I don’t know what to make of this story about Cher, so prepare yourself for a healthy dose of “allegedlies”.  One rarely hears about Cher’s son, Elijah Blue (and you thought crazy names started with Apple).  Elijah has allegedly had a troubled relationship with his mom for decades.  In 2013, he eloped with Marie Angela King – known to her friends as Queenie.  Elijah claims Cher never acknowledged the union.  What did he hear from her?  “Crickets,” says Elijah.  “I wasn’t going to wait for anyone’s approval and congratulations just like I’ve never waited for any of that my whole life.”  More pressing is that Elijah has had a drug problem for decades.  Well, he is an Allman.  He’s admitted to starting to take drugs at 11 and has been addicted to numerous substances, including heroin.

Although Elijah filed for divorce from Queenie in 2021, the couple’s on-again/off-again relationship continued.  Queenie claims that on November 30, 2022, they were in a hotel room in NYC celebrating their anniversary when four men burst in to abduct Elijah – I hate when that happens.  Queenie claims one of the abductors told her they were hired by Cher!  This is sounding a whole lot like Jussie Smollett and those Nigerian bodybuilders – or maybe I just want to be alone in a hotel room with two Nigerian bodybuilders.  Queenie filed court papers on December 5, 2022, stating, “I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts…I was told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired by [Elijah’s] mother.”  She adds that Elijah is “currently in lockdown at a treatment facility that is undisclosed to me.”  So, why is this story only going public a year later?  It was part of the couple’s divorce case, and the next court date is October 27^th.  Presumably, both Elijah and Queenie will be there.
