Cher's 48-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, was recently spotted looking worse for wear following the end of his ugly conservatorship battle with his superstar mom.
Allman, whose father was the late Southern rockstar Gregg Allman, was caught on camera smoking a cigarette outside the famous Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, Calif., this week.

His clothes were in tatters, per a video first obtained by Daily Mail, and he struggled to stand up straight as he stumbled around the exclusive Hollywood hotspot.
Allman, who had a long, nail-polished fingernail on his right hand, was also seen staring off vacantly before shakily wandering back into the famed hotel.
The Post reached out to Cher's rep for comment.
The disturbing footage of Cher's adult son comes after the 'Believe' singer, 78, and Allman months after they ended their bitter conservatorship battle.

Cher first applied to place her son in a conservatorship in December 2023, claiming he could not 'substantially manage his own financial resources' because of 'severe mental health and substance abuse issues.'
'Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk,' the legal documents stated.
She also claimed that Allman's estranged wife, Marieangela King, was a bad influence on her son and actively worked against her efforts to get him help.

The battle became so intense that King, 37, accused the Goddess of Pop of hiring four men to kidnap Allman to send him to a rehab facility.
But Cher denied King's kidnapping allegations and told The Post at the time, 'I didn't do it, and if I did it, I wouldn't say I did it.'
The 'If I Could Turn Back Time' singer ultimately dismissed the conservatorship case in September 2024.

'The team successfully defended Elijah, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition,' Allman's lawyers told People following the dismissal.
'This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond,' they added, 'a process that began during mediation and continues today.'
In April, King filed for divorce from Allman, citing irreconcilable differences. She marked their date of separation as March 31, 2025.

'We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I'll always cherish,' she said after filing for divorcen. 'I know we'll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart.'
'As we turn the page to this next chapter,' she added, 'we kindly ask for privacy and truly appreciate your understanding.'
King also requested $6K per month in temporary spousal support and the family vehicle: a 2017 Toyota Prius.
