Veteran American singer Cher would have hired a group of men to kidnap her troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman, from a hotel room while he was trying to save his marriage to his wife, Marieangela King, new court documents now reveal. The New York Post has had access.
The events would have taken place in New York last November when four men broke into the hotel room where Elijah Blue Allman and Marieangela King were spending the night, according to King's statement in a Los Angeles court obtained by the same media.
The couple had spent 12 days together before the men took Allman away on Nov. 30, 2022, the day they celebrated their wedding anniversary. "I currently do not know the status and whereabouts of my husband. I am very worried and worried about him," King stated on December 4, 2022. "One of the four men who took him told me that they were hired by the petitioner's mother" , he added in his signed statement.
In this sense, months later he assured in a statement in Daily Mail that he understood "his family's efforts to make sure he is well and I want the best for my husband." Apparently, Cher has had a rather difficult relationship with her son and her ex-daughter-in-law and, as various media outlets have reported over the years, mother and son have spent long periods without speaking to each other. Allman filed for divorce from King in 2021, but it would still be unresolved.
According to the latest news about Cher's son, he stayed at the famous Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood for six months this year before recently returning to rehab. Allman, also a musician like his mother, has suffered from addictions since adolescence and, according to the latest information, he would not be fully recovered after his first season of rehabilitation. In the American media he is credited with this forceful statement: "I started using drugs around the same time as all of us, around age 11."
Before being admitted to rehabilitation, testimonies from workers who treated him at the West Hollywood hotel told worrying stories. Apparently every morning and afternoon Elijah was seen leaning against the wall or sitting on the sidewalk smoking a cigarette and "when he finished it, he would pass out." "He always seemed like he was immersed in something. He seemed tense and disorganized, as if he were a homeless person living on the street," they added.
In another of her efforts to keep her youngest son under control, Cher hired a caregiver to keep an eye on him, but Chateau Marmont staff found the employee lying face down and unconscious on the sidewalk outside the hotel entrance. as the Daily Mail reported then.
