00:00 Elijah Blue Allman is pushing back against Cher's wishes for a conservatorship over
00:05 her son.
00:06 In late December, news broke that pop star Cher is seeking a conservatorship over her
00:10 son, Elijah Blue Allman.
00:13 The legal document seeking the conservatorship claims it is necessary "to protect Elijah's
00:18 property from loss or injury" and because he is "currently unable to manage his assets
00:24 due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."
00:27 However, in new court documents obtained by People Magazine, Allman is fighting the conservatorship,
00:33 noting that he's struggled with addiction and has not handled money well in the past,
00:37 but is now in AA meetings and finding sobriety.
00:40 The filing from Allman states, "Under no circumstances am I comfortable having my mom
00:45 as my conservator.
00:46 While I understand that my mother, the proposed conservator, believes she is looking out for
00:50 my best interests and I appreciate her love and support, I do not need her unsolicited
00:55 help or support at this time."
00:58 While in court, Cher's lawyers argued that obtaining a conservatorship over Allman is
01:02 nothing short of a "life or death" decision.
