For many watching, that is where the real fear begins. Because when a mother who once pulled back suddenly goes back to court, it raises the possibility that Elijah\u2019s situation may be far more serious than the public ever realized.  Now the filing is being seen as more than just another legal move \u2014 it feels like a sign that whatever is happening may have reached a point Cher no longer believes she can handle quietly.

His mental health has severely deteriorated, his financial situation is terrible, and his drug dependency is at its worst,\u201d the new filings made this week in Los Angeles County probate court and obtained by\u00a0<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>\u00a0allege.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cher Wants a Conservatorship for 'Gravely Disabled' Son Elijah Blue Allman\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zsd4xMz884c\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Justin Bieber\u2019s Seven-Minute Rehearsal and More Behind-the-Scenes 2026 Grammys Secrets<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">SZA Defends Cher Following Grammys Flub: \u2018She Probably Really Knew Luther Vandross\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Music\u2019s Biggest Names Turn the Grammys Into a Massive Party \u2013 With Rage in the Air<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cher claims her son\u2019s life has spiraled since she\u00a0first sought conservatorship control\u00a0over his finances in a December 2023 bid that ended with a private settlement. In her prior effort, Cher told the court that Allman \u201curgently needed\u201d help managing his assets amid \u201csevere mental-health and substance-abuse issues.\u201d\u00a0Cher was initially rebuffed by the judge and ultimately\u00a0resolved the matter privately\u00a0in September 2024, with Allman promising to hire a business manager. She says he never did.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-4\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Since that time, Allman has been \u201cliving wildly beyond his means,\u201d bouncing between \u201cexpensive hotels he cannot afford\u201d and short-term rental homes, allegedly causing more than $50,000 in damage to one Airbnb, and purportedly racking up an $18,000 bill with a drug dealer, the new filings state. He also has an unpaid tax bill topping $200,000, Cher claims, and is facing a raft of criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Allman was first arrested on Feb. 27 at St. Paul\u2019s School in Concord, New Hampshire, on suspicion of trespassing, criminal threats, and simple assault, a bail order obtained by\u00a0<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>\u00a0confirms. According to WMUR 9 News, Allman allegedly slipped onto campus claiming he was a prospective parent, turned belligerent, and\u00a0poked a student\u00a0with his cane. Allman was booked and released, then arrested again two days later on a burglary rap in Windham, New Hampshire, after a woman called police saying someone had broken into her home, and she was \u201chiding in a closet,\u201d according to a police affidavit obtained by\u00a0<em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. Officers arrived to find a shattered glass door and Allman \u201cseated on the living room couch smoking a cigarette,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSince the proposed conservatee is currently in custody in a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire, this application does not seek a conservatorship of the person. However, the facts underlying this petition are not only relevant to establish the proposed conservatee\u2019s total inability to manage his finances, but the facts also establish that he is gravely disabled,\u201d Cher\u2019s conservatorship request states. It adds that a more thorough conservatorship over Allman\u2019s personal life likely would be \u201cappropriate for him once he returns to California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The new documents say Elijah still receives $120,000 a month via a trust that his father Gregg set up prior to the Allman Brothers Band singer\u2019s death. That monthly payment is then \u201cimmediately squandered without regard for his liabilities or well-being,\u201d the court filings say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere is a clear pattern in Elijah\u2019s behavior,\u201d Cher alleged in the documents filed by her lawyer. \u201cAfter 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-4\">\n<div id=\"recirc-ac86cd6d-5f85-3aa5-ad72-3ce9c072d0ab\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<div class=\"mb-3.5 flex items-center gap-2\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"grid gap-4 lg:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-rows-[auto_auto_1fr]\">\n<div class=\"relative flex lg:border-b lg:pb-4 lg:border-b-[#e3e3e3] dark:border-b-ramones\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-row items-center\">\n<div class=\"flex shrink-0 items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The conservatorship filings also detail other instances where Allman allegedly was a danger to himself or others, including an episode where he passed out in his car in the middle of traffic and ended up in a hospital, where he was administered Narcan. \u201cThere have been multiple occasions in which Elijah caused grease fires while cooking after zoning out and forgetting that food was on the stove,\u201d the filing states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Allman\u2019s sister, Devon Allman, submitted a declaration in support of the new conservatorship request. \u201cIt is my opinion that he is currently a danger to himself and unable to manage his life, and any funds that would become available to him,\u201d she wrote. \u201cMy recent visit to check in on him brought me unfortunate and profound sadness that took weeks of my life to process. His condition, both physical and mental, was appalling and delusional, respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Devon said she previously was compelled to \u201cnegotiate with a heroin dealer for a five-figure sum of drug debts\u201d because her brother was unable to pay. \u201cThat was very difficult to navigate. I felt compelled to help for his safety, though,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI strongly urge that Elijah be kept away from money until he has demonstrated a commitment to invest in his long-term physical and mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Cher initially filed for a conservatorship back in 2023, she asked to be named her son\u2019s financial conservator. This time, she\u2019s asking the court to appoint Jason Rubin, a licensed private fiduciary. She\u2019s asking the court to grant Rubin the power to receive her son\u2019s trust distributions and use them to pay Allman\u2019s expenses at his discretion, pending the outcome of the proceeding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Elijah has an arraignment in his Concord criminal case set for Monday, and a probable-cause hearing in his Windham case set for next Wednesday, a court spokesman tells\u00a0<em>Rolling Stone.<\/em>\u00a0It\u2019s likely they will get continued to later dates, considering Allman\u2019s hospitalization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cher is once again seeking an emergency conservatorship over Elijah Blue Allman after back-to-back arrests in New Hampshire landed her 49-year-old son with Gregg Allman in a&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15704,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15702\/revisions\/15704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grow48.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
