• Elijah Blue Allman seen disheveled outside LA hotel following the end of a public conservatorship battle with his mother Cher.
• Cher dropped her legal case in 2024 after claiming her son struggled with addiction and poor financial decisions.
• Elijah’s wife, Marieangela King, filed for divorce in 2025 after 13 years together and requested spousal support.

Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman recently showed up in a troubling state outside the famous Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. He smoked a cigarette while stumbling around the entrance of the hotel. His clothes looked torn and dirty. He had a long painted nail on his right hand. At one point, he stopped and stared into space. Then he slowly made his way back into the building. Onlookers expressed concern as Elijah seemed out of it and unstable. His condition shocked many, especially after his recent legal fight with his mother.

Cher Fought to Protect Her Son Through Conservatorship

In December 2023, Cher filed for a conservatorship over Elijah. She claimed he could not manage his money or his health. She blamed severe mental illness and substance abuse. Cher said that if Elijah received any money, he would spend it on drugs. She feared this would leave him broke and put his life at risk. Her legal filing showed how deeply concerned she felt. Cher wanted to step in before things got worse. She also felt that Elijah’s wife, Marieangela King, was making the situation worse. Cher said King stood in the way of Elijah getting help.

King Accused Cher of Planning a Forced Rehab

The conservatorship battle quickly turned ugly. In a shocking accusation, King said Cher had four men kidnap Elijah. She said Cher wanted to send him to rehab by force. The claim made headlines and stirred public debate. When asked, Cher denied it. She told the New York Post, “I didn’t do it, and if I did it, I wouldn’t say I did it.” The case grew more intense as both sides made emotional and serious claims. But in the end, the legal drama took a different turn.

Cher Dropped the Legal Case in Late 2024

By September 2024, Cher decided to dismiss the conservatorship case. Elijah’s legal team shared the news with Peoplemagazine. They said Cher dropped the case voluntarily. They also said Elijah had successfully defended himself. According to the lawyers, both sides started to rebuild their relationship. Mediation helped begin the healing process. They hoped to repair family bonds after the long legal battle. While no one shared more details, the family clearly needed time to recover from the drama.

Elijah and Marieangela King Ended Their Marriage

In April 2025, King filed for divorce from Elijah. She said they had “irreconcilable differences.” She marked March 31, 2025, as the day they separated. The couple had been together for 13 years. King said she would always cherish the memories they made. She also said she and Elijah would remain friends. But the divorce marked the end of a long and difficult chapter. King requested $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support. She also asked for the family’s 2017 Toyota Prius. In her statement, she asked the public to respect their privacy. She said she appreciated everyone’s understanding during this time.

Elijah’s Public Appearance Raises New Concerns

Now that the legal case and marriage are over, Elijah’s recent public appearance has raised new concerns. Many wonder if he still struggles with addiction or mental health. His appearance at Chateau Marmont suggested he may need help again. He seemed lost, disheveled, and unwell. Though Cher has not commented, the situation shows signs of ongoing trouble. People who care about Elijah hope he finds the support he needs. His recent past has been full of emotional battles, legal drama, and public attention.
