This is not about fame or music. It is about a son, his estranged wife, and a mother accused of pulling the strings behind the scenes, with every move now recorded in legal documents.
According to new court filings from Los Angeles, Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, and his estranged wife, singer Marieangela “Queenie” King, are locked in a fresh battle over money and personal belongings. King claims that furniture and treasured items from their former home were quietly packed up and moved into storage units controlled by Cher and Elijah. She says she has no key, no code, and no way to know what is still there.
King also points to Cher’s longtime assistant, Deb Paull, as the gatekeeper. When she asks Elijah for access, she says he sends her to Deb, saying “she handles everything.” For King, it is proof that Cher still controls the situation, even after a judge rejected Cher’s attempt to place Elijah under a conservatorship in 2024.
This is all happening on top of a messy divorce, court-ordered spousal support, and King’s earlier claim that Cher once sent men to take Elijah from a New York hotel to push him into rehab. Cher has denied any “kidnapping,” saying she was trying to save her son’s life.

In June 2025, after a reported overdose scare involving Elijah, Marieangela “Queenie” King stepped in front of cameras and shared her side of the story. She described herself as the one trying to protect their marriage while hinting that a powerful force in the background kept pulling them apart.
Cher’s Son’s Estranged Wife Breaks Silence After His Reported Overdose
Earlier coverage of Elijah’s June 2025 overdose raised a hard question: was Cher’s failed conservatorship request actually a warning that nobody took seriously? That report walks through the Joshua Tree hospital scare, the fear that Elijah could relapse, and the idea that someone had to protect his money and property while he recovered. Seen next to King’s claims about “stolen” furniture and locked storage units, it turns Cher’s actions from simple control into a possible fight to keep her son alive.
