Steve Granitz / WireImagePop icon Cher is filing for a conservatorship of her adult son, whom she called “gravely disabled.” Elijah Blue Allman, 49, is currently in a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire, as he faces charges in the state for felony burglary, simple assault, trespassing, and breach of bail. Page Six obtained a filing from Cher, 79, who claimed her son “has no concept of money, is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence.” Allman has long struggled with drug addiction, leading his pop star mother to file a first petition for conservatorship in 2023.
She later dropped her push for a conservatorship after a months-long legal battle. Since then, the latest filing says, Allman’s life has “significantly deteriorated.” It states he immediately spends any money he can get on “drugs, expensive hotels and limousine transportation.” He currently receives 120,000 annually from a trust set up by his father, musician Gregg Allman. Beyond his concerning dependence on substances, the Grammy winner’s son “has been exhibiting hyper-sexual behavior,” apparently even “aggressively” propositioning a young hotel employee.
