Cher is under investigation for a 2022 incident in which she reportedly hired four men to "kidnap" Elijah Blue Allman, her son with the late Gregg Allman, from a hotel where he was staying with his wife.
Marieangela King filed papers in a New York court saying that Allman was whisked away from the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, California while the two were working out how to save their marriage. Her declaration, dated on December 4th, said, “I am currently unaware of my husband’s well being or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him. I was told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired by petitioner’s mother.”
A source close to the situation tells Britain's Daily Mail that Cher had been concerned about Elijah's health for months. The insider says that she hired a caretaker to look after the 47-year-old, but Chateau Marmont staff found him lying face-down and unconscious on the pavement in front of the hotel entrance.
