I was so confused because I thought Cher had just one son who is a trans man. I actually didn't know she had a second son, now this makes more sense. Just looked up Chaz, the other son. He is the only son of Sonny and Cher as a couple. He also just recently got married, so that's nice.

Poor Cher. Dealing with this at almost 80 years old has got to be brutal. Hopefully she has people she can depend on to assist with this.

It's also a financial conservatorship and through a neutral third party. She is not seeking it herself and is not seeking complete conservatorship. Much different.

And she’s the one with the most money.

Lirael_Gold Apr 20, 2026 +61

She's also 79, and is probably not expecting to be able to spend that money. This isn't like some 50 year old taking control of their 20 year old kids finances, this is a legitimate use of the conservationship system.

16

Stingerc Apr 20, 2026 +265

Yup, his older half brother was praising Cher for doing this and saying he's completely out of control. Apparently the last few years the pattern has always been the same: he's stopped working and lives off the part of his father's estate he was left. Apparently apparently each one of his kids gets about 150 grand a year. The moment the money hits his account, he checks himself into a hotel and just parties and does drugs until he runs out of money a few months later (leaving behind thousands of dollars in damages his family usually covers) and then spends the rest of fhe year basically destitute.

265

Own_Round_7600 Apr 20, 2026 +151

I know so many rich kids like this. Don't work, no hobbies, never achieve anything, just party, drink, get high and spend from the endless tap of money they get from their parents or trust funds. And wonder why they're depressed and stuck in a string of shitty relationships and friendships with people who just want to use them. It's not always a good thing to give your kids so much money that they can just shut their brains off, i think.

Charlie_Mouse Apr 20, 2026 +24

That sort of thing always strikes me as showing such a staggering lack of imagination. If I had that sort of opportunity I’d build weird computer clusters, teach myself an instrument or learn how to paint, build a backyard radio telescope, write a book. Ok, a lot of the creative stuff I’d make would likely be c*** but I’d have such a lot of fun learning it and trying it. I find it hard to credit not having some sort of interest to potter about with. It doesn’t have even have to be original or imaginative: rebuilding clunkers, sailing boats, starting businesses, heck even golf. Or if you want to make a difference in people’s lives and be remembered start a charity or preserve a building/forest/whatever. And partying every so often is fine (heck, I do it too) but with the opportunity of all that time and money there’s a whole universe of interesting things to do out there.

24

InformalWish Apr 20, 2026 +22

I think, and there's no scientific background behind this thought or anything lol, But I think that that would have to do with the fact that you do have to work. You understand how important free time is and how important hobbies are to you to have some way to relax and have fun. They've never had to work, All they have is free time, So they just never grow up from the partying stage. They never have to be responsible for anything so they don't really get to the point where they see joy in doing things for fun. There's definitely plenty that I would do if I didn't have to work. I would love to have a creative outlet to help other people, without needing to worry about getting paid or paying for supplies or anything like that.

22

Tricky-Gemstone Apr 21, 2026 +11

This is anecdotal. But I have personal experience with this. I come from some money. Nothing crazy, but vacations, a large house, and other things were part of my life growing up. My siblings and I were intentionally kept in the dark about my parents' financial situation until we were adults. My parents always drove older cars for practicality, spent a lot of time budgeting, and didn't flaunt things. So I knew we had money, but no idea how much. Had I known the actual amount, I don't think I'd be as ambitious as I am, because I wouldn't have had to work nearly as hard.

11

Potater1802 Apr 21, 2026 +3

I mean even using your parent's money, power, and influence to become a nepo baby of some sort is more fulfilling than just partying, drugs, and being a degenerate your whole life.

3

Realitygormond Apr 20, 2026 +4

Personally I've always felt the idea of inheritance or providing for your kids in adulthood financially flies in the face of meritocracy. Some people just naturally struggle with higher pursuits and ambition so that's an innate risk of any person but giving your kids hundred of thousands to millions of dollars and then thinking they'll have any desire to do anything but take the free ride is a bit crazy to me.

4

Kinggakman Apr 20, 2026 +10

Very true but, the most powerful people in our society are the ones from rich families. Not trying to get your kids in on that doesn’t make sense.

10

Realitygormond Apr 20, 2026 +2

Definitely understand it. It's a natural tactic of procreation. You want your offspring to be successful and affluent so you pass on assets that put them at an advantage. It's unfortunate though that the concept goes beyond biological survivalist traits and into socioeconomic dynamics that detract from society and individuals in some cases.

2

AFewBerries Apr 20, 2026 +3

And what's wrong with taking the free ride? It's their life. They don't owe it to anyone to be successful. We have this ingrained idea that you have to struggle in this unfair system and your hard work will ''pay off'' even though the gap between the rich and poor keeps widening.

