EXCLUSIVE Cher DRAGGED into troubled son Elijah Blue Allman's divorce as ex wife slams his family's trust funds
Elijah Blue Allman's estranged wife, Marieangela King, is seemingly ready to battle her ex and his wealthy family after dragging his superstar mother Cher into their nasty divorce. The 37-year-old singer filed for divorce from Elijah, 48, on April 8 after 11 years of marriage, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' At the time, she also demanded $6,000 a month in spousal support and 'exclusive use of [their] 2017 Toyota Prius', according to court documents. Now, new court filings, obtained by Daily Mail, reveal Marieangela filed a request for order for spousal support and attorney's fees, urging the court to grant temporary spousal support in the amount of $6,500 per month and $10,000 for attorney's fees. The filing comes shortly after Elijah was discharged from a hospital following a 'drug overdose' on June 14, as reported by TMZ. Daily Mail confirmed via the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department that the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman was rushed to the hospital last Saturday after he was found 'acting erratically.' They added that drugs were discovered inside the home, and that an investigation into the incident remains ongoing. Meanwhile, Elijah's ex, Marieangela (who goes by her stage name 'Queenie King'), is making a desperate plea with the court to order Elijah to pay her since she claims she has very little income. The self-proclaimed 'housewife' and 'homemaker' from Los Angeles revealed in the court docs that her total assets, including money in her checking and savings accounts, is $3,651.96... which is not nearly enough to cover her alleged expenses of $12,000 per month ($5,000 of this is for rent and $1,500 is for groceries and household supplies). She alleged in the June 20 court filing that she hasn't had income since she put her career on hold since 2009 'to attend to domestic duties and support Elijah's career.' 'I was very lucky to live an amazing life with my husband. I have sacrificed my professional career for the past 11+ years of marriage to support my husband in line with his family's wishes,' she said in the filing. She also informed the court that the 'entertainment market is difficult' and that she has not been able to develop her career while supporting Elijah 'and his families priorities especially under such a high profile magnifier and given no specific support to do so.' Having no support at all, she claims that she can't even afford to go to film school, which is $80,000 for two years, to build a career and said that it will 'take time for me to enter the work force and support myself.' She reasoned, 'My request for temporary spousal support is below my marital standard. Even below the marital standard, I need support to pay rent and cover my basic needs and money in order to seek further education and employment in order to become self supporting.' She added that he was the 'sole provider' during their marriage - with him covering her health and auto insurance plans - and claims that 'he was getting a minimum of $20,000 a month from two separate accounts and that was just an advance of what he was owed.' In addition, she claims he was receiving 'regular' income from various sources, including being a partner in family business (The Allman Brothers brand and related Music, Publishing, Merchandising income and assets), music residuals and royalties, 'trust funds and major contributions coming to him from family and his mother, Cher.' She specified that he was getting 'financial support directly from his Mother,' which was 'used to subordinate our lifestyle.' Cher, who reportedly has a net worth of $360 million, has publicly had a longtime feud with her daughter-in-law. So much so, that 'Queenie' is ready to fight. A source told Daily Mail, 'Marieangela believes the financial support she's asking for is warranted. She knows that Cher will want to fight her over this. She is used to it.' The aspiring entertainer has made it clear in the court docs that his famous family has money and that he can afford her attorney's fees and costs - at the rate of $300 per hour - from his sources of income, including his 'bank, estate, earnings, business distributions, his music LLC, family and institutions.' But, she assures the court that spousal support is not needed to help fund the luxe 'marital standard' she lived with Elijah, she alleges she needs $6,500 in monthly spousal support 'in order to pay for basic living expenses and obtain a vehicle.' 'We had a very high standard of living during the marriage. We lived in luxurious residences and hotels, traveled, ate at expensive restaurants,' she wrote. 'I am not asking for support sufficient to support me at our marital standard. I am asking for support to cover basic living expenses in order to move forward with efforts to become self supporting.' She detailed: '[Elijah] and I had a high standard of living during the marriage. We've traveled Europe staying in 5 star hotels. We lived in our Beverly Hills home and at our family home in Malibu. 'I've had access to private pools, gyms, chefs, maids, a therapist. We dine out at Mr Chows, Nobu, Chateau Marmont. I've flown on private planes, flown first & business class, stayed at the mansion in Vegas.' Elijah was just seen last month at celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont where he appeared to have hit rock bottom in a shambling, zombie-like disheveled ruin - as revealed in astonishing pictures and video exclusively obtained by Daily Mail. Marieangela stated that discovery, through valuation and forensic accounting, is needed to determine the value of their marital property and assets. 