In response to Cher’s filing, Marieangela told E!, “I can only give you the facts. I am married to Elijah for 13 years, together for 15 years. His mother sent him to boarding school at age 6 & they’ve been estranged his whole life. She abandoned him at boarding school all year round even throughout the holidays. Elijah raised himself. Elijah needs to be surrounded by people who are sober and who support his recovery.”
Marieangela added of Cher—who said in January that she herself has “never done drugs” and doesn’t drink—that the musician is “upset she’s lost control.”
Cher doesn’t believe Marieangela should be appointed as conservator because, as the docs state, “Mrs. King-Allman was in the process of divorcing Eljah Allman for many months, and was estranged from him, when Cher initiated this conservatorship proceeding.”
The singer’s daughter-in-law is also accused of not helping to provide care for Elijah (who Cher has described as “gravely disabled” and having experienced “drug dependency is at its worst,” per court docs obtained by Page Six).
“Mrs. King-Allman never lifted a finger to help, despite the fact that Mr. Allman was supposedly her spouse,” alleged the brief obtained by E!. “Now that a conservatorship is pending, Mrs. King-Allman clearly sees a financial opportunity to control his income, and she has attempted to seize the opportunity created by his incarceration to try to reinsert herself back into his life.”
Elijah and Marieangela were married in 2013, but she filed for divorce in 2021. That filing was dismissed in February 2024 before Marieangela filed again in April 2025. The second filing was dismissed in June 2026.