3

CraigLake Apr 20, 2026 +23

I know a guy like this. He’s a renowned artist that does civic installations. He had a job for the city I was living in and they paid him in steps as he worked on the project. Each time he got paid he’d disappear for a month and the project would languish until he ran out of money. Sounds stressful as hell to me.

23

Lirael_Gold Apr 20, 2026 +3

Sometimes people need a leash and that leash is "ah right I actually need to do this thing or else I'll have to actually deal with consequences" Know a few high earners who live like they're millionaires, but every so often they look at the books and go "oh, f***" and snap back to reality for a month or two.

Free Britney I swear was some plot from TMZ or something to get more future content. If you saw post the last few years it got worse and worse.

14

cubsgirl101 Apr 20, 2026 +71

Free Britney made sense considering the circumstances of her conservatorship. Her family had been trying to make money off her while she was in the throes of severe mental illness and essentially stole the majority of her income earned during her active years. Just because she’s still not doing well doesn’t mean she needs to be in a conservatorship. She just needs more people around her who can help her make better life choices.

71

Leftover_Bees Apr 20, 2026 +22

She didn’t even necessarily object to the conservatorship in general, just that her father was taking advantage of it. Didn’t she initially ask for the judge to just appoint someone else?

22

delorf Apr 20, 2026 +3

It sounds like her father used psychologists against her so that now she is afraid to go to therapy. Maybe she thinks it will prove them right if she's diagnosed with bipolar or something similar. In reality, therapy and medication could probably solve most of her issues. She probably needs treatment for PTSD too. The PTSD would not be just from her father, but the insane bullying she got from the press.

3

hokie47 Apr 20, 2026 +6

It doesn't help her case. Maybe she can. But she had years of clear and public evidence showing that she need help and it finally took her driving a car under the influence that could have killed herself or someone else to get help. How many times did she drive like that? It took her getting caught. She didn't have people around her or was responsible enough to ask for help.

6

cubsgirl101 Apr 20, 2026 +22

Except the point is that Britney couldn’t both be so mentally unwell she legally is incapable of caring for herself and able bodied enough to perform for crowds and release albums. Her family took advantage of her mental health crisis and kept her trapped in order to leech the profits from her career. Britney likely would have benefited from a temporary guardianship held by someone who actually gave a c*** about her as a person. But the one her dad was in charge of? It was used as a way to exploit her.

22

Neracca Apr 20, 2026 +35

Counterpoint: If she was so desperately in need of it, she had no business working? And her family had no right to take so much of her money. You CAN’T defend that.

35

Efficient_Plum6059 Apr 20, 2026 +9

I think it's fair to say she could have benefited from a conservatorship given her mental state *and* that she was taken advantage of by the people who were granted that conservatorship. They aren't mutually exclusive.

9

cubsgirl101 Apr 20, 2026 +18

Yes. That’s the entire reason she needed to be free of that specific conservatorship is my point. It’s not that conservatorships are blanket bad, but the one Britney was in did nothing for her well-being and it was a way to exert control over her when she was in a vulnerable place.

18

Gamer_Grease Apr 20, 2026 +8

It’s just what social media does with everything. Flattens it, sucks out all the context. Turns it into a caricature and compares it over-broadly to everything else. It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy.

Seems Britney was doing better under the conservatorship too.

0

MmeLaRue Apr 20, 2026 +8

Not really. Under the conservatorship, she was barred from making a lot of decisions for herself, including bodily autonomy. Because of the restrictions and the ganging-up on her finances by her parents and by her ex-husband, she no longer speaks to either of her now-adult sons nor does she assist them financially (to my knoledge.) She's in rehab, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when one has chosen it.

8

Ok-disaster2022 Apr 20, 2026 +1

This time she's asking for a court appointed neutral financial conservatorship The article make frequent references to drug debt. But like that's not legally enforceable and arguably some drug dealer trying to recover that money legally is sol.

doctor_gloom1 Apr 20, 2026 +44

Oh, absolutely. I live by the phrase, “mental illness is not your fault but it is your responsibility.” It’s not a pass. I’m just saying it can explain two disparate experiences with the same person. Of course, so can a bad flight or a stomachache on the day, who knows, but in this instance it seemed relevant.

44

Seachicken Apr 20, 2026 +21

There needs to be a big asterisk next to that phrase though. Severe mental illness can be neither your fault nor your responsibility. Many schitzophrenics for example lack both insight into their condition, and the capacity for insight. My brother is one of them. Schitzo affective disorder stripped away the ability for him to understand that he was mentally unwell. He can no more take responsibility for his condition than a double amputee can get up and walk around.

