Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman revealed their estranged relationship as the Hollywood star continues to fight for Elijah’s protection.

In late December 2023, Cher, 77, filed for custody of Elijah to help him manage his financial resources as he battled drug addiction. She was temporarily denied conservatorship in January, but the two sides continue to argue.

Now, Elijah has made a formal objection to the conservatorship and has been granted people magazinein which he admitted to his addiction issues but declared that he was “not mentally ill,” as Cher claimed.

He further stated, “The only person who could save me from my inner demons was myself – and that’s what I did.”

Although Elijah opposes custody, he acknowledged that if the court rules in his favor, custody should be awarded to his wife, Mary Angela King, rather than Cher.

“My relationship with my mother has been strained for years,” he explained, citing a recent example of Cher tricking him into coming to Mexico to receive “holistic alternative therapies.”

Elijah continued: “My mother is 77 and will be 78 when she hears this. I have seen her suffer from depression in the past and I do not believe she has the ability to make an appropriate contribution to my legacy. decision.”
