American singer and television personality Cher, has been accused of involvement in hiring four individuals to abduct her son, Elijah Blue Allman, in late 2022. According to Court documents from December 5, 2022. The accusations emerged in the proceedings between Elijah and his wife, Marie King, who filed for divorce in 2021.
In these documents, Marie, also known as Queenie, mentions that the iconic superstar Cher organised the abduction of her son from their New York hotel room on November 30, 2022, which happened to be their wedding anniversary.
Marie claims that this action was taken while they were attempting to reconcile their marriage, and she expressed concerns over her son’s safety. Notably, Marie stated that they had spent 12 days together in New York from November 18 to November 30, to working on their relationship.
According to the same legal documents, Marie further alleges that one of the four individuals involved in taking Elijah informed her that Cher had hired them for this task.
In her statement within the documents, Marie even expressed deep concern about her husband’s well-being and whereabouts, stating, “I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him.” She also emphasized her desire for her husband’s best interests and her understanding of his family’s efforts to ensure his well-being.
Furthermore, King disclosed in the same legal papers that Cher’s mother-in-law had asked her to vacate their residence with Elijah without allowing her to retrieve her personal belongings when he was receiving medical care in August 2022.