21

doctor_gloom1 Apr 20, 2026 +5

Sure, there are cases where it doesn’t apply. It does to the vast majority of us and it’s a beneficial token phrase for me as I used mine as a crutch for too long but I hear you and I’m sorry for your brother’s troubles. It’s a hard thing. I worked in mental health facilities for a long time, I’ve known folks who need to be taken responsibility for due to their conditions, and I certainly don’t mean to diminish or ignore those struggles. Perhaps I should adjust it to, “mental *health* is not your fault, etc.” as that is more directed towards the maintenance possible to those it’s possible for.

Deadsy was a whole vibe for a short period of time in the early 2000’s.

RevolutionaryGain823 Apr 20, 2026 +18

A lot of people online feel reassured to think that the family of mentally ill people are controlling monsters (Britney’s dad) or cold, distant monsters when they protect/distance themselves (that Ned’s survival guide lad who’s now on the streets and has refused multiple attempts at hospitalisation and wrecked the hotel room someone got for him). Unfortunately a lot of mentally ill people are a danger to themselves and those around them. Families get burnt out from being lied to, stolen from, threatened and assaulted. Society in general is happy to ignore it until it’s too late (the Reiner double murder) then throw out a “that’s terrible if only there were mental health services available” (even though Nick Reiner had gone through like a dozen rehabs/mental health facilities).

18

Gamer_Grease Apr 20, 2026 +13

You can always tell the people—online or in-person—who have zero experience with this kind of family dynamic, but want to express opinions about it. Just because someone was blessed with a perfect family life doesn’t mean they’re an expert!

13

wrathofkat Apr 20, 2026 +95

He’s had trouble with substances since he was a kid. I can’t imagine how hard it is to do this for a child at any age. I hope he can get the help he needs.

Far_Radish7752 Apr 20, 2026 +25

She put him into boarding schools for his whole childhood starting at age 7. Including a year at a military school and ending with a stint in the troubled teen industry. There has been little “grounding” in real life during his growing up years.

25

wrathofkat Apr 20, 2026 +17

100%! My comment isn’t to be a Cher apologist. I listened to her autobiography this past year and I was actually left a bit shocked at her “parenting” style.

17

Far_Radish7752 Apr 20, 2026 +13

He has said he felt abandoned (age 7). Her lifestyle was too busy to accommodate being a mother who was at least present.

Yikes. Got it. Thanks

wrathofkat Apr 20, 2026 +35

pretty easily searchable stuff. he started smoking weed around age 11, and other substances around then, too. between both parents touring and lifestyles, I don't think he had the strongest foundation as a child. It was also the 70s, and I think a lot of parents did not interact with their kids the same way as we do now. I'm a huge fan of Cher's, but you can see where the kids struggled when she was trying to keep her career going in the 70s and 80s. I believe he said he started using heroin in his early teen years, too.

It would be great if someone were to stop him from breaking into houses and schools in NH.

He recently broke in to a dining hall at St Paul’s School in Concord, then broke into a home in Windham. According to the news, the resident was hiding in a closet while he made himself at home. Both communities are near the highway, so you could say they are aligned. I am not too far from the second location so it really hit home:

Small correction - Gregg Allman, not Duane. Duane had already passed away in a motorcycle accident before Gregg and Cher started dating/got married.

TIL Cher had a kid with one of the Allman Brothers.

We play Melissa in my jam/music lesson group and I’m amazed nobody else in my group had brought this up before.

mooon_woman Apr 20, 2026 +8

my fiancé plays their music a lot too! i’m shocked he never told me, he is an audio engineer & into all things music, normally he tells me the music popculture drama 😿

I grew up on the Allman Brothers (dad's favorite band, and they became mine as well). They have a crazy (and quite depressing overall) history. Duane and Gregg's father was killed by a hitchhiker when they were very young children. Duane died in a motorcycle accident right when the band was making it big (and he had recently released the Layla album with Clapton). Then their bassist, Berry Oakley, died in a motorcycle accident a year later and only a few blocks from where Duane died. Gregg got deep into drugs and alcohol (led to the divorce with Cher), got into a huge fight with Dickie Betts when he testified against their manager on drug charges, and hit his lowest point during their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where he was nearly incoherent and claims he can't remember it at all. The good news is that led to him getting sober, putting his life together, and the band having a true Renaissance in the 2000's. Note - I probably got a few things wrong/out of order. Please feel free to correct me, all!

Bioschnaps Apr 20, 2026 +8

They also made a record together (not very well received) as Allman & Woman

the_other_50_percent Apr 20, 2026 +2

They were married!

Personal-Bonus-9245 Apr 20, 2026 +34

Isn’t Chaz older?

puddncake Apr 20, 2026 +48

Yes Sonny and Cher happened before Cher and Gregg. Remember when she dated Gene Simmons?

