#SHOWBIZ: Cher sees red over daughter-in-law's 'quest for money' in son's conservatorship
LOS ANGELES: Veteran superstar Cherilyn Sarkisian or Cher is taking legal action against her daughter-in-law Marieangela King-Allman.
Veteran superstar Cher, 80, has taken legal action against her daughter-in-law, Marieangela King-Allman, in order to appoint a guardian for her troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman, 50. According to E! News, Cher filed a supplemental brief at a Los Angeles court on August 28, alleging that Marieangela was seeking to become Elijah's conservator for monetary gain.
Both the New Hampshire State Hospital and the rest of the family strongly oppose Marieangela's appointment, citing Elijah's estrangement from her. Cher discovered that Elijah, who is currently in a psychiatric hospital in New Hampshire facing multiple criminal charges, had denied her visits three times. Marieangela, who was married to Elijah for 13 years, filed for divorce in 2021, which was dismissed in February 2024.
She filed for divorce again in April 2025, but that filing was also dismissed in June 2026. Elijah's decision to maintain a relationship with Marieangela is described as a personal choice he will eventually make independently. Cher had previously filed for conservatorship over Elijah in December 2023, but was denied in January 2024 due to insufficient evidence.
