Cher's Troubled Son Served Divorce Papers Demanding Support Days After Looking Disheveled in L.A.
's troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman, was served legal papers by his estranged wife days after being spotted looking disheveled at a Hollywood hot spot, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, last week, Elijah's ex, Marieangela King Allman, notified the court she had him personally served on May 17 at 5:50 p.m. at a three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in North Hollywood, California, worth an estimated $1 million.
Marieangela filed for divorce from Elijah, 48, on April 8 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
She listed the date of marriage as December 1, 2013, and the date of separation as March 31.
The exes have been married 11 years and three months, according to the filing.
In her petition, obtained by In Touch, Marieangela said they had no children.
She cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split.
Marieangela demanded Elijah pay her spousal support and his ability to collect any support be cut off. She asked that the spousal support be paid retroactive to the date of the filing, 'with credit for any funds voluntarily paid.'
She requested $6,000 per month in temporary spousal support based on the 'marital standard and ability for [Elijah] to pay.'
Marieangela also asked for exclusive use of the home they shared their 2017 Toyota Prius V. She said if Elijah kept the car, she requested an additional $2,000 one-time payment and an additional $500 per month in spousal support for a car.
Marieangela asked the court to order Elijah to cough up another $10,000 to pay for her legal fees. 'if the parties settle this matter before these funds are expended, [Elijah] shall receive the balance of the retainers, if any. If attorney fees and expert fees are expended, [Elijah] will pay all additional fees for both him and [Angelamarie] through entry of final judgment,' her petition requested.
"We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I'll always cherish. I know we'll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart," Marieangela told People about the split.
She ended, "As we turn the page to this next chapter, we kindly ask for privacy and truly appreciate your understanding."
Elijah previously filed for divorce from Marieangela in 2021.
He dismissed the case in early 2024 amid his court battle with his mom, Cher, 78.
Cher rushed to court in late 2023 pleading for a conservatorship over Elijah. Elijah's dad is Cher's musician ex, Gregg Allman, who died in 2017.
'Elijah is substantially unable to manage his financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues,' Cher's filing read.
'Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, [Cher] is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk,' her lawyer added.
Cher told the court that her son had been paid over a million dollars from his father's estate but did not have a savings. The legendary pop star called out her son's wife, Marieangela.
Her lawyer alleged Marieangela, 'is not supportive of Elijah's recovery and that Angela actively works to keep Elijah from getting clean and sober or receiving mental health treatment that he desperately needs.'
The petition added, 'Most recently, [Cher] is informed and believes that Angela took steps to check Elijah out of the treatment center where he was receiving much-needed medical care.'
Maireangela scoffed at the claims in court. At the time, she said, 'We live together as a married couple and I see the irrefutable daily effort he is making to stay sober. He attends AA meetings 5-6 times a week, he is free of drugs."
She added, "He is tending to his finances, getting his bills paid, and ensuring that his property is under his control.'
Marieangela claimed Cher was not fit to serve as conservator and accused her of being unable to manage her 'own affairs.'
For his part, Elijah opposed his mom's request to place him under a conservatorship.
He argued he had been clean for several months and did not need his mom controlling his life.
In late 2024, Cher dismissed her request for a conservatorship after reaching a deal with her son. On May 9, Page Six posted photos of Elijah looking a disheveled outside Chateau Marmont.
The outlet reported Cher's son exhibited 'concerning behavior' at the Hollywood hot spot. Elijah was seen with 'swollen ankles and wore a single red acrylic fingernail on his right ring finger,' the outlet reported.
Elijah has yet to respond to Marieangela's divorce petition.

Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement
Fans React To Massive 'College GameDay' Announcement originally appeared on The Spun. As Lee Corso prepares to sign off of "College GameDay" for the final time just a couple short months from now, one of the show's most beloved traditions will also reportedly be leaving with him. According to ESPN, "GameDay" will no longer be doing the iconic headgear picks following Corso's retirement. Which was also confirmed by longtime host Rece Davis: "No one is going to put on a mascot head ever again," Davis said. CFB fans around the country reacted to the news over the weekend. "Proud to have been a Lee Corso headgear pick ✅" Bowling Green replied. "Right move," a user said. "Can never replicate Corso." "No one else can do it like Corso. Good decision," another tagged ESPN. "This is truly a sad day," a fan admitted. "This is a bummer but totally understand the decision," another person commented. "I'll miss seeing it, but it's definitely the right and honorable thing to do," another user posted. "I have no problem with this Lee Corso is a legend," another fan shared. "I understand this move but I'm going to miss it. I made sure to tune in so I could see the headgear pick every Saturday. Without it, no point tuning in to College Gameday over other shows." "I mean no offense to the rest of the crew but the Gameday show as a whole will die out without Corso. You just can't replace what he brought with the headgear," a viewer pointed out.

