Court divorce documents filed by Elijah Blue Allman's soon-to-be ex-wife Marie Angela King claim that the Oscar winner hired four men to kidnap Allman from their hotel room in November of 2022.

Cher has been accused of hiring four men to kidnap her son Elijah Blue Allman from a hotel room in New York last year.

Allman, 47, was staying in the hotel room with his estranged wife, Marieangela King, whom he married in 2013.


They were reportedly on a New York trip together in an attempt to save their marriage after Allman filed for divorce in 2021.

The kidnapping allegation was revealed as part of the recently released court documents that were filed as part of their divorce proceedings in Los Angeles Superior Court.

In a signed court declaration from December 5, 2022, King claimed that on the night of their wedding anniversary on November 30, 2022:

"Four people came to our hotel room and removed [Mr Allman] from our room."

She continued to allege:

"I was told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired by [Mr Allman's] mother."

According to the court documents, King said her husband had been receiving treatment at a medical facility since August 2022.

She stated:

"Since August 2022, I have been told that I am not allowed to see or speak to [Allman] who is currently in lockdown at a treatment facility that is undisclosed to me."
"I am also told [Allman] has no access to his phone."

King added that in his "absence," she was "asked to leave [their] family home" by the "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer.

She further alleged that she "did so on the belief that my support payments would be timely," and that she was unable to retrieve her personal belongings from their home.

Said King:

"I was not allowed to retrieve all my belongings from our primary home and residence, nor was I given the opportunity to inventory our assets."

She then stated that she and Allman spent 12 days in New York "alone together" in November "working on [their] marriage" and that:

"Given the proper time, I believe that we will reconcile."

That was when she mentioned that four men "removed" her husband from their hotel room on the night of their wedding anniversary on his mother's orders.

Without much to go on, the internet had thoughts.






Some were protective of Cher and gave her the benefit of the doubt, while others used her song references in response to the wild news headline.



King added in December's court declaration:

"I am currently unaware of my husband's well-being or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him."

Allman is the son of the "Goddess of Pop" and her former second husband, the late rock musician Greg Allman.

In a 2014 interview, Allman said that he and King, also a musician, eloped and that his mother's reaction to the news was "crickets."

He noted that Cher and his wife "clashed a few times."

He said of King:

"My girl is not docile, she’s not well-behaved, she has an intimidating presence."
"I think it’s good for my mom to have a really strong and confident woman like my wife around."

He also said he was the "black sheep" of the family and that he had previously struggled with drug addiction.


Allman is the half-brother of Chaz Bono, Delilah Allman, Michael Allman, Layla Allman, and Devon Allman.

The next court date pertaining to this case is scheduled for October 27 in Los Angeles.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
