Cher’s long struggle to help her son, Elijah Blue Allman, just took another unexpected turn in a Los Angeles courtroom. After she filed for a temporary conservatorship, a judge denied her request, stating that there wasn’t enough urgency to justify appointing someone to manage Elijah’s finances. This decision came while Elijah was calling in from a psychiatric hospital, where he’s working on restoring his competency amid ongoing legal troubles.
Cher argued that her son’s failing mental health and addiction issues made him“gravely disabled,”and that he was at risk of squandering his inheritance from his late father, Gregg Allman. However, the judge asserted that the upcoming payout from Elijah’s trust was a known event and didn’t qualify as an emergency. With this being Cher’s second failed attempt at establishing a conservatorship, one can only wonder how this family drama will unfold going forward. Will Cher and Elijah find common ground, or are we in for more courtroom theatrics?
