.
Elijah’s Defense
In a new court document obtained by People, Elijah reiterated his stance against the conservatorship managed by his mother. He declared that he is capable of managing his own financial resources and resisting fraud and undue influence. While acknowledging his struggles with addiction, Elijah emphasized that he is not currently struggling with his mental wellbeing. He firmly stated, “I do not need a conservatorship,” and expressed that he is the only one who can save himself from his demons.
Throughout the legal battle, Elijah’s wife, Queeny, has stood by him. She has objected to Cher’s role as a conservator, highlighting Cher’s alleged inability to manage her own affairs. Despite the allegations that Cher had her son kidnapped and sent to rehab, which she denied, Cher expressed her unconditional love and support for her children. She emphasized that as a mother, she would do anything to help her children and be there for them, even in times of heartache.
Elijah Blue Allman’s stand against the conservatorship managed by his famous mother, Cher, sheds light on the complexities of family dynamics and individual autonomy. While navigating issues of substance abuse, mental health, and financial management, Elijah asserts his independence and ability to overcome his struggles. As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how the courts will decide on the conservatorship matter. Cher’s unwavering support for her son contrasts with Elijah’s desire for self-reliance, creating a narrative of familial love and conflict in the public eye.