'I am asking the Court to direct full financial disclosure from Respondent (Allman), including business, trust, and personal accounts, and to authorize forensic tracing of all funds used to support our marital lifestyle,' she wrote, explaining that she has 'no access to communal assets or income.' She continued: 'A full disclosure of the business' finances and Respondent's share is necessary to determine what portion of those funds are community property or have been commingled.' She also reiterated: 'I am not requesting excess or luxury. I am requesting the Court's help in obtaining clarity and fairness, because without full financial disclosure and the ability to respond, I cannot safely or meaningfully engage in these proceedings.' Elijah has yet to file his response to the divorce or speak out in the public regarding any of her claims. A source, however, told Daily Mail that things between the couple could get ugly, especially if they're not seeing eye-to-eye with claims she's made. 'There's no doubt that Marieangela has supported Elijah emotionally and even financially at times throughout their marriage. But saying she completely put her career on hold since 2009 for him feels like a stretch,' the source insisted, while noting that she released 'several solo albums over the past 15 years.' 'Elijah has always encouraged her and helped her whenever he could. Their support for each other was mutual.' They continued, 'She had to show more love and patience during his relapses and low points, but their marriage had its highs too. While she may feel like she's been held back in some ways, it's not entirely fair to say she gave up her whole career for him.' At the same time, the source said that Marieangela 'gave everything she could to this marriage... but couldn't keep him sober.' The source added, 'Elijah has to want [sobriety] for himself, and right now, she feels he has put his love for his substance abuse issues before his love for her.' The source noted that his estranged wife had fought for him to get out of a Mexican rehab years ago, and then watched him sadly relapse again. In 2023, he was found passed out at Chateau Marmont, which prompted his mother to intervene and attempt to gain conservatorship of him after concerns of his mental health and substance abuse. But her attempt to win legal control over his financial and personal affairs foundered in court and Cher dropped the bid in September 2024. Cher's longtime feud was brought up in court documents at the time when she alleged that his now-ex wife had not been 'supportive of Elijah's recovery and... actively works to keep Elijah from getting clean and sober or receiving mental health treatment that he desperately needs'. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Cher, Elijah and Marieangela for comment. The former couple has had a tumultuous relationship. They got married in December 2013 and first filed for divorce in 2021. After Elijah filed the petition, he eventually decided to reconcile with Marieangela and call the divorce off in 2024. The couple then separated on March 31, 2025, according to King's petition for divorce filed in April of this year. On June 23, a court order for family-centered case resolution conference was filed, which is a standard ask from the court in divorces to have both parties meet and confer about the case and explore potential resolutions outside of the court. A hearing for spousal support, however, has been scheduled for August.

Cher's troubled son Elijah Blue Allman remains in hospital after drug overdose scare
Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman is recovering in hospital after an apparent drug overdose. Police were dispatched to his home in Landers, California, on Jube 14, after receiving a call that there was a man there who was 'acting erratically'. When they arrived they found Elijah being examined by emergency medical personnel. 'Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital,' a police statement said. 'The investigation is ongoing,' Five days after his hospitalisation there still hadn't been any update on the 48-year-old's condition. However, a source close to Cher shared that the mother of two is 'doing everything she can to help her son and help him get well.' This incident comes two months after Elijah's estranged wife, musician Marieangela King (37), professionally known as Queenie, filed for divorce for the second time – putting an end to their 12-year marriage. Elijah, who is also known by his stage name P Exeter Blue and plays guitar in the rock band Deadsy, was spotted last month in Hollywood looking very disoriented. In disturbing footage, he was seen standing around outside a hotel with a torn grey t-shirt, low-hanging shorts and slip-on shoes. The musician was holding what looked like a lit cigarette and was sweating profusely as cars passed him. His ankles appeared swollen and he had a few cuts on his leg. Elijah has always been open about his drug use and has often spoken about it. READ MORE | Brad and Angie's dance-loving daughter is forging her own path with support from close friend Keoni 'I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around 11,' he said back in 2014. 'I mean, it's just what you did, it's just what everybody did.' He also shared that he had some close calls with overdosing. 'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he said. