Cher has been accused of hiring men to kidnap her son from a hotel where he was staying with his wife last year.
Court documents filed by Elijah Blue Allman's wife, Marieangela King, allege that four men "removed" him
from
a New York hotel room on their anniversary in November 2022.
The pair had reportedly been at the hotel attempt- ing to save their marriage after fil- ing for divorce in 2021.
The BBC has contacted repre- sentatives for Cher and Ms King for comment.
In court docu- ments filed as part of divorce proceedings in Los Angeles Superior Court that have recently been made pub- lic, Ms King said she and Mr Allman had spent 12 days at the hotel "working out our marriage". But "after spend- ing these 12 days together in New York, on 30
November
2022, the night of our wedding anniversary, four people came to our hotel room and removed [Mr Allman] from our room," she claimed in a court declaration made in December 2022.
"I was told by one of the four men who took him that they were hired
by
[Mr Allman's] mother," she alleged.
In the court docu- ments, Ms King said her husband had been receiv- ing treatment at a medical facility since August 2022 - but she claimed she had not been told where it was and had no means of contacting him.

"I am currently unaware of my husband's wellbe- ing or where- abouts," she said in December, adding that she was "very con- cerned and wor- ried about him".
Mr Allman, 47, is the son of pop icon Cher and her former
husband, the late rock musician Gregg Allman.
He married Ms King - from the UK - in 2013. The two are both musicians.
Mr Allman has previously spoken about his drug abuse and addic- tion struggles, describing in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in
2014 how he had used drugs since the age of 11.
