Cher accused of hiring abductors to kidnap her son

Cher has been accused of hiring professional kidnappers to abduct her son from a hotel in New York where he was staying with his wife. 

The allegations were contained in court documents filed by Elijah Blue Allman's wife, Marieangela King, according to reports by the BBC.

The documents allege that four men "removed" him from a New York hotel room on their anniversary in November 2022.

The allegations have recently come to light as part of the couple's divorce proceedings. 

King claimed that she and her then-husband had spent 12 days in the hotel room trying to "work out their marriage". 

Then, on the evening of November 30th 2022, which is also the couple's wedding anniversary, the four men charged into the room and "removed" Allman. 

"I was told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired by (Allman's) mother," she alleged.

In the court files from last December, King said that Allman had been receiving treatment at a medical facility for months, and she was "very concerned and worried" about his wellbeing. 

She went on to claim she hadn't been told where he was, and was unable to contact him.

Allman, 47, is the son of pop star Cher and her former husband, the late rock musician Gregg Allman.