Bentonville Film Festival: ‘Rosemead,' ‘The Librarians,' ‘Sovereign' Win Awards, Lucy Liu Receives Rising to The Challenge Honor
It's shaping up as an award-winning summer for actress-producer Lucy Liu. On Saturday night Liu received the Rising to the Challenge Award at the Bentonville Film Festival in Arkansas, an honor that 'recognizes artists who champion storytelling that breaks barriers and broadens representation.' More from Deadline Geena Davis Praises 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' For Diverse Casting, Sees More Opportunity For Progress In Hollywood - Bentonville Film Festival Bentonville Film Festival Forecast: Award-Winning Films, 100% Chance Of Al Roker Sighting, World Premieres, Oscar Contenders And An Olympic Champion 'Rosemead' Review: Lucy Liu Scores As A Suburban Mom Forced To Confront The Unthinkable - Tribeca Festival It wasn't her only award of the night. Her new drama Rosemead, directed by Eric Lin, won Best Narrative at the 11th edition of the festival chaired by Geena Davis. Liu produced the film and stars as 'Irene,' a Chinese immigrant who simultaneously faces a personal health crisis and the alarming descent of her son into schizophrenia. 'Rosemead captures the terrifying realities of motherhood in our contemporary era,' wrote the jury, comprised of filmmaker Marie Jamora (guest artistic director of AFI's Directing Workshop for Women) and filmmaker Bomani J. Story (The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster). 'When culture, society, and healthcare break down, how can a mother protect her own child? With a powerhouse performance from the often underused Lucy Liu, you understand every choice she makes. Director Eric Lin sparks real world conversations about the society we're living in through an intimate, unflinching film based on true events in the San Gabriel Valley. The very essence of what great cinema can do.' Scroll for the full list of awards. Speaking with Deadline just before the ceremony began, Liu called the Rising to the Challenge Award 'very meaningful because it's something that's about diversity and about bringing stories to the forefront. Knowing that this particular story [Rosemead] is all about that is exactly connected and so it's aligned in the best way possible.' The film premiered earlier this month at Tribeca Festival. Deadline's Damon Wise praised Lin and screenwriter Marilyn Fu, writing in his review that they afford Liu 'the headspace she needs to deliver a performance of quiet power, selling us on the desperation that drives Irene to the limits of her always practical-minded sanity.' In August, Liu will receive the Career Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, where Rosemead will hold its international premiere. At Saturday night's Bentonville Film Festival Awards ceremony, The Librarians won Best Documentary. The film directed by Kim A Snyder and executive produced by Sarah Jessica Parker examines attempts by librarians in Florida and Texas and elsewhere to combat book banning efforts, while simultaneously facing unhinged attacks from right wing zealots accusing them of grooming children. 'This extraordinary film is powerful, timely and needed,' wrote the jury comprised of director-producer Kathryn Everett (founder of 5D Studios), James Faust (artistic director, Dallas International Film Festival), and producer-actor Pallavi Sastry (co-director of programming, iSAFF). 'It enrages and saddens, with not a second missed. The storytelling does not discriminate in its coverage, making its points thoroughly, in a scary, chilling and necessary exploration. These librarians are heroes.' The inaugural Homegrown Award went to Sovereign, a drama directed by Christian Swegal and produced by Nick Moceri that was partly filmed in nearby Fayetteville. 'Under the visionary direction of Christian Swegal, this bold story is elevated by a cast whose performances bring depth and authenticity to every scene,' wrote jurors Joshua Dahlman (program director of shorts & MN features, Twin Cities Film Festival); producer Nicole Shipley (co-founder and CEO of Safe Space Pictures Foundation), and Claire Taylor (chief program officer, SeriesFest). 'Sovereign bravely opens a window into a side of American culture that is often difficult to discuss. The film invites viewers to confront complex realities with honesty and compassion, sparking important conversations that linger long after the credits roll.' In a statement, BFF chair Geena Davis said, 'These awards reflect the passion and drive of storytellers, whose work will continue to broaden perspectives and engage audiences throughout the year. We congratulate our BFF award winners and we're so thankful to every filmmaker here for their contributions to the success of this year's BFF!' This is the full list of winners and special jury mentions: Best Narrative Jury: Marie Jamora (Director; Guest Artistic Director of AFI's Directing Workshop for Women), Bomani J.

