Despite the initial claim that her son’s life would “be at risk” if left to his own devices, Cher has given up her attempt to gain conservatorship of Elijah Blue Allman’s affairs.
The only child of Cher and late rock star Gregg Allman, who passed away in 2017, the superstar singer first applied for conservatorship in 2023, claiming that her son was not capable of properly taking care of himself or “manage his own financial resources” because of his alleged struggles with drug abuse.
According to the original documents proposing the conservatorship, the iconic singer stated “Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk.”
In a response to his mother’s application, Allman said while he had indeed “struggled with addiction and spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible” in the past, he was now “clean and sober”.
In an interview with People magazine, his attorneys said “Mr Allman’s team successfully defended the bid, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition.” “This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.”
In court, Cher’s lawyer Gabrielle Vidal said the singer and her son had “privately resolved this matter” via mediation.