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course, the wrong things can happen. The wrong combination of things can happen, and you can just slip into the abyss.' PHOTO: Gallo Image/Getty Image Towards the end of 2023, Elijah and Cher made headlines after she filed for conservatorship of her son's affairs. The Believe singer said in the court papers that Elijah made $120 000 (R2,2 million) a year on his own and also had access to a trust fund created by his late father, singer Gregg Allman. Cher, who also has a son, Chaz Bono (56), from her first marriage to Sonny Bono, said she was concerned Elijah would use all his money to buy drugs. At the time, Elijah acknowledged his struggles 'with addiction' and that he 'spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible'. However, he added that he was under the care of a doctor and was attending AA meetings. 'I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests,' he said. 'I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.' The Strong Enough singer withdrew her conservatorship request after a nine-month court battle. Cher has always described their relationship as 'bizarre'. 'We've had so many strange moments. I don't really understand him,' she said. 'Somehow Elijah and I kind of talk through osmosis. His mind is very expansive. He just dances to his own tune and doesn't really care.' Marieangela released a statement in support of her ex-husband, who remains hospitalised. 'While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves,' she said. 'Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles – but it is important to recognise that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat.' The singer says that even though she isn't married to Elijah anymore, she will continue to root for him. 'Despite the assumptions that often colour how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.'

Disturbing moment Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman stands in ‘zombie-like' state in 104F heat after ‘heroin overdose'
SHOCKING video shows the son of pop megastar Cher standing in a "zombie-like" state, high on drugs before he was rushed to hospital. Other disturbing footage obtained by The Sun shows Elijah Blue Allman carrying drugs wrapped in tin foil into an AirBnb before the suspected heroin overdose. 8 8 8 Witnesses say troubled Elijah, 48, Cher's youngest son, was badly sunburned and had swollen hands and feet as he stood motionless in the searing 104 degree heat in Joshua Tree, California. A video, caught on a Ring security camera earlier that day, appears to show a dishevelled Elijah unsteady on his feet as he carries his drug haul in from the car. He was dressed scruffily in blue shorts and a dirty white t-shirt, and was unshaven, with unkempt hair. The Sun can reveal the house is owned by his close pal and former Matthew Perry girlfriend, Kayti Edwards. Elijah went on a binge in the AirBnb and took a cocktail of heroin and fentanyl, a potent opioid drug, before paramedics were alerted, a close source told The Sun. Cops searched the property after he was taken to hospital and in photos seen by The Sun, heroin and white fentanyl powder are seen sprawled across a side-table next to rolled up paper. The powder appeared to have been 'chopped up' and snorted on the back of an iPhone. Cops subsequently stuck a "danger" notice to the front window of the AirBnB warning of the presence of fentanyl. While news reports claim Elijah was taken to hospital for a suspected overdose, friends have described the incident more as a drug-induced episode. They say Elijah, who has a history of substance abuse, desperately needs help. Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman, 48, rushed to hospital after overdose as singer says she is 'doing everything she can' Kayti, 48, told pals she was at the property on Saturday afternoon to check on Elijah after his behaviour had spiralled out of control in the days before. And on arrival she found him standing 'statue still' in the front yard in a 'foggy, zombie-like' state. A friend said: 'Kayti found him just standing there, unresponsive in her front yard, getting badly sunburned. 'He was blinking his eyes rapidly, but didn't acknowledge her at all. 'His hands and feet were also swollen, with scabs turning black, an affect of the drugs, that was what most concerned Kayti.' Paramedics were called and arrived on scene with police officers from San Bernardino Police Department - as is standard with drug call outs. The officers later executed a search warrant at the property and left a warning notice stating they had found fentanyl at the property. The pal said: 'Even the paramedics couldn't get through to Elijah when they arrived, he was just stood there staring into space for around ten minutes. 'Kayti had to convince him to snap out of it and to get on the stretcher and get some medical help.' 8 8 8 They added: 'Elijah had been staying at Kayti's AirBnb for over a week by that point, he arrived on June 6. 'They're old friends and he reached out and told her he needed to get out of LA and needed a place to stay. 'She met with him and took him out for dinner with her family and he stayed at a house she rents out, but she grew more and more worried about his odd behaviour. 'She'd known he had issues with drugs in the past but thought he was finally clean, but it quickly became apparent that wasn't the case, it's all very sad.' Pal Kayti, the granddaughter of screen legend Julie Andrews, had already lost her ex Matthew Perry to a drug overdose in October, 2023, and feared the same would happen to Elijah. The friend said: 'He's had drug problems for years and Kayti had supported him in the past as he tried to get clean. 'She was really worried about him when she saw what state he was in.' In a statement given to The Sun, pal Kayti said: 'Elijah and I have been close since we were teens. 