Showbiz legend Cher has lost contact with her drug-addled son Elijah Blue Allman, she complained in new court papers filed just hours before a decision on his welfare is due to be made in court Friday.<\/p>\n
And, she says, she fears that if Elijah is allowed full access to thousands of dollars he is due from a trust fund he will spend it all on drugs.<\/p>\n
‘Due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues, Elijah is not currently able to manage his finances,’ Cher said in a petition to a Los Angeles court filed Thursday.<\/p>\n
She says if he got his hands on his money ‘such funds will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting his life at risk.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The move by Cher, 77, is the latest in the increasingly bitter battle between the Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winner and her daughter-in-law Marieangela ‘Queeny’ King that has been simmering for years.<\/p>\n
Elijah Blue and his wife Marieangela ‘Queeny’ King have reconciled and are now living together, King’s attorney told DailyMail.com<\/p>\n
In September, DailyMail.com obtained photos showing a disheveled Allman outside Hollywood’s famed Chateau Marmont – where he had been living – just before he was removed by police and sent into treatment\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cher, 77, (pictured with her son in 2001) filed court papers seeking to place Elijah in a conservatorship, claiming that he is addicted to drugs and unable to manage his financial affairs<\/p>\n
Earlier this week King claimed she had to risk her life rescuing her husband from a drug rehab center in Mexico\u00a0that Cher had sent him to and the couple appealed to a court to call off their divorce.<\/p>\n
Queeny’s attorney Regina Ratner told DailyMail.com the couple were in the process of reconciling and were now living together.<\/p>\n
Friday’s hearing will decide whether Cher will be appointed her son’s temporary conservator until a full hearing in March.<\/p>\n
‘The appointment of a temporary conservator is urgently needed to receive the distribution owed to Elijah so that such funds can be held and managed for his benefit,’ Cher’s lawyer Lilian Walden Givens writes.<\/p>\n
‘There is no harm to Elijah’s estate if a temporary conservator is appointed,’ adds Givens. The temporary petition seeks to have petitioner appointed for the sole purpose of receiving distributions owed to Elijah from the trust.<\/p>\n
‘Such distributions will be held by petitioner for Elijah’s benefit and used by petitioner to pay for Elijah’s healthcare, housing, or any other expense that may arise.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed in September that Allman, 47, had\u00a0gone back into rehab after he passed out on the sidewalk outside the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles where he had been living.<\/p>\n
For days before that he had been seen stumbling around the famed hotel where actor John Belushi died from a drug overdose in 1982.<\/p>\n
‘He would come out with a full cigarette and by the time he had finished it, he would be passed out,’ one insider at the hotel told DailyMail.com at the time.<\/p>\n
‘It always looked like it was dipped in something. He looked strung-out and messy, like he was a homeless person living on the streets.’<\/p>\n
Cher, 77, has long had a contentious relationship both with Elijah and her daughter-in-law Marieangela (pictured together in 2018)<\/p>\n
Marieangela blasted Cher in a public statement, claiming the pop singer ‘historically excluded’ her from decisions involving Elijah’s care<\/p>\n
Cher says in her petition that Elijah is ‘entitled’ to money from his trust but she fears he will spend it all on drugs if he gets it<\/p>\n
We then told how King had accused Cher of kidnapping Elijah from a New York hotel room on their wedding anniversary just as they were trying to patch up their stormy marriage.<\/p>\n
Then earlier this week she claimed\u00a0Cher had thrown Allman ‘into a lockdown facility’ in Mexico saying she had ‘historically excluded’ her from being involved in his treatment decisions.<\/p>\n
‘I have always been a champion for the sober community and for Elijah’s sobriety,’ King, 36, said in a lengthy statement obtained by DailyMail.com.<\/p>\n
‘I have full confidence in legitimate, ethically operated, HIPAA protected American medical establishments that offer long standing, time-tested treatment for those suffering from substance abuse or any number of mental health issues,’ she added.<\/p>\n
‘What I am not OK with are establishments that exclude me (his wife) from being part of Elijah’s treatment and hopeful recovery.<\/p>\n
‘I am not OK with pop-up, makeshift, unethical scam rehabs which take full advantage of families in desperate situations and seek to fraudulently exploit insurance companies for services not rendered.<\/p>\n
‘I am especially not OK with Elijah being coerced under false pretenses on or about October 17, 2023 into participating in an alternative medicine regimen and then being thrown into a lockdown facility in Mexico, sleeping behind a locked cage with six other individuals, under an imposed Mexican Conservatorship.’<\/p>\n
The statement issued through her record company, said: ‘It is not an exaggeration to say that Ms. King recently risked her own life to ensure her husband’s safe return back to the U.S.’<\/p>\n
Allman married Marieangela, 36, who goes by the name Queeny in the rock band KING, in 2013. They have no children<\/p>\n
King (pictured with Allman in 2013) released a statement criticizing mother-in-law Cher’s actions, saying she is ‘not OK’ with her\u00a0 husband ‘being coerced’ into ‘participating in an alternative medicine regimen’ that include sleeping in a ‘locked cage with six other individuals’<\/p>\n
It did not go into detail as to the circumstances of how King risked her life.<\/strong><\/p>\n The statement went on to say: ‘Any circulating rumors that insinuate that Ms. King has been anything other than an exemplary wife to Mr. Allman or is in any way complicit in impeding his recovery are patently false.’<\/p>\n The statement did not identify Cher by name, but it said that the incident at the Chateau Marmont occurred while Allman was ‘under the care of a sober companion<\/a> that was neither hired or commissioned by Ms King.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘In fact, she was never so much as consulted about the hiring of this individual and has historically been excluded from the decision-making process when it comes to her husband’s medical treatment.’<\/p>\n Elijah, the younger of Cher’s two children, is the son of her second husband, the late rocker Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band.<\/p>\n
