Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman was recently spotted in L.A in bad shape, drawing attention from concerned fans
For years, Cher has been caught in a painful family crisis involving her son, Elijah Blue Allman (48), whom she had with late rock star Gregg Allman. And once again, Elijah is making headlines – but not for the reasons any mother would hope.
A Custody Battle With No Winner
In December 2023, Cher filed for legal custody over Elijah, saying she was worried about his mental health and ongoing addiction issues. She claimed he wasn’t able to manage his own money and needed protection.
One major reason she pointed to? Cher believed Elijah’s relationship with his wife, Marieangela King, was toxic and played a big part in his downfall.
But King fought back, accusing Cher of trying to “steal her husband” and force him into rehab. After months of legal back-and-forth, Cher quietly dropped the custody request in September 2024.
A Downward Spiral – And Shocking Photos
Just days ago, Elijah was spotted outside the famous Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles – and fans were stunned by what they saw. He appeared in extremely bad shape: wearing ragged clothes, walking unsteadily, his eyes dull and unfocused. One detail stood out – a long, polished fingernail that many suspect is used for snorting drugs.
Media outlets quickly reached out to Cher for comment, but she stayed silent. The situation got even messier with Elijah’s divorce from King, which was finalized on March 31, 2025. Along with the divorce came new problems – a fight over alimony and a legal dispute about their car.