8 'Although the whole thing that happened was really scary for me it could have been a lot worsened I am glad he's in a safe spot getting better.' Pals fears Elijah's troubling condition may have been down to the heroin he took being laced with Xylazine - a powerful veterinary tranquilliser which can slow breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure to dangerously low levels. Xylazine has become increasingly popular on the US drug scene, as has Fentanyl which he also took. Fentanyl is the potent opioid drug which has infuriated President Trump who sparked a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada, accusing them of doing very little to stem the flow of the drug in the US. Last night Elijah was still being treated in hospital, but it's understood he has been transferred to a private facility in Pasadena. His famous mum Cher is said to be focused on getting him the help he needs and rallying around him, according to a source. A spokesperson for San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said: "Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically. 'When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel.' 'Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing." Elijah's drug history is well known. His hospitalisation comes a year and a half after his hitmaker mum Cher was denied her request to be granted a conservatorship over her son. Cher was concerned that funds given to Elijah from his trust would be 'immediately spent on drugs,' according to legal documents. A judge ruled there was 'insufficient evidence' and denied the request without prejudice. In response to the petition, Elijah acknowledged his struggles 'with addiction' and admitted he 'spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible.' But he said he was under a doctor's care and had been attending AA meetings at the time. "I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests," he added in the documents. "I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.' Elijah's dad is Greg Allman, a frontman and co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band and a trailblazer of Southern Rock. He died in 2017 from liver cancer complications at his home in Savannah, Georgia. Cher's other son Chaz Bono was the product of the singer's relationship with Sonny Bono.

Cher's somber son Chaz Bono seen for first time since brother Elijah Blue Allman's overdose
Cher 's somber son Chaz Bono was seen for the first time since brother Elijah Blue Allman's overdose as he stepped out in California on Tuesday. The legendary performer's youngest child, 48, whom she shared with the late Gregg Allman, 'was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after overdosing earlier Saturday morning.' Chaz, 56, put on a brave face and wore a poignant 'Strong' shirt as he waved at snappers- three days after the devastating family event. This comes after harrowing new details emerged in Allman's overdose in Southern California over the weekend. A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokesman told 'On Saturday, June 14, 2025, at about 1:25 p.m., deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in the 2300 block of Cambria Avenue, in Landers, for a male subject acting erratically. 'When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing.' A source added that Allman remains hospitalized and his 'current condition is unclear.' has contacted representatives for Cher for comment and has yet to hear back. It is unknown what drugs Allman was using - with an insider adding 'Allman is 'very lucky to have survived. At this time, his mother is focused on 'doing everything she can to get him the help he needs' and only concerned for her son's well-being. Back in 2014, Allman revealed he began using drugs, like weed and ecstasy, at just 11 and detailed some close calls when it came to overdosing. 'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he told ET. '[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn't have that at that point, I don't know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.' Allman also revealed he had 'some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.' 'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he explained. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course the wrong things can happen. The wrong combination of things can happen and you can just slip into the abyss. I knew it was wrong and I knew that I was very unsatisfied with life at that point.' The Oscar winner filed for a temporary sole conservatorship over Elijah's finances in 2023, arguing he suffered from '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 court documents read. Cher withdrew the request in September 2024, nine months after he had filed court documents stating he was sober and had been attending AA-type meetings. Allman's father, Gregg, suffered from substance abuse issues which doctors believe lead to his death from liver cancer in 2012. Chaz, 56, put on a brave face and wore a poignant 'Strong' shirt as he waved at snappers- three days after the devastating family event His late uncle Duane Allman also struggled with drugs before being killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971. Allman's reported overdose comes after he was seen looking very sunburned, sweaty and disoriented outside the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in May. He is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife, Marieangela King. She has cited 'irreconcilable differences' and requested he pay $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support.
