(The Hill) — Famed singer and actress Cher has filed for a conservatorship of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, citing his alleged substance abuse and mental health struggles as grounds for assuming control of his estate. According to court documents obtained by media outlets including People, Page Six, and USAToday, the “Goddess of Pop” claims that Allman, her youngest child, is "substantially unable to manage his financial resources," adding that a conservator is "urgently needed ... to protect Elijah’s property from loss or injury.”Cher argues in the documents that she should act as sole conservator, claiming that it would not be in her son’s best interests for his estranged wife, Marieangela King, to take on the role. The filing, first reported by The Blast, states that King and Allman, who entered divorce proceedings in 2021, had a “tumultuous relationship” marked by a “cycle of drug addiction and mental health crises.”According to USA Today, the singer’s attorneys claim that if Kin...
