- Cher is an international pop superstar
- She has filed for her son's conservatorship
- THESE are the reasons for the sudden move
Cher, the Goddess of Pop, has just made a mother's ultimate sacrifice in a bid to save her son, Elijah Blue Allman, from the clutches of substance abuse and mental health issues! The superstar has filed for conservatorship, seeking to become the sole guardian of her son's estate, as per court documents snagged by 'People' magazine.
It's never easy to make these moves
Cher's Unyielding Love In a move that has shocked fans and onlookers alike, Cher has stepped into the legal limelight, not for a glittering gala, but for a court battle to protect her son. An official statement was released on behalf of the family.
The documents reveal a mother's fear that her son's wealth could vanish in a haze of drugs, leaving him destitute and in danger. "Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from the Trust, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, [Cher] is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk."
"[Cher] loves Elijah immensely and has always acted with his best interests in mind," the filing states, adding that she has been "unable to discuss his preferences concerning the appointment of a temporary conservator" because of his "current mental and physical health issues."
The plot thickens as we learn that Elijah's estranged wife, Marie Angela King, is deemed unfit for the conservator role due to a "cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises" that has marked their relationship.
The drama doesn't end there, folks! Earlier this year, rumors swirled that Cher had orchestrated a kidnapping to prevent her son from reuniting with King. The superstar slammed these claims, stating they were "not true."
She did, however, confirm that the private family matter was related to her son’s addiction issues, which he has spoken openly about over the years.
Cher clears the air
"I’m not suffering from any problem that millions of people in the United States aren’t," Cher said of watching her son’s years-long struggles with substance abuse.
"I’m a mother. This is my job — one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache — mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them."
The story took a dark turn when King expressed her fears for Allman's safety in a declaration, clueless about his current condition or whereabouts. The declaration included allegations of Allman being whisked away to an undisclosed treatment facility, with no contact with the outside world, supposedly at the behest of his megastar mother.
Despite that, Cher still wished her fans a happy holiday season.

Despite the sensational headlines, Cher's unwavering commitment to her son's wellbeing shines through. "I'm a mother. This is my job," she declared, emphasizing the lengths to which a parent will go for their child's safety. The court filing echoes this sentiment, highlighting Cher's relentless efforts to secure treatment for Elijah and her deep love for him.
The legal journey is far from over, with a hearing for a temporary conservatorship order set for the early days of 2024, followed by a hearing for a permanent order. As the world watches, one thing is clear: Cher's love for her son is as timeless as her music.
Let's wait and see where the next chapter of this story takes us!
