In a startling revelation, iconic American singer and television personality Cher has been implicated in a scheme to kidnap her son, Elijah Blue Allman, according to court documents that have recently come to light. The allegations, which have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, suggest a deeply personal and tumultuous family drama playing out against the backdrop of a high-profile divorce.
Elijah Blue Allman and his wife, Marie King, are currently embroiled in divorce proceedings at the Los Angeles Superior Court. It is within this context that King has submitted a court declaration, alleging that Cher masterminded a plan to have her son kidnapped by four men in 2022. The purported motive behind this drastic action was to prevent Allman from reconciling with King.
The couple, despite initiating divorce proceedings in 2021, had made attempts to salvage their relationship. King recounts a poignant episode where the two spent 12 days in a New York hotel room, endeavoring to mend their fractured bond. However, this period of tentative reconciliation was abruptly interrupted on November 30, 2022, when four men allegedly stormed their hotel room, forcibly removing Allman. King asserts that one of these individuals was directly employed by Cher.
Further deepening the mystery, King claims that since the incident, Allman has been sequestered in an undisclosed treatment facility, cut off from communication, including access to his phone. "I am currently unaware of my husband's wellbeing or whereabouts," King expressed in her December statement, voicing her deep concern for Allman's safety and mental state.
King's declaration also sheds light on other instances of familial discord. She alleges that Cher, capitalizing on a moment when Allman was away, instructed her to vacate the family residence. King contends that she was denied even the basic right to collect her personal belongings from their shared home.
Elijah Blue Allman, Cher's younger son from her marriage to the late Greg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band, has previously been candid about his struggles with drug addiction. He once revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around 11." Allman's battles with substance abuse, mirroring those of his late father, have seen him seek recovery multiple times over the years.
As the legal proceedings continue, the entertainment world and fans alike await further developments in this deeply personal and complex saga.
