Cher has filed for conservatorship of troubled son Elijah Blue Allman’s estate following a string of arrests.
According to court documents exclusively obtained by Page Six, the music icon, 79, filed a petition to appoint a temporary conservator of her 49-year-old son’s estate earlier this week in Los Angeles Superior Court.
She requested that fiduciary Jason Rubin be in charge of her youngest child’s finances.
This is the second time Cher has filed for conservatorship of Allman’s estate.
“The life of Elijah Allman (‘proposed conservatee’) has significantly deteriorated since a prior conservatorship petition was filed in 2023,” the new filing reads.
“The proposed conservatee is currently in custody in the State of New Hampshire in a locked psychiatric hospital in an attempt to restore him to competency to face criminal charges in two cases across two New Hampshire counties for: felony burglary criminal mischief, simple assault, criminal trespass and breach of bail, but that is just the current set of problems.”
According to the Grammy winner, Allman “has no concept of money, is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence” because of his “severe mental health and addiction issues.”
Cher claimed he “spends any money he gets immediately, and almost exclusively money on drugs, expensive hotels and limousine transportation.”
She went on to allege that her son has failed “to pay any income taxes,” failed to appear in court after his ex-wife, Marieangela King, obtained an order to receive spousal support and “had an $18,000 bill with a drug dealer who tracked him down, resulting in Elijah borrowing money from a friend in order to avoid being harmed.”
Allman also allegedly “has no awareness of consequences for the damage he caused at various AirBnBs where he had been staying; were it not for his friends and family cleaning up the financial and physical messes he made at those residences, he would have even more judgments against him.
“In total, Elijah has no ability to manage money, and any dollar he receives from his father’s trust (his only source of income) is immediately squandered without regard for his liabilities or well-being.”
Allman — whose father is Cher’s ex-husband Gregg Allman — receives $120,000 a month via a trust set up by his dad, according to the court documents.
“There is a clear pattern in Elijah’s behavior,” Cher alleged. “After he receives his trust distribution, he checks into a hotel, usually the Chateau Marmont, buys and does drugs until he runs out of money, ends up in the hospital or overdoses. Based on this pattern, if Elijah were to receive his trust distribution, he will use it buy drugs.”
The singer went on to argue that it would also be “appropriate” to seek a conversatoriship of Elijah’s person once he’s back in California, calling him “gravely disabled.”
According to Cher, Elijah has caused “thousands of dollars in damages from cigarette burns in the rugs, beds, dressers, broken windows [and] walls” and “has been thrown out of a total of 18 hotels because he has made guests feel uncomfortable [by] screaming obscenities and acting erratically.”
Cher also claimed her son “has been exhibiting hyper-sexual behavior,” even once allegedly cornering a young hotel housekeeper and “aggressively” proposing sexual relations.