48

Personal-Bonus-9245 Apr 20, 2026 +16

No, missed that.

puddncake Apr 20, 2026 +10

Lucky you.

hogsucker Apr 20, 2026 +44

Wow, she had some remarkably bad taste in men.

George_Is_Upset Apr 20, 2026 +6

Have you seen her current partner? He has permanent diamond teeth and he’s around 40 Edit I just read they may get married near her 80th bday this year

Far-Conflict-1172 Apr 20, 2026 +4

Whelp she's almost 80 let her get what she wants I guess.

bunofpages Apr 20, 2026 +3

Ye, he may be half her age, but he's still pushing 40. Its not like she's parading around a 17 year old or something.

3

George_Is_Upset Apr 20, 2026 +2

I know right? Like what can we say - it’s Cher!!

2

No-Personality1840 Apr 20, 2026 +5

Sonny Bono was a great choice for her. She would have likely stayed an unknown without Sonny mentioning and guiding her. She grew up, was more famous than him and they went their separate ways. I adored her when I was a little kid and their show was on tv. He was so ugly compared to her (in my kid brain) but now that I’m older I get it. I see the Gregg Allman appeal but I don’t understand why anyone would date Gene Simmons.

BadPanda918 Apr 20, 2026 +7

Yes by 8 years

museum-mama Apr 20, 2026 +30

Another small correction - Elijah is not Cher's first child. Chaz ('69) Elijah ('76).

30

JoshHartsMilkMustach Apr 20, 2026 +5

Greggs son

panic_bread Apr 20, 2026 +4

No, Chaz is several years older than Elijah.

Taogevlas Apr 20, 2026 +28

> His brother Devon Allman stated in an affidavit that he recently visited Elijah and was forced to negotiate the debt directly with the dealer. The most rich-people-shit line you will read all week. "forced to negotiate the debt directly with the dealer", I really wonder what that "negotiation" looked like? I assume it was "Give me X dollars right now or I knife you", "I don't have X dollars, but I'll give you 20% of X now if you agree to not knife me, and I promise I'll still give you 100% of X later"

Deadsy was so awesome , hope he gets better soon . Cher had really tried so hard to save him

44

k_afka_ Apr 20, 2026 +14

"I got the key, key to gramercy park." I used to listen to a few Deadsy songs in my skateboarding years. Never knew the singer was the son of Cher until now. That's crazy. I used to listen to a lot of weird niche bands like Kill Hannah, and just never bothered looking any of them up.

14

Correct_Raisin4332 Apr 21, 2026 +5

I totally forgot about Kill Hannah! My mom was looking at my Deadsy album deciding whether to confiscate it when she mentioned he was Cher's son and let me keep it. Weird reasoning, but teenage me too a win when I got one.

EnvironmentalRock827 Apr 20, 2026 +8

I feel bad for her. This is no position any parent wants to be in.

Pale-Acanthaceae-736 Apr 21, 2026 +7

To be fair, as a kid he saw a lot of grown-ups hard-partying and thought that was normal, until he eventually found out that it really isn't. Drew Barrymore grew up the same way, but she wised up

7

NemODevO Apr 20, 2026 +3

Deadsy was a band that opened me up to the type of music I grew to love it's such a shame he turned out like this

InsomniaticWanderer Apr 21, 2026 +1

Cher is 79. I dunno if she's the best choice for conservatorship.

1

the-B-from-App23 Apr 21, 2026 +1

You can run a country at 79. Surely a cognitively competent 79 year old can hire some staff.

ForAte151623ForTeaTo Apr 21, 2026 +1

Good ol Cher and her Sonny

Woody_L Apr 21, 2026 +1

I just wanted to join everyone else on this thread, and point out that the child is a great granddaughter of Julie Andrews. Did you get that, Julie Andrews? Just in case repeating it 25 times didn't sink in. Julie Andrews.

Shouldve never gotten the key to Gramercy Park.

HumansNeedNotApply1 Apr 21, 2026 +1

Unfortunately, some people are mentally ill (even if they themselves try to deny it and may appear 'normal' besides the seemingly destructive behavior) that this is necessary, some people just won't be fully independent due to a "sick" brain.

Signal_Oil535 Apr 21, 2026 +1

Didn’t they put Britney Spears on conservatorship with less?

1

Serious-Bite6786 Apr 21, 2026 +1

It speaks volumes how many of us here remember *distinctly* just how f****** good Deadsy was. They had one major release and were a supporting band, but here we are reminiscing of those better years with skateboards and Deftones. I can hear Brand New Love like it was yesterday. Imagine them getting back together to support for the 'tones again.

MedicineExtension925 Apr 21, 2026 +1

That headline makes it sound like she was hospitalized, arrested multiple times, and then filed for conservatorship of her son.

harmboi Apr 22, 2026 +1

Wait is this the dude from deadsy?
