A Los Angeles County judge has denied Cher's emergency bid to have a court-appointed conservator placed in charge of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, who remains in a psychiatric facility in New Hampshire facing criminal charges. The judge stated that she did not see the urgency and would reconsider the matter at a follow-up hearing in June. Allman appeared at the hearing remotely and spoke only briefly, thanking the judge for her decision. Cher had previously requested a conservatorship in 2023, claiming Allman "urgently needed" protection due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues. Her lawyer, Justin Gold, argued that Allman is burdened by substantial debts and a $200,000 tax bill.
