'Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles — but it is important to recognize that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat,' she continued about the musician. 'Despite the assumptions that often color how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.'

King also requested $6K per month in temporary spousal support, per the documents, and the family vehicle: a 2017 Toyota Prius.
'We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I'll always cherish,' she told People in a statement after her divorce filing. 'I know we'll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart.'

The split occurred after Cher, 79, filed for conservatorship over Elijah in 2023 and claimed he could not 'substantially manage his own financial resources' because of 'severe mental health and substance abuse issues.'

The 'Believe' singer also claimed that King was a bad influence on her son and actively worked against her efforts to get him help.
King, for her part, accused Cher of hiring four men to kidnap Elijah to send him to a rehab facility, which Cher denied.

Megan Thee Stallion Brings Hot Girl Summer to Love Island USA
Season 7 of Love Island USA was already spicy, but the show keeps leveling up. I'm obsessed! Summer House alum Paige DeSorbo hosted a lumberjack game for the islanders. And there was a naughty Leather and Lace party. Plus, for the first time, America voted and chose partners for three bombshells. And some islanders were spinning out afterwards. However, now the show has cranked the heat to scorching new levels because Megan Thee Stallion is serving up a Hot Girl Summer for the islanders. After the blind re-coupling and America's vote recoupling, some of the islanders weren't happy. When America picked Hannah Fields to couple with bombshell Pepe Garcia, she had been planning to stay in a couple with Charlie Georgiou. However, Charlie was voted off, so Hannah moved on. But she seems like she misses Charlie. Meanwhile, America tore apart Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa. And they were the first couple (so far) to have sex in the villa. When Jeremiah was coupled with Iris Kendall, Huda was furious. However, their relationship had a toxic dynamic that was wearing on Jeremiah. And I was living for Amaya Espinal's hostile competition with her former partner, Ace Greene. You know you shouldn't have picked her, Ace! So, in essence, a hot twerking contest is what this group needed. TMZ reported that Megan brought her sexy moves and had the islanders compete in a twerking contest. Oh, Lord! You may need to keep a cool drink on hand for those sultry shenanigans! Plus, Love Island USA reportedly had 1.2 billion minutes streamed in less than one week. And that was across nine episodes! Season 7 is killing it, because it took last season almost one month to hit a billion minutes streamed. Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LOVE ISLAND USA SEASON 7? ARE YOU EXCITED TO SEE MEGAN THEE STALLION? The post Megan Thee Stallion Brings Hot Girl Summer to Love Island USA appeared first on Reality Tea.