The very essence of what great cinema can do. Special Jury Mention for Directorial Vision: (Director/Writer, David Fortune; Producers, Kiah Clingman, Kristen Uno, Autumn Bailey-Ford) Jury Statement: David Fortune's 'Color Book' makes daring choices through form and subject matter. In a stripped down tale of a father just trying to get his son to a baseball game, the film unearths profound themes about the world we live in with a consistent command of beautiful visuals, performances, and crisp storytelling. Fortune's vision speaks through a confident hand like he's done this many times before. Special Jury Mention for Ensemble Cast: (Director/Producer, Rich Newey; Writer/Producer, Annika Marks; Producers, Angie Gaffney, Thomas Sadoski) Jury Statement: In these times, the world needs to laugh, and 'Adult Children' dispenses the chuckles effortlessly through its superb ensemble playing a maladjusted family colliding back together.

The storytelling does not discriminate in its coverage, making its points thoroughly, in a scary, chilling and necessary exploration. These librarians are heroes. Special Jury Mention (Documentary): (Director/Producer, Sam Feder; Producers, Amy Scholder, Paula Mendoza) Jury Statement: 'Heightened Scrutiny' is a film that humanizes an issue that's become increasingly political, making it a story about people. A quintessential example of journalistic storytelling, the Jury found it uplifting, heart centered, factual, human and necessary. It beautifully contextualizes the war on trans people and the undue stress and scrutiny they face just to be themselves. Best Homegrown Jury: Joshua Dahlman (Program Director of Shorts & MN Features, Twin Cities Film Festival), Nicole Shipley (Producer; Co-founder and CEO of Safe Space Pictures Foundation), Claire Taylor (Chief Program Officer, SeriesFest) Best Homegrown: (Director/Writer, Christian Swegal; Producer, Nick Moceri) Jury Statement: Under the visionary direction of Christian Swegal, this bold story is elevated by a cast whose performances bring depth and authenticity to every scene.

Special Jury Mention (Homegrown): (Directors/Producers, Brock Wagner, Tim Johnson; Producers, Jason Williams, Uriah Nazario, Bianca Montoya, Brian Carlson, John Hunter) Jury Statement: For its powerful storytelling that uplifts under-recognized voices and celebrates resilience.

Performances you missed from the U.S. Army's 250th birthday parade
Last week, Washington, D.C., transformed into a hub as it prepared to host the monumental 250th anniversary celebration of the United States Army. Against a backdrop of political discussions and public demonstrations, the city focused on commemorating this historic milestone for one of the nation's most enduring institutions. The celebration was a blend of musical performances, including country music artists, Army veterans and the esteemed U.S. Army Drill Team. Exhibitions throughout the parade showcased key military highlights from its 250-year history. Although President Donald Trump's 79th birthday coincided with the occasion, the spotlight remained on honoring the distinguished legacy and commitment of the United States Army. Here are a few of the highlights from the weekend's festivities. The U.S. Army Drill Team, a drill unit known for its precision drill and excellence, serves as 'good-will ambassadors,' per the military's website. The Drill Team is a part of the historic 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, which is the Army's official ceremonial unit. Another captivating element during Saturday's parade was the display of military uniforms from various eras, along with commentary on technological and tactical evolutions in the military's operations. Grammy Award-winning country music legend Lee Greenwood performed his patriotic anthem, 'God Bless the USA,' capturing the spirit of the celebration. Greenwood later posted on social media about the event. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient Scotty Hasting performed his song 'I'm America,' paying tribute to military service members. Hasting uses his music as a therapeutic outlet, in hopes of helping others struggling with loss or mental health challenges. 'For me, the demons of PTSD knock the loudest when it's quiet. When I have a guitar in my hands I find peace,' he shared on his website. Country music star Warren Zeiders performed a few of his hit songs, like 'Pretty Little Poison' and 'Ride the Lightning,' wishing the Army and the president a happy birthday. Zeiders took to X before the event, reposting a video with a military service member, highlighting the events about to take place. The celebration reached its grand finale with a breathtaking fireworks display that illuminated the night sky, concluding the U.S. Army's birthday festivities. Additional performances throughout the event included DJ Nyla Symone and Noah Hicks.
